AIR BAGS
The ‘Air Bag’ light stays on at all times. Its been like this for over 10 years. I’ve called my local Infiniti dealer, they said they cannot replace the Takata airbag until NHTSA identifies this model in a national recall. I’m afraid the airbag may not properly deploy or deploy inadvertently, and cause serious injury or death of driver or occupants. Please do the right thing and add the 1999 Infiniti I-30 to recall list. Thanks 🙏🏼

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
In the last 2 months I have had the front passenger tire blow out 3 times. After this last tire repair the car started to shake, vibrate and make a knocking noise while driving. When driving faster the steering wheel would jerk me almost offthe road. It was so bad I pulled over and when I looked at the front passenger tire it was smoking and sitting sideways. I had to get my vehicle towed and now I have no way to work. I have included an estimate of the repairs as well as a written warranty that was given to the previous owner. I was told this was no longer valid since I am not the original owner of the vehicle. The way the steering jerked and how the tire went sideways I feel that is a safety issue.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
THERE IS VIBRATION AND A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. IT IS HARD TO STEER STRAIGHT ON ROAD. 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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE WAS WARM AND RUNNING JUST FINE. THEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAR AT 40 MPH ENGINE BEGIN WILDLY REVVING THE RPMS WENT DIRECTLY HOME AND IN PARK IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. TURNED IT OFF CALLED A TOW TRUCK HAD IT TOWED IN TO LOCAL SHOP. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING A P0505 CODE. THE SHOP REPLACED THE IACM AND THEN THE ECU AT A COST OF OVER CAR WAS RETURNED SAME CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE MECHANIC SAID IT WOULD NOT RELEARN IDLE AND TO DRIVE IT AROUND AND SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP. I AM AN ELDERLY WOMAN AND I SPEND THE NEXT FEW DAYS RIDING THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR IN CONTROL. IDLE WAS RUNNING HIGH IN PARK AND DRIVE. I WAS BECOMING AFRAID OF THE CAR AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE INFINITI DEALER FOR REPAIRS. WITH SAME P0505 CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IN LESS THEN SEVEN DAYS THE IACM AND ECU ONCE AGAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT'S BECAUSE THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED AND SINCE THEY ARE FLUID FILLED THEY LEAKED CAUSING THE OTHER PARTS TO SHORT OUT. THE INFINITI DEALER SAID THE THREE PARTS ARE ALL ON THE SAME CIRCUIT BUT THIS IS ONLY KNOWN TO INFINITI MECHANICS. THE REPAIR IS NOW OVER $3000.00 PUS THE FIRST CHARGE. THIS IS WAY MORE THEN MY CAR VALUE. I RESEARCHED THIS CONDITION ON THE INTERNET. KIDS HAVE BEEN DRIVING THESE CARS WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS AT 80 MPH WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE. I NEVER WRITE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET BUT I AM CONCERNED THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A CRASH AND SOMEONE MAY BE SERIOUSLY HURT. CAR HAS 110000. MILES I WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET BUT I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE MIDDLE LANE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AT THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THE LANE WAS STUCK IN FRONT OF ME AND THERE WAS NO SPACE TO GO. IN ORDER NOT TO BLOCK THE INTERSECTION, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. WHILE I WAS WAITING AT THE LIGHTS, AFTER 10 SECONDS THE OTHER CAR CAME CLOSER WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN AND HIT MY CAR FROM THE BEHIND. I WAS REAR-ENDED ON THAT INCIDENT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
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.

"TAKATA RECALL".... I RECEIVED AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL BACK IN OCT 2013. I TOOK THE CAR TO KUNI WESTSIDE INIFINITI, LYNNWOOD, WA.... THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL WITH INFLATOR -AIR BAG, AS-K8E61-7994D. I AM UNAWARE AS TO WHICH AIR BAG WAS REPLACED. RECENTLY THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING.

THE DEALERSHIP IS APPROX 80 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. I AM 88 YRS OLD AND I HAVE YET TO TAKE IT IN.... WHAT IS THE "FLASHING LIGHT" TELLING ME???
