1998 Infiniti I30 review from North America
"Reliability is excellent, but the problems are too expensive and unresolvable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My biggest problem is the 02 sensors (b1s2), check engine light. I changed the required sensors and went to my local Infiniti dealer and bought a Evap Valve Canister. My local mechanic changed both, and I still have the same problem. I went to three different places to diagnose the problem, and they all told me the same sensors I needed to replace, but I still am having the same issue. It doesn't help that I have a reject sticker on my car, and I have to fight a ticket because of an issue I can't resolve.
I also have the same issue everyone else has when it comes to the blinking airbag light. I tried a few of the remedies and they haven't worked yet, so I guess I'm going to take that advice and write a letter to my local Infiniti dealership, since I am frustrated because I am scared to drive any more with a reject sticker and continue to jeopardize my points on my insurance and my license.
One thing I must say positive about this vehicle, is that other than these two issues, I absolutely love Nissans and Infiniti, and would continue to buy them if these issues were easier and cheaper to resolve. Hopefully our concerns will reach the right people. Thank for all the help from the other people on this site.
