2003 Infiniti M45 with approximately 106,000 miles. Car will stall suddenly at highway or city road speeds necessitating putting car into neutral or pulling over to restart. Previously, after this had happened, a code for faulty crankshaft position sensor was recovered, and both the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors were replaced with aftermarket new parts from duralast. Car no longer has a check engine light code associated with the stalling, but the stalling persists. Also, when car is cooled to ambient temperature, it may take 2-3 ignition attempts to start the car and occasionally a backfire/misfire is heard during failed attempts. If car has sat for multiple days without being driven, it may take 10-15 attempts to start the vehicle.

I had purchased my M45 2006 Infiniti used Feb 20,2016 the car drove good everything worked well no problems at all. I did noticed the check engine light came on I took the car back to metro Honda which is where I got it from as used. The checked it out the light went off but came back on and stay. July of 2016 is when the car would just lose power cut off while driving etc. The car would take several minutes to start back up. The problem got more hecked because the car cut off one night my children and I was driving right on the middle of the road and a 18 wheeler was behind us I was able to come to a stop safely but was in the middle of the road which was a bridge. I had the car tested it came back as my cam and crank shaft sensor had those replaced not even been 2 weeks and the go still act as if no gas is getting to engine and still cuts off this is usafe it can cause someone to even be killed. I am so scared to go long distances because I'm scared the car will just loose all power. I took the car to Infiniti they couldn't even tell me what the problem was I also looked online and seen at repair pal where there was a recall on the crank shaft and cam sensor as well as fuel pump gas pedal and the recent one of the air bags. As well as a electric problem and all this was. Back in December of 2003 the only thing that was replaced on this car was the gas pedal. Something has to be done Infiniti needs to recall all this on the M45 sports 2006 I feel helpless and hopeless because I don't even know if my children and I will get in this car and make it back home alive. Something needs to be done.

While turning left with on coming traffic the engine died. The check engine light came on and the communications center said it was emissions related. The car did restart, the warning light remains on, and after a short drive there was a burning smell and heat coming from the car. The local Nissan dealer will only work on it as customer pay, and will not do any recall work, said I need to go to the infinity dealer 2 hours away. I just notified Nissan corp today of the issue and waiting for their response.

At about 60 speed on the highway, all engine lights came on and the engine turned off. The car steering wheel locks up. I pulled over to the shoulder and successfully restarted the car after about 10 attempts. The car started again and ran well for another 10 minutes. Again, at about 60 miles per hour, the engine halted and I had to change 3 lanes to get to a shoulder. The cars behind me were coming at full speed while my speed was going down fast. There seems to be a recall for this model year, make, and model, but Infiniti dealership is telling me that my VIN # is not included in the recall. I have seen many people online with the same exact problem.
Even though fuel gauge shows a full tank of gas the tank was actually empty and I ran out of gas. This was very inconvenient but more importantly could have been very dangerous for every passenger in the car, had I been on the freeway or other roads traveling at a high rate of speed to suddenly be out of gas. One other related issue is the engine service light. Tried to get the vehicle smogged but was told that a few codes came up on the meter. One was camshaft position sensor. One other one showed the fuel sending unit/sensor to be faulty. In regards to this issue, it would seem that just replacing the sending unit may not be a guarantee that the fuel gauge will properly function. Car can not be smogged without these items corrected at high cost. These issues need to be addressed properly from the Infiniti/Nissan company. Thank you.
