2003 Infiniti G35

The car engine cuts off / stalls while driving. This has happened multiple times. When driving on highway, the engine stops running, the car loses all power, and it is very difficult to restart the car. I had the car inspected and the local mechanic stated the crankshaft sensor/ camshaft censor is not working properly and he believed this was on recall, but Infiniti stated that my car is not covered. This is extremely dangerous - call stalls in the middle of the road with no power at all.

Twice while driving approximately 70 mph on the freeway, the engine shut off without warning and the service engine soon warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle coasted. There was no shoulder to pull over to. I put it in neutral and it restarted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the camshaft and crank sensor failed. I looked online and saw a recall for the cam shaft and crank sensors for the, 2003 Infiniti G35. However, when I called, I was told that my vin was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 230,000.

SOMETIMES, THE CAR WON'T START BECUASE OF THE SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALER AND THE INFINITI CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE HAVE BOTH INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIX THIS ISSUE BECUASE MY VIN WAS NOT LISTED ON THAT RECALL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AROUND 6-7 YEARS AGO, SO I WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN ABLE TO TAKE IT IN TO GET FIXED SINCE THEY NOTED IT WAS ONLY 2003 FOR A CERTAIN TIME. THIS JUST RECENTLY STARTED HAPPENING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND I FINALLY FOUND THE EXACT ISSUE ON YOUR WEBSITE. I VERIFIED THAT MY CARS COMPUTER NOTED THAT THOSE SPECIFIC SENSORS ARE BAD! I'M VERY UPSET WITH INFINITI NOT EVEN CARING TO HELP ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR A MAJOR SAFETY AND LIABILITY ISSUE! THIS KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AT RANDOM, AND I'M HONESTLY NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. THIS COULD EASILY POSE DANGER TO OTHERS OR MYSELF IF THE CAR DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING IN THE FUTURE! PLEASE HELP!
