Recall number r2022 infiniti recall r3021 there is a recall for some infinitis but not mine but im having the same issues as this recall a failed camshaft position sensor and failed crankshaft position sensor like on the recall above except my VIN did not match the vehicles that were recalled although the dealership told me my vehicle falls into the make model and year of which the recall was made. Out of nowhere my car will shut off at high rates of speed and at low rates of speed without any warning my check engine light comes on as well as other lights and the code is for the crankshaft position sensor faulting and the camshaft position sensors faulting. The car can be in motion at 5mph or even at 70mph and the car will comnpletely die with no control over the vehicle as the sterring wheel locks up completely. Not sure why other infiniti g35 coupes were covered under this recall but im having the very same issues as the others with failed sensors

While driving on highway at a speed of 65 miles when my car shut off; I'm blessed that I was driving on a two lane highway and maneuver over quickly without another car rear ending me. After sitting for 10 minutes then the power kicked back in. What could be the issue......now the service engine soon light is on so is the slip and vdc light as well. I have been experiencing this problem for at a month while driving car cutting off. But this is the first time car completely cutting off and lights coming on (service engine, vdc, and slip) the check engine light is still on. My airbag light has been blinking since I took ownership of vehicle in november 2015. The current vehicle miles is 152,000.

While on the freeway, the car died with no warning then took several seconds to restart. When started, the vdc, slip, and engine light where all on. Car was taken to a private mechanic where 2 codes for the camshift position center were given. The car is hard to start and often dies during idle time. When checking on the recall, my VIN was not one listed, however it appears to have the same camshaft sensor identified by infiniti.

I exited the beltway (i495) and the engine quit with no warning. I was able to restart the car and proceed. . A few days later I was driving and the engine quit again and the service engine light came on. I checked the manual and it said I could continue to drive the car. I took the car to a repair shop and they checked he computer codes and said it was a cam sensor, a crank position sensor or a variable timing control sensor or combination or all three. They thought that this was a recall item. I searched and discovered that infiniti recall 3021 was issued as well as recall 01v357. The dealer said that my car was not covered under the recall. The car poses a safety issue to me and other drivers. Why isn't this covered by recall?

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!
