I drive in about 50/50 highway-rush hour mix. Currently averaging 22mpg.

I am going to take a look at the guide pins when I swap out my summer tires for winters this fall.

 

I have a 2009 G37x that has had constant problems with the brake calipers seizing and the brakes being worn out extremely quickly. It's not my driving, it's the calipers themselves (I know everyone would say this, but I have made concerted efforts to extend the life of my brakes as much as possible). I had the brakes replaced around 35,000 miles, and when I brought it in for service at 45,000 miles they wanted to replace my brakes again. They said that the calipers had seized, so they would have to replace those as well. I reminded them that they were the ones who installed the brakes 10,000 miles prior, and that the car had passed their inspection when I brought it in for an oil change in between these two appointments. Luckily, they agreed that they would replace the brakes and calipers for free because they were clearly at fault. Or at least Infiniti was. Well now I'm at 55,000 miles, I just brought my car in for service, and guess what - the brake pads are worn out, the rotors are screwed up, and the brake calipers have seized. They want to charge me $2,500+ to replace all the pads, rotors, and calipers. I'm livid, as you guys might imagine, and I'm actually on here right now trying to see if other people have had this problem with their cars. Any advice that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated - I want to refuse to get the work done at this dealership, but I also know that the work does need to be done.
