#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
#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
