2001 Infiniti I30 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 INFINITI I30. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE INSPECTING THE RADIATOR, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRAME BY THE LOWER TIE BAR WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE ENTIRE TIE BAR AND RE-WELDED IT TO THE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

2001 INFINTI 115000 MILES LOWER CENTER OF RADIATOR SUPPORT WHERE MOTOR MOUNT IS LOCATED BECAME ROTTED OUT WITH RUST. I NOTICED IT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND WIRE BRUSHED THE RUST AWAY AND PAINTED IT WITH RUST STOPPING PAINT BUT IT HAS ONLY CONTINUED TO RUST AND ROT. WHEN I SEARCH THE INTERNET I VIEWED MANY PICTURES FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

THE DASH SIGNAL FOR THE AIR BAG COMES ON DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAVE PUT THE HARNESS ON AND CONTINUES TO FLASH EVEN AFTER YOU START DRIVING UNTIL YOU END YOUR TRIP! IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE HARNESS IS NOT SET!!

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN AN ONCOMING VEHICLE HIT MY CAR. IT IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING OR IDLING. STALLED AT 15 MPH IN A TRAFFIC CIRCLE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING. WIFE WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO RESTART. STALLS AT IDLE WHEN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 I30. THE PROBLEM IS THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE (IAC), THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM), AND THE ELECTRIC MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH SHORT OUT CAUSING THE IAC TO SHORTOUT WHICH CAUSES THE ECM TO SHORTOUT. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND STILL EXPECTS THE OWNERS TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THIS PROBLEM IS TALKED ABOUT ALL OVER THE INTERNET BY OWNERS OF THESE I30 AND MAXIMAS. *TR
