Check engine light on

I have an 05 g35 coupe with 54000 miles. I was driving earlier and my jerked and the check engine light, sip light and vdc off light came on. And my car shut off twice on my way home. What should I do? I think I'm still under powertrain warranty. Is this covered by powertrain? Has anyone had the same problem before?

Cam sensors

I would replace the two cam sensors located at the back of each head and the crank sensor at the center bottom of the engine just below the flywheel, about $ 70 each. Quick to change and known to fail.

You said your G is under warranty, you should find out if it covers that.

I bought both sensors and replaced them in an hour. Do a ECU reset afterwards.

If you still have a warranty the cam sensors w/b covered, they're not like brakes that are supposed to wear out....

Update! They said my crankshaft sensor failed. And That's not covered by powertrain?!? Also they said my cars electronic module needs to b updated. I'm guessing they r trying to charge me for that as well. *sigh*

So... I just got off the phone with the stealership. $130 for diagnose, $219 for crank sensor, $137 for reflash. What should I do?!?

You're already into the STEALERSHIP for the buck thirty may as well have them fix everything. How is it that cam sensors aren't part of your engine aka powertrain warranty? It's a shame that we can't leave an Infiniti dealership with feeling we've been screwed....
