#4 of 559 I30 near luxury sedan by akimus Aug 24, 2001 (1:54 pm)
i bought an I30 a month ago and I am very impressed with the roominess,sleek good looks and the quickness of this car. I test drove it twice and was impressed with the quietness inside. I could not wait to get this baby on the open road so after picking it up on a Tuesday I headed out on a five hundred mile trip down highway 95. The first think that I noticed was the wind noise. After a while it started to rain and the rain noise in the wheel welds was frightening. There are no lights on the steering wheel controls. In my opinion Infinite put very little fore thought in the design of this car.
#5 of 559 2001 Pearl White with chipping paint by funclc Sep 29, 2001 (11:15 am)
I bought a 2001 i30 from Enterprise with only 11,000 miles on it 6 weeks ago. 2 weeks into my purchase I realized that in the front of the car, on both sides of the pretty silver grill, are pit marks that have rusted over- there are about 10 of them on either side- over the past 4 weeks i see 3 new pit marks-(not yest rusted) it seems to me that they must have forgot a painting step in this area of the car in muanufactuing - I called Infinity claims and they said the car requires special care when pit marks occur and this would not be covered under any type of warrany- Does this make sense? The car is not 1 year old and has 12K on it- I have never had a car that rusted from pit marks (previous Saab and Mercedes owner) . Does anyone have any suggestions how to deal with Infinity or to correct the problem? Much Thanks!!!

I just purchased a used '99 I30T automatic with about 22K miles on it. I paid $18K for it. I loved it the day I test drove it. I do have a question as I am concerned if it is "normal" or not. When slowing down to make a turn and get down to less than 5 mph and then press on the accelerator, it doesn't downshift to first unless I press harder on the accelerator. Is this normal. Also, I am getting terrible gas mileage. Edmunds says that the EPA fuel economy on the I30 is 21 MPG city - I am getting 20 MPG in all around driving (surburban). One more thing: I have seen several reported 0-60 times for this car. From 6.6 (Edmunds) to 9.1 (Cars.com). I would believe low to mid 7's from my experience. Glad to be a fellow Infiniti owner. Thanks in advance for the replies! Replies to this message: amandash (Jun 22, 2005 7:23 am)
#8 of 559 air cond question by wain Jan 16, 2002 (5:56 pm)
99 I 30   is there any way to have the recirc function always be "on" after startup?   It defaults to outside air and you have to push the button each time!!!

Wain-This is no way to around it. We all have to live with it.   Funclc-This is the infamous Nissan's paint problem. That's why I brought a car bra for my hood. My car is Midnight Blue. I just need to take off the car bra once a week.

#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
