| I've had the same problems that other infiniti i-35s have experienced in regards to losing power, engine cutting off and lack of bracking. my car initially stalled while i was parked at a red light. after a few attempts to restart, it finally did. i made an appointment to see the dealer about this problem four days later. while driving to the dealer, my car engine lights all lit up and the car stalled and i had no braking ability. fortunately, i was going only about 10 mph when this happened and was able to pull over to a lane without cars and applied my parking break to stop the car. after five minutes of attempting to restart, it finally did. i was only two miles from the dealer, so i slowly drove it there. they told me the problem was both crank sensors along with the crank shaft. i had them replaced at a cost of close to $1000. it seems to me that if there are so many complaints regarding this problem, it should be looked into as a safety recall issue. if i were going faster, i could have crashed into someone. one week before this happened, i was driving through mountain roads with many twists and turns. if this happened during that drive, i would probably be dead by now. | |||

| Recently, i have noticed sudden surge of acceleration @ low speeds...and today it stopped all of a sudden while driving. it happened twice today and the steering wheel locks itself. the first time it started immediately after coming to a halt but the second time it stopped in the middle of the road. tried restarting... multiple attempts, no luck. tried again, gave a 5 min break and then it started. | |||

| The car suddenly loses throttle control under normal driving conditions; the engine return to idle speed. i was driving on the expressway and all of a sudden the check engine light came on and the car started slowing down. i pressed on the gas pedal all the way down but the car refused to accelerate. i managed to pull over and stop the engine. and then restarted the car and it seemed to work ok for a while and then did it again. i managed to get it to the dealer and it has been there since while they try to figure out why this is happening. this problem started happening about a year ago. the throttle body has been replaced 4 times in the last year; the throttle body contains the electric actuator for the throttle and the sensors that tell the computer the position of the throttle. i am really concerned about driving the car in traffic because it could suddenly cut out and lead to an accident. *tr | |||
