2003 INFINITI G35 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

AS I WAS ACCELERATING TO ACCESS HIGHWAY, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE. IT WAS AS IF I WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I KEPT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND IT SLOWLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND SEEMED FINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR DIED. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS I WAS IN THE CARPOOL LINE AT MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL. CAR WAS RUNNING, WHILE I WAITED AND IT SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. WHEN I RESTARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON. I CHECKED MY MANUAL AND THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE GAS CAP WASN'T ON TIGHT ENOUGH OR BAD GAS. FILLED UP MY TANK AND A FEW HOURS LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT. TODAY THE CAR DIED AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, HOWEVER IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. RESEARCHED RECALL INFORMATION AND CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 03V455000. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 INFINITI G35 AND THIS PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WHICH ALMOST LED TO A VERY BAD DEADLY CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO THEN MOVE TO THE SIDE OF FREEWAY, I THEN WAS TOWED TO A INFINITI SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE (CRANK/CAM POSITION SENSOR WELD) AREA LOCATED NEAR THE ENGINE AND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL WITH THIS CAR, I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT INFINITI CORPORATION AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP ME, AND I AM LOOKING TO SEEK FURTHER ASSISTANCE. AS LISTED ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE, WHEN SEARCHING THE SPECIFIC MODEL MAKE AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE IT IS LISTED AS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL! (HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV/) RECALL SUBJECT : NISSAN/CRANK/CAM POSITION SENSOR WELD NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 COMPONENT(S): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING ALL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL EXPAND DETAILS CLOSE 14 ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS EXPAND MANUFACTURER: NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. 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. CONSEQUENCE: 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. *TR

PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE POWER STEERING ALSO WENT OUT. EVERYTHING ELSE INCLUDING THE ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO STILL WORK.

I OWN A 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR IS CONSUMING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL. I AM POURING TWO QUARTS OF OIL IN IT EVERY 3 - 4 DAYS. AT THIS POINT, THE OIL IS LEAKING INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER PRODUCING WHITE FUMES OUT THE TAILPIPE. I REACHED OUT TO INFINITI?S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO AN AUTHORIZED INFINITI SERVICE CENTER FOR EVALUATION. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO AN INFINITI SERVICE CENTER AND TOLD THE SERVICE REP MY CAR COMPLAINT. HIS IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS DO CONSUME A LOT OF OIL. AFTER THE CAR'S EVALUATION, THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE BLOCK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF DAMAGED OR WORN PISTON RINGS. I ASKED THE SERVICE REP WHAT COULD CAUSE A SOPHISTICATED, EXPENSIVE MACHINE TO REQUIRE A MOTOR REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 126K MILES. THE SERVICE REP REPLIED THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO INFREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND/OR DRIVING THE CAR FOR LONG PERIODS WITHOUT OIL BOTH OF WHICH DO NOT APPLY TO ME. I THEN REACHED OUT TO THE INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT FOR SOME RESOLUTION TO WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER A TRAVESTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER CITING TWO REASONS - (1) NOT BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF INFINITI BECAUSE MY LAST SERVICE VISIT WAS IN 2009 AND (2) THE VEHICLE IS WAY OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF I WAS THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS CAR THAT WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND NUMEROUS POSTINGS, MOST OF WHICH CLAIM THAT NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. *TR

FIRST DEFECT: WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AND THE RADIO, HEATING AND COOLING BUTTONS. THE FAN WOULD COME ONTO HIGH AND SWITCH TO AIRCONDITIONING. I COULD NOT TURN IT DOWN OR TURN IT OFF OR TURN ON MY DEFROSTER WHEN IT WAS 30 DEGREES IN THE MORNING WHICH MADE MY VISIBILITY VERY POOR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP WAS TO PULL THE FUSES. WE CHECK THE RECALL HISTORY AND FOUND THAT IT WAS ONLY A COURTESY RECALL AND WOULDN'T BE COVERED EVEN AFTER READING THAT HUNDREDS OF G35 OWNERS WERE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAD TO HAVE THE RADIO ELECTRONICS REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND SENT OUT TO BE FIXED. I THINK THIS ISSUE WOULD BE CONSISTED A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE HEAT OR A DEFROSTER. SECOND DEFECT: THE PROBLEM STARTED WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING AND IT WOULD STALL. THEN 3 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT 50MPH THE CAR TRIED TO STALL AND IT LOST ALL POWER AND THEN THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING SERVICE NEEDED. THE CAR SEEM TO LACK POWER. DID A RECALL CHECK AND FOUND THAT ALL THE CONDITIONS POINTED TO THE CAM SHAFT POSITION CENSOR FAILING. WE CHECKED THE VIN# AND OF COURSE MY CAR ISN'T ONE THAT IS ON THEIR RECALL LIST FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAVE ON OTHER G35 MODELS. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN YOU STALL AND HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. EVERY ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH MY CAR HAS BEEN ON THE COMPANIES RECALL LIST BUT NOT MY VIN # FOR SOME REASON. THIS ISSUE TO NEED TO REVIEWED AND CORRECTED. THIRD DEFECT: WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED TWICE IN THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT OPERATES THE ELECTRIC WINDOW. NOW THE RIGHT DOOR WINDOW IS NOT WORKING. IF IT DOES OPEN IT WILL GET STUCK AND WE HAVE TROUBLE GETTING IT TO COME UP. WE HAVE TO KEEP IT LOCKED TO AVOID IT BEING OPENED. *TR *JS

I'VE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE WHERE THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR START FINE WHEN I DO A COLD START BUT WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP THE CAR STALLS AT TIMES. I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF THE STORIES FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. THE CULPRIT ARE EITHER THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH I HAD ALREADY REPLACE THREE YEARS BACK, THE 2 CAM POSITION SENSORS AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CAM POSITION SENSORS AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I'M HOPING THAT MY VIN# IS PART OF THAT RECALL. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS CAR IS THE RADIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THAT I RECENTLY HAD CHANGED WITH THE FACTORY RADIO ATTACHED TO THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THE RADIO WOULD STOP WORKING. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND THE AC UNIT WOULD TURN ON BY IT SELF. I RECENTLY JUST INSTALLED AN AFTER MARKET RADIO. WITH EVERYTHING AFTER BUYING WHAT WAS REQUIRED TO DO A DOUBLE DIN CONVERSION AND INSTALLATION. IT COST ME A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY. ANOTHER ISSUE THIS CAR HAS IS THE SEAT BELT ISSUE. IT DOESN'T RETRACT PROPERLY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IT'S A CHORE JUST TRYING TO PUT ON THE SEAT BELT. *TR

IN APRIL (2010) I NOTICED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WAITED AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED. I WENT HOME AND I PLANNED ON TAKING MY CAR TO THE INFINITI SERVICE CENTER THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE INFINIT SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO REPLACED. I REPLACED IT THAT DAY AND THEN SEVEN MONTHS LATER IN NOVEMBER MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO REPLICATE THE SAME MALFUNCTIONS. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY BECAUSE I HAD JUST HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED. SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY, BUT MY CAR CONTINUED TO NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES. THEREFORE, I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK UP TO THE INFINITI SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION B2 WENT OUT. I HAD THAT REPLACED AS WELL. *TT

THE CAR IS A 2003 INFINITI G35. MY WIFE WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED. TRAFFIC COMING THE OTHER WAY HAD TO ALSO STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND GET IT GOING AGAIN, ONLY FOR IT TO STOP RUNNING ONE MORE TIME BEFORE GETTING HOME. I PULLED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES FROM THE CAR. IT FAILED WITH A P0345 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT BANK 2. THIS SENSOR HAD A VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT FROM INFINITI ON THE SAME YEAR MODEL CAR, EXCEPT OUR VIN NUMBER FALLS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED, AS THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT SHOULD IT FAIL AT THE WRONG TIME. THE CAR DIES, WHICH MEANS YOU LOSE THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WILL REPLACE THE SENSORS AS THE DEALER I SPOKE WITH WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER THE VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE VIN NOT BEING COVERED. THERE ARE 4 OF THESE SENSORS ON THIS CAR SO THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. PLEASE LOOK INTO GETTING THE RECALL FOR THIS PART EXPANDED TO COVER ALL CARS. THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE TO NOT DO THAT. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY STALL OUT AT 50 MPH+ AND CONTROL OF POWER STEERING WOULD BE LOST (BATTERY LIGHT & VDC LIGHT WOULD COME ON DASH), RENDERING THE VEHICLE A DANGEROUSLY FAST MOVING LEAD SLED. POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD RESUME AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM YIELDED NO EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. AFTER CONDUCTING MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. THE SENSOR WOULD GET TOO HOT AND SHUT DOWN, CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF COOLING, POWER WOULD RESUME. APPARENTLY A TSE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE THE VIN FOR MY CAR SINCE IT WAS PRODUCED LATER IN THE MODEL YEAR. THE SENSOR (A $40 COST PART!) WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY AFTER PUTTING UP A FIGHT.

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2003 INFINITI G35 A FEW MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE I AM THE FOURTH OWNER. IT HAS RUN IMMACULATE UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. FOR SOME REASON THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TAKES ITSELF INTO AUTO MODE AND THE RADIO LIGHTS GO OUT, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL THAT CONTROL THE AC FUNCTIONS. I CANNOT USE ANY OF THOSE BUTTONS TO CHANGE ANYTHING. THE RADIO CONTINUES TO WORK AND I CAN STILL USE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO ADJUST THE RADIO, BUT I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE LIGHTS THAT TELL WHAT STATION IT'S ON NOR ADJUST ANYTHING FROM THE PANEL. THE AC GOES OUT OF MANUAL MODE INTO AUTO MODE, WHICH IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, AUTO IS A NORMAL FUNCTION, ADJUSTING ITSELF TO MAINTAIN WHATEVER TEMPERATURE YOU HAVE IT SET AT, BUT THE FACT THAT I CANNOT CHANGE IT BACK TO MANUAL MODE, NOR ANYTHING ELSE ON MY OWN AFTER IT GOES IN THAT MODE, AND TURNS OUT THE PANEL LIGHTS, MAKES ME THINK THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THANK GOD IT IS DEFAULTING TO ON AS IT IS SUMMERTIME AND OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE, BUT STILL GETS VERY COLD AND IS LOUD AT FULL BLAST. HOWEVER, IF THIS WERE WINTER MONTHS, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS AND OBVIOUSLY CAUSE SERIOUS DISCOMFORT IN HAVING FREEZING COLD AIR BLOW ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS/TECHNICAL SERVICES BULLETINS ABOUT THIS ON MYCARSTATS.COM AND WONDER IF THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS. SOME FOLKS HAVE STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATING TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD... OTHERS HAVE STATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE EQUIPMENT RELATING TO THIS BUT ONLY INCLUDED THE RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I HAVEN'T YET CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH I WILL DO, BUT AM HOPING THAT THIS IS COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT BY SEVERAL INFINITI OWNERS. *TR

THERE IS AN APPARENT KNOWN DEFECT IN THE 2003 INFINITI G35 MODELS. THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL WILL APPARENTLY LOSE ALL INDICATORS, AS IF THERE IS NO POWER, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION, STAYING FROZEN ON AT THEIR LAST SETTINGS. THE RADIO VOLUME OR CHANNELS CANNOT BE CHANGED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER,ETC. ARE STUCK ON THEIR LAST SETTINGS AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CONTROL BOARD BEHIND THE DASH. INFINITI/NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN (# ITB03-007B) TO REPAIR THE 26,300 VEHICLES LISTED BY VIN # ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS A HAZARD , AS IN THE WINTER, THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROSTERS CANNOT BE TURNED ON, OR THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF, CAUSING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. INFINITI SAYS MY 2003 VIN # DOES NOT FALL INTO THE BULLETIN PARAMETERS, (VIN # IS HIGHER), AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. INFINITI STATES THE COST TO REPAIR.........$2600.00. IT IS APPARENT THAT THE BULLETIN DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO COVER THIS DEFECT ON A LARGER QUANTITY OF VEHICLES THAN INFINITI WANTS TO ADMIT. *TR

1 WEEK AGO I'VE NOTICED A SUDDEN DEGRADE IN PERFORMANCE. THE CAR IS PROVIDING 1/2 AS MUCH POWER AS USUAL, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS OR GAUGES REVEALED ANYTHING. INSPECTED OBVIOUS THINGS LIKE FUEL, OIL LEVEL AND PURITY. 2 DAYS AGO *VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING, AND WAS HARD TO START AGAIN. IT TOOK ALMOST 1 MINUTE TO RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. CAR CONTINUED TO BE HARD TO START AFTER INSTANCES THAT IT WAS SHUT OFF. LAST NIGHT: *VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, DURING MY DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I'M LUCKY NO ONE CRASHED INTO ME. *TR

MY 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE CONTROL PANEL FOR OPERATION OF THE A/C, RADIO, ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, THE ENGINE THROTTLE IS UNABLE TO BE RESET. IT IDLES AT 1000 RPM AND DOES NOT REDUCE RPMS WHEN SLOWING OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES A SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR VEHICLE DO APPEAR ON A RECALL LIST, THE VIN NUMBER IS OUT OF RANGE SO THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE- LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING FOLLOWED BY "SLIP" AND VRC WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON. THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY. GOOD THING IT'S A MANUAL TRANMISSION AND I COULD COAST TO THE SIDE. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT . TESTS REVEAL BOTH CAM SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, THEY HAVE A EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. MY G35 CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES , THE CAR ONLY HAVE 66,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, INFINITI TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO DUE TO THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, READ ON FORUMS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF INFINITI G35 OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND INFINITI HAS NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT . THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAS RUN THEIR G35 3,000 MILE AND HAS DAMAGE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND INFINITI HAS TURN THEM DOWN. TELLING THEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT INFINITI G35 OWNER THAT PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR A DAMAGE CAR. *TR

OWNED A 2003 INFINITI I35. IT BEGAN TO STALL WHILE RUNNING, AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, STREET SPEEDS, AT STOP LIGHTS. MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT PROBLEMS CONTINUED. WE SOLD VEHICLE DUE TO ISSUES AND NEEDING RELIABLE VEHICLE. TWO MONTHS AFTER SELLING IT, OUR OTHER 2003 INFINITI, A G35 COUPE, BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. TOOK TO INFINITI DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ERROR WAS P0340 AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $600. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER MY VIN DID NOT FIT WITHIN RECALL NUMBERS. IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF RESEARCH ON WEB, I FOUND PROBABLY 10-15 OTHER OWNERS OF G35 COUPES THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE AND INFINITI IS SAYING, SORRY, BUT YOUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I CALLED INFIINITI, THEY STATED THAT EXACTLY AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY OTHER THAN PAYING FOR REPAIR OURSELVES. IT IS A SCARY, DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT CORRECTED, OR ANOTHER ISSUES AROSE, WITH THE RECALL. A G35 COUPE IS A SMALL, LOW-RIDING CAR, AND I HAVE A CHILD IN THE BACK. IF YOU ARE GOING AT INTERSTATE SPEED WITH A SEMI ON YOUR TAIL AND YOUR CAR STALLS, YOUR CHILD IN THE BACK, AND POSSIBLY YOURSELF, WOULD NOT SURVIVE THIS CRASH. INFINITI SAID, YES, THEY DID HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT STILL WOULD NOT REMEDY. I ASKED IF A PERSON HAS TO DIE BEFORE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY WE NO LONGER HAVE THE I35 TO PROVE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WE ARE GETTING THE G35 REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BUT I AM FURIOUS THAT THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR BY INFINITI. I WILL TRY TO RETAIN THE PART TO THE G35. *TR

I WAS GETTING OF THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2003 INFINITI G35 TURNED OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR THE CAR STRUGGLED TO START EVENTUALLY DID.

VCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURNED ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE CHECKED IT WITH THE COMPUTER GOT THE CODES P0011 AND P0340 CAM POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I TOLD ME THAT THE CAR MIGHT HAVE A DEFECT BECAUSE THAT YEAR AND MODEL WAS KNOWN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND I FOUND THE RECALL NHTSA # 03V455000. I CALLED INFINITI GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. MY CALL CLEARLY HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS STATED IN THE RECALL.

THIS IS REGARDING MY INFINITI G35 SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN INFINITI DEALER 5 MILES AWAY, WITH THE ENGINE STOPPING DURING OPERATION SEVERAL TIMES. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CRASH AND NOBODY WAS INJURED OR OTHER DAMAGE. AT THE DEALER, THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULT CRANK POSITION SENSOR, WHICH WAS A KNOWN ISSUE ON MY CAR. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN (01V35700) FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER SERVICED MY VEHICLE BY REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $334.65. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO REIMBURSE MY SERVICE UNDER THE EARLIER RECALL CAMPAIGN. I AM WRITING TO NOTIFY NHTSA OF THIS INCIDENT SO IT IS IN YOUR DATABASE. I AM ALSO REQUESTING THAT YOU REVIEW THE INCIDENTS OF FAILED CRANK POSITION SENSORS IN INFINITI CARS AND CONSIDER REINITIATING A RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

1) CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T A RECALL AND WILL COST APPROX. $800 DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING OF A CIRCUIT BOARD. 2) THE CLIMATE CONTROL AND RADIO ARE INOPERABLE ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME WE START THE CAR. I READ CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE SEDAN AND NOT THE COUPE. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HOPE THIS BECOME A RECALL SOON. *TR
