What owners report
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 I was told this was no longer valid since I am not the original owner of the vehicle.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 safe
I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A REGULAR SMOG CHECK, AND THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THERE IS 1 OPEN RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH INFINITI OF ROSEVILLE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU, A SMELL EMITTED THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING.

THE DRIVER GOT OUT OF THE LINE AND CHECKED THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WHERE SHE SAW FLAMES COMING THE ENGINE.

NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AT THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT AND FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED DUE TO THE EXPLOSION AND WAS TOWE
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.
TAKATA RECALL FOR FRONT SUSPENSION TRANSVERSE LINK. I THINK THIS VEHICLE BELONGS IN THE LIST AND OF THE I30T 2001 INFINITI AND SO DOES THE MECHANIC THAT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE
