2005 Infiniti G35

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.

THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND A COMBINATION OF LIGHT SUCH AS SLIP AND VDC APPEAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS COSTING ME 2500 IN REPAIRS. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM IS DIAGNOSED WITH A CAMSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS LISTED FROM OTHER INFINITI AND NISSAN OWNERS. THERE CERTAINLY SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE CAR SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR AND FASTER BEHIND ME. SINCE I AM NOT BREAKING, THE DRIVER BEHIND DOES NOT SEE A BREAK LIGHT AND COULD PLOW INTO ME. I CALLED INFINITI AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL. *JS

DRIVING CAR THEN IT STALLED. TRIED TO RESTART AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON (ENGINE, VCF, SLIP-LIGHT). WOULDN'T START FOR 2 MINUTES. ONCE RESTARTED, ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. DROVE CAR TO GET DIAGNOSTIC TEST. DIAGNOSTIC SAYS CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. RESEARCHED AND FOUND SAME HAPPENINGS ON 2002 & 2003 MODELS; INFINITI HAS RECALL ON THOSE. CALLED ABOUT MY VIN AND INFINITI CLAIMS THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.
