VEHICLE: 2000 INFINITI I30T HAS A RECURRING ENGINE CODE P0420 SINCE 74,000 MILES. FOUND OUT RECENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. REFERENCE #ITB00-054A. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM INFINITI CORP. ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT OCCURRED ON JUNE 7, 2004. IT IS WRONG FOR INFINITI NOT TO NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NO DRIVABILITY PROBLEM, BUT I WILL NOT PASS CALIFORNIA SMOG TEST IF THE ENGINE COME ON DURING THIS TIME. INFINITI CORPORATION SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING ANY LABOR OR PARTS. PARTS ARE @ LEAST $800.00 WITHOUT LABOR!!! *TR

WITH DTC P1320 AND OR SPARK KNOCK DETONATION DUE TO IGNITION COIL S SUBSTITUTION OF THE COMPUTER WOULD BE A GOOD DIAGNOSTIC TOOL UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE THE PROGRAMMING IS SPECIFIC TO EACH ENGINE TRANSMISSION COMBINATION AND BECAUSE IT A PRICEY ELECTRICAL PART THIS IS JUST NOT DONE. SO THEY WILL CHECK ON A DVM OR SCOPE AT THE LEADS OF BOTH SENSORS MENTIONED TO SEE IF EVERYTHING IS ON THE UP AND UP FROM THE COMPUTER. IF SO, REPLACING THE SENSORS WOULD BE THE LIKELY NEXT STEP.

2000 INFINITI I30 SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME ON. DEALER DIAGNOSED AND CONCLUDED THAT THE IGNITION COILS WENT BAD AND NEED TO REPLACE ALL 6 OF THEM. THE CAR HAD ONLY 31753 MILES ON IT. CONSIDERING THE LOW MILEAGE, IT IS TOO EARLY FOR THE COILS TO GO BAD. DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY WAS STILL VALID) AND HAD TO PAY 1000 DOLLARS FOR THE JOB. *JB

Mileage: 31,726

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS ON THE WAY HOME TRAVELING 45 MPH. BEFORE THE CONSUMER COULD GET OFF THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK WHILE DRIVING WITH HEADLINGS AND AIR CONDITIONING ON, THE BATTERY AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ONTHE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED ON THEN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. DEALER FOUND DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR. *TT *JB

Mileage: 29,800

DRIVING HOME VEHICLE QUIT IN TRAFFIC. AFTER SITTING FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR, VEHICLE STARTED AND WE MADE IT HOME. AFTER HAVING VEHICLE CHECKED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED/REBUILT. DIAGNOSIS DONE BY A LOCAL MECHANIC. IT WAS REBUILT. VEHICLE RAN WELL UNTIL THE 28 APRIL 2005 WHEN THE SAME THING OCCURRED; THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RUN AFTER A BOOST. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE A 'REMANUFACTURED' ALTERNATOR WAS INSTALLED, AT A COST OF $850.00. THE BELTS AND A BATTERY CABLE WAS ALSO REPLACED AT THIS VISIT. MY CONCERN STEMS FROM SEEING THERE WAS A RECALL OF 97/98 INFINITY I-30'S, AND SO LEADS ME TO SURMISE THAT A PROBLEM MAY STILL EXIST WITH THE ALTERNATORS ON OTHER YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER KEPT THE OLD PART.

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE VEHICLE IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO READ IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND BECOMES A BLACK HOLE WHEN TRYING TO LOOK AT IT WITH SUNGLASSES ON. *YH *TT THE PARTS DEPARTMENT MANAGER DETERMINED THAT A CLEAR DASHBOARD COVER COULD BE INSTALLED AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *NM
