| Vehicle: 2000 infiniti i30t has a reoccurring 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!!! | |||

| 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. | |||
