While driving my 2007 infiniti g35 tuesday june 25, 2019 the vehicle cut off while driving to work and home. Have had no prior problems and it had low miles at purchase.there is a loss of acceleration power and the vehicle hesitates, the steering wheel locks, and vehicle runs with a high idle, and the check engine light stayed on. This happened on the expressway as I was driving which is extremely dangerous.the vehicle has a defective camshaft sensor/evt control sensor/ evt control magnet retarder. I have photos, still shots pics, videos of myself driving and the engine cutting off while driving without notice due to the defective cam shaft sensor. I have pics of me on the highway due to engine shut off. I have photos of the truck that almost slammed into my car on the highway. I have videos of the check engine light currently on. I have a photo of the diagnostics the day I arrived which nalley infiniti in marietta ga is double charging me $161.00 for a diagnostic I already received. They are charging me $2298.06 for repairs. I have recall graph from infinity north america inc showing the number of recalls within the last 15 years. I gave a copy of this email along with supporting evidence to my family in the event of my death involving a fatal accident resulting from the faulty defective camshaft sensor/ evt control sensor/ evt control magnet retarder. I notated that I informed nalley infinity as a owner and consumer, and they knew about about the recall, but they did not do their due diligence by replacing the defective sensors while the vehicle was not in my care before I purchased and they won't honor or extend the recall #06v394000, 01v357. I've owned vehicle for 2 1/2 years and less than 39,000 miles at purchase. I want nalley infiniti to totally repair under warranty. Car is at dealership via tow truck on 6/25/19. Started 6/22/19 problem got worse rapidly.

There is hesitation, almost stalling, when I am either going slow, when I am taking off from a stopped position, or when I am going up a hill behind vehicles at a light, so I am starting and stopping becaue we are not getting through the light. This should be a recall and not just a bulletin. This is very dangerous. If I try to pull out and my car hesitates, stops, or stalls it can put me and other drivers in danger. I cannot understand how this issue has not been made a recall. I've had it fixed once already and the issue is happening again. There have been many complaints regarding this exact same issue bulletin # itb11-018. I should not have to pay for having a safe vehicle to drive because they made it wrong. Hesitation is a safety issue because it can cause the car to not take off properly from lights or pulling out onto streets. Please resolve this issue quickly. This happens every single time I drive the car. Thank you.

There is a hesitation when accelerating from stop and the vehicle is warmed after about 10 minutes of running. When tachometer hits 1100 rpms the engine sputters down to about 800 RPM and jerks forward. This does not appear to be a transmission issue as this happens every time whether in drive, park or neutral. Vehicle has only stalled once so far. There appears to be reports of this being related to a rear timing belt shield gasket. This is very concerning with the vehicle stalling.

Engine hesitate, and stall at low RPM, low speed. When stop the car at the traffic light then you start to accelerate to move the car, the engine will hesitate and sometime stall.

I own a 2007 infiniti g35 sedan. The vehicle hesitates/stutters/surges when slowly accelerating from a stop. This mainly occurs when the engine is cold (after a cold soak). The failure occurs while turning or driving forward and was noticed at 5-30 MPH and rpms are between 700-1800. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions and they "could not duplicate failure." this is dangerous as the vehicle engine surge could cause a collision.
