Description of the problem | 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. |
