Same with the brakes on the G35 Coupes.

Lots of owners whined and cried because they didn't last as long as they thought they should have.

Most were replaced under warranty, so it's not a real concern for anyone buying a used truck.

Personally the way I drive **** gets worn out quick and oil changes come all to often.

Pads and rotors.

They were a very aggressive compund, which made a lot of dust, and had a lot of "bite" - But those are common traits of performance pads.

2004s had issues with rotors warping on front. this has been addressed and it doesn't seem to be an issue with the newer trucks.

Nissan's fix was to thicken the plates on the rotors(overall dimensions are the same). It seems to have resolved the issue for most, but I have still heard of a few issues for some with the updated rotors. I have Stillen's Monster Brake Kit on mine so I have no worries.
