2001 Infiniti I30 suspension problems

Filed Dec 31, 2021 · Brakes, Electrical · MN

In the last 2 months I have had the front passenger tire blow out 3 times. After this last tire repair the car started to shake, vibrate and make a knocking noise while driving. When driving faster the steering wheel would jerk me almost offthe road. It was so bad I pulled over and when I looked at the front passenger tire it was smoking and sitting sideways. I had to get my vehicle towed and now I have no way to work. I have included an estimate of the repairs as well as a written warranty that was given to the previous owner. I was told this was no longer valid since I am not the original owner of the vehicle. The way the steering jerked and how the tire went sideways I feel that is a safety issue.

There is vibration and a clunking noise when turning. It is hard to steer straight on road. The rear suspension including it's parts have failed making it impossible to properly align the vehicle. This has caused the front suspension to degenerate considerably causing persistant vibration and a clunking noise. This also creates a problem with the steering. It cannot be properly centered. The right rear severly under steers. There is a defective transverse link, springs and struts and a defective rack and pinion.

I was driving along the middle lane in heavy traffic. At the intersection with traffic lights, the lane was stuck in front of me and there was no space to go. In order not to block the intersection, I had to slow down and stop at the traffic lights. While I was waiting at the lights, after 10 seconds the other car came closer without slowing down and hit my car from the behind. I was rear-ended on that incident.

These tires hit hard on bumps. Also when breaking tires do not stop correctly the track light comes on in the car. Every week I have to put air in them also I notice when going at a speed over 55 you can feel vibrations on steering wheel.I am tired of worrying everyday to put air in the tires so I don't get stuck now I have to go and buy new tires I just think that cooper tires should reimburse people for the cost.
