  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 I was told this was no longer valid since I am not the original owner of the vehicle.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 safety issue.

  THE CORE RADIATOR SUPPORT IS RUSTING OUT WHERE A SUPPORT PIECE HOLDING UP THE ENGINE IS ATTACHED. IT HAS RUSTED ALMOST THROUGH AND IF IT RUSTS THROUGH, I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A LARGE AMOUNT OF STRESS ON A SECONDARY SUPPORT FOR THE ENGINE, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO THE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF PLACE. I READ THROUGH SEVERAL FORUMS AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THIS MODEL (AND ITS SISTER MODEL THE NISSAN MAXIMA). THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME IF PEOPLE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS AND THE SUPPORT FOR THEIR ENGINE CAME LOOSE. *TR

  2001 INFINITI I30T MY MECHANIC HAD THE INFINITI ON A LIFT TO INVESTIGATE A BRAKE PROBLEM. WHILE THERE HE NOTICED THAT A SECTION OF THE FRAME JUST BELOW THE RADIATOR THAT SUPPORTS IT AND THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS EXTREMELY CORRODED. WHAT ALARMED HIM IS THAT ONE, HE'S SEEN THIS WITH GREATER FREQUENCY ON THE FEW INFINITI I30S HE'S WORKED ON AS WELL AS ITS SISTER VEHICLE OF THAT GENERATION, THE NISSAN MAXIMA. TWO, THE CORROSION IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE COULD EVENTUALLY BREAK THROUGH AND EITHER DROP OUT OF THE CAR ALTOGETHER OR AT THE VERY LEAST DROP LOW ENOUGH SUCH THAT IF WHILE TRAVELING THE CAR PASSED OVER SOMETHING RAISED AND FIXED ON THE ROAD, IT WOULD CATCH THE OBJECT SOMERSAULTING THE CAR AND OCCUPANTS.
