I have a failed fuel rail pressure sensor which is part of a voluntary safety recall that was done in 2012. I called the manufacturer to inform them about my fuel sensor they told me that my car isn't part of the recall because their engineers determined that it wasn't part of the recall! I'm not sure how they determined that out of all cars produced that year. Now I'm stuck with a car I can't drive unless I take it to the dealership and spend money to get it fixed. My only hope now is that someone from the federal safety agency can help me out and get them to fix their defective part! Thanks
Infiniti/nissan issued a recall back in 2010 (recall id#10v074000) for fuel gauge/sensor sending unit problem. The same issue is happening on later year vehicles, but no recall has been issued. There are endless reports on the web across many forums where people are having the same problem for something that has been recalled before. See notes from past recall. Recall id # 10v074000 - fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system recall date: mar 03, 2010 summary: nissan is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 titan, armada, and infiniti qx56 vehicles. The instrument panel fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is empty. Consequence: this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall on the highway, which could cause a crash. Is this no longer a safety concern? Same issue, just later models... Mine specifically is a 2011 and I never know how much gas is in it. It fluctuates and shows empty when it's not and shows full when it's not. Please investigate and advise the many owners that are having this problem.
Fuel leveling sensor is faulty in a large variety of infiniti cars, but there is not recall for my VIN. The car's fuel gauge goes up and down all the time and tells me I'm on empty when I'm not and never registers full even when it was just filled up. It can jump from reading 330 miles left to empty down to 299 and back up to 330 in just a few seconds. The diagnostic confirmed a problem, but they want over $1,000 to fix a known problem in many of their makes and models. This doesn't even touch on the timing chain issue that is faulty as well. Luckily, there is a recall for that one. How is the consumer protected against this type of faulty parts? Is there anything we can do? We have been told we need to replace the fuel pump.
Fuel line failure: a fuel line fitting/clamp on back side of engine (drivers side) is streaming fuel at a rate of approximately 1/2 cup per minute. While bring my kids to school this morning, I noticed a strong smell of gasoline, so I checked underneath and saw gas steadily streaming from the car and forming a puddles,I am having the car towed to dealer's garage for repair later this week. The car has never been in an accident. The fuel line leak may be related infiniti's recall: the federal safety agency id: 14v‑683.
