NHTSA Complaint #10555877 — 2005 INFINITI G35

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WASHINGTON, DC. MY CAR, FOR NO APPARENT REASON SHUT OFF AND A LIGHT "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE CAR WAS GOING TO CUT-OFF. IT SIMPLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO RESTART AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES. ABOUT THE 4TH TRY MY CAR STARTED AND I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION. THE "SES" LIGHT REMAINED ON. ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND A LIGHT THAT READ "SLIP" APPEARED ALONG WITH VDC ON/OFF. I HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS, BUT IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO BE IN TRAFFIC AND HAVE MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND MY CHILDREN ON BOARD. WE COULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN IN A REALLY BAD SITUATION HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND BELIEVE THIS SHOULD TRULY BE CONSIDERED AS A VIABLE RECALL. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WAIT FOR ANY ACTUAL ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED PROPERLY. *TR
