Car stalled while driving down the road at a speed of 30 mph. diagnostic test revealed codes for camshaft/crankshaft position sensors. vehicle not included in recall. mechanic verified that the sensors failing were the problem. car towed to home. sensors have been replaced and failed again!
The check engine soon light, slip warning, and the esc light all came on and the car shut off while i was driving. i steered the car to the side of the road. tried to restart the car. it restarted, but the start was tepid. drove the car to work. made an appointment with the infiniti dealer. drove to dealer and the event happened again but did not stall. service department stated it was a bad cam sensor that needed replaced. researched this and found that nissan/infiniti had recalled i35's for bad crank shaft / cam sensors under recall r3021/03v-455. though close, my vin did not fall into the covered population, even though the described issue in the recall is exactly what happened to me. the dealer is not able to replace the sensor under the recall. why is this? how is it determined what vin's fall into the population? it is clear that i and others are having the exact same issue as was noted in the recall. *tr
Recall - nhtsa campaign id number: 03v455000. engine stopped while driving in normal conditions which could have caused a catastrophic accident. loss complete control of the vehicle and the "slip" light, "tcs off" and "check engine light" all came on with complete engine failure while driving with no ability to regain control. i took the car to a mechanic and was told there is a code "p0340" - camshaft position sensor failure. infiniti corporate had issued a recall # r3021 for this major issue. when i called infiniti corporate to take part of this serious recall and service my vehicle, they did not want to help claiming that they did not mark my vin # for the recall. this is a major issue with most infiniti i35's and many nissans as well. infiniti seems to not care and has put my life in complete jeopardy. *tr
I'll start the car, then start to drive; maybe after 15-20 minutes, the car will stutter and act like its about to cut off, like a jerking motion. from there the tcs, abs, slip, and engine light comes on; it'll resume to drive, after those lights come on, i'll be driving on the highway and the car just shuts off; i then have to put it in neutral (while at high speeds) then attempt to start the car again. after about two times while in neutral it'll start again. this is a very, very, dangerous situation; i have two small children that go everywhere with me! i contacted infinite consumer affairs and gave them the recall number and the campaign number and they stated that my car didn't fall into the range of vin numbers up for recall, when everyone else is complaining about the same exact thing; the only thing that the lady said is that my car is up for recall is the passenger airbag, help please! *tr
