2005 Infiniti G35: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Jan 31, 2022 · Electrical, Engine · KS

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 the federal safety agency 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.

We received the car april 18, 2020. We were told that nothing was wrong with the car besides the gas gauge on the dash. On april 20,2020, we were on the highway and the car stopped. We turned the car off for a bit and the problem still persisted. The engine will rev but the car wouldn't go forward nor reverse. We let the car rest for about 20 minutes and it started to work. We then took the car to the mechanic the next day and he told us that the transmission wasn't no good and that's there was an exhaust leak.

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 registers over half a tank when tank is actually very near empty. When tank is filled up, gauge goes to just above full, and slowly decreases to just over half a tank as the tank nears empty. I have to watch my mileage and guess to know when I'm almost out of gas. This seems unsafe.
