Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Infiniti G35 - part 2

I was on the side of a mountain road when suddenly the car started shaking and I lost engine power as well as power steering. All engine lights turned on. I looked this up, and it seems like many people have had this problem so there was recall on the Infiniti G35 sedan, but interestingly not on the coupe. The recall is regarding the camshaft positioning sensor. I had my car towed afterwards to my mechanic and he verified the problem was this sensor as well. This car failure was very sudden and extremely dangerous.

I was driving on 93 south in rush hour traffic when my car completely shut down. I was stranded in the middle of the highway. I immediately threw on my flashers while other cars were whizzing by me and called the state police terrified I would be hit and unable to move. After I hung I up I put the car in park and turned the key to off. After a few more minutes unable to bear sitting there, I turned the key in the ignition and it started. I called back the state troopers and was told to just get the car to a safe spot and call a tow truck, I had aaa. I did and had it towed home. I had it brought by tow truck the next morning to my mechanic who informed me I had a faulty cam sensor. He suggested I bring it to the dealership since these were being recalled up until 2003. I did and the dealership said it was just the ecm that needed to be reprogrammed. I insisted that I was concerned I couldn't go through another incident like Friday night. They called my mechanic and called me back saying they would replace the cam sensor for $400. I think they should bear the cost of the cam sensor as this was no fault of my own and could have killed me. ## VIN failed ##.

Pulled into a parking lot when the engine stopped running all of a sudden. The power steering also went out. Everything else including the electrical seemed to still work. Service engine soon, "slip" and "vdc off" lights displayed on the dashboard immediately. This seems to be related to NHTSA campaign id # 03v455000. I called the manufacturer who informed me my VIN was not within the range of this recall. Searching online reveals other owners whose vins are not within the range also have had this issue. It seems to me this recall should be re-investigated and reevaluated as this is a serious danger to the public (imagine this happening on a freeway which has happened to other owners).

The Infiniti G35 2004 model will completely shut off when driving the car. I found out that the cam shaft sensor was the issue and the 2003 model had a recall however the 2004 does not. This issue is very concerning since the car will shut off while one is driving. This is a danger to other individuals on the road as well as the individuals driving the car.

Car would stop running (engine would die out) the reason for my complaint is that I went to Infiniti dealer to get them to fix the problem, which they told me it was the "cam position sensor" that was bad, yet didn't tell me and now I find out that there was a recall on this item (itb03-072 safety recall campaign) I had my personal mechanic fix at my expense. Should they have fixed at their expense as part of recall? please help me recuperate my money, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I own a 2007 Infiniti G35 sedan. The vehicle hesitates/stutters/surges when slowly accelerating from a stop. This mainly occurs when the engine is cold (after a cold soak). The failure occurs while turning or driving forward and was noticed at 5-30 mph and rpms are between 700-1800. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions and they "could not duplicate failure. " this is dangerous as the vehicle engine surge could cause a collision.

I was driving on the freeway and the car stopped. I had the car towed to a mechanic and he informed me that the cam shaft sensor and crank shaft sensor has gone bad. There was a Nissan recall associated with this defect and they refuse to repair the defect.

Car engine unexpectedly cut off while driving on the highway. No prior issues with car. Was able to restart car immediately and it seemed fine. Took it to get diagnosed - all fluid levels were ok but the computer diagnostic said it was the camshaft position sensor (p0340). Learned that there was a recall about this specific issue for 2003 G35s (id# 48751) but my car is a 2004 G35. Infiniti dealerships not willing to work with me about resolving the issue under warranty or recall notice, so I decided to chance it to see if it would happen again. It happened 6 days later on an exit ramp. Engine cut off and was able to pull to the side before causing any accidents. This time it was more difficult to re-start. Took several times and this time the "service engine soon" light stayed on. Took car to another Infiniti dealership and they also refused to work with me regarding the recall. The next time the engine cut off was 3 days later, also while driving. Filed a complaint with Infiniti consumer affairs and they also refuse to do anything about it.

2003 Infiniti G35 coupe- loss of engine power while driving followed by "slip" and vrc warning lights coming on. The car just suddenly stopped on the freeway. Good thing it's a manual tranmission and I could coast to the side. I was lucky not to get into an accident . Tests reveal both cam sensors need to be replaced. I have seen numerous reports like this yet no recall is being produced. This is almost as bad as the Toyota accelaration problem.

My 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan experiences intermittent failure of the control panel for operation of the a/c, radio, etc. Because of this electrical problem, the engine throttle is unable to be reset. It idles at 1000 rpm and does not reduce rpms when slowing or stopping the vehicle. This causes a shaking of the vehicle. While this make, model, and year vehicle do appear on a recall list, the VIN number is out of range so the dealer will not repair the vehicle.

Well I bought this car from bellflower auto mart thinking that I bought a pretty dependable car come to find out the previous owner was drinking and driving and totaled the car, so now the car should have a salvage title but it doesnt the airbag system in the car does not work at all, the dealer bought the wrecked car from auction and repaired it themselves and sold it to me as if it was never in any accident, I asked for the carfax report but it unfortunately slipped my mind after all the paper work, but I went the next day to return the car after I found all this out and was kicked off the property.

New vehicle driven only 4k miles when noises started emanating from the engine compartment anytime rpms exceeded 4000. Dealer diagnosed problem as a burned out transmission requiring replacement. Had the transmission seized up while driving, it could have led to a very dangerous situation.

The cam shaft position sensor went out on my infinity G35 causing a complete loss of power and almost caused a wreck. There is a recall on that year, but when I contacted infinity, they said that my model was not affected by the recall. Apparently that model has the defect. The refused to repair it.

The engine is consuming too much oil.

I want to report that Nissan/Infiniti has a major defect with the engines being used in the Infiniti G35 and Nissan 350z cars. The defects are causing engines to blow due to low oil capacity. This is a major safety threat to the owners of the cars and to other motorists on the road. I want Infiniti to take back my vehicle because I believe it is a safety threat to me, my wife, my 3 year old child and other motorists around me. Infiniti has been unwilling to work with me in this capacity. The evidence against Infiniti is staggering as can be seen on the discussion threads that I have posted below. . Read more...

Driving freeway evening traffic at 35 to 50 mph. Engine just turned off at about 40 mph and lost all power assist. Engine would not restart until car came to a full stop and key was turned off first, was able to get to shoulder of road.

This car has a bad case of automatic acceleration. Since it has been doing this for the past 9 years, I've gotten familiar with the symptons. There are a number of ways the car will simply accelerate on its own and all of them occur when braking: 1) while sitting at a complete stop with the transmission in drive and foot on the brake, the engine will suddenly just rev up to 4 or 5 thousand rpm. 2) same as above but acceleration can be caused by pressing hard on the brake pedal. 3) exiting freeway and braking, the engine will remain at the same rpm and/or speed up. 4) (this is by far the most dangerous) when braking extra hard, the transmission will shift down and the engine goes to full throttle. This one has nearly gotten me a couple of times. The dealer has replaced the throttle, throttle body, etc. Nothing has resolved the problem. It is intermittent and incidents may be months apart. Until recently, the dealer has denied that any other owners have experienced this problem in the USA. Owners have complaining about it since 2003 on various internet sites while the manufacturer denies there is a problem and has allowed it to persist for 10 years. Only recently has the dealer admitted other problems and stated they were afraid of what happened to Toyota. Briefly looking at entries on the NHTSA site, there have been about half a dozen complaints a year. None reported a fatality but then the dead are unlikely to file a complaint. If a tenth of a percent of the owners experiencing this problem filed complaints, that would be 6,000 vehicles per year are being produced with this fatal flaw. In summary, what do you do with a potentially lethal vehicle? sell it to some unsuspecting person and endanger their life or keep it and wonder when it will kill me? if the latter happens, we'll all know why.
