WHILE DRIVING TO THE GAS STATION MY 2008 INFINITY QX56 SIMPLY DIED. I HAD TO PULL TO THE RIGHT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ( FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE) AND WAS TOLD I WAS PROBABLY OUT OF GAS. I HAVE NEVER IN 26 YEARS OF DRIVING RUN OUT OF GAS AND THE GAS METER SHOWED 1/8+ FULL. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON AN INTERNAL GAGE IN THE TANK. THE DEALER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL FOR WEEKS, BUT, I WAS TOLD, CUSTOMERS WERE NOT INFORMED BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SURE HOW THEY WERE GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS RECALL THAT IS BEING HANDLED WITH TOTAL DISREGARD. RUNNING OUT OF GAS CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS. HAD I BEEN INFORMED IMMEDIATELY, I COULD HAVE PREVENTED MY INCIDENT. I WAS IN DANGER, BUT THANKFULLY I WAS UNHARMED. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD/COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR IF MY 16-YEAR-OLD HAD BEEN DRIVING. I NOW KNOW THAT UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO FIX IT, I CANNOT LEAVE MY GAS TANK UNDER 1/2 FULL.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES, BUT WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80.
