1999 Infiniti I30 problems

Filed Jan 9, 2023 · Airbags · CA

The ‘Air Bag’ light stays on at all times. Its been like this for over 10 years. I’ve called my local Infiniti dealer, they said they cannot replace the Takata airbag until the federal safety agency identifies this model in a national recall. I’m afraid the airbag may not properly deploy or deploy inadvertently, and cause serious injury or death of driver or occupants. Please do the right thing and add the 1999 Infiniti I-30 to recall list. Thanks 🙏🏼

2/21/21, turning on the ignition created a severely rough idle, the auto could not maintain "running status", a severe fuel odor ensued with blue-black smoke billowing out of the exhaust pipe. Towed to the nissan dealer in shingle springs, ca. Per the dealer evaluation: #2 fuel injector replacement and "o" rings. The mechanic found metal shavings on the fuel injector and it continued with blue-black smoke per the exhaust while running. May require new fuel sensor if this does not resolve. We purchase all our fuel from the folsom, ca. Sams club. 2/11/14 was the date of the last gas purchase. 2/20/14 we attempted to purchase fuel for another vehicle but found the station closed during inspection by a company called tankology. Could there be a relationship with metal shavings in the fuel, consequently creating this break down? To date we have spent $624.00 in repairs, $150.00 in car rental. We would appreciate your evaluation and response. Thank you.

I took my well-maintained, garaged 1999 infiniti i30 to the mechanic after noticing the handling getting sloppy and severe inner tire wear. Upon inspection, he informed me that the front core support (the box beam frame member that extends the width of the car and supports the radiator) was rusted through. The corrosion is severe to the point that the sides of the beam are eaten away over 1/3 to 1/2 the length. In places, all that is left supporting the radiator is the top plate. The center support bar that holds the front end of the motor in place is supposed to be bolted to the bottom of the beam, but because of the corrosion, it is now hanging cantilevered. The car is not safe to drive with the motor inadequately supported. Relative to the rest of the car, the severe corrosion is localized to a 2-3 foot section of the frame (as if there is something causing the corrosion to accelerate in this particular area). Properly manufactured structural steel should not disintegrate like this.

Reclined drivers seat which activated "air bag" warning light continuously flashing. This is a serious safety flaw which needs to be fixed by the manufacturer. Unknown whether air bag still works and very bright flashing indicator causes serious distraction while driving especially at night. Numerous reports that this is a common problem on nissan maxima and infiniti i30.

I'm the second owner of a 1999 infiniti i30. I've been dealing with the airbag light several times. I'm concern that one day the will pop and hurt me or my family.

Car was driven short distance (approx. 2 miles), parked and turned off. Within 2-5 minutes I had to put something in car and noticed smoke flowing out of grill area, and popped the hood, and noticed orange flame in alternator. Fire dept. Was called to scene, and a report is available. At time of complaint, car is in shop w/ a private mechanic due to infiniti's refusal to assist in matter, and cost of repair is yet undetermined.

1999 infiniti i30 hood shocks failed almost slamming on consumer fingers. *ts the consumer contacted the manufacturer and asked them to send a replacement hood shock. The manufacturer refused to honor the consumers request because the hood shock on the consumer's vehicle was not recalled.
