NHTSA Complaint #10394498 — 2003 INFINITI I35

I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT OTHER INFINITI I-35S HAVE EXPERIENCED IN REGARDS TO LOSING POWER, ENGINE CUTTING OFF AND LACK OF BRAKING. MY CAR INITIALLY STALLED WHILE I WAS PARKED AT A RED LIGHT. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS TO RESTART, IT FINALLY DID. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOUR DAYS LATER. WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER, MY CAR ENGINE LIGHTS ALL LIT UP AND THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD NO BRAKING ABILITY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS GOING ONLY ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A LANE WITHOUT CARS AND APPLIED MY PARKING BREAK TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER FIVE MINUTES OF ATTEMPTING TO RESTART, IT FINALLY DID. I WAS ONLY TWO MILES FROM THE DEALER, SO I SLOWLY DROVE IT THERE. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS BOTH CRANK SENSORS ALONG WITH THE CRANK SHAFT. I HAD THEM REPLACED AT A COST OF CLOSE TO $1000. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. IF I WERE GOING FASTER, I COULD HAVE CRASHED INTO SOMEONE. ONE WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MOUNTAIN ROADS WITH MANY TWISTS AND TURNS. IF THIS HAPPENED DURING THAT DRIVE, I WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD BY NOW. *TR
