Faults:

The trouble I'm having is with the blinking air bag light. I used the reset fixed from February 17 2006 and it worked. Other than that, the car has been pretty reliable.

General Comments:

The 1999 Infiniti I30 that I own is not the most exciting car on the market, but it has all the bells and whistles, and gets decent gas mileage and is very dependable.

Good owners manual, which helps with basic maintenance.

Faults:

Mass air flow sensor at approximately 105,000 miles.

One oxygen sensor (can't remember when it was replaced).

Other than oil and tires, it's been a great car!

General Comments:

It's been a great car. Exactly what I hoped for when I decided to purchase an Infiniti.

Faults:

When my 1999 I30t had about 70K miles, the service engine soon light came on -- and is still on at 177K. No performance issues were experienced, so I figured it was probably a sensor. Occasionally, the light would go off but come on again within a day. I ignore it. Now the air bag light flashes. I do not plan to replace the air bag due to cost because it is 10 years old and still runs great -- other than normal wear and tear.

General Comments:

Car handles well.

Gets good gas mileage.

Normal wear and tear only.

Interior looks great after 177K miles.

Faults:

Coils have gone bad on three different occasions.

Transmission had a slight leak.

General Comments:

Car is ten years old and still runs strong.

Car parts are very expensive and I have fixed a lot, but nothing has ever led me to break down or make a major repair.

Car is very reliable.

Handles very well on open road, but not in the snow.

The older Infinities are much better built than the new ones.

Airbag Sensor Light

Thank you. I was able to follow the quick-fix to reset the air-bag blinking light problem. I got out of paying for only the diagnostics charge $100, at the dealership. The cost was $675. After reading and following the procedure, I saved $575.

While the car is off, open the door, and turn the key to the on position and press the door side switch at LEAST 7 times.

- After doing that, wait one second.

- Close the door, move the key back to the LOCK position and then start the engine.

If this doesn't work for you, scroll down to another testimony, and perhaps that procedure will work for you.

Faults:

1. Ignition coils have repeatedly failed.

2. EGR valves fail excessively.

3. Now all the dash LEDS (radio, OAT gauge) are going out.

General Comments:

1. Car looks stylish even at 8 years old

2. Handles very well.

3. Rides well.

4. Looks and feels like a luxury car.

Faults:

It's been basically carefree driving up until the 100k mark - just oil changes, battery & brakes & tires. We've replaced the oxygen sensor and radiator recently.

General Comments:

There has not been one day that the car has not been driven since we've owned it. I wish we could buy a new Infiniti (too expensive right now). It has been a great car considering the miles we have put on it. It is comfortable and handles like a dream.

Faults:

At around 68,000 miles, engine light indicated faulty ignition coils.

I appealed to Infiniti since the car was out of warranty and they paid for the entire $800 repair.

The leather center arm rest wore out; same as customer care as above.

Dealer charged me (in my opinion) too much for complete brake job and 75K service.

At 90,000 miles, I decided to seek other service alternatives rather than dealer.

So far, it appears to me a good decision.

Some minor electrical problems; all resolved quickly.

General Comments:

This is my second new Infiniti with a 5 speed.

First was a '92 G20 which I maintained purely with the dealer and sold @ 120,000 miles with all records. The buyer I heard loved the car, as I did.

I plan on keeping this one at least until 125,000 miles if not longer. I keep my cars well maintained, but the 5-speed in an I30 is VERY rare, so resale will be slim.

Still though, I like the "cache" more than it's twin Maxima and you can't bet the brand for customer service and reliability.
