INFINITI G35 camshaft position sensor issue causing engine shutdown and strong gasoline odor in cabin on INFINITI G35

Some INFINITI G35 owners report experiencing issues with the camshaft position sensor, resulting in engine shutdown at stops or low RPMs and a strong gasoline odor in the cabin. These symptoms can pose serious safety concerns, as engine shutdown may lead to loss of power steering and brakes, creating a dangerous situation for drivers. Additionally, there is a recall on 2005 INFINITI G35 models related to the camshaft position sensor, which has been linked to power loss problems. Owners may face repair costs for replacing the sensor, averaging between $180 and $266, with additional expenses for circuit issues ranging from $50 to $150 for parts and $100 to $200 for labor. To address these issues, some owners find it helpful to diagnose the problem using a scan tool, inspect the sensor for damage, and check the wiring and connectors for any faults. Prompt resolution of these issues is crucial to ensure safety and prevent further damage.
