Runaway acceleration. Three times now in the last two weeks the rpms went to maximum redline without my foot on the accelerator pedal. Fortunately all occurred when I was at very slow speed and either in a driveway or a parking lot. Each time I immediately put the transmission to neutral and shut off the engine. For the first occurrence, restarting the engine all went back to normal. But for the second instance, two weeks later on restart the engine again instantly went to maximum rpm (deep redline). On a second restart, with additional delay before attempting a restart, the problem cleared. I took the car to a mechanic and they said no error diagnostics were recorded. On test drive he said he noticed some brief unexpected surges. He said for liability reasons no way he would work on the car. No warnings, no instrument indications, car does not seem to "know" throttle is at max redline.

The car engine cuts off / stalls while driving. This has happened multiple times. When driving on highway, the engine stops running, the car loses all power, and it is very difficult to restart the car. I had the car inspected and the local mechanic stated the crankshaft sensor/ camshaft censor is not working properly and he believed this was on recall, but Infiniti stated that my car is not covered. This is extremely dangerous - call stalls in the middle of the road with no power at all.

Desconocido.

Twice while driving approximately 70 mph on the freeway, the engine shut off without warning and the service engine soon warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle coasted. There was no shoulder to pull over to. I put it in neutral and it restarted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the camshaft and crank sensor failed. I looked online and saw a recall for the cam shaft and crank sensors for the, 2003 Infiniti G35. However, when I called, I was told that my VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 230,000.

My heater and ac lights kicks on and off causing my windows to fog making it easy to have an accident. There is a ticking as well but no lights.

I was at stop light and G35 jolted. At the next light the car completely turned off and all the power of the car went dead. Nothing was lit at all. Had a power boost with jumper cables and the car started right up. Luckily I was a few blocks away from the house, but it was scary since my kids were in the car and the car turned off crossing the intersection. The car turns on, but I am not trusting in driving it anywhere. There is not check engine light on or warning. I was told battery was fine a c1109 code came up, stating low voltage. Possible issues with the abs or crank position sensor, which under o1v357 recall, these cars were impacted, but this Infiniti was not included, and it should have been. I exclusively took auto to Infiniti for maintenance until around 2018 and I never had them mention anything to me about these issues.

Vehicle was in motion on a city street when the engine seemed to acquire a life of its own and sped up, unresponsive to drivers application of brakes for several seconds. As driver brought the vehicle to a stop, a puff of white smoke emerged from under the hood.

My car was going good for 3 years and out of nowhere it stopped getting gas or throttle like it should and it's been sitting for a week now. . . Ima have to get checked or something but out of nowhere my car would start but not throttle properly and would slip and all my lights would go in my car. .

Tl the contact owns a 2003 Infiniti G35. While operating the vehicle, the check engine indicator remained illuminated and the engine suddenly shut off while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the crank camshaft sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,800. The VIN was invalid.

Vehicile goes into safe mode without warning and slows to about 20 mph putting passengers in dangerous situation in heavy traffic on interstate.

Hello, my 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe is experiencing the exact issue that NHTSA campaign number:�03v455000 (Infiniti recall no. R3021) describes for the crank/cam shaft position sensors. My car will literally just die while driving at any given time! my steering wheel locks up, and I have to pull over with a stiff steering wheel to turn my car off & restart it. Sometimes, the car won't start becuase of the same issue. However, my local Infiniti dealer and the Infiniti customer service line have both informed me that they cannot fix this issue becuase my VIN was not listed on that recall. I bought this car around 6-7 years ago, so I would not have even been able to take it in to get fixed since they noted it was only 2003 for a certain time. This just recently started happening a few months ago, and I finally found the exact issue on your website. I verified that my cars computer noted that those specific sensors are bad! I'm very upset with Infiniti not even caring to help one of their customers for a major safety and liability issue! this keeps happening over and over at random, and I'm honestly nervous to drive my car. This could easily pose danger to others or myself if the car does this while driving in the future! please help!.

The fuel gauge is not reading correctly, and I have to rely on knowing my mileage and how much I last filled in my tank. I have to keep the car running longer than necessary to even duplicate the problem, and when I do the gas gauge just suddenly starts dropping. And if for some reason I even let my gas get low enough to have the low fuel lamp come on, it's almost too late and I barely make it to a gas station. I have not had the issue reproduced/confirmed by any independent servicer. I have seen in many G35 forums that this is an issue that has not had a recall yet. All of the other models for Nissan/Infiniti 2005 were recalled for the fuel sensor in 2010, but not the G35/g37 model. If this keeps happening I will eventually be involved in an accident when my gas runs out unexpectedly on the highway.

Dealer stating that I need both catalytic converters replaced. My local mechanic states, that he has seen many Infiniti and nissans 2005-2007 have catalytic converter problems. My car has 110,000 miles.

Service engine soon, vdc off, and slip lights all come on from start up of vehicle. Engine bogs a lot, specially when slightly more agresive acceleration. I changed hid wire by pulling out the headlight unit and the next time I drove it this happened.

While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions. On several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off. The "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared. I took it to my local Infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened. The crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563. 03, and Infiniti says that without NHTSA telling them to pay for it, they refuse. This car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.

The contact owns a 2004 infinti G35. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration without warning. The accelerator pedal became stuck and the engine revved rapidly. The brake pedal was depressed numerous times before the vehicle came to a stop. The engine was turned off and smoke emitted from underneath the hood. There were no flames visible. After restarting, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that the service engine warning indicator randomly flashed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

While on the freeway, the car died with no warning then took several seconds to restart. When started, the vdc, slip, and engine light where all on. Car was taken to a private mechanic where 2 codes for the camshift position center were given. The car is hard to start and often dies during idle time. When checking on the recall, my VIN was not one listed, however it appears to have the same camshaft sensor identified by Infiniti.

Driveing into curve engine died and had no power brakes and difficult to steer on city street.

The car suddenly had a very poor acceleration, like no power and a "service engine soon" lighted up. Also, the circuit board with temperature controls, does not light up. Same the radio . . . ??.

Approximately 3 months ago I purchased a 2005 Infiniti G35 for my daughter. Two weeks ago the car began to shut completely down while she was driving it with no warning whatsoever - regardless of speed. There would be a complete loss of power, including power steering, so it would be difficult for her to get the car off the road before attempting to restart it. This problem has continued to occur at random every time the car is driven creating a very dangerous situation; particularly, for a teenage driver. I googled the car's issues, and learned that Nissan has a recall on 2005 Infiniti G35's for the replacement of a camshaft position sensor which has been described as causing this loss of power problem. I called Nissan to see if my daughter's car was on the recall list and was told it was not. An Infiniti dealer ran a diagnostic on the car this morning and confirmed that the car's camshaft position sensor had failed and needs to be replaced. I believe Nissan should honor this recall on every 2005 Infiniti G35 vehicle - not just those vehicles whose VIN numbers appear on the recall list - especially those vehicles who have had the sensor fail. The repair totals $425. 00 and I am seeking reimbursement of that amount from Nissan.

While driving the car the engine lights come on and the car shuts completely off, no power at all, no control of car at all. I almost had an accident. The car does start again. This has happened two more times since. Very scary. This is a huge safety concern. It happens without notice. I called Infiniti and was told my car was not manufactured at the plant they were calling recalls for. Well excuse me Infiniti your problem is wide spread and extremely dangerous (my infinity case number for this problem * well as my passenger airbag sensor problem they are not willing to address is 15697563). They informed me the airbag sensor was replaced in 2010 - it was not. I have the car-facts to prove this. Infiniti stated to bring my car back to norwood, massachusetts Infiniti for a diagnostic. I will do this this week but sadly expect the same run around I have received before. This car between the two safety issues I have reported above is at extreme crash and injury risk.

My vehicle's engine cuts off without warning. Infiniti had a recall regarding this yet they say my car isn't on the recall list. It deals with some sensors that cut the engine off without warning. I have the same exact problems as the recall states,.

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???.

Car faltered at normal traffic speed, threatened to stop running, shifted awkwardly, drove erratically -- to the point that the vehicle seemed a danger to myself and other drivers -- then was difficult to start once stopped. There was a recall for the same affected part on the same make and model and year, but didn't involve my particular VIN -- this campaign (03v455000) perhaps should be readdressed to include additional vehicles.

I got my car in April 2013 not a year yet. I was at work when they said the light started to blink and then the alarm started to go off when the security came by around it was smoking and on fire it was coming from the hood. The police and fire station said they think it was a electric problems. I really don't know what I should do now.

After driving for about 5 minutes the car completely shut off. It was basically a moving parked car!!! the steering wheel locked so it was really hard to pull over. Thank god I was on a local street. I didn’t force the steering too much b/c that could affect the power steering. Once on the side, the car took really long to start up, I mean about 5 seconds from hearing the crank to actual startup. Usually it’s instantaneous. Now, the service engine soon, vdc off, and slip lights were on. I got my car checked out with a scanner/diagnosis and it returned code “p0340 camshaft position sensor. ” I just find it really hard to believe Nissan/Infiniti does not cover such a dangerous problem. I can understand that every car has mechanical/electrical issues but for a car to stop working on the road like that is unacceptable. There was a recall on this issue but according to Nissan/Infiniti my car VIN is not for this campaign so I was rejected. Itb03-072 safety recall campaign 2002 q45, 2003 m45, G35, 2002-2003 i35; voluntary recall campaign engine sensors Infiniti has determined that some 2002-2003 model year Infiniti vehicles may have a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. The engine might stop running while being driven if the crank position sensor or cam position sensor fails. This may also result in the “service engine soon” light coming on or reduced engine power. If the engine stops running while driving, this could result in a crash without warning.

The car simply died after pulling on to a busy highway. It would not start for several minutes. After taking the car to the infinity dealership I was informed that it was a cam shift sensor failure. Not just one, but two sensors. I understand that there was a recall for this model but I cannot get the infinity to comply with this recall and the subsequently charged me $500+ to replace the two fouled parts. Very disappointing.

While driving at any speed it will suddenly go into "slip " mode. The service engine, vdc off, and slip warning lights come on, the accelerator stops functioning and the engine coasts. This is extremely dangerous in traffic. There is an active campaign that I have included below on the same vehichles the previous year and some from 2004. When I contacted Infiniti multiple times about my vehicle with the same problem they refused to include my car. Summary: on certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process. Consequence: this could cause the "service engine soon" warning light to come on, create a no start condition, cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the crank position sensors. Camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). Vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01v357, are also included in this new campaign. The replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. Owner notification began on December 22, 2003. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200. Notes: Nissan recall no. R3022/Infiniti recall no. R3021. Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

I was pulling out of a parking space - put car from reverse into drive - engine suddenly raced to red line. My foot was not on the accelerator at this moment. Even with maximum pressure on brake pedal car moved forward to other parked cars and would not return to idle. I turned off ignition. Car stopped 12 inches from a parked car. When restarted, car behaved normally and I have been unable to reproduce incident. Very dangerous problem!.

The vq35de Infiniti G35 engine consumes oil quickly. Roughly about 1qt/1000 miles. This car was bought used in 2009 with 35,000 miles. Oil changes with filter and plug have been made habitually every 3,000 miles with mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30 or 10w-30 depending on the season. I see that this is a common problem amongst other vq35de users on both the Infiniti G35 and Nissan 350z. This problem needs to be addressed by someone, because Infiniti does not seem to be doing anything about it either.
