Yeah, I got fed the same line too.  Seems the dealers cant get their info straight.  All I KNOW is my 05 is doing EXACTLY what my wife's 04 has done.

Oh, and here's an e-mail from Courtesy Nissan (In texas I believe...good parts guys)

The brakes were always Bosch and that's a very general claim. I think parts of the brake system are Bosch (ABS and other controllers) but as you go out to the simple parts like master cylinder,brake lines,calipers,rotors & pads it's iffy.

A lot of people have had judder 1,2,3 times but the same Nissan OE parts just keep getting replaced. I haven't yet heard of one person yet who changed the pads or rotors to something completely different -AND HAD THE JUDDER COME BACK.

Many are starting to try different pads, Carbotech, Stillin,Akebono and slotted & drilled rotors by a variety of sources.Mostly because they've just became available.

Let's see how these work - a simple change in pad type/material my fix this problem for most.

I have an 05 here, been driving it for about a month now (978 miles) and have not had a problem with the brakes yet. Although after reading some of the threads here I was a little scared and took a look at them the other day, while there was a bit of wear on them (which is to be expected as I am a tad bit heavy footed on the breaks) I don't see any problems. 

Additional, while the breaks are technically the same in the 04 and 05 model, I have heard that the manufacturing of them at the nissan plant has changed out and fixed the problem.  I am not sure if this is true or not and I don't know if anyone else has heard something similiar.
