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 gauge doe,s not work

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 the federal safety agency bulletins involving nissan fuel sending units and found the following the federal safety agency 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 4) the full volume of the tank cannot be filled because the fueling pump is automatically shut off by the tank issue 2: also, the car fails to start. After turning the ignition switch the engine will just rev without full ignition of the engine. It seems as if gas is not being provided by the fuel system during the ignition sequence. The fuel pressure of the tank seems to be the malfunctioning issue.
