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. |

| have 19000 on a 2000 i30. hit the brakes at 70mph and the car shudders like pads are glazed. any comments | |

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? |

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. |

| 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 | |

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 |

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.

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. |
