Infiniti G35 loss of power problems

Filed Jul 12, 2023 · Electrical · CA

Fuel gauge in instrument cluster malfunctioned, inaccurately reading more than half full. This caused me to run out of gas on a public road. In addition to the risk of becoming a stationary road hazard, I lost power brakes and steering when the gas ran out which caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealship or service center, however I had the sending units replaced which a mechanic said would fix the issue and it didn't. The gauge is still inaccurate. I have not had the cluster inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. I have researched the issue myself and learned that the cluster is commonly defective, I also have an intermittent left turn signal. There was a check engine light (P0462) intermittently on, which was temporarily fixed by replacing the sending units but has since come back. I don't know when they first appeared.

I have replaced the cam position sensor and the crank sensor and my car continues to stall causing the service engine soon light to appear with a loss of power and intermittent stalling. Infiniti has a recall for this problem (service bulletin: the federal safety agency: 03v455000 cam shaft sensor defective) but they say my car is not included. This is a safety issue because the car looses power and stalls intermittently. The problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion usually at highway speed with the cruise control engaged.

Fuel gauge does not work . It never goes below 2/3 full and could cause the car to run out of gas. If this happened when on the freeway it could lead to a dangerous situation as steering and brakes would be affected along with avoiding other vehicles if car lost power intraffic.

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).

While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions. On several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off. The "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared. I took it to my local infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened. The crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563.03, and infiniti says that without the federal safety agency telling them to pay for it, they refuse. This car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.

2004 infiniti g35 lost power when driving. Service engine soon light as well as vdc lights are on. It is hesitant to start after that. Has happened at least one time each during the last three times the car was driven. Major safety issue as the it has happened when turning at a major intersection. Luckily we were able to coast the car to the side of the road. Same issue exist on the 2003 g35 in which there was a recall for, but none exists for the 2004 models. Contacted infinit in which I was told there was no active campaigns for my model, except for the side airbags. Was told that this would be treated as a repair (subject to very high dealer costs) and not a recall. I have found many other post on the internet with the same issue for the same model and the same complaint that it is not addressed by infiniti. How has infiniti verified that this does not exist in other model, especially being so close the 2003 and 2004?!? This is a major safety issue.

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.

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.
