Eight problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 2004 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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 while driving at an unknown speed, the engine stalled and multiple warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to restarted, but the failure recurred. The contact was made aware of NHTSA campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. However, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Driving at approximately 30 mph and my engine stalled with all the warning lights on. I had to pull over to the side with no power steering and brakes. Tunr the ignition key off and wait a couple of minutes to start the engine. The "service engnine soon" light stayed on. The dealer ran diagnostics and detected a bad cam shaft sensor.
I was driving normally through town at 30 mph when the engine just stopped and all the dash warning lights came on. Fortunately, I was able to safely coast into a parking lot off the road. I put the car in park and turned car ignition to off position. I turned it on again and the car started normally. I put the car into reverse and the engine immediately stalled. I put the car back into park and turned car ignition to off position. I waited a few more minutes, started the car and was able to drive home.
The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that the engine stalled while driving approximately 40 mph and there were no warning indicators illuminated. The engine was restarted and resumed in operation normally. The failure recurred twice and the vehicle would require several attempts before starting. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the cam shaft senor was replaced. One year after the repair was performed the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable.
The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti G35. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, smoke began to rise from the engine and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop, but the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileage was 125,000.
Nissan just started a recall for stalled engine. My car (2004 infinti G35) seems to do the exact same thing but it is not part of the recall and I took it to the dealer but they said there was no problem with the car. Now, the engine stalls once in a while and you have turn the car off and restart for it to work. I called Infiniti and they said can not do anything right now because it is not part of the specific recall. The car poses safety issue if it is to stall in the middle of highway, it will threaten safety of others including myself.
On two separate occasions the engine stalled while driving 65 mph or more. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. On the first visit the dealer was not able to duplicate the problem. The second visit the dealer replaced the complete throttle body chamber. The problem appears to be correct at this time.
