Infiniti G35 won't start problems

Filed Jan 16, 2019 · Engine · 130,000 miles · AL

Hello, my 2003 infiniti g35 coupe is experiencing the exact issue that the federal safety agency campaign number:03v455000 (infiniti recall no. R3021) describes for the crank/cam shaft position sensors. My car will literally just die while driving at any given time! My steering wheel locks up, and I have to pull over with a stiff steering wheel to turn my car off & restart it. Sometimes, the car won't start becuase of the same issue. However, my local infiniti dealer and the infiniti customer service line have both informed me that they cannot fix this issue becuase my VIN was not listed on that recall. I bought this car around 6-7 years ago, so I would not have even been able to take it in to get fixed since they noted it was only 2003 for a certain time. This just recently started happening a few months ago, and I finally found the exact issue on your website. I verified that my cars computer noted that those specific sensors are bad! I'm very upset with infiniti not even caring to help one of their customers for a major safety and liability issue! This keeps happening over and over at random, and I'm honestly nervous to drive my car. This could easily pose danger to others or myself if the car does this while driving in the future! Please help!

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).

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.

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 was preparing to stop at a traffic light, going about 10 MPH, when my car shut off. I tried to start it, and it wouldn't start, but the "vdc off" light and "slip" light came on. After a few tries the car started and I was able to make it a few blocks to a gas station, but the car didn't run very well at all. I couldn't get it to restart after parking it at the gas station and had to have it towed for repair. The cam sensor needed replacing, at a cost of about $500. The car ran fine for about 8 weeks, but then the "vdc off" and "slip" lights came on again, although the car seems to run o.k. The lights are still on and I'm afraid to drive the car more than a few miles until I have it repaired again. There was a recall on 2003 models for the same problem and this should definitely be investigated as a possible recall for newer models. It's a very dangerous, expensive problem.

I have done some research online. Lots of people are having or have had the same problem. Very prevalent. As you are driving the down the road the car starts to make some noise then it completely shuts down the motor, the check engine light comes on and does not start once it stops. There is no warning. It takes a while for the sensor to reset -- putting me and my vehicle in harms way. This happened to me on a very busy overpass. The vehicle shut down. I had a hard time steering and getting over out of the way. I was almost hit several times by other cars driving 50 plus MPH. I had to have the car towed. Once we got to the auto repair facility. It started again but then shut off. I was googling this symptom and the year, make model (2005 infiiniti g35 engine stall) and this was all over the internet. Several other people were put at risk of injury. I was convinced this was my problem, too. The auto repair facility ran a diagnostic and this was the code they got as well. I already knew what the problem was going to be. So my question is... Why has this not been recalled if? It is dangerous. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Thank god my daughter was not driving.
