OCTOBER 3RD 2013 I WAS COMING BACK FROM LUNCH DRIVING BACK TO WORK. WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD DRIVING MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS STILL BEHIND ME. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED THAT DAY AS I DID NOT EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. I GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED ON OCTOBER 3RD 2013 TO R&S HERE IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME SATURDAY OCTOBER 5TH 2013 AND TOLD THAT MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS WHAT WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAS RECALLS ON CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFT AND TIMING VARIABLE. I ALSO CHECKED MYSELF AND THIS INFORMATION WAS TRUE. ONLINE RECALLS FOR YEAR WERE ENGINE AND COOLING AND AIRBAGS. I GOT MY CAR FROM CARMAX 2009 AND NEVER WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALLS SO THAT I COULD GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. MY CAR HAD ONE OWNER BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM CARMAX. I CALLED THE INFINITI TOLL-FREE CONSUMER LINE AND THEY DID NOTHING BUT SAY ITS VEHICLE SPECIFIC AND THAT THEY SEEN NOTHING FOR MY VIN NUMBER. MY VIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A RECALL AS I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES FOR RECALLS THAT NEVER GOT FIXED ON MY 2003 INFINITI I35 AND MY CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFT AND TIMING VARIABLE CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO STALL AND TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WANT THIS RESOLVED. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING LOCALLY AT NORMAL SPEED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS THOUGH WE RAN OUT OF GAS. WE WERE ABLE TO SLIDE SOMEWHAT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A WHILE, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOME KIND OF FLUKE. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS AND DO NOT DRIVE A GREAT DEAL HOWEVER WE THOUGHT ALL WAS WELL AND IN AUGUST WE ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY 95 TO CONNECTICUT AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AFTER WE ARRIVED AND WERE PULLING INTO A LOCAL MALL, ONCE AGAIN WE HAD TO BE TOWED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO US ON 95 WE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED IN THIS AREA LOCALLY AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED, AT NIGHT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED AND THE CAR TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE NEXT DAY WE SPOKE TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE DROVE THE CAR ALL OVER AND DID TESTING AND FOUND NOTHING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER. MY DAUGHTER OFTEN HAS HER BABY IN THE CAR AND SO EVEN MORE DANGER IS INVOLVED. I CONTACTED INFINITY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL BUT WE SAW MANY COMPLAINTS BY OWNERS ON THE WEB SEARCH, INFINITY 35 2003, WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE FATALITY TO FORCE SOME ACTION? *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY WITH MY FAMILY AND I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 60 MPH. OUT OF NO WHERE A TCS AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON THE I DECREASED TO 5 MPH WITHOUT WARNING AND COULDN'T GO FASTER. I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE PEDAL AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T DRIVE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CAMSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE FROM WHAT I SEE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT I'M BEING TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AN AFFECTED CAR. OTHERS HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME HAPPEN WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE AND I FIND IT STRANGE THAT BECAUSE OUR VIN NUMBERS WEREN'T RECALLED THAT WE ARE OUT OF LUCK. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 30- 35MPH AND SUDDENTLY CAR SLOWED DOWN WITH BRAKE LIGHT ON. I TURNED THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND MOVED TO RIGHT MOST LANE. SWTICHED OFF THE CAR. SWITHED ON BACK. IT WORKED FINE. IT HAPPENED TWICE WITH ME. ONLY WORRY IS THAT WHILE TRAVELLING ON FREEWAY IF CAR SIDDENLY SLOWS DOWN, WHICH MAY BE EXTERMELY DANGEROUS. SO NEED ADVISE WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BE DONE. *TR
