2008 Infiniti G35

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND AFTER MOVING OFF ABOUT 10 YARDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALL THE POWER EQUIPMENT STOPPED WORKING. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY MORE THAN 10 TIMES SINCE THEN, USUALLY WHILE STOOPED IN TRAFFIC, OR MOVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I HAVE CALLED INFINITI CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY DENY ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM OR ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. SO FAR, THE PROBLEM EXISTS AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT I AM FEARFUL IT MIGHT HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC A FEW TIMES BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING SLOW, 5 TO 15 MPH MERGING ONTO BUSY INTERSTATE 84 HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING THE BATTERY LIGHT, AND BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THE CAR LIGHTS, RADIO STILL WORK. PUT THE CAR IN PARK START THE ENGINE AND ITS STARTS UP AS NORMAL. THIS CAR HAS GONE TO THE DEALER, AND 2 OTHER SHOPS 800.00 LATER ITS STILL HAVING A STALLING ISSUE. I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD AND THIS ISSUE SCARES ME. *TR

MY 2008 INFINITI G35 AIRBAG AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I RESET THE LIGHTS AND CHECKED THE WIRING UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAME UP WITH CODE B1018, OCCUPANT SENSOR (UNIT FAIL) PAST CODE. THEY RESET THE LIGHTS AND RECOMMEND CHANGING THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM IF THE LIGHTS RETURNED. THE COST?....$6137 BUT THEY WILL GIVE ME A DISCOUNT, CHARGING ME $4176. THIS MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT MY CAR...ACCORDING TO THE VIN. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED SEP 2007, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES MANUFACTURED INTERVAL. I BELIEVE INFINITI SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ASSUME THE COST OF THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR BY INCLUDING IT IN THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TEN OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT POSITION TIMING WAS OVER ADVANCED FOR BANKS 1 AND 2. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

ACCORDING TO THE US GOVERNMENT, INFINITI RECALLED 2008 G35 FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH A SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS BLINKING. THE DEALER SAID THE RECALL HAS TO BE VIN SPECIFIC, AND THUS MY CAR WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. ISN'T A RECALL CAUSED BY A COMMON OR GENERIC PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN MOST OF IF NOT ALL CARS OF SAME MODEL AND SAME YEAR? IN THIS CASE 2008 G35? DEALER SAID I SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR FIRST AND THEN SEEK REFUND FROM INFINITI. $3500 OUT OF MY POCKET AND TAKE A CHANCE? SO HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING VIC SPECIFIC RECALL? *TR
