On the freeway with the wife, at ~60 mph, the engine stalls, characteristics very similar to recall. Had to put into neutral and restart car on the fly to avoid a major accident. Since then it has happened two more times, luckily while at a stop. Contacted infinity and was told that the VIN on my car was not affected by the recall, although I have the exact same issues. (even a camshaft sensor code popped up since and have had an issue turning the engine from a cold start once already). My car also suffers from the infamous fuel gauge issue which Infiniti doesn't even have a recall for yet. See recall from Infiniti/Nissan below: engine and engine cooling recall date: Nov 17, 2003 model affected: 2003 Infiniti M45 summary: on certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process. Consequences: this could cause the "service engine soon" warning light to come on, create a no start condition, cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the crank position sensors. Camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). Vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01v357, are also included in this new campaign. The replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. Owner notification began on December 22, 2003. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200. Potential units affected: 630000 notes: Nissan north America, inc.
