#11 of 559 Brakes and wind noise by jaki30 Mar 24, 2002 (5:07 pm)
There is a TSB for the rotors. My sister has a 2000 Max GLE. The dealer covered the repair under warranty.   My 01 I30 will be a year old next week. My wife has 5900 miles on it. I drove it tonight and noticed there appears to be significant wind noise from the doors, more pronounced on the passenger side. Anyone have a fix?
#12 of 559 2000 I30 Brakes by acrane Apr 08, 2002 (5:47 am)
1st Question. Could someone give more details on the TSB on the brake rotors on the 2000 I30/Maxima?   2nd Question. Does the emergency brake act on the rear calipers or is there a supplemental mini drum brake used at the rear for the emergency brake?   Thanks.
#13 of 559 Brake vibration by jeh255 May 28, 2002 (1:25 pm)
I've experienced the same problem with my 2000 I30. The problem started at about 2000 miles and the dealer attempted 6 times to fixe the problem, including working with rotors,and replacing rotors. The problem would return within a few hundred miles of the repair. At about 25000 they were serviced in compliance with a TSB and have been great for the last 6000 miles. Bug your dealer
#14 of 559 water leaking from bottom of car by pbernard1 May 31, 2002 (7:06 am)
I have just purchased an 99' I30 last week and I notice after driving with the A/C on there was water leaking from under the car. I need to know is this normal, or do I need to notify the dealership to have something fixed   PB
#15 of 559 Engine died and sometimes hesitates by amarmistry Jun 05, 2002 (3:44 am)
I have an 1996 I30 with 88000 miles on it. This was purchased used, after a thorough lemon check and previous owner had all maintenance records and papers. Few weeks ago when I came back home from a short trip and ready to park and was backing up. Once I backed up I put it in Drive, the car stopped. The engine completely died on me. I try to restart and drive, same thing happened around 3 times. Then I started the car again and while in Park, I accelerated the gas pedal and it started and worked fine ever since. After that episode, I noticed that once in a while the car hesitated to start while stopping on a red light(always in Drive mode) or stop sign. The original problem occurred today too. I was waiting in a parking lot to park while someone was backing up. I have had the car in Drive mode. The engine died on me. I restarted and while in Park, accelerated the gas pedal and it drove well. Anyone has experience the similar problem? What could be going wrong? Do you guys think this could be a transmission problem or fuel injector problem? Any advice will be valuable. Thank you.

#16 of 559 Hey JEH255, what is the TSB number for the brakes by wtfletcher Jun 11, 2002 (7:39 am)
I didn't buy a brand new "luxury" car (yeah right) to have problems like this. My 2000 I30T has the same problems with the brakes. What is the TSB number for the brake problem? Thanks JEH255 in advance for the info. And for you new auto buyers considering and Infiniti - 1) After about 2,500 miles (not 25,000) I noticed a large cloud of smoke when I started it. It only does it about once every 2 or 3 months. Now, the engine is missing every once in a while (92 octane minimum always used). Dealer says he can't fix it if he can't see the smoke! 2) At about 10,000 miles my transmission started slipping bigtime between 1st and 2nd gear when moderately accelerating. I have taken it back twice for this problem and it hasn't been fixed yet. 3) When going into turns the front tires(Bridgestone-Potenza's) will break loose quicker than my 6000 pound truck will. They say it's a tire problem. 4) Wind noise on the passenger side. Hasn't been fixed. 5) Drivers window squeaks. Fixed for about a month and then came back. 6) Front end rattles when turning left. Fixed for about 2 months, then came back. 7) Heater-A/C blower motor is excessively loud. This is a beatiful car but I am not impressed by Nissan/Infiniti in the least. And you can bet your sweet (well, you know) I won't be buying another one, and you might consider these notes before dropping 30G's. I should have spent the extra money and bought a German car.

#19 of 559 Cabin air filter by wain Jul 26, 2002 (6:31 am)
Do the 1999 I 30s have a cabin air filter?   I thought the brochure we got ( I have it but can not find it) when we bought the car said it had a cabin air filter? any way to check w/o pulling the glove box????
#20 of 559 i'm sorry by karz10 Aug 05, 2002 (4:26 am)
that, wtfletcher, you have had so many challenges w/ your '00 I30t, it is frustrating to have recurring issues   however, i guess curiousity got the best of me, i assume when you say, you should have spent the extra money and bought german, you probably meant BMW?   Regardless, that idea is correct only if you feel you would be happier in the German ride despite the possibility of having similar problems. In other words, by making that statement, it implies that you feel you should have bought German anyway, I hope so, because on average I think most people would agree that the higher end Japanese makes still carry a better fit and finish, initial quality, as well as over all reliability, than any other part of the world. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect world, and even the best manufactured products have some issues, including BMW and the like, plus you have to spend a considerable amount more to get comparable features and size in a BMW compared to the Infiniti.   Just food for thought, no annomosity intended, I considered buying a used 540 as I was making my decision to buy last year, but was cautioned by experts about the realistic cost of ownership which made me lean toward a more practical route for me, for less money I got a new I30t w/ side sills, spoiler, s/r, s/s for $27k...   Good luck finding a resolution, I know my '01 handles like on rails at 100mph+, and the ABS works real well, I don't believe the suspension is as good as the '02 Acura TL Type-S as I also considered that car, but you can't have everything, after all it was still a rear-beam in the I30's, but you shouldn't be getting the handling problems you described, maybe you should take some of your documentation and contact Infiniti HQ to help you resolve??   Karz Replies to this message: teutonicdriver (Jan 23, 2006 8:42 pm) cwking11 (Aug 05, 2006 1:18 am) churick (Aug 07, 2006 3:10 am)
