general problems of the 2003 Infiniti I35

Camshaft sensor according to the Infiniti dealership (ray brandt on causeway in metairie la. ) is malfunctioning at makes the car engine die while driving. Then when you restart the car the engine revs fine in neutral but once in drive it won't go over 5 mph. Also the timing chain tensioner fails on this car and can cause severe engine damage while the car is being driven. I've looked up both of these problems and have spoken with Nissan and Infiniti and a simple internet search will also confirm that these 2 problems are extremely common on this 5th generation engine. Nissan even lost 2 class action lawsuits on the timing tensioner. Well if Nissan lost 2 court battles over an engine defect that every Nissan internet forum says is a very very common problem then why isn't there a recall. And shouldn't hazing headlights be a safety issue on all cars? almost all cars have this problem and manufacturers keep building cars with unsafe headlights. Why aren't these recalls? thank you for this website. As an american citizen and consumer with a daughter these safety concerns are very troubling to me and all my friends and business associates.

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?.

The car suddenly loses throttle control under normal driving conditions; the engine return to "idle speed". I was driving on the expressway and all of a sudden the check engine light came on and the car started slowing down. I pressed on the gas pedal all the way down but the car refused to accelerate. I managed to pull over and stop the engine. And then restarted the car and it seemed to work ok for a while and then did it again. I managed to get it to the dealer and it has been there since while they try to figure out why this is happening. This problem started happening about a year ago. The throttle body has been replaced 4 times in the last year; the throttle body contains the electric actuator for the throttle and the sensors that tell the computer the position of the throttle. I am really concerned about driving the car in traffic because it could suddenly "cut out" and lead to an accident.
