I'll just buy something else next time .

We have 5 Hondas in our family. None of them has any brake problem. We've owned 3 Lexuses. They all have "luxury" brake feel - no vibration + bite well. The Accord that I get to drive once or twice a week has perfectly smooth feel and brake power on original pads and rotors at 70K+ miles

The only issue I expected with Nissan/Infiniti when I purchased the car was rattles. Surprisingly, I've got no rattles what so ever

The quality is so different and better. And what's funnier is to read all the saps on the charger forums who have a 2006-2010 model who say the new model ain't all that great, lol, total sour grapes.
