The pads themselves aren't covered. Just about anything else that's a
defect (not normal wear and tear) should be covered. If you've got 35k on
an '04, you shouldn't have any issues with rust or dirt buildup, etc.

 

PERHAPS...

if you have checked for
...fluid leakage
....master cylinder
....pads.
then,
I would check the brake booster. I'm almost certain it could be that. I have
a Nissan 280Zx with the same problem. (bad brake booster)
I would also check the systems vacuum.
