2007 Infiniti G35

I was at stop light and G35 jolted. At the next light the car completely turned off and all the power of the car went dead. Nothing was lit at all. Had a power boost with jumper cables and the car started right up. Luckily I was a few blocks away from the house, but it was scary since my kids were in the car and the car turned off crossing the intersection. The car turns on, but I am not trusting in driving it anywhere. There is not check engine light on or warning. I was told battery was fine a C1109 code came up, stating low voltage. Possible issues with the ABS or crank position sensor, which under o1v357 recall, these cars were impacted, but this Infiniti was not included, and it should have been. I exclusively took auto to Infiniti for maintenance until around 2018 and I never had them mention anything to me about these issues.

11/28/2019: THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM/CENTER STACK RESET AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER ALL THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS BLOCKS AWAY FROM HOME AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK WITHOUT ISSUE. TOOK IT TO AN INFINITI DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION RELATED. REPAIRS WERE DECLINED AS THIS DID NOT SOUND ACCURATE AND I WANTED A SECOND OPINION. TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOKED IT OVER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AN INDEPENDENT SHOP ALSO LOOKED IT OVER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. 7/1/2020: THE CENTER STACK TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND CAR ENGINE DIED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER. MOST WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON FULL BLAST AND COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INOP AND ALL LIGHTS WERE ON BUT CAR SEEMED TO DRIVE OK AT THAT MOMENT. ONCE HOME THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF. YOU'D PRESS THE BUTTON AND THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF BUT THE ENGINE WOULD KEEP RUNNING. EVENTUALLY GOT IT TURNED OFF. THEN COULDN'T START IT BACK UP. EVENTUALLY GOT IT STARTED AND ONLY HAD FIRST GEAR. BROUGHT IT BACK HOME, FOUGHT WITH TURNING IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. FINALLY GOT IT RUNNING AND IT DROVE FINE. LET THE VEHICLE SIT SEVERAL DAYS AND DROVE IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP ON 7/8/2020. ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP IT DROVE FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I FEEL THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE. I CAN REPORT BACK ONCE THE SHOP HAS MORE TIME TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM, BUT A CAR RANDOMLY TURNING OFF IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF CONCERN.

ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE SWITCH AND WHEN I GO TO PUT IT BACK UP IT WILL NOT GO. I HAVE TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY WAIT 30 SECONDS AND THEN PLUG IT BACK FOR IT TO WORK. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THAT IT HAPPENED I WENT TO THE CAR SHOP AND THEY CHARGED ME $700 TO FIX THE MOTOR THEN 2 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE FIFTH TIME AND FINAL STRAW THAT IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY ON 6/12/2020 WHEN I HAD MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN CAR ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT WENT DOWN AND ALL THAT WIND HIT HER FACE AND SHE STARTS CRYING AND I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO SHOULDER WHERE I WAS AT AND IT WAS ANOTHER 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE NEXT EXIT SO NOW I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT FOR IT NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35X. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GEORGE HARTE INFINITI (1076 S COLONY RD, WALLINGFORD, CT 06492, (203) 495-6700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $5,500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. *LN *TR

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.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I HAVE A 2007 INFINITI G35 WITH 144000 MILES, NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENT BEFORE. RECENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I TOOK IT TO THE INFINITI DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT WAS BAD, AND WOULD COST SEVERAL THOUSANDS DOLLAR TO FIX. AFTER DOING RESEARCH IT SUGGESTS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT MANY INFINITI/NISSAN OWNERS ARE CURRENTLY HAVE. NISSAN HAS RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR VERY SELECTED VEHICLE BUT I THINK A WIDER RANGE OF RECALL SHOULD BE DONE BY INFINITI/NISSAN.

WHEN I PRESS BRAKE PEDAL DOWN THE BRAKE STARTS TO SLOW THE CAR, BUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE BRAKE IS COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR JUST KEEPS GOING. BRAKES COMPLETELY GONE. I HAD TO USE THE E BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR FROM SLAMMING INTO ANOTHER CAR IN AN INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF AND ON TO A SIDE ROAD WHERE I CALLED AAA FOR A TOW. THAT UNFORTUNATELY WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST WAS IN A DRIVE THRU. I WENT TO STOP AT THE WINDOW AND LITERALLY JUST KEPT ROLLING LIKE I WAS NOT EVEN PRESSING THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO PANIC AND FRANTICALLY PUMPING BRAKE WHEN FINALLY I SOMEHOW HAD BRAKES AGAIN AND THE CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. VERY SCARY. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO INFINITI AND THE LADY ON THE CHAT LIVE SAID SORRY THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU. I HAVE READ BLOGS AND BLOGS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I DON'T GET HOW THIS IS LEGAL AND NOT RECALLED. I HAD MY CHILD WITH ME THE DAY I USED THE E BRAKE HE WAS SO SCARED HE DIDN'T WANT TO RIDE IN THE CAR AGAIN.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FAST LANE DURING EVENING COMMUTE, MY INFINITY MALFUNCTIONED - RANDOM ENGINE SHUTOFF. THIS MALFUNCTION DISABLED ALL FEATURES OF VEHICLE - LIGHTS, STEERING, BRAKES, AIRBAGS, AND MORE. (THE PREVIOUS SECTION ONLY LET ME SELECT THREE AFFECTED PARTS) LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST VEHICLE TO A STOP ON THE INSIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, BEING INJURED MYSELF OR WORSE. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED FROM SCENE. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT A VARIETY OF INFINITY VEHICLES FROM 2005 TO THE CURRENT YEAR HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME MALFUNCTION ISSUE AND THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR LATER YEARS. I CONTACTED INFINITY REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE NOT COVERED. REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE CAUSE OF RANDOM SHUTOFF (SOME SORT OF FUEL SENSOR) AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL INFINITY YEARS/MODELS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. INFINITY SUGGESTS I BRING VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT WILL BE SUBJECT TO HOURLY RATE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS/REPAIRS.
