Infiniti G35 hesitation problems

Filed Jul 2, 2019 · Driver assistance, Electrical · GA

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.

The engine stalled with out warning while I was driving. Now the service engine soon, vdc, and slip light comes on, the engine sometimes will not start, I've also experience reduced power and hesitation. I have seen a recall for the exact same problem for my year and model, but not for my VIN.

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.

My vehicle stalled while driving creating a very hazardous situation. Engine restarted with hesitation and vdc, slip, and service engine light came on and remained on. I was told by dealer that it was due to a faulty camshaft position sensor and parts and labor for a new one would cost an estimated $500. There is currently a recall on 2003 models for the same problem, recall #03v455000. As I have seen other complaints for this issue on other models, it should be investigated and an updated recall for other model years needs to be enforced. This is a potentially dangerous malfunction. This is unacceptable and could result in several lawsuits.

Vehicle stalled while in motion creating a danger on the roadway. Restarted, but the engine hesitated before turning over. Check engine, vdc & slip warning lights were displayed and remained on. Dealer inspected vehicle and determined a faulty cam sensor and remedied to replace costing almost $500. There is currently a recall on the 2003 model which had the same problem. Recall #03v455000. Infiniti will not correct the problem at their expense without a recall. It should be assumed newer models will exhibit similar problems as the original recall. I hope subsequent models will be added to the original recall. Most owners are not aware of reporting these issues until serious injuries occur and there's litigation. Please investigate and pressure manufacturer to issue a recall.

The vehicle started hesitating and stalling for no apparent reason. I would be driving for variable amounts of time, from 5 to 20 minutes, when the engine power would just cut out. This was at stoplights, while doing highway speeds, and everything in-between, there does not seem to be any consistent reason. Based on research on various websites, it appears to be a camshaft or crankshaft sensor. Only the sensor, not any mechanical failure. This is a serious and dangerous flaw when a sensor causes your vehicle to stop working while driving in rush hour traffic and other highly dangerous times.

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.

Purchased car, used, 6/2011. Was told it was a owner buy back due to it not starting. Finance manager guaranteed problem had been fixed. In september 2011 car started hesitating to start-requiring me to let my foot off brake/clutch. Instrument panel would illuminate but car would not start. It could take up to 6 times of the brake/clutch easement for car to start. On 11/19/11 I brought car in to atlantic infiniti to get another key made and to inform them radio would not hold a station (fade) and would not pick up stations. I returned 1/5/12 due to radio still not functioning. I also informed them of the brake/clutch issue. Dealership could not find anything wrong with radio but d a part in the clutch was replaced. Radio continued to function improperly. 1/27/12 car would not start. Headlights would not come on, unable to unlock trunk and intelligent key would not work. Car towed to orlando infiniti. My car was at dealership till 2/6/12. Dealership addressed radio and replaced antenna amphifier & replaced clutch pedal position. Days later radio started malfunctioning again. 2/23/11 car would not start. As before, no lights, could not unlock car nor trunk. Aaa called & they could not start car. Car was jump started & diagnostic test performed. Nothing was found. Car driven home and it was towed to orlando infiniti the next day. As of today, 3/6/12, car still at dealership and they can not find anything wrong. I believe the electrical system is malfunctioning, particularly the ground. I have asked infiniti to check this but they have not. I no longer trust this car and infiniti is not being proactive. They are waiting for my car to not start to research issue. Their statement to me "we go out everyday and start it". I have put in several calls to infiniti USA and have not received a return call.

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.
