I have no idea how the suspension came into this either...the dealer said it was related to the noise. I suspect a high chance of BS. I'll try to get under the car and try to determine the source of...

I'm definitely going to get a second opinion. I also went through my records today and noticed that I had the muffler replaced two years ago. I've only put 12000 miles on the car since the...

To clarify, it only happens at right about 2000RPM. Above or below, no noise. I can jump on the throttle and accelerate right up to redline before the transmission shifts with no problems. It's as if...

Whine/Rumble noise at specific RPMs

Tonight while driving my '01 I30 I noticed a new noise. At somewhere between 1500-2500 RPMs (hard to tell exactly where, as it comes and goes very quickly) there is a noise that sounds half way in...

Good to know that it's fixable. Mine is not even close to rusted through, but I will be sure to keep an eye on it. I take it that the whole piece that runs right underneath the radiatior is...

Rust under radiatior?

I was looking at my car today after washing it, and noticed that there is rust on the support directly below the radiatior. It's around the bolts that connect the radiator to it, and it appears to be...

Adding factory XM connection to '01?

Some '03 (mid model year running change) and all '04 I35s are apparently prewired for satellite radio. I'd like to be able to install this factory solution in my '01 I30 if possible, but am not sure...

A33 Windows Freezing

Sometimes when my '01 I30 sits overnight and the next morning is extremely cold, the driver's side window won't go down. It will start to go down and appear to get stuck. Pushing the switch up and...

I35 HU in I30 w/CD changer?

I'd really like to have the 6CD and RDS functions that the I35's head unit offers, but I don't want to lose the 6CD changer in the trunk of my I30. Is there any way to make them work together? I'm...

I'd have to guess it's probably the latter cause. I can't see a minor accident causing a radio to malfunction like that.

My first thought is that it's the steering wheel buttons. They have a tendency to malfunction, and my guess is whatever causes them to not work when they're pressed is causing them to do things...

I appreciate the honesty...I wasn't aware of the 6CD's problems. I've never had a single issue with my I30's 1 in dash/6 in the trunk setup.

I'll have them do the work either way. I was more hoping I could get them to do it under warranty. And I know that TSBs usually aren't covered, but since this one is corrosion related I figure it...
