Warped Rotors

Warped rotors is a very distinct feel. I'd call it a pulsation you feel through the pedal and it is often (not always) accompanied by a pulling to one side but sort of different from alignment issues if that makes any sense. I have even heard a sound before with the window down, hard to describe it though.

The car doesn't pull, it just chatters under braking. They are severely warped. Rotor design and materials will determine how prone rotors are to warping. The brakes on the G37 are just not great. They fade and get spongy when pushed hard. The Brembo rotors on my G35 were abused more severely, for twice the miles, and were always perfectly true. When trading my G35 for the G37 I was disappointed to see I would lose the Brembos. The salesman said the 37 brakes were just as good. I wanted to believe him...
My rotors started warping around 10K miles and have gotten progressively worse. Under hard driving they get really bad. Maybe you are not supposed to get these brakes hot. Maybe that's what warped them. Maybe if G35 would have had Brembo's, the comparison would not be so stark. Maybe Nissan should have stuck with what worked.

That was good, you make me laugh
BB is totally right, ROTORS DO WARP. And yes, they can get warped the very same day you buy your car. Get them hot and accidentally soak them and you will see. My rotors are warped. The bigger the rotors are the worst you feel the pulsation under hard breaking. BTW I have a quotation from Brake Performance (performance rotors) they offer a lifetime warranty against warping.

your rotors may have been warped due to overtightening of your lugs which cant be expected to be covered under warranty. always ensure that whoever takes them off uses a torque wrench to put them back on.
