The engine shuts off on the road while the vehicle is in motion. It happened 2 years ago first time. Replaced camshaft position sensor bank 1 and bank 2.

I request Infiniti dealership to fix this problem with no cost. Thank you.

5 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2014

As I was accelerating to access highway, I was not able to accelerate my vehicle. It was as if I was running out of gas. I kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. A few minutes later when I was sitting at a red light, the car died. I put it in park and restarted and it was fine. A few days later the same thing happened as I was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. Car was running, while I waited and it suddenly shut down. When I restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. I checked my manual and thought it could be the gas cap wasn't on tight enough or bad gas. Filled up my tank and a few hours later check engine light went out. Today the car died as I was pulling into my driveway, however immediately restarted. Researched recall information and contacted Infiniti and was told my vehicle was not part of NHTSA campaign number 03v455000.

7 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2012

Engine became inoperable while driving causing a major safety issue. Several warning lights came on simultaneously (check engine light, slip light, vdc light) at the time. Car was able to be restarted with some trouble. Problem repeated itself (stalling, loss of power, starting difficulty) over next couple days, although warning lights never went off. Independent mechanic identified problem as cam position sensor failures & advised there was a NHTSA safety recall (NHTSA campaign id 03v455000) for the problem with 2003 G35s, but that my VIN was outside the campaign recall vins. He suggested I contacted Infiniti. I contacted both dealer and Infiniti national customer service who acknowledged there was a cam position sensor problem with 2003 G35s, but because my VIN was not in the campaign they refused to do anything to address the safety issue. I had the dealer replace the cam position sensors at my expense (about $1500). There are a number of similar complaints filed with the NHTSA about this problem with no apparent resolution with Infiniti. The recall campaign 03v455000 needs to be extended to cover all problem vehicles.

13 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/28/2010

In April (2010) I noticed that my check engine light was on and my vehicle would not start. I waited and attempted to restart it a few times until it finally started. I went home and I planned on taking my car to the Infiniti service center the next day. When I took my vehicle to the infinit service center I was told that my camshaft position sensor needed to replaced. I replaced it that day and then seven months later in November my vehicle began to replicate the same malfunctions. I thought it was my battery because I had just had this problem fixed. So I bought another battery, but my car continued to not start at random times. Therefore, I took my vehicle back up to the Infiniti service center I was told that the camshaft position b2 went out. I had that replaced as well.

Vch light and check engine lights turned on. I took it to my mechanic he checked it with the computer got the codes p0011 and p0340 cam position sensor and crank position sensor. I told me that the car might have a defect because that year and model was known to have this issue. I checked the internet and I found the recall NHTSA # 03v455000. I called Infiniti gave them my VIN number and they said my car was not affected by that recall. My call clearly has all the symptoms stated in the recall. This is not far Infiniti does not want to take responsibility for this.

16 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/04/2003

1) car has been meticulously cared for. At 44,450 miles, the engine dies unexpectedly while going at 25mph. Engine cranks roughly for a long time at start, but starts eventually. I get the "check engine light", "vdc off" and "slip" light on. 2) the error was associated to "camshaft position sensor". Since the start of this condition, engine dies atleast once every drive - mostly at low rpm, but twice at 25 and 40 mph resulting in near collisions! I called Infiniti and they mentioned that my particular VIN has no recalls associated with it for this condition - but I clearly see a 630,000 car recall for this condition under engine & engine cooling with NHTSA id# 03v455000. 3) the dealership is willing to repair for $105/hr for something that is clearly a vehicle defect. They will change the camshaft position sensor.
