Car was being driven at about 65mph when it lost power and the vdc, slip and check engine soon lights all came on the car regain power but at less amount and was hard to start. Was taken to dealer. And was found to need a cam pos sensor. If this loss of power happen when passing on a 2 lane road I may not be writing this . The 2003 models had a recall I think this model needs one to. The cost was over 350. 00.
First, on 07/28/2012, at about 60 mph while driving on the freeway, notice the vehicle's engine sort of stalled (saw the tachometer drop completely) for 1 second and resume operation. Continue driving but the slip, vdc and check engine lights came on. Continued driving the car to my destination, which was less than a mile from this incident. After a while, tried to start the car and it would not start. It took a few tries and finally did. Decided to go back home and as I was exiting the freeway at about 45 mph (thanks good) the car's engine completely shut off (thanks god was exiting the freeway (don't want to think what could have happened with cars coming right behind me at about 70). Was able to restart the car after a few minutes and continued driving slow (on the streets) to my destination. The car now starts ok after a while but suddenly dies. Took the car to a repair show and it shows a p0335 code (crankshaft position sensor). My mechanic says, very common problem with this cars. ***same recall as in the 2003 model year*** what are we waiting for, for some one to die in a car accident for Nissan's failure to correct this problem that was reported in the 2003 models??? I hope not. If I had children, I would transport them in this vehicle, ever!!!.
Yesterday, July 9, 2012, hile driving under normal conditions on a main city street the engine on my 2004 Infiniti G35 just stopped running. Lost power steering and power brakes. Managed to manually steer the car off the road into a parking lot. The vdc off and slip lights and the check engine soon lights came on. I turned off the ignition and just sat there, stunned, for a few minutes. I decided to try to start it up again, and it did start and sounded ok, so I slowly drove it on home. After doing some research online for the next hour, I kind of figured it might be this defective cam position sensor, as the symptoms my car displayed sounded just like what so many others were describing, plus inifiniti and Nissan had a recall for this very problem issued on the 2003 G35. I completely agree with others that the 2004 G35 should be under this same recall. This is an extremely dangerous situation to be driving and suddenly, without warning, lose all engine power. I will add that later that evening I had to go somewhere, so I took a chance that it would make it. It quit on me twice in the area around my home within 10 blocks. So, obviously I cannot take this car very far from home without getting this repaired and replaced. I took it to autozone today to have them find out the code for the check engine soon light. It's what I suspected, 0340, which is the passenger side cam position sensor. The very thing on the 2003 inifiniti G35 model recall.
Was driving down street at approx. 30 mph the car stopped like it has a massive heart attack the panel lit up and it died (not stalled )no movement not even to the side of the street. . . No warning. . . No check engine light. . Just complete failure . . . Found out by the internet there was a recall in 2003 . . . Dealer contacted and fixed for $268. 00. . .

Let them know they were responsible if there was any further problem which may result in a very serious accident or injury. . .
