I am having issues with the fuel system, gas gauge doesn’t read correctly, my car doesn’t allow me to put in more than $2 of fuel every few minutes, I have been stranded on the road twice now because the gauge doesn't read correctly, I have replaced everything to replace and the problem still persists, This is unsafe and very unfortunate to have to deal with

My gas gauge doesn’t read correctly, I’ve replaced the required parts that should have fixed the problem but it still doesn’t read right, after some research I found it was a cluster problem and so I don’t ever know how much gas I have, I ran out of gas on the road and was stranded for 2 hours waiting for help this is not safe and it is very terrifying to not know where the gas level is at. The vehicle also doesn’t take gas correctly. Every pump clicks the fuel shut off every 2 seconds. I’m sure it’s related to my gas gauge

I was at stop light and G35 jolted. At the next light the car completely turned off and all the power of the car went dead. Nothing was lit at all. Had a power boost with jumper cables and the car started right up. Luckily I was a few blocks away from the house, but it was scary since my kids were in the car and the car turned off crossing the intersection. The car turns on, but I am not trusting in driving it anywhere. There is not check engine light on or warning. I was told battery was fine a C1109 code came up, stating low voltage. Possible issues with the ABS or crank position sensor, which under o1v357 recall, these cars were impacted, but this Infiniti was not included, and it should have been. I exclusively took auto to Infiniti for maintenance until around 2018 and I never had them mention anything to me about these issues.

11/28/2019: THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM/CENTER STACK RESET AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER ALL THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS BLOCKS AWAY FROM HOME AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK WITHOUT ISSUE. TOOK IT TO AN INFINITI DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION RELATED. REPAIRS WERE DECLINED AS THIS DID NOT SOUND ACCURATE AND I WANTED A SECOND OPINION. TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOKED IT OVER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AN INDEPENDENT SHOP ALSO LOOKED IT OVER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. 7/1/2020: THE CENTER STACK TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND CAR ENGINE DIED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER. MOST WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON FULL BLAST AND COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INOP AND ALL LIGHTS WERE ON BUT CAR SEEMED TO DRIVE OK AT THAT MOMENT. ONCE HOME THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF. YOU'D PRESS THE BUTTON AND THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF BUT THE ENGINE WOULD KEEP RUNNING. EVENTUALLY GOT IT TURNED OFF. THEN COULDN'T START IT BACK UP. EVENTUALLY GOT IT STARTED AND ONLY HAD FIRST GEAR. BROUGHT IT BACK HOME, FOUGHT WITH TURNING IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. FINALLY GOT IT RUNNING AND IT DROVE FINE. LET THE VEHICLE SIT SEVERAL DAYS AND DROVE IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP ON 7/8/2020. ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP IT DROVE FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I FEEL THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE. I CAN REPORT BACK ONCE THE SHOP HAS MORE TIME TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM, BUT A CAR RANDOMLY TURNING OFF IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF CONCERN.

ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WENT DOWN ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE SWITCH AND WHEN I GO TO PUT IT BACK UP IT WILL NOT GO. I HAVE TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY WAIT 30 SECONDS AND THEN PLUG IT BACK FOR IT TO WORK. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THAT IT HAPPENED I WENT TO THE CAR SHOP AND THEY CHARGED ME $700 TO FIX THE MOTOR THEN 2 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE FIFTH TIME AND FINAL STRAW THAT IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY ON 6/12/2020 WHEN I HAD MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN CAR ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT WENT DOWN AND ALL THAT WIND HIT HER FACE AND SHE STARTS CRYING AND I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO SHOULDER WHERE I WAS AT AND IT WAS ANOTHER 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE NEXT EXIT SO NOW I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT FOR IT NOW. *TR

CAR WOULD DIE AFTER BEING STARTED. LAG TIME IN ACCELERATION. UPON INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD THE REAR TIMING COVER HAS A SEAL INSIDE OF IT THAT IS BROKEN. THE MECHANICS SHOWED US 4 VEHICLES IN THEIR SHOP WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE SEAL INSIDE THIS COVER IS SO HARD TO REACH THE ENTIRE ENGINE MUST BE DROPPED IN ORDER TO FIX THIS. IT IS A $3K+ JOB. THE MECHANICS ADVISED THAT UNTIL NISSAN FIXES THE QUALITY OF THIS SEAL IT WILL BLOW AGAIN IN 80K. THE SEAL IS CREATING OIL LEAKS INTO MY ENGINE AND WILL EVENTUALLY LOCK UP THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE ADVISE THERE MAY BE A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE, AND A 100,000K EXTENSION ON THE POWERTRAIN IS IN THE WORKS. WE CANNOT CONFIRM THIS YET, AS WE ARE WAITING FOR INFINITI TO RESPOND. WE HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH THE SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. WE ARE EXTREMELY DISPLEASED WITH THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT INFINITI IS AWARE OF BUT HASN'T FIXED YET. WE CAN ALSO CONFIRM THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT (FRONT) SHOWS THAT I AM NOT SITTING IN THE CAR AND THE AIRBAGS TURNOFF. THIS FLUCTUATES GIVEN THE TEMP OUTSIDE. WE BELIEVE THIS MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. *TR

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A SO CALLED LUXURY VEHICLE. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 75,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CONTROL BOARD HAS ALREADY GONE OUT. THE AIR CONDITION WILL NOT SHUT OFF (AND IT'S FREAKING 60 DEGREES OUTSIDE). I CANNOT TURN ON THE RADIO, DEFROST (WHICH IS A MAJOR VISIBILITY CONCERN-ESPECIALLY NOW THAT IS GETTING COLDER). NOTHING IS WORKING EXCEPT FOR STARTING THE CAR. I CALLED INFINITI'S CONSUMER GROUP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE. WHILE RESEARCHING SERVICE BULLETINS AND RECALLS I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON PAST INFINITI MODELS AS MINE. HOWEVER, IT'S CONTINUING INTO THE NEWER MODELS, WITH NO TYPE OF RECOGNITION OF THESE MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *TR
