While driving at any speed it will suddenly go into "slip " mode. The service engine, vdc off, and slip warning lights come on, the accelerator stops functioning and the engine coasts. This is extremely dangerous in traffic. There is an active campaign that I have included below on the same vehichles the previous year and some from 2004. When I contacted infiniti multiple times about my vehicle with the same problem they refused to include my car. 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. Remedy: dealers will replace the crank position sensors. Camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). Vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01v357, are also included in this new campaign. The replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. Owner notification began on december 22, 2003. Owners should contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261 or infiniti at 1‑800‑662‑6200. Notes: nissan recall no. R3022/infiniti recall no. R3021. Customers can also contact the federal safety agency's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1‑888‑327‑4236).

First, on 07/28/2012, at about 60 MPH while driving on the freeway, notice the vehicle's engine sort of stalled (saw the tachometer drop completely) for 1 second and resume operation. Continue driving but the slip, vdc and check engine lights came on. Continued driving the car to my destination, which was less than a mile from this incident. After a while, tried to start the car and it would not start. It took a few tries and finally did. Decided to go back home and as I was exiting the freeway at about 45 MPH (thanks good) the car's engine completely shut off (thanks god was exiting the freeway (don't want to think what could have happened with cars coming right behind me at about 70). Was able to restart the car after a few minutes and continued driving slow (on the streets) to my destination. The car now starts ok after a while but suddenly dies. Took the car to a repair show and it shows a p0335 code (crankshaft position sensor). My mechanic says, very common problem with this cars. ***same recall as in the 2003 model year*** what are we waiting for, for some one to die in a car accident for nissan's failure to correct this problem that was reported in the 2003 models??? I hope not. If I had children, I would transport them in this vehicle, ever!!!

I had the exact same symptoms, and the dealer recommended the same parts to be replaced as affected by an earlier recall: recall id# 03v455000 - engine and engine cooling recall date: nov 17, 2003 model affected: infiniti g35 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.

I was filling gas on my 2004 infiniti g35 coupe. After filling the gas tank ($35 worth), I started driving off only to be stopped by another driver 100 feet away fromthe gas station. The driver stopped me to let me know that my car was leaking gas. After looking at it, gas was just pouring from underneath my car, in less than minutes my gas tank was empty and the car will not start. After doing some research online, I read that there are recalls on the 2004 inifniti g35 (fuel leakage problems). However, after calling inifinity, they will not acknowledge the problem, but insteal indicated that there are no recalls and will offer to diagnose and fix my car for a fee. I think this is a major safety issue, as fuel line leakage could cause fires. Please help bring this matter to light. Thanks.

I have a 2004 gs sedan with about 2000 miles on it purchased in october 2003. In the last few days I have had three occasions when the accelerator floor boarded itself with no action on my part to cause such behavior. On one occasion the car was in cruise control at about 60, and accelerated to 90 before I could get the car under control. Pushing the brake pedal did not disengage the action. The second time the car was in cruise control at about 50 and the same thing happen as I gently pressed the accelerator to pass a car. The accelerator unexpected went to the floor, with resultant very sharp acceleration. This time I had to turn the ignition off, and coast to the side of the road. The car would not start since the accelerator was floorboarded. Finally got the accelerator to break lose by using the edge of my shoe sole and the car would restart, and then behaved normally for a period of time. The third time I was not in cruise control, had slowed for an exit ramp, and then gently pushed the accelerator to speed up. Again the accelerator floorboarded itself, with very sharp acceleration. I disengaged the behavior by again lifting the accelerator with the edge of my shoe. One could feel a pop each time the accelerator was lifted with the shoe. Took the car to the dealer who has now had it five days. Says he has not seen this behavior and his position is that unless he can replicate it himself there are no repairs to make. I will not take car back until dealer signs a letter validating that I consider the car unsafe to drive and that he will assume any liability for accidents related to the problem. Expect that this will lead to an impasse with the dealer.
