The car began to sputter intermittingly loosing power. I was able to make it to the side of the road and ultimately into a parking lot - although I was nearly rear ended when the car stumbled.

NHTSA complaint #10222987, filed 2008-03, 24,000 miles“Nissan just started a recall for stalled engine. My car (2004 infinti G35) seems to do the exact same thing but it is not part of the recall and I took it to the dealer but they said there was no problem with the car. Now, the engine stalls once in a while and you have turn the car off and restart for it to work. I called Infiniti and they said can not do anything right now because it is not part of the specific recall. The car poses safety issue if it is to stall in the middle of highway, it will threaten safety of others including myself.”
