I HAVE A 2003 INFINITI G35 AND THIS PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WHICH ALMOST LED TO A VERY BAD DEADLY CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO THEN MOVE TO THE SIDE OF FREEWAY, I THEN WAS TOWED TO A INFINITI SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE (CRANK/CAM POSITION SENSOR WELD) AREA LOCATED NEAR THE ENGINE AND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL WITH THIS CAR, I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT INFINITI CORPORATION AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP ME, AND I AM LOOKING TO SEEK FURTHER ASSISTANCE. AS LISTED ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE, WHEN SEARCHING THE SPECIFIC MODEL MAKE AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE IT IS LISTED AS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL! (HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV/) RECALL SUBJECT : NISSAN/CRANK/CAM POSITION SENSOR WELD NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 COMPONENT(S): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING ALL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL EXPAND DETAILS CLOSE 14 ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS EXPAND MANUFACTURER: NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. SUMMARY: 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. CONSEQUENCE: 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. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING NO BRAKES STEERING OR WARNING WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL OF THIS PART THIS IS A REAL DANGER AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED I ENDED UP FIXING THIS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE TIME OF THE STALL. THE ENGINE KICKED BACK ON WITHIN SECONDS. WITHIN MINUTES, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN SITTING IDLE AT A LIGHT BUT DID NOT KICK BACK ON. HARD RESTART. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS BAD. PAID $400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE. *JS

I HAD PULLED UP TO DRIVE THRU WINDOW AT THE BANK AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WHEN I FINISHED MY TRANSACTION I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULDN'T MOVE. I FINALLY SHUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE SHIFTER WORKED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I HAVE STARTED MY CAR AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE. IT IS INTERMITTENT. I ALSO HAVE AN AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FLASHING AND HOPE THEY WILL INCLUDE MY VIN # IN THE RECALL BUT THEY HAVEN'T SO FAR. EVEN IN THE EXPANDED RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHY. WHEN DOES OUR SAFETY BECOME IMPORTANT? MY STEREO/CD PLAYER ALSO STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO REPLACE THAT. WHAT GOOD DOES ALL OF THESE REPETITIVE COMPLAINTS DO IF THE AUTO COMPANIES AREN'T MADE TO REPAIR ALL OF THEM? *TR
