did the 2004 I35 have a sensor recall?

My Dad has a 2004 I35. First foreign car he ever owned. Always Cadillac or Lincoln. Anyway, recently the service engine soon light came on. The car has barely 39,000 miles on it. They hardly use it, it's in the garage 24/7. My neighbor works for Nissan, he's a Tech. Advisor. He brought home a diagnostic machine and it showed 3 bad sensors. 2 cam position sensors and 1 crank position sensor. I know the 2003 Maxima and the 2003 I35 both had this problem and there was a recall for it. My Father is very dissapointed in this car, at 39,000 this problem has arisen. I called Infiniti, they say, according to his VIN# there is no recall on this vehicle. How can the 03' have the problem and his 04' at this low mileage have the exact same problem. Did anyone else run into this problem? These sensors are $126.00 a piece and labor is $110.00 per hour and to diagnose it at Infiniti is $103.00. That's alot of money for a man living on Social Security, dont'cha think? I think Infiniti should be responsible for this repair, am I crazy to feel this way?

Yea, that sucks. I suppose it's just out of warranty time wise? Basic coverage is 4 years/ 60k miles. I'd phone the dealer he bought it from and see what they have to say. Has it been serviced regularly @ the dealer from which it was purchased? That would surely help in your endeavour.

Well now the service engine light has come again after replacing those sensors. He replaced both cam sensors and the new crank sensor wouldn't work for some reason..so my neighbor put the old part back in. The light stayed off for 3 days then appeared again. Hooked it back up and it says something about an actuator now. He says he can't properly diagnose car with the machine he's got, and he's not allowed to take the "good" machine home from work. He says it has to go into Infiniti and be diagnosed. I called Infiniti they said somewhere between $700-$1000 just to replace those 3 sensors I can imgine what their going to rape my Dad for to replace this other part it supposedly needs.
