Infiniti I35 2003 — Problemas relatados

Camshaft sensor according to the Infiniti dealership (Ray Brandt on Causeway in Metairie La.) Is malfunctioning at makes the car engine die while driving. Then when you restart the car the engine revs fine in neutral but once in drive it won't go over 5 mph. Also the timing chain tensioner fails on this car and can cause severe engine damage while the car is being driven. I've looked up both of these problems and have spoken with Nissan and Infiniti and a simple internet search will also confirm that these 2 problems are extremely common on this 5th generation engine. Nissan even lost 2 class action lawsuits on the timing tensioner. Well if Nissan lost 2 court battles over an engine defect that every Nissan internet forum says is a very very common problem then why isn't there a recall. And shouldn't hazing headlights be a safety issue on ALL cars? Almost all cars have this problem and manufacturers keep building cars with UNSAFE headlights. Why aren't these recalls? Thank you for this website. As an American Citizen and consumer with a daughter these safety concerns are very troubling to me and all my friends and business associates.

2003 INFINITY I35 STALLS/DIES WITHOUT WARNING, SPITS/JERKS FORWARD, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TCS AND SLIP. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING BUT USUALLY STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AFTERWARDS. HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES HAVE REPLACED ONE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2003 INFINITI I35. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHCILE DECELERATED, LOSS MOTIVE POWER, AND STALLED WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED OF A CAMSHAFT CYLINDER MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,440.

REPLACED COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM, ALL O2 SENSORS, BOTH CAM SENSORS, FUEL PUMP WITH STRAINER, FUEL PUMP RELAY, SPARK PLUGS AND COILS, FUEL REGULATOR, HAD KEY PROGRAMMED, KEY ANTENNA REPLACED, VEHICLE FAILS TO START

MY 2003 INFINITY I35 STALSL WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AND BUSY STATE HIGHWAYS LOCATED IN THE GREATER HILTON HEAD SC AREA. IT REQUIRES COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. I THEN CAN RESTART THE ENGINE AND RETURN TO MY HOME AS SOON AS I CAN. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A RECALL NOTICE THAT DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM. SINCE DISCOVERING THE PROBLEM, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THEM TWICE NOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE. THE PROBLEM HAS AGAIN RETURNED AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY A 3RD REPAIR BILL TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT OTHERS ARE GETTING FIXED UNDER THE RECALL ( 03V455000). THIS IS GETTING EXPENSIVE, VERY DANGEROUS, AND ELIMINATES THE USE OF MY CAR BY MY WIFE. SHE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND I UNDERSTAND HER FEAR. WHAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF.

CAR SHUTS DOWN. OVER THREE YEARS AGO IT DIED WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE INFINITY DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS CAM SENSOR. HAD IT & CRANK SENSOR REPLACED. PROBLEM PERSISTED. TOOK BACK TO INFINITY & WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CYLYNOID. HAD THATBREPLACE. PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE INFINITI DEALER SAID THE TIMING CHAIN NEED REPLACED BUT MY CAR WAS NOT WORTH SPENDING THAT AMOUNT OF REPAIR. MY CAR IS WELL KEPT WITH IT JUST NOW TIRNING OVER 100,000 MILES. I GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM A CERTIFIED CUSTOM NISSAN/INFINITI SHOP. HE LAUGHED AT THE TIMING CHAIN SUGGESTION. THEY HAVE BUILT & REPAIRED THOUSANDS OF MY VEHICLE & OTHERS WITJ TIMING CHAINS ...CHAINS DO NOT HAVE ISSUES ON CARS WITH VERY LITTLE MILAGE & GRANDMA DRIVING STYLE!. THEY CHANGED THE SENSORS FOR ME AGAIN USING ORIGINAL INFINITI PARTS. MY CAR RAN FINE FOR 2 YEARS. NOW I FACE THE SAME PROBLEM ONCE MORE. UNFORTUNATELY BEYOND RECALL LIMIT THAT I AM CERTAIN THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHIN RECALL CORRECTION TIME LIMITS! MY CAR LOOSES ALL POWER & ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON (ENGINE, TCS, SLIP,BRAKE, ETC). SOETIMES IT WILL INSTANTLY COME BACK ALIVE. MOST TIMES IT IS JUST DEAD. SCENARIOS VARY: 60 MPH ON FREEWAY, SITTING AT RED LIGHT, UPON ACCELERATION, GOING 5 MPH, AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DRIVE TIME, AFTER DAYS OF DRIVE TIME, ... THERE IS NO PATTERN OR PETICULAR ACTION THAT CAUSES IT. IT IS VERY SCARY & DANGEROUS TO ME & ALL AROUND ME. NOW I HAVE A GREAT CAR IN LIKE NEW CONDITION WITH ONLY 100,000 MILES, PAID FOR, THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE WITH NO MONEY OR CONTINUE TO ENDANGER MYSELF & OTHERS. I AM FURIOUS. !!!! IS THERE NOTHING ELSE I CAN DO? IS THERE NOTHING THAT INFINITI CAN DO?

TAKATA RECALL--------MY BROTHER WHO LIVED IN NEW YORK CITY GAVE ME HIS 2003 INFINITI I 35 WHEN HE RETIRED FROM NY PD AND GAVE ME THE INFINITI. SO I DROVE THE CAR TO CALABASH NORTH CAROLINA WHICH IS 10 MINUTE DRIVE TO MYRTLE BEACH SOUTH CAROLINA. FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR SO NO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG HOWEVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON? SO I CALLED MY BROTHER AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR ALREADY HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACE PER THE RECALL. SO I CALLED INFINITI TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT THEY SAID I COULD GO TO A NISSAN OR INFINITI SERVICE. I GO AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WAS $125 FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. CALLED INFINITI BACK AND AGAIN I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND OWNED LOTS OF CARS NEVER ONCE DID I EVER HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AN AIRBAG! I HAVE OWNED FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CARS AND AGAIN NO AIRBAG PROBLEMS. WHAT ARE THE MATHEMATICAL PROBABILITY OF MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM ONLY A INFINITI I35 2003 BEING THE ONLY AIRBAG PROBLEM WITH ANY AUTOMOBILE THAT I HAVE OWNED IN THE LAST 40 + YEARS? THE MATH DOES NOT WORK THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT. IT'S THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT NOT MINE, WHAT DO THEY WANT ME TO DO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AGAIN? MY GUT FEELING TELLS ME THAT THEY DIDN'T REMEDY THE PROBLEM OR THE HEAT FROM LIVING IN THE CAROLINAS IS ADVERSELY AFFECTING MY AIRBAG. PLEASE IF YOU WOULD SAVE MY EMAIL JUST IN CASE I GET HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THERE SUBSTANDARD AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT INFINITI STATED THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF A PRE-EXISTING SUBSTANDARD AIRBAG PLACED IN 2003 I35. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

TAKATA RECALL : I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE NYS D OF M STATING THAT THERE WAS AN URGENT RECALL ON MY CAR, AND LISTING THE VIN AND MAKE, MODEL, YEAR. I CHECKED WITH YOUR WEB SITE AND FOUND NO RECALLS ON MY CAR. MY INFINITI DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND NO RECALL FOR MY CAR, BUT SAID THERE MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THAT MODEL, YEAR, ETC. BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. WHO DO I TRUST?

WHILE IN MOTION, MY VEHICLE STALLS/CUTS OUT COMPLETELY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

THE CAR LOSES POWER AFTER A WHILE AND WILL JUST STOP AS IF IT RAN OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, OTHERWISE THE CAR IS OK. THE MECHANIC SUSPECTS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CRANK POSITION OR CIRCUIT BOARD. THERE WAS RECALLS ON THIS MODEL IN 11/2003 AND 12/2003 THAT DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO MY VEHICLE. THIS SLOWING DOWN TO STOPPING HAPPENED ON A MAJOR EXPRESSWAY AND I HAD TO BE TOWED. IT ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN IN MY STREET AND DRIVEWAY HAVING TO BE TOWED AGAIN.

MY VEHICLES CRANK/CAM SENSOR I BELIEVE HAS GONE BAD. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND IT WAS LIKE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BUT IT WAS NOT I COULD DRIVE 1 MPH, AND CAR WOULD NOT REV UP. I SAW THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS FOR INFINITIS MADE IN 2202-2003 BUT FOR SOME REASON MY 2003 INFINITI IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS! CAR NO LONGER WILL MOVE.

MY NAME IS [XXX] , I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER CONTAINING AN URGENT AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL ON MY INFINITI I 35 2003.

THIS HAPPENS TO BE MY ONLY VEHICLE AND IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING BECAUSE I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN, ONE WITH DISABILITIES AND THE OTHER IS AN INFANT! WE DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY FOR SPECIALTY APPOINTMENTS AND WORK! I NEED MY CAR REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND WHILE MY CARE IS BEING REPAIRED, I WILL NEED ANOTHER VEHICLE, AS THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE TO MY FAMILY!

I BOUGHT A 2003 INFINIT I35 A YEAR AGO AS MY FIRST CAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE DYING FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE NO REASON. NO WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED A WEEK AGO. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT DIED A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT WOULD NOT TAKE A JUMP. NO FLUIDS WERE LOW. NO CABLES OR TERMINALS WERE LOOSE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED. AT THE TIME IT HAD 216,000 MILES ROUGHLY. WHEN I DID RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH INFINITI MODELS 2003-2004 THAT HAD FAULTY CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT I HAD WERE MATCHING UP TO THE THOSE OF THE RECALL. IT WAS HAPPENING TO THOSE MODELS HAVING 113,000-225,000 ROUGHLY. WHEN I SEARCHED WITH THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND INFINIT I FOUND THAT THIS WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN NUMBER. I THEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT IN FACT THOSE SAME SENSORS WERE FAULTY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION INCORRECTLY. SO NOW I HAVE TO WONDER WHY THEN MY 2003 INFINIT I35 WAS NOT RECOGNIZED AS BEING AFFECTED BY MY RECALL WHEN I NOW HAVE PROOF THAT THE SAME SENSORS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL ARE IN FACT FAULTY.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY @55MPH WHEN ENGINE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND CAREENED OFF THE ROAD ALMOST HITTING A HOUSE. WHEN I WENT TO START THE ENGINE IT HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY ( TOOK ABOUT 30 SECONDS ) WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, TCS AND SLIP LIGHTS WERE ON. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR AND CAM POSITION SENSOR IS FAULTY BUT NISSAN AND GOVT. FAILED TO ADD THE PROPER VIN NUMBERS TO THE RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS THE 30TH CAR HE'S SEEN WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT IT WAS WHEN HE SAW THE COMBINATION OF INDICATOR LIGHTS AND VEHICLE PROBLEMS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I COULD NOT STEER OR ANYTHING. IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR. IT JUST STOP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET; WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CALLED THE USED CAR DEALER WHOM HAD JUST SOLD ME THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 MONTH WHOM HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. THEY INDICATED THEY FIXED ONE OF THE SENSOR & THERE WAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT DROVE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, NOW IT IS CONTINUOUSLY DOING THE SAME THING, SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON & SLIP/ TCS. THE VEHICLE HAVE ENDANGERED MY LIFE ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT TIME FOR THE SAME REASON WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THRU THE SAME THING. THE DEALER DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I HAD TO FIND IT OUT WHEN TRYING TO TRADE MY VEHICLE.

AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT TURN MY CAR DIED SUDDENLY. I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. SINCE IT STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ANYTHING OF IT. SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED IT OUT AND THOUGHT HE HAD FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAD NO ISSUES FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME AND I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, I KNEW SOMETHING HAD TO BE WRONG. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT, SLP AND ESC LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTS JERKING FORWARD AND THEN THE CAR DIED. I MANAGED TO STEER THE CAR FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND PULL OVER. IT WAS A REALLY STRANGE AND SCARY FEELING. I TOLD MY MECHANIC WHAT HAPPENED AND HE SAID CARS JUST DON'T DIE AS YOU ARE DRIVING THEM AND I SAID WELL THIS ONE DID. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN AND THE CODE P0345, CAM SENSOR CAME UP. AFTER BRINGING IT IN A FEW TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT, SLP AND ESC LIGHT ALL COMING ON AND THE CAR JERKING FORWARD WE DECIDED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THE CAR. OUR RESEARCH SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND WE SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY SAID MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR INFINITI TO OWN UP THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH OWNERS DRIVING A CAR AND IT DYING SUDDENLY? OBVIOUSLY IT WILL TAKE A FEW SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TODAY HOPING THAT THEY WILL FIX THIS ISSUE. WHEN I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT WAS HAPPENING HE SAID YOU HAVE A TECHNICAL ISSUE AND IT IS NOT A RECALL. *TR
