I had that same problem with my 1991 300zx. It cost me around $75 bucks or so to get if fixed and an extra $50 to have it towed.

Nope. I've got an 05 with the rev-up motor and the previous owner had the crankshaft and camshaft sensors replaced under warranty/recall at about 12,000 miles.

I'm sure once they revamped the motor in '07, it was no longer an issue, but I bet 06's were affected as well.

okay here is my issuse i started my car nothing unsual as i started driving i switched to triptronic. When i did that the D was still on the dash and i tried to swicth gears but nothing happend. Then i stopped at a gas station to check it out and i noticed my parking lights came on as i took the key out of the ignition. And they stay on with the swicth on the off position. Later on a drive my triptronic started working.....really weird. 30 Minutes later i started the car and the engine light was on. I drove the car to drop it off at friends house since it closer to the dealer to check it out on monday. Then i had to move the car for a little bit and my slip and vdc light is on..... and i cant move the car cause every time i start the engine it dies. do you guys have any ideas what it might be?

Man same thing happened to me thursday and today.
I will check the break fluid as soon as i get out of work. My Slip, VDC off and break light came on. My Service Engine Soon light has been on already LOL so i don't know if it threw out another code. Mine came on Thursday when i spun out driving on this Texas ice and it happened again today, just driving to work...
What could it be???????????

^ WOW!
Same thing is happened to my G today!
The "Slip" and "VDC Off" lights come on when I started the car. I turned the car on and off a few times, sometimes the lights come on, sometimes they dont. weird.
No problems driving though.

I think, start with checking brake fluid, brake pads, and battery.

Help

My check engine light, slip & VDC light kept coming on, then my car would shut off sometime @ a light or if I stopped. Found out it was the camshaft sensor, plz note I have a 4dr sdn 2003. Once i got that replaced everything was fine, I went to the dealer and it was $300 something. But not hard if you know someone who works on cars to replace, the part is like $60........wish u luck!

My car looked like a friking Christmas tree with half of my dash lights turned on!!!
I drove home last night and they never came back on so i have decided my car does not like the cold weather so its going to stay inside until it gets above 50 Degrees...

Ok, so I put new brake pads and my brake fluid is at MAX, and the "ABS", "Slip" and "VDC Off" lights still come on when any of my wheels spin a little.
I hooked it up to a Cipher tool and its throwing C1108 code.
Any ideas?

I think the culprit was one of the speed sensors. It was a bit loose. So far so good. Will keep you guys updated.
