THE CAR IS A 2003 INFINITI G35. MY WIFE WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED. TRAFFIC COMING THE OTHER WAY HAD TO ALSO STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND GET IT GOING AGAIN, ONLY FOR IT TO STOP RUNNING ONE MORE TIME BEFORE GETTING HOME. I PULLED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES FROM THE CAR. IT FAILED WITH A P0345 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT BANK 2. THIS SENSOR HAD A VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT FROM INFINITI ON THE SAME YEAR MODEL CAR, EXCEPT OUR VIN NUMBER FALLS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED, AS THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT SHOULD IT FAIL AT THE WRONG TIME. THE CAR DIES, WHICH MEANS YOU LOSE THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WILL REPLACE THE SENSORS AS THE DEALER I SPOKE WITH WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER THE VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE VIN NOT BEING COVERED. THERE ARE 4 OF THESE SENSORS ON THIS CAR SO THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. PLEASE LOOK INTO GETTING THE RECALL FOR THIS PART EXPANDED TO COVER ALL CARS. THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE TO NOT DO THAT. *TR

TODAY, I FOUND 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN LEAK OIL INTO SPARK PLUG HOLE. OIL LEAK INTO THE SPARK HOLE WOULD CAUSE ENGINE FIRE WITH HIGH VOLTAGE FROM IGNITION COILS. I ALSO FOUND THIS ISSUE WAS NOT LIMITED TO MY VEHICLE BUT MOST OF INFINITI/NISSAN VEHICLES HAD THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE NISSAN ALREADY HAS KNOWN THIS ISSUE. I HOPE NHTSA WOULD DO SOMETHING FOR ALL OF NISSAN/INFINITI VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR
