1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2016

While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions. On several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off. The "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared. I took it to my local Infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened. The crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563. 03, and Infiniti says that without NHTSA telling them to pay for it, they refuse. This car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.

Failure Date: 08/21/2015

The car suddenly had a very poor acceleration, like no power and a "service engine soon" lighted up. Also, the circuit board with temperature controls, does not light up. Same the radio . . . ??.

5 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2013

After purchasing the vehicle, I was driving it around for about a week. I came to a stop one day and my oil light came on. I took it to the dealership and asked them to check it. The dipstick is very hard to read, unlike most cars, long story short the dealership changed it. I don't believe that they did when I got it because of the color. Ever since I have been keeping track of the oil consumption issue that I have been having. I have a aftermarket warranty but they are no longer helping me with my issues (or feel as though I am not being helped) with my car at such low miles I have looked and there are several issues with vq35de motors with oil consumption issues that needs to be fixed. I have and am having sever issues with oil consumption. I just has a compression test and I have #'s but I have to call the dealership, they also just did a leak down test to see if it might be the rings just in case the compression test didn't get it. ** I now currently burn 1. 2 quarts of oil in 800 miles. Was the last and latest oil consumption test that the dealership has run. After passing both tests. The most I have seen my car use is 3qts in 3k. Not goood! I currently have 98895 on the car right now. Please if you can help :) thank you!.
