2 Service Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2013

My vehicle stalled while driving creating a very hazardous situation. Engine restarted with hesitation and vdc, slip, and service engine light came on and remained on. I was told by dealer that it was due to a faulty camshaft position sensor and parts and labor for a new one would cost an estimated $500. There is currently a recall on 2003 models for the same problem, recall #03v455000. As I have seen other complaints for this issue on other models, it should be investigated and an updated recall for other model years needs to be enforced. This is a potentially dangerous malfunction. This is unacceptable and could result in several lawsuits.

6 Service Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2010

I own a 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan with just under 50,000 miles on it. I was on the off-ramp of a freeway when my car completely shut down. Everything was locked - steering wheel and brakes. The service engine soon light came on as well as the slip light under the gear indicator. I was able to coast down the off-ramp and stopped on the street. I tried to restart my car, and after about the 5th attempt, my car started. Everything seemed normal (no warning lights on the dash), and I drove 1/2 mile to my appointment. I decided to take my car to the nearest Infiniti dealership after my appointment. On my way to the dealership, my car shut down again. I was able to restart my car after the 4th or 5th attempt. This time, the warning lights on the dash (service engine soon and slip) remained on. I was about 1/2 mile from the dealership, and I was able to make it to the dealership safely without the car shutting down for the 3rd time. The dealership checked the car and told me that I need to replace the crank and cam position sensors as well as the sensor assembly magnet. The repair cost was just under $700 - not covered under warranty.
