Four problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2005 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving on the highway at 55 miles an hour when unexpectedly, the car starts to make some noise then it completely shuts down the motor, the check engine light comes on, vdc off, and slip lights all came on. I tried to restart the car, and only after multiple attempts (about three) did the car start. There is no warning. The auto repair facility ran a diagnostic and the code they got was the cam sensors needed replacing, which cost me $650. They said they have been replacing a lot of these. It's very prevalent. They informed me that the 2003 model of the Infiniti G35 had arecall for the same problem.
I have done some research online. Lots of people are having or have had the same same problem. Very prevalent. As you are driving the down the road the car starts to make some noise then it completely shuts down the motor, the check engine light comes on and does not start once it stops. There is no warning. It takes a while for the sensor to reset -- putting me and my vehicle in harms way. This happened to me on a very busy overpass. The vehicle shut down. I had a hard time steering and getting over out of the way. I was almost hit several times by other cars driving 50 plus mph. I had to have the car towed. Once we got to the auto repair facility. It started again but then shut off. I was googling this symptom and the year, make model (2005 infiiniti G35 engine stall) and this was all over the internet. Several other people were put at risk of injury. I was convinced this was my problem, too. The auto repair facility ran a diagnostic and this was the code they got as well. I already knew what the problem was going to be. So my question is. . . Why has this not been recalled if? it is dangerous. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Thank god my daughter was not driving.
Cam shaft sensor check engine light came on saying it was that. Replaced both sensors costing $150 for autozone parts light still on. Read that some had success unplugging battery for 24 hours and filling the oil up. . . . . Smh sad seat slides forward when breaking about 4".

The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the accelerator pedal sensor and the sensor module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 51,000.
