2005 INFINITI G35 Fuel/propulsion System Problems

The fuel gauge is not reading correctly, and I have to rely on knowing my mileage and how much I last filled in my tank. I have to keep the car running longer than necessary to even duplicate the problem, and when I do the gas gauge just suddenly starts dropping. And if for some reason I even let my gas get low enough to have the low fuel lamp come on, it's almost too late and I barely make it to a gas station. I have not had the issue reproduced/confirmed by any independent servicer. I have seen in many G35 forums that this is an issue that has not had a recall yet. All of the other models for Nissan/Infiniti 2005 were recalled for the fuel sensor in 2010, but not the G35/G37 model. If this keeps happening I will eventually be involved in an accident when my gas runs out unexpectedly on the highway.

05 G35 AUTO SEDAN. GAS GAUGE NOT READING AMOUNT OF GAS CORRECTLY FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. WASTED OVER 900$ IN PARTS. NEW AND USED TO TRY AND GET IT FIXED. NOTHING WORKED. REPLACED FUEL PUMP, LEVEL SENDER UNITS AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS 3 TIME. UPSET NHTSA AND MFR. ARE NOT RECALLING TO FIX THIS ISSUES. A LOT OF VEHICLES HAVING SAME LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS. FOLKS IN FORUMS AND YOUTUBE AND SOCIAL MEDIAS ALL TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT YET NO ONE'S DOING ANYTHING. AFTER THREE TIMES MY CAR STALLED ON ME I HAD ENOUGH, BECAUSE IT'S MATTER OF TIME WHEN THE NEXT ONE END IN DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. 1ST TIME CAR RAN OUT OF GAS ON HIGHWAY 99 AND A CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THE GAS AT THE TIME WAS READING 1/4 AND NO LOW GAS INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. CAR SHUDDER WITH NO ACCELERATION WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PRESS DOWN. THEN ALL ELECTRICAL AND POWER WENT OUT WITH NO CONTROL EXCEPT FOR HARD STEERING. I MANAGED TO PULL TO SHOULDER FROM THE CAR POOL LANE BEFORE CAR DIED. LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS ON THE FREEWAY THAT MOMENT IT STARTED DYING ON ME. 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE MAIN STREET AND SAME SYMPTOMS AS FIRST TIME AS ABOVE. THEN I LOOKED AT MY GAS GAUGE AND IT SAYS 1/2 FULL! BUT CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND AGAIN I MANAGED TO PULL TO A SAFE AREA AWAY FROM TRAFFICS. ONLY THIS TIME I WAS THINKING I HAD ENOUGH GAS BC IT WAS READING 1/2 OF GAS LEFT IN THE TANK. BUT NO GAS INDICATOR LIGHTED UP AND CAR SPUDDER AND ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CAME ON AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO SLOW DOWN AND DIED. I KEPT TRYING TO START THE CAR BUT ALL IT DID WAS JUST CRANK AND CRANKS, BUT DOESN'T TURNOVER AND START. 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. THIS TIME A CAR CAME WITHIN 1FT. OF RAMMING ME FROM BEHIND AS IT SWERVED AWAY HONKING AT ME WHEN MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. I LOOKED AT GAS GAUGE AND WAS READING 3/4 FULL AND AGAIN NO LOW GAS INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. SAME SYMPTOMS AS PREVIOUS 2 OCCASIONS. PLEASE RECALL.

I RAN OUT OF GAS ON MY COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK. MY GAS HAND READ A QUARTER OF A TANK WHEN I COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF GAS LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE. SINCE THIS HAPPENED I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR G35 INFINITI'S. THEY GAVE A RECALL ON THE NISSAN AND INFINITI SUV FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM SAME YEAR MY 2005 INFINITI WAS MADE. THE G35 SEDAN AND COUPE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THERE WAS SUFFICIENT TIME AND SPACE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. CONTACTED VIRGINIA STATE POLICE. THEY DISPATCHED A HIGHWAY SAFETY PATROL VEHICLE THAT GAVE ME ENOUGH GAS TO REACH A GAS STATION

EX1...GAS LIGHT COMES ON WITH NEEDLE ON E EMPTY...CAR DIE...THEN PUT GAS FULL TIL GAS IS SPILLIN OUT OF CAR. AND NEEDLE GOES FULL JUST UNDER THE F FULL LINE. SOMETIME GOES BY DRIVING AND THE NEEDLE WILL FLUCTUATES DOWN TO HALF WAY MARK. SHUT OFF CAR...GO SHOPPING AND COME BACK START CAR AND NEEDLE AT 3/4 MARK. DRIVE HM. SHUT OFF. START CAR NEXT DAY AND NEEDLE AT 3/4 MARK AGAIN. NOT ACCURATE AS U CAN TELL. AFTER DRIVIN AWAHILE THE GAS WOULD GO DOWN AND GAS LIGHT COMES ON. DRIVE HOME. TURN CAR OFF. NXT MORNING START CAR AND THE NEEDLE IS AT HALF WAY TO 3/4 WAY MARK GAIN. THIS NOT POSSIBLE BCAUSE YESTERDAY THE NEEDLE WAS LOW AND GAS LIGHT CAME ON. NOW ITS BACK AT 3/4 MARK. SOMETIME ITS AT 1/2 WAY. SOMETIME ITS AT 1/4 MARK. THREE TIMES MY CAR DIED ON ME DUE TO NO GAS...WHILE THE NEEDLE IS AT 1/4, 1/2, OR 3/4 WAY. AND THE GAS LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EITHER WHEN IT DIED ON ME B.C NEEDLE WAS ABOVE THE E MARK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO B ADDRESS.

I HAVE 118K MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I RECENTLY HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND FUEL GAUGE ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE OTHER DAY I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I THINK BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST OUT OF FUEL. THE GAS GAUGE READ OVER 1/2 TANK. I CALLED THE LOCAL INFINITILUPIENT AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THERE SHOULD BE. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS AROUND 120,000. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK . IT NEVER GOES BELOW 2/3 FULL AND COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO RUN OUT OF GAS. IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN ON THE FREEWAY IT COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS STEERING AND BRAKES WOULD BE AFFECTED ALONG WITH AVOIDING OTHER VEHICLES IF CAR LOST POWER INTRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A FULL TANK HOWEVER THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE SPEEDODOMETER READING FLUCTUATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,466. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS A 2005 INFINITI G35. ON 11/8/12, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. IT DROPPED FROM 65 MPH TO 0 MPH WITHIN MINUTES AND THE CAR SEIZED UP AND WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE SHOULDER WAS EXTREMELY NARROW AND THE CAR WAS IMMOBILE. THE GAS GAUGE ON THE DASH SAID THERE WAS STILL A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS LEFT. I WALKED TO THE GAS STATION AND PUT A GALLON OF GAS IN THE TANK TO SEE IF IT WOULD START UP. AS SOON AS I DID THAT, THE CAR STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM. I WENT TO FILL UP MY TANK AND WHEN I GOT THERE, I POURED ABOUT 16 GALLONS OF GAS. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, AND I WOULD BE STRANDED WITH MY CAR IN JEOPARDY OF GETTING HIT. THIS GAS FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM HAPPENED ON 11/8/12. *TR
