What 2011 Infiniti FX35 owners say

Fuel & propulsion system

2011 Infiniti fx 35 - dealer recommends the replacement of the fuel sender & A/C amp for $1,765.09. My research reveals that this issue/part has been a concern since 2003 (Nissan/Infiniti) - I have a 2011. Basically the gas gauge no longer works therefore the driver doesn't know when gas is needed. This morning 1/31/2020 I was on my way to work and got 6 doors away from my home and my car stopped in the middle of the street - out of gas and I had to call aaa to bring me gas so I could get to the gas station. I am grateful that my car stopped in the middle of my block as oppose to stopping on the most dangerous stretch of highway in philadelphia "the roosevelt expressway/blvd" - making this malfunction a safety concern for the owner and fellow drivers on the highway. Nissan/Infiniti has this problem since 2003 and I have a 2011 with only 75000 miles on it. …
