Did you recently take on (or consider) a loan of 84 months or longer on a car purchase?

Anyway, carry on - the I30 and the I35 are what we're talking about here! :-)
I have 113,000 miles on my car and it looks and drives like the first day I bought it...thanks all!
Thanks!
:confuse:
My back seats do not split.
98k miles in 11 years - still runs great.
Thinking about a new Infiniti soon....don't need a race car but wondering about experiences with the newer models....
If you check out this site, you can get a maintenance schedule, just pick which year you have and it will give you a complete list of what should be replaced/inspected!

I avoid going to a dealer like the plague. If I have to go in, I want to know in advance exactly what must be done.
There is a TSB 614043 for this problem on the '99 I30 but I couldn't find any details on what the solution is. I could only find that the problem exists and what the number is. Does the TSB describe what the fix it, and if so, does anyone know how I can get that information short of going to my dealer?
"Prior to beginning repair, ensure that the customer understands that after the repair, they will be unable to open the trunk with the door mounted trunk switch or remote key fob when the transmission selector is in 'Drive'."
Incidentally, 614043 is NHTSA's number; Infiniti calls it ITB 00-048a. And it applies only to I30s through 1999, not to 2000 and after.
If you look on both rear doors, you will see the power window switch, and then right above that there will be a switch for the heated rear seats.
In retrospect, I should have bought the Heated Front and Rear Seats (aka the Cold Weather Package) when I bought my I35... Would have gotten the heated steering wheel too...
A mechanic at Infiniti has admitted to there being a problem with the factory bose stereos, and that they start to skip to the point where they won't even play AT ALL....people are constantly bringing their cars in to get the stereo fixed. If there is such an issue with these systems, why aren't they recalled?
Is anyone else having problems with their Bose player skipping?
Is there any solution to this Bose disaster?
I am very disappointed in Bose. I can't believe they would actually put their name on something like this and not offer to fix it. As much money as they charge for their systems, it should only be expected that they should work properly. :confuse:
Ok thanks for letting me vent!!
Thanks
:lemon:
Also, my driver side headlight (Xenon) is out but the bulb is still good. Any electrical system issues?
I noticed someone said something about a defective sunroof. Mine won't do the express open and won't close/seat on it's own. When the battery is disconnected and reconnected and everything is reset, it works correctly for a while. Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks for the help!
Rob
Thanks :
I'm also going to try to contact BOSE about this. Perhaps with enough consumer interest, they or Infiniti will work to resolve the problem.
The only skips I have encountered on my 2000 I30 were from CD-Rs of perhaps questionable provenance; commercially-produced discs work just fine. (So far.) After consulting some tech types, I believe that even the CD-R issues can be mostly avoided by (1) burning at slower speeds and (2) sticking to 74-minute (650 mb) discs, which are easier to track than the ubiquitous 80-minute discs.
I read your post with regards to the buzzing sound. I am having the exact problem with my 2003 I35. I was wondering if you were able to determine problem and if you could share the solution
Regards,
Rick.
This turned out to be a problem with the Electronic Motor Mounts - which one of the other guys had suggested to me.........
If you disco the battery for a bit and reconnect - the noise should go away
But - the next time you hit the gas hard - the problem will return
I got the parts from Infinity and had my local guy do the work - less labor but the parts were 400. There was a service bulletin for my car on this problem.
Hope this helps - GUS
Also does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions that I should know or consider for this vehicle. Thanks to all replies
I have a feeling that it may be related to the fuel pump, but every mechanic I take it to says the fuel pump seems to be working fine. I changed the fuel filter and still nothing.
If anyone has any advise, please feel free to respond...
question regarding brakes. i bought my front disk plus pads less then a year ago and now are worn out. was told that i need to buy new ones..Im sure they are in warranty but i dont want to have them anymore because unfortunately this disks are made in China and i didnt have a choice at that time.
So back to my question, what is the OEM brakes for the inifini i30 or which brakes (disk + pads ) should i get?
thanks guys,.. or girls :confuse:
If there are differences, what are they?
And which would car (I30 or Maxima) be preferable, given all things being equal like year and mileage? I am thinking about both reliability and cost to own (repair, insurance, gas).
I would appreciate any and all help or comments or I'm unloading this turkey even tho' everything else is GREAT! 1jazmin
