I had this problem before back in 2/08 but what they said was that the tires may need to be rotated of coarse that cost me. It seemed to work but then a few weeks later the problem occurred again. This time it was repaired by cutting the rotors but now the brake go down far. It don't feel safe.

Significant brake vibration while braking. Took to a Nissan dealership, brake pads were worn out, rotors needed turning (2nd time rotors needed turning). Vehicle has a 36,000 or 3 year warranty which the vehicle was still within that mileage and time frame. Nissan indicated that it was "normal" and not covered under warranty. I said it was NOT "normal" for the brakes to be worn out at 29,100 miles and the warranty stated that defects in materials and workmanship would be covered even on "normal" maintenance items. Nissan disagree'ed and refused to pay for the repair. First vehicle I have ever owned that the brakes were worn out so soon on a brand new $30,000 vehicle driven under very good driving conditions on mostly flat land.

Like the others on this site with the same problem I too was told by Nissan that the prob wasn't covered by the warranty. Nissan told me the rotors were "Out of round".
This happened twice within a short period of time. I NEVER had this issue on any other vehicle I owned. Yes brakes need to be serviced and replaced, but not like this. It seems that the rotors on the 2004 Quest were faulty and instead of doing a recall Nissan just has us paying to replace them with the same sub standard parts. I'm extremely dissatisfied with their service. When I turn in my lease I'm NOT going to purchase another Nissan vehicle. I've had other issues too, The most recent one is electrical.
