Camshaft Position Sensor problems of the 2004 Infiniti G35

Recall number r2022 Infiniti recall r3021 there is a recall for some Infinitis but not mine but im having the same issues as this recall a failed camshaft position sensor and failed crankshaft position sensor like on the recall above except my VIN did not match the vehicles that were recalled although the dealership told me my vehicle falls into the make model and year of which the recall was made. Out of nowhere my car will shut off at high rates of speed and at low rates of speed without any warning my check engine light comes on as well as other lights and the code is for the crankshaft position sensor faulting and the camshaft position sensors faulting. The car can be in motion at 5mph or even at 70mph and the car will comnpletely die with no control over the vehicle as the sterring wheel locks up completely. Not sure why other Infiniti G35 coupes were covered under this recall but im having the very same issues as the others with failed sensors.

As previously mentioned and depicted copious times on multiple sites, my 2004 G35 (built in 2003 and purchased 11/03 w/ only 43,544 miles) stalls w/o warning. Engine and vdc lights show only after engine stalls. If idle rpms are increased to 1,000, to prevent stalling, the engine idle lopes noticeably. This safety issue has occurred both while stopped (stop lights/signs) and while driving 4 out of the last 4 times driven. Research indicates the fix consists of camshaft position sensor and crankshaft angle sensors. It is patently obvious that regardless of mileage (I. E. 100k+ or in my case 43k miles) the engine will stall, jeopardizing the safety of the driver and passenger(s) resulting from being hit by other vehicles, thereby endangering the occupants of any/all vehicles. This issue should not be the causal factor for individuals being hurt/maimed/killed due to an obvious engineering/manufacturing error by Nissan/Infiniti, nor should an owner be held responsible for a blatantly obvious manufacturer's defect's, by being required to pay for a system beyond their control and the sole responsibility of the actual manufacturer. Please research the warranty and repair orders, as well as the myriad of the exact same complaints by consumers, reflected on on-line sites and forums. This should not be required to rise to the level of the air bags, exploding gas tanks, etc. . . Resulting in significant injury or death. Respectfully.

The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vdc, the slip and check engine warning lights illuminated as the engine stalled. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.

While driving at any speed it will suddenly go into "slip " mode. The service engine, vdc off, and slip warning lights come on, the accelerator stops functioning and the engine coasts. This is extremely dangerous in traffic. There is an active campaign that I have included below on the same vehichles the previous year and some from 2004. When I contacted Infiniti multiple times about my vehicle with the same problem they refused to include my car. Summary: on certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process. Consequence: this could cause the "service engine soon" warning light to come on, create a no start condition, cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the crank position sensors. Camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). Vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01v357, are also included in this new campaign. The replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. Owner notification began on December 22, 2003. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200. Notes: Nissan recall no. R3022/Infiniti recall no. R3021. Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

I had the exact same symptoms, and the dealer recommended the same parts to be replaced as affected by an earlier recall: recall id# 03v455000 - engine and engine cooling recall date: Nov 17, 2003 model affected: Infiniti G35 summary: on certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process.

The Infiniti G35 2004 model will completely shut off when driving the car. I found out that the cam shaft sensor was the issue and the 2003 model had a recall however the 2004 does not. This issue is very concerning since the car will shut off while one is driving. This is a danger to other individuals on the road as well as the individuals driving the car.
