What 1994 Infiniti J30 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving on the freeway at approximately 65 MPH, the driver side airbag unexpectedly deployed. I was able to get the car under control and safely pull over to the side of the road. I sustained scrapes and bruises on my left forearm. Other passengers (1 adult in the passenger seat and a child in a child seat in the back seat were uninjured). Several months prior to this incident the air bag warning light had permanently illuminated. The car was taken to the dealership for service, at which time the mechanic advised that there was a problem in the deployment system and that, if not fixed, the airbags would not deploy even in an accident. Due to the cost of the repair, it was decided not to repair the air bag system at the time.
When hit at 65mph in the front center of the vehicle the air bag did not deploy causing minor injuries to the consumer. Dealer notified. Ts
Air bag deployed on moderate impact collision. Right eye seriously injured by air bag. Surgery was required for injury to right eye. Injury caused significant damage to nerves in the eye. Doctor said I can no longer have corrective eye surgery in the future and I will develop cataract because of the damage to the right eye. Dt
Car at first was difficult to start... Ultimately after some four to five incideents it failed to start and had to be towed to a repair site.. Emission system and starting have beecome constant problems.
Possible torque converter failure leading to engine overrevving, making it difficult to hold a cruising speed. Requires replacement of transmission assembly at a cost of $3,600 for remanufactured part. Failure at only 76k miles seems premature.
Vehicle suddenly accelerated above 50 MPH. Consumer ran through a car wash parking lot before bringing the vehicle to an holt, the vehicel was stopped with the brakes. The dealer has been contacted.
I had a accident on the interstate and ended up crashing into a utility pole at no time did my airbags deploy. I have been without a vehicle for a month and I cannot believe with that much front end damage the air bags did not deploy. My vehicle is at brown brothers collision center and will be there for another two weeks.
When coming to a red light consumer smelled something and noticed smoke coming out of the dashboard. Consumer had to pull over. Fire department came out and put the fire out. Fire was caused by electrical wires overheating. Dealer was aware of the problem.
Possible odometer fraud.
