2000 Infiniti I30 Complaints

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...

2000 INFINITY I30T : FROM FORUMS ON INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON THIS MODEL. THERE IS A CODE P0420 THAT INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE BANK 1 CATALYTIC CONVERTER. INFINITY STATES THAT BECAUSE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS ENCLOSED IN A "FRONT TUBE ASSEMBLY", IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 80,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR CAT, O2 SENSORS, MASS AIR SENSOR AND ENGINE COILS. THE P0420 CODE WAS ALSO WORKED ON BEFORE WE OWNED THE CAR AT 29,000 MILES. *NM

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS WHEN STOPPING, USUALLY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. FOR THE FIRST THREE INCIDENTS JUST STOMPING ON THE BRAKE SUFFICED TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP RACING. THE LAST TWO INCIDENTS, IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, WERE (1) IN A PARKING LOT WHEN GOING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE TO DRIVE TO MANEUVER INTO A PARKING SPOT AND (2) AT A STOP LIGHT. IN THE PARKING LOT, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON STOPPED THE RACING. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS THE MOST SERIOUS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED ~15 SECONDS, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ENGINE RACED AGAIN. TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE, ALL WAS OK. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THESE FAILURES. *NM
