I've had the same problems that other infiniti I-35s have experienced in regards to losing power, engine cutting off and lack of braking. My car initially stalled while I was parked at a red light. After a few attempts to restart, it finally did. I made an appointment to see the dealer about this problem four days later. While driving to the dealer, my car engine lights all lit up and the car stalled and I had no braking ability. Fortunately, I was going only about 10 MPH when this happened and was able to pull over to a lane without cars and applied my parking break to stop the car. After five minutes of attempting to restart, it finally did. I was only two miles from the dealer, so I slowly drove it there. They told me the problem was both crank sensors along with the crank shaft. I had them replaced at a cost of close to $1000. It seems to me that if there are so many complaints regarding this problem, it should be looked into as a safety recall issue. If I were going faster, I could have crashed into someone. One week before this happened, I was driving through mountain roads with many twists and turns. If this happened during that drive, I would probably be dead by now.
The car suddenly loses throttle control under normal driving conditions; the engine return to "idle speed". I was driving on the expressway and all of a sudden the check engine light came on and the car started slowing down. I pressed on the gas pedal all the way down but the car refused to accelerate. I managed to pull over and stop the engine. And then restarted the car and it seemed to work ok for a while and then did it again. I managed to get it to the dealer and it has been there since while they try to figure out why this is happening. This problem started happening about a year ago. The throttle body has been replaced 4 times in the last year; the throttle body contains the electric actuator for the throttle and the sensors that tell the computer the position of the throttle. I am really concerned about driving the car in traffic because it could suddenly "cut out" and lead to an accident.
