1999 Infiniti I30/I30T

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1999 I30/I30T.

Engine ElectricTransmission Automatic 4-spd

The 1999 Infiniti I30/I30T Electric pairs an electric powertrain with a four-speed automatic transmission, an unusual configuration that gives the model year a distinct identity worth flagging in any reference. Its reliability record shows 27 owner complaints, with the air bag system standing out as the most frequently cited concern, and a recall count of zero across the model. The combination of a contained complaint volume and a clean recall file gives this entry a measured standing—low regulatory exposure paired with a narrow but identifiable cluster of owner-reported issues centered on the restraint system. For researchers, that profile positions the 1999 model year as a useful data point: a vehicle that avoided formal recall action while still surfacing a recurring area of owner dissatisfaction worth tracking.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter at 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 1999 Infiniti I30/I30T dominate in one area — the air bags, 14 of 27 reports (52%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 2 of the reports describe a crash and 4 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the air bags pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
