infiniti I30 power seat problem by pvellozo
Sep 06, 2005 (5:41 pm)
Reply
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.

I have a 2001 I-30 at the dealer today with the exact same problem. I bought it certified used from authorized dealer and although I am outside the original 60K warranty; the cert used warranty added 12 months and 12K miles to the original warranty. They still say its not covered!
 
I ended the day by calling Infiniti consumer affairs. They will call the dealer tomorrow.
 
Where did you find the TSB?
 
Good luck

I30 Warranty Extensions from Nissan by bobbee53

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?

the details of the tsb are as follows: maybe you can google it.
 
classification:
EL02-023
 
reference:
ITB00-067a
 
2001-2001 I30 and 2002 I35; drivers seat will not move forward or backward
 
Date June 4, 2002
 
Applied vehicles:
2000-2001 I30 (CA##)
2002 I35 (CA33)
 
at this point i have spoken to the dealer and consumer affairs, both say they will not help.
 
i am interested to find out if this is a repair that can be done at a non-dealer shop, to minimize the cost , which the dealer quoted me as being over $700, not includung tax. any suggestions will be appreciated.
 
good luck.

I am not sure if you have already made your final decision on getting your I30 or not, but I have an answer to all of your questions.
1. the I30 does not require premium, however, the I35 does.
2. Reliability is great. It is a bulletproof car.
3. luxury cars tend to have a faster depretiation rate than "normal" cars, just because that is how it is. The Maxima and I30 share the same chasis and basic parts with eachother up until the bodystyle change in 2000. The engine parts are all still the same, with very minor differences.
4. Avg gas mileage, depending on how you drive is somewhere around 23/30 city/hwy. It could be better or worse, depending on how you drive.

Must be a plague of these problems going around as our I30 driver's side seat front/back motion failed Tuesday night. If anyone hear's of a way to resolve this problem less expensively, I'd sure appreciate a post.

I have a 2000 i30t and my mechanic determined that i needed new coils as well. I went to the dealer and they wanted about $1000 for the job and told me that because my warranty ended about 2 years ago, I had to pay. Is there a number or contact that I can call to find this extended warranty by Nissan because my dealer didn't seem to know anything about it.

Same problem. Up Down and Back tilting work. Forward and back won't work. They did twice for about a 1/4 inch each time in the last month.
 
I was told $450 to fix it. But who knows maybe it will end up being $700.
 
Not thrilled with this as I know from records the previous did it once too.

I had the same problem with my 2001 I30 and Infiniti paid all but $163. They called it a good-will repair. I didn't think that I should pay any, since this is a documented Infiniti problem...but what do I know?
