THIS JUST STARTED FOR ME, I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR JUST LOSS POWER AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. NOT YET STALLED BUT GOING ABOUT 2 MPH, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT ENDED UP STALLING OUT WHEN I STOPPED, I COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT DIDN'T HAVE GAS, BUT IT DID. A LIGHT SAYING VDC (SLIPPED) TURNED ON AS WELL AS THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON. I EXPERIENCED THE TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. NEEDLESS TO SAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGED ME STATING THAT IT WAS ALL FIXED BUT IT DID THE SAME THING ON SATURDAY 9/12/15. 2004 IS NOT A YEAR IMPACTED BY THE RECALL YET I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2003 RECALL.

I EXITED THE BELTWAY (I495) AND THE ENGINE QUIT WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PROCEED. . A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE QUIT AGAIN AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE MANUAL AND IT SAID I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHECKED HE COMPUTER CODES AND SAID IT WAS A CAM SENSOR, A CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR A VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR OR COMBINATION OR ALL THREE. THEY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM. I SEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THAT INFINITI RECALL 3021 WAS ISSUED AS WELL AS RECALL 01V357. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE CAR POSES A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. WHY ISN'T THIS COVERED BY RECALL?

I'M ASTOUNDINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND 2004 G35 I'VE OWNED AND THE FIRST ONE I PURCHASED BRAND NEW, OWNED 9 YEARS, DROVE 230,000 MILES AND HAD NONE OF THESE ISSUES/FAILURES WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO A HAPPY NEW OWNER ... ALTHOUGH IT WAS A G35X. THIS IS HOW I KNOW THESE ARE IN FACT FAILURES/DEFECTS IN THIS SECOND ONE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY RECENT DAMAGE OR KNOWN PROBLEMS, YET THE LAST FEW DAYS EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN STARTED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS REMAINING LIT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT DECIDES TO GO OFF ON THE DASH. IT LINGERS AND THEN FINALLY GOES OUT. IT HAS BEEN VERY RAINY AND HUMID HERE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AND WE ARE A STATE TARGETED FOR TAKATA RECALL, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS "NOT ONE" ALLEGEDLY. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY! THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN 2 DIFFERENT INCIDENTS OF PERFORMANCE FAILURES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (FORTUNATELY) WHERE THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, THE DASH LIT UP WITH THE VDC SLIP AND OTHER LIGHTS, NO STEERING WAS AVAILABLE AND I WAS STRANDED IN TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART TEMPORARILY AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SIT UNTIL IT WOULD RESTART. THIS WAS A DANGER TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS. THIS NEVER HAPPENED IN MY OTHER G WITH OVER 230,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW ALSO DECIDED TO LOWER AND RAISE ITSELF ON ITS OWN. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T REPLICATE, OF COURSE. THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE AROUND 115,000 MILES. NEVER FAILED ON MY G35X IN THE 230,000 MILES. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT ON THIS ONE AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I READ. AN LED SHOULDN'T FAIL LIKE THIS OR ALL THESE OTHERS I READ. WHEN IT'S A DEALER ONLY ITEM AND COSTS APPROX. $400 TO BE INSTALLED ~ IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES AND HELP US. I'VE HAD 2 ... HERE'S PROOF..
