I have owned my 1999 Infiniti I30 for three years now and it has been an exceptional car! But it has always had a minor eccentricity that I would love to fix. Any suggestions? -- This seems to happen mostly at lower speeds - let's say between 25 and 50mph. When I am cruising along at a steady speed and let off on the gas, there is an abrupt deceleration similar to what you would experience in a standard transmission car. This is an automatic, of course, and typically an automatic kind of "coasts" under these circumstances. I do not have it in the sport mode, as a matter of fact, it seems to do this less in the sport mode! Anyway, this is a minor thing, but I would sure love to cure this problem. I have driven several other I30's and Maxima's with this same engine and none of them do this, so I know there must be an adjustment or part replacement that would make this wonderful car 100% instead of 99%! Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Hi I am planning in buying a I30 (2000-2001). Have a few Questions.. (1). Does I30 require Premium Gas? (2). Reliability from JD Powers Looks Next to Great -- Is that True? (3). Also equivalently equiiped Maxima's are costing more than I30 -- Any reason as to why? (I thought Both the Maxima and I30 Have the same basic structure-- Is this true?) (4). Whats the avg gas mileage for a I30? Thanks for your help1

| My check engine light comes on and gives me a P0420 reading from a OBDII scanner. I've found out It's either the catalytic converter or the rear O2 sensor. The only way i know how to check the o2 sensor is to check the voltage going through the sensor. i don't believe you can check the voltage at the sensor location. Does anybody have any information on this. I really want to avoid taking it to the dealer.(One can never trust those guys). | |

i have a 2000 I 30 which has been fairly trouble free till now. recently the drivers power seat stopped moving backward and forward. the up and down controls still work. i found on the internet that there is a technical service bulletin for this problem, that the power seat motor needs to be replaced. this is estimated to cost $700 +tax. as the vehicle is out of warranty, i will have to pay. my question is this: as this is a problem that they apparently know about that occurs in only 2 model years o f this vehicle, what are my chances of getting infiniti to pay for this repair. infinitisemal??

I have a 2000 I30T that is now over the 80,000Km waranty period. I recently experienced a problem where the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. The dealer determined that it needed new "coils" for each cylinder and a new "air flow meter" (or something like that). The repair cost was over $2000.00, but fortunately, the dealer discovered that Nissan had extended the waranty on this work, as it was a known defect of the I30. The repairs were done at no charge. Does anyone know how to determine if there are any other warranty "exceptions" that I should be aware of? |
