2003 Infiniti I35 Engine Problems

“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.”

“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. …”

“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.

Service department stated it was a bad cam sensor that needed replaced. Researched this and found that nissan/Infiniti had recalled I35's for bad crank shaft / cam sensors under recall r3021/03v-455. …”
