While driving on the freeway last night during rush hour my car engine just stopped. . The dash lights came on,( slip, tcs,brake,check engine soon, oil and battery). I was able to get to the shoulder safely. Very scared but safe I was in the middle lane. Turned off ignition waited a few and restarted. Took surface street the rest of the way. 3-4 hours it started fine, however while driving back 25 miles on a residential street it happened again. Got it stared and some lights remained on (slip,tcs,check engine soon). Haven't started it today. Going to mechanic on Monday. Only have 65000 miles on the car. I phoned Infiniti consumer affairs and was told my VIN wasn't and is not part of any recall and if it turns out to be the same issue I still have to pay for diagnosis and repairs.
My vehicles crank/cam sensor I believe has gone bad. I was driving on a city street, the car was driving fine and it was like the engine shut off but it was not I could drive 1 mph, and car would not rev up. I saw there were recalls on this for Infinitis made in 2202-2003 but for some reason my 2003 Infiniti is not included in this! car no longer will move.
My name is krystal bickings, I have received a letter containing an urgent airbag saftey recall on my Infiniti I 35 2003. The letter from florida highway safety and moter vehicles states tthat hat there has been an airbag recalled for a safety defect in the airbag that could result in death or serious injury to me and/or my passengers. This happens to be my only vehicle and is extremely concerning because I have two small children, one with disabilities and the other is an infant! we depend on this vehicle everyday for specialty appointments and work! I need my car repaired as soon as possible, and while my care is being repaired, I will need another vehicle, as this is a huge inconvenience to my family!.
The car loses power after a while and will just stop as if it ran out of gas. This has happened several times, otherwise the car is ok. The mechanic suspects it has something to do with the crank position or circuit board. There was recalls on this model in 11/2003 and 12/2003 that describe exactly what happens to my vehicle. This slowing down to stopping happened on a major expressway and I had to be towed. It also happened again in my street and driveway having to be towed again.
Car stalled while driving down the road at a speed of 30 mph. Diagnostic test revealed codes for camshaft/crankshaft position sensors. Vehicle not included in recall. Mechanic verified that the sensors failing were the problem. Car towed to home. Sensors have been replaced and failed again!.
We were driving locally at normal speed and the car suddenly lost power as though we ran out of gas. We were able to slide somewhat to the side of the road. After a while, the car started again and we thought it was just some kind of fluke. We are senior citizens and do not drive a great deal however we thought all was well and in August we road on the highway 95 to connecticut and the exact same thing happened after we arrived and were pulling into a local mall, once again we had to be towed. If this had happened to us on 95 we would have been killed. About a week ago my daughter was driving at normal speed in this area locally and the same exact thing happened, at night and the car would not respond and a tow truck had to be called and the car towed to a service station. The next day we spoke to the mechanic and he said he drove the car all over and did testing and found nothing. This is a very serious matter. My daughter often has her baby in the car and so even more danger is involved. I contacted infinity and they said there is no recall but we saw many complaints by owners on the web search, infinity 35 2003, with the exact same complaint. Does there have to be fatality to force some action?.
I understand that per campaign NHTSA # 03v455000 - crank/cam positon sensor weld, my veh was part of this recall. . Infiniti I35 2002-2003 and I was not notified. It shows that the circuit board for the cran position sensor have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress acceleraton residue during the soldering process. This continously happent to my vehicle where my check engine warning light comes on , I have no power & the vehicle stops running with no warning during operation which is very dangerous. I have no ideal when the vehicle is going to shut off while driving leaving no control of vehicle. I called in reference to a current recall issue & also advised of this & was told by representative that this has expired & its is too late. "what" my life is in danger just driving this vehicle. What can be done concerning this matter?.
