Engine became inoperable while driving causing a major safety issue. Several warning lights came on simultaneously (check engine light, slip light, vdc light) at the time. Car was able to be restarted with some trouble. Problem repeated itself (stalling, loss of power, starting difficulty) over next couple days, although warning lights never went off. Independent mechanic identified problem as cam position sensor failures & advised there was a the federal safety agency safety recall (the federal safety agency campaign id 03v455000) for the problem with 2003 g35s, but that my VIN was outside the campaign recall vins. He suggested I contacted infiniti. I contacted both dealer and infiniti national customer service who acknowledged there was a cam position sensor problem with 2003 g35s, but because my VIN was not in the campaign they refused to do anything to address the safety issue. I had the dealer replace the cam position sensors at my expense (about $1500). There are a number of similar complaints filed with the federal safety agency about this problem with no apparent resolution with infiniti. The recall campaign 03v455000 needs to be extended to cover all problem vehicles.

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 the federal safety agency 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.
