Filed Sep 3, 2020 · Electrical · 108,346 miles · NC

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 approaching to intersection traffic light, slow down form 35mph to stop saw the green signal, try to move by applying the accelerator car does not move. On the dash I saw the lights ABS and tcs off coming up and going every 3 seconds. Turn on the emergency lights hit the break put the car to parking & put to the d gear it moved slowly and other two lights came on seat belt light even though was wearing it, and air bag light came on. Even if I apply accelerator no noise of humming nothing, was able to safely move to the nearest place (gas station at the intersection) & able to park. After parking it I turned off the car and open the hood to see was everything alright with my car at this time I felt the strong smell of some wire or plastic burned ( felt the same smell while vehicle started to stall at the intersection but was not that strong). Everything looked alright. Let it cool down a bit then checked fluids, all the fluids were ok. Tried to crank did not start, all the light stays on and as I tried to crank all the lights on the dash flashes but does not turn on. Tried by putting into neutral and cranking it turned on about to move and ABS tcs off lights started flashing every 3 seconds. Parked back and turned off.

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.

While driving about 40-50 MPH the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. I pull over to the road side and was able to restart after several attempts. The service engine soon warning light was not illuminated. Later I found 2 pending dtc p0340 stored in ECM and contacted infiniti hotline. I was told there was no recall for my vehicle and I should file complaint to the federal safety agency. I also found many complaints by infiniti i35 owners on internet about the same engine stalling problem caused by failed camshaft sensors. The infiniti recall #03v455000 does not apply to my vehicle.
