What owners say
I had recently had some work done on my car to replace the right bearing wheel and the power steering line, as there was a leak and loud roaring noise when driving on the highway as confirmed by the mechanic. About a week later, I was driving on the highway (at about 65 MPH) when all of a sudden I felt a jerking in the car, suddenly the engine light turned on, and the the temperature gauge shot all the way up. I pulled to side of the road as soon as I could because I saw white smoke coming from under the hood. I had bought this car about 2 years ago from my uncle and I had taken the car to the dealer for the takata recall. They never mentioned anything else. Then about a month before this all happen my uncle sent me a letter (as he had moved away, regarding another recall on the i35. I was planning on taking the car to the infiniti dealer for the recall after replacing the power steering line and front right wheel bearing. However I did not even get a chance to do so. I would really like to know if my situation has anything to do with a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 infiniti i35. While driving at approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact coasted to the side of the road and the vehicle came to a complete stop. The contact was able to start the vehicle when abnormal pressure was placed onto the steering wheel and the starter key. The vehicle was inoperable. The contact had a certified mechanic diagnose the vehicle. The mechanic diagnosed that the cam shaft sensors failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred and the electrical system stalled as well. The engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle's failures were similar to the consequence mentioned in the federal safety agency campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.
I have had two transmissions in this 2002 infiniti i35 and now may have to have the third. Summer of 2011 I experienced intermittent issues with the engine racing and the transmission apparently disengaging, with no power to the wheels. First time I took it to the dealer they couldn't detect any problems as there was no service engine soon warning on the dash board so their computer couldn't detect a problem. Happened again and the technician told me not to turn the ignition off when I got to the shop but to let the engine keep running. He drove the car back to the shop and hooked it up to the computer. The problem was diagnosed as the torque converter clutch function code along with p0720 and p1574, check engine light concer ' ip006, (failing), and I was told I had to have both a torque converter and a transmission. The price for a new one was too high and I opted for a used torque converter/transmission and now, 5/2/2012, less than a year later I am having the same problem as before. Several times this loss of power to the wheels has happened when pulling into traffic and is extremely dangerous. Another issue is the suspension and steering. I have had to replace the struts because the front end would vibrate veer left and right and lose some control over the steering when driving over rough pavement. Even after strut replacement the issue still persists. August of 2011 around the same time transmission was replaced I had to replace the radiator which burst at a seam. It was replaced before the transmission and at a different shop, and not at the dealer's shop.

- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- 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.
