Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
When the vdc off and slip light are on along with the service engine soon light the car loses power when accelerating under 40 MPH and will shut off while driving on street or highway. Car also stalls for a period of time when cutting car on. This is really dangerous for my family and other families. Please find out something soon also seen a recall for same problems with 2003 infiniti g35. So why isn't this covered for the 2004?!
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 infiniti g35. While driving 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the camshaft position sensor failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 01v357000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,006.
As previously mentioned and depicted copious times on multiple sites, my 2004 g35 (built in 2003 and purchased 11/03 w/ only 43,544 miles) stalls w/o warning. Engine and vdc lights show only after engine stalls. If idle rpms are increased to 1,000, to prevent stalling, the engine idle lopes noticeably. This safety issue has occurred both while stopped (stop lights/signs) and while driving 4 out of the last 4 times driven. Research indicates the fix consists of camshaft position sensor and crankshaft angle sensors. It is patently obvious that regardless of mileage (I.e. 100k+ or in my case 43k miles) the engine will stall, jeopardizing the safety of the driver and passenger(s) resulting from being hit by other vehicles, thereby endangering the occupants of any/all vehicles. This issue should not be the causal factor for individuals being hurt/maimed/killed due to an obvious engineering/manufacturing error by nissan/infiniti, nor should an owner be held responsible for a blatantly obvious manufacturer's defect's, by being required to pay for a system beyond their control and the sole responsibility of the actual manufacturer. Please research the warranty and repair orders, as well as the myriad of the exact same complaints by consumers, reflected on on-line sites and forums. This should not be required to rise to the level of the air bags, exploding gas tanks, etc...resulting in significant injury or death. Respectfully.
Car will shut off while driving vdc and check engine light will come on brakes makes whole car shake when applying the brakes

This just started for me, I was driving along in traffic on the highway when all of sudden my car just loss power and wouldn't accelerate. Not yet stalled but going about 2 MPH, I was able to get it to the side of the highway. It ended up stalling out when I stopped, I couldn't get the vehicle started, it was acting like it didn't have gas, but it did. A light saying vdc (slipped) turned on as well as the service engine soon. I experienced the total loss of power while accelerating. Needless to say I took it to the dealership. They charged me stating that it was all fixed but it did the same thing on saturday 9/12/15. 2004 is not a year impacted by the recall yet I'm having the same issue as the 2003 recall.
