AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AT 33,000. DIAGNOSIS: A BAD SENSOR FOR DRIVER'S SIDE BAG. EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER. THEY WANTED $700 TO FIX IT. TURNS OUT THERE IS A RESET METHOD THAT WILL TURN OFF THE LIGHT IF IT IS NOT DEFECTIVE, AND ONLY NEEDS TO BE RESET. THE DEALER DID NOT TRY THIS, OR OFFER TO DO SO. *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES REPEATEDLY. CAR HAS JUST TURNED OVER 40000 MILES. DEALERSHIP (CREST) IN PLANO CHARGES $130 JUST TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND DIAGNOSE. NEW SENSOR PLUS INSTALLATION COSTS $500. NOT WORTH THE COST ON A 1998 VEHICLE. COMPLAINED THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY/NISSAN ISSUE. COMPLAINTS WERE IGNORED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
2000 INFINITY I30T : FROM FORUMS ON INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON THIS MODEL. THERE IS A CODE P0420 THAT INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE BANK 1 CATALYTIC CONVERTER. INFINITY STATES THAT BECAUSE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS ENCLOSED IN A "FRONT TUBE ASSEMBLY", IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 80,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR CAT, O2 SENSORS, MASS AIR SENSOR AND ENGINE COILS. THE P0420 CODE WAS ALSO WORKED ON BEFORE WE OWNED THE CAR AT 29,000 MILES. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS WHEN STOPPING, USUALLY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. FOR THE FIRST THREE INCIDENTS JUST STOMPING ON THE BRAKE SUFFICED TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP RACING. THE LAST TWO INCIDENTS, IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, WERE (1) IN A PARKING LOT WHEN GOING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE TO DRIVE TO MANEUVER INTO A PARKING SPOT AND (2) AT A STOP LIGHT. IN THE PARKING LOT, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON STOPPED THE RACING. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS THE MOST SERIOUS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED ~15 SECONDS, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ENGINE RACED AGAIN. TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE, ALL WAS OK. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THESE FAILURES. *NM

AFTER 40-50 MILES OF DRIVING, VEHICLE (2001 INFINITI I30) SUDDENLY SHIFTS DOWN TO SECOND GEAR (SO CALLED "SAFE MODE") WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CAR WILL CONTINUE TO RUN IN SECOND GEAR AT 20-30 MPH WITH CORRESPONDING REVS OF 4000-5000 RPMS. IF VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND IGNITION TURNED OFF FOR 15 MIN OR SO, SITUATION MAY CORRECT ITSELF AND NORMAL OPERATION RESUMES. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE AIRBAGS ARE RENDERED USELESS FOR NO APPEARENT REASON OTHER THAN DEFECTIVE FROM THE MAKER. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 40,000 MILES WHEN THE DEFECT WAS FOUND BY DEALER. DEALER CLAIMED IT TO BE THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY AND COSTS. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY NISSAN. *JB

AIR BAGS, SEATS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT OF MY 1998 INFINITY I-30 BEGAN FLASHING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I NOTED TWO TSB CONCERNING A MANUFACTURER DEFECT RELATED TO THE SEAT HARNESS TRIGGERING THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN 1998/1999. I PROVIDED THE TSB TO MY LOCAL INFINITY DEALER IN ELK GROVE, CA WHO CHARGED ME $110 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECT. TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM, IT WILL COST OVER $800 AND THEY STATE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OWNER USE OR WEAR-AND-TEAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW THE IMPACTS PASSENGER SAFETY AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? THANKS. *JB
