Example complaints

“I was driving the vehicle today and the car started to stall. Several lights came on like service, engine light, break light. Then total shutdown. I took it to local mechanic and he suspects that there's a problem with ignition and key tumbler. This sounds a lot like the GM problem with weak key tumblers and causing sudden stall and crash. Please investigate if Infiniti I35 2004 have similar problems and should be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10627093, filed 2014-08, 77,000 miles“While driving on 3 separate occasions my vehicle just stopped. First incident while drive on highway, my vehicle shut off, I was unable to steer or control the vehicle. While stopped, I restarted the vehicle. The second occasion , I was traveling 30 MPH and the vehicle just stopped. I restarted it. On the most recent occasion, january 13, 2015, I was at a red light, the car stopped running. When I restarted the car I experienced an electric shock through my car key. I am having a mechanic check out what is happening. This is extremely dangerous and frightening.”
NHTSA complaint #10672569, filed 2015-01, 94,000 miles“The I35 was hard to start, tcs, slip and check engine lights stayed on. Dealer diag. Bank 2 cam shaft pos sensor failure. This problem appeared similar to NHTSA 2003 campaign number 03v455000. Dealer stated there were no recalls for this problem in 2004 I35. The 2003 campaign report date was 04 nov 2003. My I35 was manf. 07 oct 2003. I feel my 2004 cam shaft pos sensor should also be included in the 03v455000 or a new recall issued for it. The Infiniti dealer would not cover the cost of replacing the failed cam shaft pos sensor.”
NHTSA complaint #10447950, filed 2012-02, 88,775 miles“Engine stopped running without warning. Lost all power while driving on the road. Service engine light soon came on along with several other warning lights, engine would not restart readily and then stalled again without warning. Had to have the car towed from the road for repair. The cam shaft sensor and crankshaft sensors were replaced. This is the exact same repair conducted under the recall 03v455000 for Infiniti i35s for 2002 and 2003. Obviously this problem continued in cars produced in early 2004.”
NHTSA complaint #11352968, filed 2020-09, 108,346 miles“The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti I35. While driving 80 MPH, the lights on the instrument panel illuminated and the vehicle lost power and stalled. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the computer system was replaced after three repairs; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.”
