2003 Infiniti G35: won't start

Filed Jan 16, 2019 · Engine · 130,000 miles · AL

Hello, my 2003 infiniti g35 coupe is experiencing the exact issue that the federal safety agency campaign number:03v455000 (infiniti recall no. R3021) describes for the crank/cam shaft position sensors. My car will literally just die while driving at any given time! My steering wheel locks up, and I have to pull over with a stiff steering wheel to turn my car off & restart it. Sometimes, the car won't start becuase of the same issue. However, my local infiniti dealer and the infiniti customer service line have both informed me that they cannot fix this issue becuase my VIN was not listed on that recall. I bought this car around 6-7 years ago, so I would not have even been able to take it in to get fixed since they noted it was only 2003 for a certain time. This just recently started happening a few months ago, and I finally found the exact issue on your website. I verified that my cars computer noted that those specific sensors are bad! I'm very upset with infiniti not even caring to help one of their customers for a major safety and liability issue! This keeps happening over and over at random, and I'm honestly nervous to drive my car. This could easily pose danger to others or myself if the car does this while driving in the future! Please help!

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! Recall subject : nissan/crank/cam position sensor weld the federal safety agency 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.

The car simply died after pulling on to a busy highway. It would not start for several minutes. After taking the car to the infinity dealership I was informed that it was a cam shift sensor failure. Not just one, but two sensors. I understand that there was a recall for this model but I cannot get the infinity to comply with this recall and the subsequently charged me $500+ to replace the two fouled parts. Very disappointing.

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.

Something was draining the battery in the electrical system. One day while trying to start the car after it had been sitting for a few days, everything flickered (headlights, dashlights, control panel) and then the car wouldn't start. Charged the battery and then the radio, AC/heater/defroster did not work properly. Have seen many similar complaints on the internet.
