I was driving through an intersection at about 15/20 miles an hour as the light had just turned green & my car just shut down out of no where all the lights were on on the dash, and the car rolled to a stop. I turned the emergency lights on. I put the car in park and hit the start button again & the car started with no issues. This is the 3rd time it has happen the same way. Luckily the other 2 times I was driving through a parking lot and the vehicle just shuts down while accelerating & in drive mode. There are no warning lights on my vehicle for maintenance. Reading about this online it apparently happens a lot & to some people on the highway going 70 mph. This could be very dangerous!

Purchased a new 2003 infiniti fx35 which currently has 238,000 and properly maintained with the dealer recommended maintenance schedule. At 234,634 and frequently thereafter the vehicle when driving would just suddenly overheat and engine cooling system malfunction causing automobile to suddenly lose power and start to shut down while driving on major highways or roads. This is a very serious safety hazard and dangerous on highway when you driving at 65 mph. Very, very scary and just barely avoided several rear end collision. I am still trying to get the vehicle fixed and would like for this complaint to be recorded as with all the other listed fx35 complaints. *Tr
