NHTSA Complaint #11092047 — 2006 INFINITI G35

INFINITY G35 SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING VCD LIGHT COMES ON SLIP LIGHT COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE G35 DIES, LOW POWER, OR SPUTTERS AT LOW OR SLOWING ENGINE SPEED E.G. WHEN SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS, OR TURNING (USUALLY ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC!). I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE IT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A SHARP RELEASE OF THE ACCELERATOR, AS WHEN PUNCHING IT TO PASS THEN RELEASE, OR REACHING SPEED LIMIT, AND RELEASE, FROM ACCELERATION LANE. ONCE RIGHT AFTER ENTERING THE FREEWAY, I WAS SETTING MY CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT SPUTTERED AND I WAS AFRAID IT WAS GOING TO DIE BUT IT FINALLY KICKED IN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW THE ECM CODE BUT IT INDICATED: CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY OTHERS WITH THIS CODE OR PROBLEM? LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, MINE IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY OF THE RECALLS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE COMPLAINT OF STRONG GAS SMELL PRIOR TO THIS CODE/ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR OR NOT, BUT THE SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE CABIN IS VERY STRONG WHILE DRIVING AT TIME. THE GAS FUMES CAN BE SMELLED OUT SIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN NOT IN MOTION EITHER AFTER JUST STARTING OR PARKING THE VEHICLE.
