1 Crankshaft Position Sensor problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2014

Was maneuvering a gentle right hand curve on a 4 lane city street. The car just simply died. Without the engine running the power steering was nullified and the vehicle wanted to continue in a straight line. Approximately 200 ft. Ahead there was an area with a driveway belonging to the water dept. Which I was able to wrestle the vehicle onto, out of traffic. The car would not restart and aaa was called. It was towed to the garage where the mechanic informed me the cam position sensor was faulty and the vehicle was repaired with a new one. About a year later the same thing occurred again as I was turning a corner. Without power steering or brakes I collided with the vehicle waiting at the light. Fortunately, my speed was 10 to 15 mph and damage to both vehicles was minimal. The cam position sensor was again, the culprit. Last wed. 4/29/15, there was another occurrence then again today 5/3/15, yet another. With the last two, the car was quickly put in neutral and restarted. Research revealed malfunctions with both the cam position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor were cause for a recall with Infiniti but it seems everyone that had submitted a thread concerning the problem reported the VIN number on their vehicle was not on the "list" that qualified for any action from the manufacturer. What??? if this life threating occurrence is happening to literally dozens of Infiniti owners, why is there a qualifing list???.
