While driving at around 40mph, my 2005 nissan 350z (41xxx miles) shut down completely. No power, brakes, steering, anything. I glided to a stop and pulled over as best as I could. Every indicator light came on: check engine, service soon, tire pressure, etc. I was on a flat, busy city street going straight when this happened. Prior to this, I had no indication of a potential problem. No check engine light, etc. I called aaa and after about 20 minutes, decided to see if it would start so I could move to a safer place. It started right up. I've since been able to start and drive but this was extremely dangerous. Had this happened on the freeway, it could have been a catastrophe for me and the drivers around me. It's a very concerning safety issue. I've read it is ongoing with nissans the same age as mine. Some were recalled and repaired but I looked up my VIN and it's not covered. Taking it to a dealer tomorrow but appreciate any help reporting and resolving this issue. Thanks.

My wife was driving the 350z on the highway and slowing down with traffic ahead. The engine stalled all of a sudden. The cars behind could have smashed into her and kill her. Luckily that did not happen. I searched the internet, it looked like there were many cases of 350zs stalling. Internet told me that it was caused by faulty camshaft position sensor, which was exactly what nissan dealer in dublin california replaced. In fact they replaced both camshaft position sensors. Check engine light did not come on when the vehicle stalled as indicated by the dealer. The engine would not start despite many tries. After 10-15 minutes or so, the engine started and the check engine light came on. Some of the 350z was recalled. However dealer indicated that my VIN number is not on the list. I feel the nissan should pay for my $674.44 repair bill as it is very dangerous for a vehicle stalling while driving.

In 2005, I bought a 2003 nissan 350z. In early november of 2011, I started having these problems. The engine would die suddenly while driving, the check engine and tcs lights would come on, and the car would run very rough once it did decide to start. I took the car into a nissan service center on 11/08/2011. The mileage according to the service invoice was 83,906. Along with the problems noted above, the service technician added diag p0340 and c1130 stored, loss of engine signal. Replaced camshaft and crankshaft sensors. My cost for the repair: $618.61. My car had not one, but every symptom of a recalled car. The camshaft and crankshaft sensor (very specific repairs) were needed to correct the problem; same as a recalled vehicle. After bringing this to nissan's attention, I was contacted by a regional manager who stated my car was not on the recall list and she could not help me.I hope no other vehicles engines shut off while on the interstate.

On may 8th brought my car to the local colonial nissan of medford, ma and they diagnosed the car with a fuel issue, which did cost me $1,200 the next day they called me to bring the car back as they had forgotten to tighten up a few things. Went back and left the car there for a few hours. The next day may 11th, the check engine light turned on and had to bring the car back to the dealer. I was informed that the transmission has failed due to a widespread defect where coolant leaks into the transmission, causing transmission failure. When that coolant mixes with transmission fluid it creates a toxic hell stew that destroys the transmission. Given the october 2012 class-action lawsuit, nissan is asking that I pay $3,000 to fix the transmission. I did also pay for another part, which did cost another $250. So within a week I paid $4,450 to fix my car, while I was never notified of this issue by nissan and I am the first owner of this car.
