Engine stopped running without warning. Lost all power while driving on the road. Service engine light soon came on along with several other warning lights, engine would not restart readily and then stalled again without warning. Had to have the car towed from the road for repair. The cam shaft sensor and crankshaft sensors were replaced. This is the exact same repair conducted under the recall 03v455000 for infiniti i35s for 2002 and 2003. Obviously this problem continued in cars produced in early 2004.

I was driving the vehicle today and the car started to stall. Several lights came on like service, engine light, break light. Then total shutdown. I took it to local mechanic and he suspects that there's a problem with ignition and key tumbler. This sounds a lot like the gm problem with weak key tumblers and causing sudden stall and crash. Please investigate if infiniti i35 2004 have similar problems and should be recalled.

I had the oil changed in june 2013. In early july my daughter said that the engine light came on and a day or two later the car was making loud noises from under the hood. We checked the oil and it was bone dry. We chalked it up to the last oil change as not having enough oil put in it. Well, 5 weeks later the same thing happened along with the oil light. I checked the oil and it's bone dry. All warning lights go off after putting oil in. The car is burning oil, a lot of oil very quickly with no residue on the driveway. I went online and many people are having the same problem, mileage should not be an issue. I have yet to bring it in to the dealer for fear that it will need an engine. Some light colored smoke comes out of the right side of exhaust. This is probably happening more than documented as owners may feel like there's not much to complain about with a 9 year old luxury car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 infiniti i35. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the illumination of the check engine warning light. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was advised to the contact that the cam shaft and crank shaft sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

The i35 was hard to start, tcs, slip and check engine lights stayed on. Dealer diag. Bank 2 cam shaft pos sensor failure. This problem appeared similar to the federal safety agency 2003 campaign number 03v455000. Dealer stated there were no recalls for this problem in 2004 i35. The 2003 campaign report date was 04 nov 2003. My i35 was manf. 07 oct 2003. I feel my 2004 cam shaft pos sensor should also be included in the 03v455000 or a new recall issued for it. The infiniti dealer would not cover the cost of replacing the failed cam shaft pos sensor.
