2001 INFINITI I30 Complaints

2001 INFINITI I30. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS ON ALL 2K AND UP MODELS, INCLUDING I35. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL FAN (I.E. FAN THAT BLOWS HEATED AND AC COOLED AIR INTO THE CABIN) MAKES A ANNOYING BUZZING NOISE WHEN THE FAN IS ON LOW. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND THE DEALER WILL FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

WHEN I AM IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AFTER 30-45 MINUTES OF TIME THE ENGINE IDLES VERY FAST. I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE VERY HARD TO KEEP VEHICLE STOPPED. WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE ENGINE RPM READS 1100 (IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT OCCURRING IT IS USUALLY 750 RPM IN IDLE OR WHEN STOPPED) WITHOUT PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CARS DRIVES AT 30 MPH (ALMOST AS IF IT IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ENGAGED) WHEN THIS IS OCCURRING AND I COME TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK THE ENGINE RACES TO 3000 RPM AND SEEMS STUCK AT THAT LEVEL. I RECENTLY SERVICED THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THROTTLE BOX CLEANING BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE "COMPUTER" DOES NOT SHOW A TROUBLE CODE. THEY RECOMMEND THAT I BRING IT IN WHEN IT IS OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM IS NOT COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE AND WHEN IT DOES OCCUR IT IS USUALLY IN THE 5:00-7:00 PM DRIVE TIME, THE DEALER IS CLOSED. I HAVE ASKED THEN TO ALSO LOOK AT THE THROTTLE SENSOR WHICH THEY SAY THEY WILL. I FEEL THAT THE SITUATION COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS A SENSE THAT I AM NOT IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURS. THANK YOU. *NLM

THERE IS VIBRATION AND A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. IT IS HARD TO STEER STRAIGHT ON ROAD. *AK 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. *JG

REAR SUSPENSION BANGS AND BOTTOMS OUT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE HITS A HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. IT ALSO BOTTOMS OUTWITH ANY AMOUNT OF WEIGHT IN THE REAR SEAT. INFINITY INSTALLED THE I30T MODEL SPRINGS AND STRUTS WHEN I COMPLAINED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AS BEFORE.IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING ON WOODEN WHEELS WHEN YOU GO OVER A BUMP OR HIT A HOLE. INFINITI ADMITTED THE CHANGED THE REAR SUSPENSION ON THIS 2001 MODEL YEAR. ITS THE WORST RIDING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED..I AM EXERCISING MY RIGHTS UNDER THE STATE LEMON LAW SINCE INFINITY HAS SAID THAT THE VEHICK IS FIN. HA HA. *AK
