The tcs off/slip and service engine soon lights all came on simultaneously. I stopped by the store and had difficulty starting the car. I immediately drove to advance auto parts to have it diagnosed because it was right across the street. It was diagnosed as a cam shaft position sensor . Our mechanic recommended we contact Infiniti because there was a recall for this same issue (03v455000). …”
NHTSA complaint #10538354, filed 2013-09, 156,000 miles“I have had two transmissions in this 2002 Infiniti I35 and now may have to have the third. Summer of 2011 I experienced intermittent issues with the engine racing and the transmission apparently disengaging, with no power to the wheels. First time I took it to the dealer they couldn't detect any problems as there was no service engine soon warning on the dash board so their computer couldn't detect a problem. Happened again and the technician told me not to turn the ignition off when I got to the shop but to let the engine keep running. …”

I had the same problem in an i30 that I received as a loaner car from my delaership. I've also been told by a friend that he heard of a person with the same problem. During a conversation with Infiniti consumer affairs I was told that this was a known issue and that it is dealt with on a case by case basis. The service manager at the dealership stated that he knew this was a problem also.”
