2004 Infiniti G35: multiple warning lights

Filed Apr 10, 2015 · Brakes, Electrical · 88,000 miles · DC

I drove to baltimore from dc and back with no issues, then turned to go into the alleyway behind my home. All of a sudden, the steering wheel locked and would not turn and all the lights on the dashboard came on, including the brake light. My brake pad froze midway down, stopping the car, but not budging, even when I tapped the gas pedal. I put on and off the parking brake, to no avail. I tried to move the steering wheel around, but could not. Then I tried to turn off the car and restart it, but it took me three tries. When I restarted the car, the brake pad started functioning normally again and the car has been normal ever since. Additionally, nothing like this has ever happened before.

Driving at approximately 30 MPH and my engine stalled with all the warning lights on. I had to pull over to the side with no power steering and brakes. Turn the ignition key off and wait a couple of minutes to start the engine. The "service engine soon" light stayed on. The dealer ran diagnostics and detected a bad cam shaft sensor.

I have owned my 2004 g35x outright for 9 years now. Bought it brand new in 2005. I have kept up all the maintenance, and have loved my car up until this point. I was driving on a two lane road, and decided to pass the car in front of me. My speed was approx 70 MPH and I had not quite passed them when the car lost all power. The vdc light/slip light/service engine light all came on. Dash lit up like a christmas tree. My steering was non existant, and had complete loss of power. Luckily no one else was on the road!!! And I coasted into a driveway. Waited a few minutes, and the car started up fine. Fast forward to january, and I was driving in rush hour traffic going about 40 MPH when the same thing happened. Luckily, again, I was able to get car to a safe place. The dealer said it was a failure on 2 sensors. Cam and crankshaft, the same sensors that had been recalled on the 2003 models and 2005!!!! Very harrowing, and frightening experience. Also memorable on my purse as the cost to fix was $770, however the dealer was kind to give me a discount and a loaner car, and good service. Shouldnt the 2004 been recalled as well!!!???? Seems there are a lot of other complaints with the same make/model and same defective part. I am glad I was not and that another car were not involved in an accident stemming from this defect. This car will clearly be out on the roads for awhile, as some might give it to their kids for their first car, even though it is 10 years old. I'm clearly concerned about the safety of this vehicle!

I was driving normally through town at 30 MPH when the engine just stopped and all the dash warning lights came on. Fortunately, I was able to safely coast into a parking lot off the road. I put the car in park and turned car ignition to off position. I turned it on again and the car started normally. I put the car into reverse and the engine immediately stalled. I put the car back into park and turned car ignition to off position. I waited a few more minutes, started the car and was able to drive home.
