ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, AND HAD BEEN STILL FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. WE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND WHEN WE OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE ALTERNATOR STARTED A FIRE INTERNALLY. IT WAS PURE LUCK THE CAR DIDN'T BURN COMPLETELY. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR 1998 INFINITI I30S, BUT BECAUSE THE VIN DOESN'T FALL INTO THE RECALL GROUP, THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT UNLESS I COME WITH $510. THE CAR IS A 1998 I30 INFINITI WITH THE VIN [XXX].*AK UPDATED 07/24/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK
SINCE I BOUGHT MY 1998 INFINITI I30T, I'VE REPORTED TO THE DEALER (SANTA MONICA INFINITI - PURCHASED FROM AND PEYTON CRAMER INFINITI - RECENT SERVICES) THAT THE TRUNK RELEASE IS DEFECTIVE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. THEY AGREE THAT A PROBLEM EXIST, BUT WILL NOT PERFORM THE REPAIRS FOR FREE, SINCE IT IS NOT A RECALL ITEM, YET. IT OPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND RANDOMLY. IT POPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN CAUSE ITEMS TO POSSIBLY FALL OUT OF THE TRUNK. I'VE FOUND IT OPEN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE PARKED FOR A FEW MINUTES OF FOR A FEW HOURS. I'VE LOST 2 TENNIS RACQUETS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS MORNING, I FOUND THE TRUNK ONCE AGAIN OPEN. FORTUNATELY, MY LAPTOP AND OTHER BAGS WERE UNTOUCHED. PLEASE HAVE THIS ITEM RECALLED. THANK YOU. *NM

AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR DAY, NO WET ROAD, ETC., ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2004, MY 1996 INFINITI I30 MYSTERIOUSLY WENT OUT OF CONTROL, WENT INTO A SLIDE, CROSSED A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, WENT DOWN AN ENBANKMENT, FLIPPED OVER, AND CRASHED TOP-FIRST INTO A TREE; DRIVING THE ROOF INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DID EMPOLY. THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER DID NOT ISSUE A CITATION SINCE HE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE FOR THE CAR GOING OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS CHECKED FOR SOBRIETY, ETC. AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I WAS NOT IMPAIRED. ALL TIRES WERE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, THERE WAS NOT A TIRE BLOWOUT. THE FRONT WAS ALIGNED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE TIRES WERE RECENTLY ROTATED AND BALANCED. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THE TIRE HAD A SLIGHT INDENTATION DUE TO POSSIBLY HITTING A SIDE WALK CURVE.*AK

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. WHEN I WOULD GO INTO THE DEALER, THEY WOULD INFORM ME THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE I DID NOT CLOSE THE GAS TANK TIGHT ENOUGH. AFTER I WAS TOLD THIS, I MADE SURE TO CLOSE THE GAS TANK TIGHTLY. THE LIGHT STILL CONTINUED TO COME ON. NOW THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ABOUT $1,500 TO FIX THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM. I THINK THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED EARLY ON, BUT THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

SERVICE ENGINE SOON (LIGHT) CAME ON. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID "THE ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED". THIS IS A COST TO ME FOR $112. WHY SHOULD CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO INCUR THE COST OF REPAIR. NOTHING IS BROKEN AND NOTHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THE SOFTWARE WILL GET RID OF THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WILL ALLOW THE CAR OWNER TO SEE ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS (I.E. WHAT IF THE SOFTWARE IS NOT UPGRADED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DRIVER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISCERN ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN, SUCH AS A LEAKY GAS LINE WHICH WOULD BE VERY SERIOUS). INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID THERE IS NO TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND NO RECALL ISSUED ON THIS DEFECT.
