What owners wrote
I was driving along the middle lane in heavy traffic. At the intersection with traffic lights, the lane was stuck in front of me and there was no space to go. In order not to block the intersection, I had to slow down and stop at the traffic lights. While I was waiting at the lights, after 10 seconds the other car came closer without slowing down and hit my car from the behind. I was rear-ended on that incident.
Research of NHTSA records show 3 other complaints similar to mine. I first reported this issue to nissan on feb-12-08. The rear suspension bottoms out. Diagnosis by my mechanic, later confirmed by the infiniti dealer, was the failure of the passenger side moog rear suspension mount. My message to nissan at the time read as follows: "I am unpleasantly surprised that a bushing in the rear suspension of my I30 needs replacement, and that the complete rear end must be replaced.
