NHTSA Complaint #10560448 — 2004 INFINITI G35

I HAVE OWNED MY 2004 G35X OUTRIGHT FOR 9 YEARS NOW. BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2005. I HAVE KEPT UP ALL THE MAINTENANCE, AND HAVE LOVED MY CAR UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD, AND DECIDED TO PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY SPEED WAS APPROX 70 MPH AND I HAD NOT QUITE PASSED THEM WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE VDC LIGHT/SLIP LIGHT/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. MY STEERING WAS NON EXISTANT, AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. LUCKILY NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD!!! AND I COASTED INTO A DRIVEWAY. WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND THE CAR STARTED UP FINE. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY, AND I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. LUCKILY, AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO A SAFE PLACE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A FAILURE ON 2 SENSORS. CAM AND CRANKSHAFT, THE SAME SENSORS THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED ON THE 2003 MODELS AND 2005!!!! VERY HARROWING, AND FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. ALSO MEMORABLE ON MY PURSE AS THE COST TO FIX WAS $770, HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS KIND TO GIVE ME A DISCOUNT AND A LOANER CAR, AND GOOD SERVICE. SHOULDNT THE 2004 BEEN RECALLED AS WELL!!!???? SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND SAME DEFECTIVE PART. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT AND THAT ANOTHER CAR WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT STEMMING FROM THIS DEFECT. THIS CAR WILL CLEARLY BE OUT ON THE ROADS FOR AWHILE, AS SOME MIGHT GIVE IT TO THEIR KIDS FOR THEIR FIRST CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS 10 YEARS OLD. I'M CLEARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE! *TR
