NHTSA Complaint #11011159 — 2003 INFINITI I35

I BOUGHT A 2003 INFINIT I35 A YEAR AGO AS MY FIRST CAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE DYING FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE NO REASON. NO WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED A WEEK AGO. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT DIED A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT WOULD NOT TAKE A JUMP. NO FLUIDS WERE LOW. NO CABLES OR TERMINALS WERE LOOSE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED. AT THE TIME IT HAD 216,000 MILES ROUGHLY. WHEN I DID RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH INFINITI MODELS 2003-2004 THAT HAD FAULTY CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT I HAD WERE MATCHING UP TO THE THOSE OF THE RECALL. IT WAS HAPPENING TO THOSE MODELS HAVING 113,000-225,000 ROUGHLY. WHEN I SEARCHED WITH THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND INFINIT I FOUND THAT THIS WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN NUMBER. I THEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT IN FACT THOSE SAME SENSORS WERE FAULTY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION INCORRECTLY. SO NOW I HAVE TO WONDER WHY THEN MY 2003 INFINIT I35 WAS NOT RECOGNIZED AS BEING AFFECTED BY MY RECALL WHEN I NOW HAVE PROOF THAT THE SAME SENSORS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL ARE IN FACT FAULTY.
