Had to laugh because my dad and I went through just about the same thing with my mom's I30. The brakes are noisy and even with brand new rotors and pads (worn in or new) there is still some shudder. Hopefully you will have better luck than my mom is currently though. Her car is just under 85k miles and in the last three weeks she has dumped $2500 into it, and it's going back into the shop tomorrow.

List of stuff fixed:
ABS controller
PCV evap canister and lines replaced
Crank position sensor
oxygen sensor
fuel pump, filter, and lines
knock sensor
egr valve
9 computer diagnostics at $59.99 a piece

And it goes back to Bennett Infiniti tomorrow because it's making yet another horrible noise. Sounds like another problem in the fuel system, near the injectors/fuel rails.

My mom test drove a brand new Grand Prix GTP this weekend and loved it, so depending on the price of this next repair, the only import left at my parents house may be on it's way out.
Holy Cow! Did all that stuff need replacing or did they just throw a bunch of parts at it until it ran well?? Instead of getting a new car, I'd find myself a new dealer.
