Re: MASSIVE RECALL!!!!!
I actually had a related problem happen during my break-in period. At right around 1000 miles I had parked my car at a mall and popped the clutch before turning the key off, causing my car to stall out. A couple hours later I returned to my car and it wouldn't start. After a couple of tries it eventually started and I was on my way. Has not yet happened again and now I'm at 13,500 miles. Figured it was related to the popping of the clutch.

Re: MASSIVE RECALL!!!!!
Completely agree with gsg. I just sold my BMW 540/6MT and went through 2 camshaft pos. sensors. If only BMW could admit to the problem and issue a recall campaign like Nissan. I'm not even going to start on the poor quality radiators they put in the 5 series.....So far I am loving my new G.

Only on certain vehicles manufactured from January 2000 through July 2002. Nissan/Infiniti plan to begin notifying owners of potentially affected vehicles in December requesting them to bring their vehicle to a Nissan/Infiniti dealer.
Engine Sensors Replacement Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign [Oct. 30, 03]
Background
Nissan/Infiniti will be conducting a voluntary safety recall campaign for engine sensors on certain model year vehicles.
Reason for Action
Vehicles are being recalled for replacement of the engine crank position and cam position sensors. Improper operation of the sensors could cause the engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate; create a no-start condition or reduced engine power; or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation. To this date, no accidents or injuries have occurred.
Nissan Action
To correct this condition, at no charge to the customer, the engine crank position and cam position sensors will be replaced.
Nissan/Infiniti plan to begin notifying owners of potentially affected vehicles in December requesting them to bring their vehicle to a Nissan/Infiniti dealer. In addition to direct customer contact (via mail), Nissan will post recall information on the www.nissanusa.com Web site at the same time owner letters are mailed.
Statement
"Nissan North America is conducting a voluntary safety recall of approximately 790,000 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles to replace the engine crank position and cam position sensors. On certain vehicles manufactured from January 2000 through July 2002, the sensors may not operate properly and could cause the engine malfunction lamp to illuminate; create a no-start condition or reduced engine power; or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation. To this date, no accidents or injuries have occurred. To correct this condition, the engine crank position and cam position sensors will be replaced at no charge to the customer. Nissan and Infiniti are committed to a high level of customer safety and service and will be working with its dealers to promptly address this condition. Customers will be notified by mail if their vehicle is affected by this recall."

Re: MASSIVE RECALL!!!!!
My only hope is Nissan will drop the price of the G35 to recoup any intended buyers that it might have scared away, this also shows me that a car company is willing to spend a lot of $$$ to keep their cars running properly, unlike a lot of companies, that make you fight or go to lemon law to get your car fixed .

Re: MASSIVE RECALL!!!!!
I doubt that will scare away a lot of buyers, other car co's have much larger recall problems than this, besides, the damned news media makes it sound like EVERY G35 is involved!! I hope the price doesn't get cut! [img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
