MY 2003 INFINITI M45 ENGINE STOPPED DURING OPERATION WHICH WAS VERY CONCERNING AT THE TIME DUE TO MY FINANCE AND CHILD BOTH IN THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURE DEALERSHIP THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY ENGINE TO CORRECT ISSUE. THAT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE OPTION SO I TOOK IT ANOTHER SMALLER AUTO SHOP TO GET A SECOND OPINION. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS ENGINE PROBLEM WITH THE CAM SHAFT SENOR AND THE TIMING BELTS. I DECIDE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. THE CAR FIRST HAD ENGINE FAILURE IN APR 10. I TOOK TO A AUTO SHOP AND THE CAM SHAFT SENSORS WAS REPLACED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. CODE P0021 WAS NOT ABLE TO BE CLEARED SO THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON.
