05 g35 auto sedan. Gas gauge not reading amount of gas correctly for the last 5 years. Wasted over 900$ in parts. New and used to try and get it fixed. Nothing worked. Replaced fuel pump, level sender units and instrument clusters 3 time. Upset the federal safety agency and mfr. Are not recalling to fix this issues. A lot of vehicles having same life threatening problems. Folks in forums and youtube and social medias all talking about it, but yet no one's doing anything. After three times my car stalled on me I had enough, because it's matter of time when the next one end in deadly consequences. 1st time car ran out of gas on highway 99 and a car behind me almost hit me from behind. The gas at the time was reading 1/4 and no low gas indicator lights up. Car shudder with no acceleration when gas pedal is press down. Then all electrical and power went out with no control except for hard steering. I managed to pull to shoulder from the car pool lane before car died. Luckily there weren't many cars on the freeway that moment it started dying on me. 2nd time it happened on the main street and same symptoms as first time as above. Then I looked at my gas gauge and it says 1/2 full! But car ran out of gas and again I managed to pull to a safe area away from traffics. Only this time I was thinking I had enough gas bc it was reading 1/2 of gas left in the tank. But no gas indicator lighted up and car spudder and all lights on dashboard came on and eventually came to slow down and died. I kept trying to start the car but all it did was just crank and cranks, but doesn't turnover and start. 3rd time it happened to me on the highway again. This time a car came within 1ft. Of ramming me from behind as it swerved away honking at me when my car ran out of gas. I looked at gas gauge and was reading 3/4 full and again no low gas indicator lights up. Same symptoms as previous 2 occasions. Please recall.

What owners say
11/28/2019: the navigation system/center stack reset and immediately after all the dash lights lit up and the vehicle went into limp mode. The vehicle was blocks away from home and we were able to drive it back without issue. Took it to an infiniti dealer who said it was transmission related. Repairs were declined as this did not sound accurate and I wanted a second opinion. Transmission shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission. An independent shop also looked it over and could not find anything wrong. 7/1/2020: the center stack turned off and back on and car engine died. The vehicle was pulled over. Most warning lights were on and the air conditioning was on full blast and couldn't turn it off. Tried to turn the car off and it wouldn't turn off. The engine kept running. Drove the vehicle home and the speedometer was inop and all lights were on but car seemed to drive ok at that moment. Once home the car wouldn't turn off. You'd press the button and the dash lights would turn off but the engine would keep running. Eventually got it turned off. Then couldn't start it back up. Eventually got it started and only had first gear. Brought it back home, fought with turning it off and then back on. Finally got it running and it drove fine. Let the vehicle sit several days and drove it to an independent shop on 7/8/2020. On the way to the shop it drove fine but the check engine light was on. I feel there is some type of electrical issue going on with the vehicle. I can report back once the shop has more time to try and diagnose a problem, but a car randomly turning off is a major cause of concern.
My car has been stalling while driving at low speed. Several warning lights come up (check engine light, slip light, battery light) and then the engine shuts down completely. Upon placing the car in park, I am able to re-start it. This is a major safety issue. I believe my car is part of recall number 03v455000 - engine and engine cooling. However, my VIN is not part of the recall, but I am experiencing the same issues associated with this recall. This needs to be re-addressed. I have children, and I am worried that this issue can cause an accident, especially while I am driving on the freeway. I have seen various similar complaints related to this issue with infiniti.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 infinti g35. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds , the engine stalled while all the warning lights illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the crank shaft sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the camshaft sensor failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.
Driving car then it stalled. Tried to restart and all lights came on (engine, vcf, slip-light). Wouldn't start for 2 minutes. Once restarted, engine light stayed on. Drove car to get diagnostic test. Diagnostic says camshaft position sensor. Researched and found same happenings on 2002 & 2003 models; infiniti has recall on those. Called about my VIN and infiniti claims that my VIN is not included in recall.
I drove to baltimore from dc and back with no issues, then turned to go into the alleyway behind my home. All of a sudden, the steering wheel locked and would not turn and all the lights on the dashboard came on, including the brake light. My brake pad froze midway down, stopping the car, but not budging, even when I tapped the gas pedal. I put on and off the parking brake, to no avail. I tried to move the steering wheel around, but could not. Then I tried to turn off the car and restart it, but it took me three tries. When I restarted the car, the brake pad started functioning normally again and the car has been normal ever since. Additionally, nothing like this has ever happened before.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 infiniti g35. The contact stated while driving at an unknown speed, the engine stalled and multiple warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to restarted, but the failure recurred. The contact was made aware of the federal safety agency campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. However, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti g35. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled and all the lights on the dashboard illuminated. The vehicle was restarted. The contact diagnosed that the cam position sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Driving at approximately 30 MPH and my engine stalled with all the warning lights on. I had to pull over to the side with no power steering and brakes. Turn the ignition key off and wait a couple of minutes to start the engine. The "service engine soon" light stayed on. The dealer ran diagnostics and detected a bad cam shaft sensor.
I have owned my 2004 g35x outright for 9 years now. Bought it brand new in 2005. I have kept up all the maintenance, and have loved my car up until this point. I was driving on a two lane road, and decided to pass the car in front of me. My speed was approx 70 MPH and I had not quite passed them when the car lost all power. The vdc light/slip light/service engine light all came on. Dash lit up like a christmas tree. My steering was non existant, and had complete loss of power. Luckily no one else was on the road!!! And I coasted into a driveway. Waited a few minutes, and the car started up fine. Fast forward to january, and I was driving in rush hour traffic going about 40 MPH when the same thing happened. Luckily, again, I was able to get car to a safe place. The dealer said it was a failure on 2 sensors. Cam and crankshaft, the same sensors that had been recalled on the 2003 models and 2005!!!! Very harrowing, and frightening experience. Also memorable on my purse as the cost to fix was $770, however the dealer was kind to give me a discount and a loaner car, and good service. Shouldnt the 2004 been recalled as well!!!???? Seems there are a lot of other complaints with the same make/model and same defective part. I am glad I was not and that another car were not involved in an accident stemming from this defect. This car will clearly be out on the roads for awhile, as some might give it to their kids for their first car, even though it is 10 years old. I'm clearly concerned about the safety of this vehicle!

- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling 204,361 my 2007-2008 altima, altima hybrid, 350z, 350z roadster, my 2008 altima coupe, rogue, my 2009 murano, and infiniti my 2007-2008 g35 sedan, my 2008 g37 coupe and ex35 passenger vehicles equipped with continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (ocs) control units. A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the air bag control unit (acu).
- Risk
- This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will test the signal between the ocs and acu systems using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary, the seat cushion (containing ocs hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification. The recall began on november 4, 2008. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261 or infiniti at 1‑800‑662‑6200.
