NHTSA complaint #11372632 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR BECAUSE IT GAVE ME AN ERROR CODE SINCE MY CAR WAS TAKING TOO LONG TO TURN OVER. THAN THE SLIP AND VFC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR WOULD JERK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND IT WOULD JUST STOP COMPLETELY. THAN I CHANGED A COIL AND THE OIL. NOW THE OIL IS COMPLETELY EMPTY WITHIN 2 WEEKS. AND I'M CONSTANTLY PUTTING GAS AND IT'S LIKE THE GAGE DOESN'T WORK. BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S COMPLETELY FULL AND THE GAGE WILL READ HALF TANK. NOW IT'S GIVING ME ANOTHER CODE AND SAYING THERE IS A MISFIRE. IF I TURN THE AC ON THE SHAKING IS WORSE AND IT SMELLS HORRIBLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2011 INFINITI FX 35 - DEALER RECOMMENDS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL SENDER & A/C AMP FOR $1,765.09. MY RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS ISSUE/PART HAS BEEN A CONCERN SINCE 2003 (NISSAN/INFINITI) - I HAVE A 2011. BASICALLY THE GAS GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS THEREFORE THE DRIVER DOESN'T KNOW WHEN GAS IS NEEDED. THIS MORNING 1/31/2020 I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND GOT 6 DOORS AWAY FROM MY HOME AND MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET - OUT OF GAS AND I HAD TO CALL AAA TO BRING ME GAS SO I COULD GET TO THE GAS STATION. I AM GRATEFUL THAT MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BLOCK AS OPPOSE TO STOPPING ON THE MOST DANGEROUS STRETCH OF HIGHWAY IN PHILADELPHIA "THE ROOSEVELT EXPRESSWAY/BLVD" - MAKING THIS MALFUNCTION A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE OWNER AND FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN/INFINITI HAS THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2003 AND I HAVE A 2011 WITH ONLY 75000 MILES ON IT. I WAS A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO MY INFINITI DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WERE WILL TO DO TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING CORRECT FOR SO MANY YEARS BECAUSE IT IS MAKING NISSAN/INFINITI EXTRA MONEY ON REPAIRS?! ONE THING FOR SURE IT IS PUTTING CONSUMER/DRIVERS AT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE DOE,S NOT WORK
NHTSA complaint #11150295 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AT 55-60MPH, IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER AND ROUGH ENGINE SHAKE ON THE HIGHWAY. MANAGED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE. OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BOTH SMOKING AND GLOWING RED FROM EXCESS FUEL BEING DUMPED INTO THEM DUE TO A VERY COMMON AND WELL KNOWN BAD GROUNDING ISSUE. WORRIED THEY WOULD CAUSE A FIRE I EVACUATED MY FAMILY AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. AFTER HAVING THE CAR EXAMINED THE FX35 HAS DESTROYED ALL 6 IGNITION COILS WHICH WAS CAUSING GAS TO BE DUMPED INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. IT ALSO DESTROYED BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND POSSIBLY THE COMPUTER, THE CAR IS STILL BEING LOOKED AT. HAD WE NOT STOPPED I FEAR THE CAR WOULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE FROM THE EXCESS FUEL AND BURNING/MELTING OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. NOT TO MENTION IS WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR LOSE ALL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VERY COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM AND VERY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE AN ISSUE KNOWN LIKE THIS NOT BE FIXED BY A SIMPLE GROUNDING WIRE ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2012 INFINITI FX-35 FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REGISTERING FUEL LEVELS ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THREE MONTHS AGO. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN MY GARAGE. I CONTACTED THE INFINITI DEALER, AND THEY MENTIONED THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR WHICH WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY INVOLVES THE FUEL SENDING UNITS, NISSAN PN 25060-1CB0C AND 25060-1CB1C, WHICH RETAIL AT APPROXIMATELY $130.00 EACH. PARTS AND LABOR ARE IN EXCESS OF $600.00. I LOOKED UP SOME PAST NHTSA BULLETINS INVOLVING NISSAN FUEL SENDING UNITS AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING NHTSA BULLETINS: 10V-074, 10V-075. ALL NISSAN VEHICLES, INCLUDING INFINITI, UTILIZE THE SAME DESIGN FOR THEIR FUEL SENDING UNITS, WHICH INVOLVE A FLOATING ARM WITH CONTACTS THAT SWEEP ACROSS A CONTACT ARRAY TO REGISTER E-F. I CONTACTED INFINITI CUSTOMER CARE WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY COMPENSATION TOWARD FIXING THE PROBLEM. I THEN LOCATED A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT SHOWED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CONTACT ARRAY THAT BECOMES OXIDIZED AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. I THEN FIXED MY PROBLEM BY REMOVING BOTH FUEL SENDING UNITS FROM THE GAS TANK, AND CLEANING THE CONTACT ARRAY ON EACH USING A COTTON SWAB. THIS IS CLEARLY A FAULTY DESIGN, AND NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL MAKES/MODELS....01/04/17 *BF

NHTSA complaint #10909638 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL GUAGE GIVES A FAULTY READING. I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK, AND THE GUAGE WILL READ BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND EMPTY, EVEN PROMPTING THE RED 'LOW FUEL' INDICATOR LIGHTT TO ILLUMINATE.
NHTSA complaint #10703531 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS GAUGE IS ALWAYS WRONG. SINCE I FIRST HAD IT, THE BEHAVIOR OF THIS COMPONENT HAS NEVER SHOWN FULL, AND SHOWS EMPTY FAR TOO EARLY, OFTEN 6-8 GALLONS BEFORE THE TANK IS OUT. I LOOKED UP MY RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS, WHICH THIS CAR HAS, AND I NOTICED A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE. I SEARCHED INFINITI FORUMS AND FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WITH RECOMMENDED FIXES. I CLEANED THE PARTS, AND IT IMPROVED, BUT NOW THE GAUGE IS OFF AGAIN, AND THIS ISN'T SAFE, SINCE I CANNOT TRUST WHEN I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. I ALSO WONDER ABOUT MY ODOMETER AND WHAT ITS READING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE INDICATORS.
NHTSA complaint #10660678 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INOPERATIVE FUEL SENSOR , INDICATES HALF A TANK WHEN IT IS FULL, IT THEN SLOWLY RISES TO FULL AND THEN BACK DOWN TO EMPTY, CAUSING THE LOW FUEL LIGHT TO COME ON. AT TIMES IT INDICATES A FULL TANK WHEN IT IS NOT .I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE RAN OUT OF FUEL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALLS ARE SET ACCORDING TO THE VIN. AT THE MOMENT THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLES FUEL SENSOR, BUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM ON THE INFINITI QX MODEL.
NHTSA complaint #10652587 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL INDICATOR DID NOT REGISTER A FULL TANK AND WOULD FLUCTUATE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY, SO I NEVER REALLY KNEW HOW MUCH GAS I HAD. I COULDN'T US THE THE FUEL ECONOMY/MILES TO EMPTY CALCULATOR BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO BE BASING MILES TO EMPTY ON WHAT IT WAS REGISTERING, NOT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL ACTUALLY PRESENT. IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN FIXED ITSELF, AND NOW THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE READ - WHY NO RECALL????
NHTSA complaint #10605285 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE IS INCORRECTLY READING THE FUEL, AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING A PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS ARE.. INFINITI WANTS 800+ TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A GAUGE? THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BY POTENTIALLY CAUSING A DRIVER TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND BE SERIOUSLY OR FATALLY INJURED IN A REAR-END ACCIDENT. I HAVE COUNTED AT LEAST 56 OTHER 2003-04+ FX35/45 CAR OWNERS ON THIS FORUM WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE POTENTIAL THOUSANDS OF FX OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT NOT REPORTED IT.
NHTSA complaint #10584054 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I DO SEE MULTIPLE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE FIND MY ISSUES HERE.......ISSUE 1: THE GAS GAUGE IMPROPERLY REPRESENTS THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK AND THE FOLLOWING ISSUES ARE CONSTANTLY PRESENT: 1) A FULL TANK IS NEVER SHOWN VIA THE GAUGE 2) THE GAS GAUGE SPORADICALLY JUMPS AROUND REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK 3) THE "EMPTY" LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS AS MUCH AS 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AS THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD SON IN MY VEHICLE A LOT AND WHAT IF MY CAR WOULD STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY?? IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I AM ABLE TO KEEP CALCULATIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF MILES PER GALLON MY CAR USUALLY GETS. I WAS GOING 30 MPH AND TURNED FROM A LIGHT AND DIDN'T REALIZE MY GAS WAS AS LOW AS IT WAS AND MY CAR STALLED OUT, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ISSUE:2 THE LOCKS FAIL TO REACT TO THE LOCK UNLOCK FUNCTION AND THE BEEP SOUND DOESN'T GO OFF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL COVER LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON A 2003 NISSAN MURANO I OWNED.
NHTSA complaint #10505883 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2004 INFINITI FX35. IT WILL ONLY REFLECT 3/4 OF A TANK WHEN I HAVE FILLED IT UP WITH 17-18 GALLONS OF PREMIUM FUEL. SOMETIMES IT READS EMPTY(LIGHT GOES ON AND SCREEN REFLECTS *** MILES TO EMPTY) THIS HAPPENS ALOT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER TO ASKED THEM THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING IT IN FOR THEM TO CHECK BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. THE SCARY PART IS IF I DON'T KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY MILES I HAVE DRIVEN, I GET SCARE I WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE WHEN I AM OUT WITH MY 3 DAUGHTERS. THIS ALSO HAPPEN WITH THE M45.
