I HAVE A WELL MAINTAINED 2000 INFINITI I30 WITH 168,000 MILES . THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. APPROXIMATELY 2009 THE LOWER RADIATOR SUPPORT (FRONT CROSS FRAME TIE BAR) STARTED TO RUST NEAR THE CENTER OF THIS BOXED FRAME MEMBER. PORTIONS OF THE TOP AND FRONT SIDE OF THIS FRAME MEMBER RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY SOME TIME IN 2011. THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM AND HORN ARE FASTENED TO A VERTICAL STEEL SUPPORT THAT IS BOLTED TO THE FRONT OF THIS FRAME MEMBER, JUST LEFT OF THE RUST PERFORATION. I INTEND TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR MANY MORE YEARS AS WE HAVE IN THE PAST WITH SEVERAL OTHER CARS IF THIS DOES NOT BECOME A SAFETY PROBLEM, . I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE FRONT FRAME TIE BAR REPAIRED IF POSSIBLE TO AVOID FUTURE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS (IE. HOOD POPPING OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND/OR UNSTABLE FRONT END CONTROL). THIS RUST PERFORATION MORE THAN LIKELY LESSENS THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE CAR IN A FRONT END COLLISION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDELY KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM ON VARIOUS NISSAN AUTOS. EVEN IF NISSAN IS NOT REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE AUTOS FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR, THEY SHOULD AT LEAST NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES AND POSSIBLE MECHANICAL FIXES THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY THE OWNER. *TR

PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. HAD TO BACK UP TO GET ALIGNED. VEHICLE WAS FULLY STOPPED WITH THE RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. SHIFTED FROM R THROUGH N TO D. VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AT VERY HIGH RPMS. RIGHT FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. PUT HEAVY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED TO N AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE OVER THE CURB AND ABOUT 3 FT ONTO THE SIDEWALK. TOTAL DISTANCE MOVED, APPROX 6 FT. PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE AND PARKED. DROVE HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND THE COMPUTER RECORDED NO INCIDENT. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO INFINITI HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ARE TO FOLLOWUP. I CONSIDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FULLY RESOLVED. *TR

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AT NIGHT AND USING THE TURN SIGNAL, WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL CANCELS AFTER A TURN, THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF BRIEFLY THEN COME BACK ON. AN ONLINE SEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE 2000-2003 NISSAN MAXIMA AND INFINITI I30 IS AFFECTED BY THIS. *TR

WHILE WORKING UNDER MY CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE UNDER THE RADIATOR IS RUSTING BADLY AND CAN BE MOVED BY HAND. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CAME ACROSS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME MODEL OF NISSAN INFINITI. I FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, THE COMPANY SHOULD WARN OWNERS AND RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. THIS IS PREMATURE RUSTING AND APPEARS TO BE VITAL TO THE ENGINE STABILITY AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION BUT I THINK THAT IS WHAT I HEAR RATTLING WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPS.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE HOOD. THE MECHANIC LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM BELTS BECAUSE THE SUPPORT BAR THAT HOLD THE ENGINE WAS SAGGING. THIS IS CALLED THE CROSS MEMBER. I LEARNED THAT THE CROSS MEMBER HAD RUSTED PREMATURELY. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH EVERY I30 MODEL. INFINITI NEEDS TO HAVE THESE SUPPORT BARS REPLACED BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. PS. CROSS MEMBERS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF A CAR BEING THAT THIS IS WHAT HOLDS THE ENGINE IN PLACE, NOT RUST PREMATURELY.

DRIVE TO GAS STATION A MILE AWAY WAS A DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE, THE ISSUE I THOUGHT WAS A TIRE BLOWN OUT HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LOCAL POLICE OFFICER UPON OCCURRENCE AND DETERMINED IT IS SUSPENSION DEFECT. RIGHT REAR AXLE IS WHERE THE LOUD GRINDING STARTED

DEAR NHTSA: I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TIRE : BRIDGESTONE RE 92 225/50VR17. THESE TIRES ARE ORIGINAL TIRES FROM MY VEHICLE: 2000 INFINITI I30I HERE IS MY COMPLIANT: ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO I DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT THAT ONE OF MY TIRE HAD A TIRE TREAD SEPARATION. BRIDGESTONE WAS AT THE TIME KIND ENOUGH TO REPLACE THAT TIRE FOR FREE. HOWEVER, NOW I FIND OUT THE OTHER 3 TIRES ARE DOING THE SAME THING. I TRIED CALLING THE FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE CORPORATION, BUT MANAGER (NAME ROGER FROM PORTLAND. OR) SAID THESE TIRES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE TIRES. THESE TIRES WERE NEVER ABUSED IN ANYWAY. THE CAR IS ALWAYS PARK IN THE GARAGE WHEN POSSIBLE. NO ALIGNMENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. YES, I KNOW THESE TIRES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AFTER 5 YEARS, BUT THESE TIRES SHOULDN'T SEPARATE WHEN THERE ARE SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TREAD LEFT. IN ADDITION, THESE TIRES ARE CONSIDERED HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES COSTING ABOUT $175 PER TIRE. PLEASE FIND OUT IF OTHER VEHICLES WITH THESE TIRES HAD A BLOWOUT. THANK YOU. SINCERELY, MICHAEL *TR

GOOD WILL REGIONAL SERVICE MGR. OFFERED ONLY THE $650; THAT IT WAS MY FAULT NOT HAVING BEEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO BROUGHT IT IN REGULARLY FOR SERVICE WITH A DEALERSHIP AND THAT OUTSIDE SHOP RECOMMENDATION WAS A "KISS OF DEATH" FOR ANY DEALERSHIP. DO THEY NOT STAND BY THEIR SERVICE BULLETINS? IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T CHECK IT WHEN CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW I PAY BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY? IS THIS FAIR. OH, BUT THEY WILL SELL, WHOLESALE TO THE "OUTSIDE SHOP" THE PART OR PARTS NEEDED, AT A LESSER AMOUNT. THAT SEEMS A BIT INCONSISTENT WITH THEIR REASONING, DOESN'T IT? IT WAS ME, THE CONSUMER, WHO FOUND AND BROUGHT TO THE PASSPORT INFINITI SVC MGR THE SERVICE BULLETIN ITB00-028B TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM.
