2007 Infiniti G35

WHILE DRIVING, MY INFINITI G-35 LOOSES ENGINE POWER AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT NOTICE ALONG WITH SUDDEN LACK OF POWER STEERING. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK A SHORT TIME LATER. SEVERAL CARS HAD TO SWERVE FROM HITTING ME. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS AND IT'S SAYING CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR/ CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING START HAPPENING OTHER TIMES SAME WAY. THIS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MAIN ROADS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALSO FLASHING RED AND HIGHLIGHTED PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT OFF IN YELLOW NEAR CLOCK. ENGINE SHUTTING OFF DUE TO CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WITH AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. ENGINE ALSO SHUTS OFF AT STOP LIGHTS.

I OWN A 2007 INFINITI G35 COUPE. IN AUGUST 2013, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF I-95 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT AS WELL BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND WAS TOWED TO THE A REPAIR FACILITY. THEY WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR WITH NEXT MORNING WITHOUT ISSUE. RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND NO CODE WAS INDICATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. IN JULY 2014, WHILE INCREASING DRIVING SPEED FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH - 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

AS I CAME TO A STOP SIGN ONE DAY AND BEGAN TO PROCEED DRIVING, MY CAR CUT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. AS WEEKS WENT BY THE SAME PROBLEM BEGAN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW EACH TIME I COME TO A STOP AND PROCEED TO DRIVE, THE CAR WILL CUT OFF IF I DON'T HURRY UP AND PUSH DOWN HARD ON THE GAS PEDDLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS MY CAR ALMOST CUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. EVERYDAY NOW WHEN I COME TO A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN I HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO HIT THE GAS PEDDLE EXTRA HARD TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CUTTING OFF ON ME. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAM SHAFT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MODEL INFINITY THAT I HAVE, AND I FOUND THAT THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM OF THE CAR CUTTING OFF. *TR

I OWN A 2007 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE VEHICLE HESITATES/STUTTERS/SURGES WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS MAINLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD (AFTER A COLD SOAK). THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE TURNING OR DRIVING FORWARD AND WAS NOTICED AT 5-30 MPH AND RPMS ARE BETWEEN 700-1800. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE FAILURE." THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE ENGINE SURGE COULD CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR

2007 INFINITI G35X PREMIUM 4DR ACCIDENT ON MARCH 13, 2011 IN PARKING LOT OF A CHURCH; AFTER I PARKED THE CAR, BEFORE CHANGING THE CAR TO PARK AND TAKEOFF THE SEAT BELT TO GO TO CHURCH. THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL; ACCELERATED, AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. I TRIED THE BRAKES ' AND IT JUST KEPT SPEEDING UP FORWARD, TOWARDS THE CHURCH BUILDING WHICH MAY HAVE KILLED THE ATTENDEES OF THE CHURCH SERVICE. I FINALLY TRIED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT WHICH WORKED, HIT A TREE, A CAR AND VAN THAT WERE PARKING IN FRONT OF CHURCH AND FINALLY STOPPED THE INFINITI. AS OF NOW INSURANCE & INFINITI DEALER CHECKED AND REPORTED THE CAR BODY DAMAGES, DID NOT CHECK ANY SOFTWARE SPEED CONTROL MALFUNCTION. THEY WANT ME TO APPROVE THE FIXES. I WANT A TRUE INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL ISSUES OF THIS MODEL OF INFINITI G35X 2007. KINDLY UPDATE ME WITH YOUR RECOMMENDATION --------- I FOUND SIMILAR CASES ON THE NET...

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND GOING DOWNHILL THERE IS A CONSTANT BRAKING FEELING THAT MAKES THE RIDE FEEL JERKY. NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE SAME EXPERIENCE AND DEA;ER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE. SUNROOF IS VERY NOISY WHEN OPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FLAP THAT POPS UP WHEN THE ROOF IS OPENED IS THE CULPRIT. WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN WITH YOUR HAND IT IS MUCH QUIETER. *TR
