ENGINE
PISTON RINGS ARE FAILING IN THIS VEHICLE. MANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT USE THIS SAME ENGINE MAY HAVE THE SAME PISTON RINGS, SUCH AS THE INFINITI G35, OR NISSAN MAXIMA WHICH USE THE 3.5L VQ35DE ENGINE OF SIMILAR YEARS. THE PISTON RINGS WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR THE VQ30 BLOCK, AND WERE FITTED TO VQ35DE PISTONS. THESE RINGS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF CONSISTENTLY HANDLING THE HIGHER COMPRESSION RATIO OF THE VQ35DE ENGINE FOUND IN THIS CAR. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE RANDOM MISFIRING OF CYLINDERS, WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION (UP TO 2 QTS/1000MI), LOSS OF ENGINE POWER THAT CAN RESULT IN A CRASH, DAMAGE TO INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENTS,

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY @55MPH WHEN ENGINE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND CAREENED OFF THE ROAD ALMOST HITTING A HOUSE. WHEN I WENT TO START THE ENGINE IT HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY ( TOOK ABOUT 30 SECONDS ) WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, TCS AND SLIP LIGHTS WERE ON. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR AND CAM POSITION SENSOR IS FAULTY BUT NISSAN AND GOVT. FAILED TO ADD THE PROPER VIN NUMBERS TO THE RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS THE 30TH CAR HE'S SEEN WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT IT WAS WHEN HE SAW THE COMBINATION OF INDICATOR LIGHTS AND VEHICLE PROBLEMS.
