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
