NHTSA Complaint #10630721 — 2005 INFINITI G35

I WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START IT, AND IT WOULDN'T START, BUT THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT AND "SLIP" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A FEW TRIES THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT A FEW BLOCKS TO A GAS STATION, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T RUN VERY WELL AT ALL. I COULDN'T GET IT TO RESTART AFTER PARKING IT AT THE GAS STATION AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FOR REPAIR. THE CAM SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING, AT A COST OF ABOUT $500. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 8 WEEKS, BUT THEN THE "VDC OFF" AND "SLIP" LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN O.K. THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN A FEW MILES UNTIL I HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2003 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. *TR
