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 was driving the vehicle today and the car started to stall. Several lights came on like service, engine light, break light. Then total shutdown. I took it to local mechanic and he suspects that there's a problem with ignition and key tumbler. This sounds a lot like the gm problem with weak key tumblers and causing sudden stall and crash. Please investigate if Infiniti I35 2004 have similar problems and should be recalled.
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.

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.
Front end pulls dangerously & powerful to one side or another, front end play freely and uncontrollable. Door locks automatically with my keys in car, front dash electrical jumps around, when I press the gas pedal nothing happens. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****760753.
