My 2012 Infiniti fx-35 fuel gauge stopped registering fuel levels about three weeks ago, and the warranty expired three months ago. I noticed the issue when starting the car in my garage. I contacted the Infiniti dealer, and they mentioned that I would be responsible for the repair which would not be covered under warranty. The problem actually involves the fuel sending units, Nissan pn 25060-1cb0c and 25060-1cb1c, which retail at approximately $130.00 each. Parts and labor are in excess of $600.00. I looked up some past NHTSA bulletins involving Nissan fuel sending units and found the following NHTSA bulletins: 10v-074, 10v-075. All Nissan vehicles, including Infiniti, utilize the same design for their fuel sending units, which involve a floating arm with contacts that sweep across a contact array to register e-f. …
My vehicle gas fuel door opens electronically/automatically. Once motor is turned off, then you can push the door open and proceed to unscrew the gas cap and fuel the car. I recently found out that this simple process malfunctioned and I had to pay Infiniti to unlock the door, so I can fuel my car! To my "Disappointment" I was advised by Infiniti, that a little, tiny part {actuators that power mechanical devices (windows, sunroofs, seats, etc.)} is what's needed to resolve this issue, only it will cost me, out of pocket approximately $800, because the extended warranty, which I had at the time {car shield} does not cover it; even though, that may present a safety hazard for me should someone decides to put sugar, water or other substance into my gas tank, because I am now exposed and unprotected! …
On Saturday, May 30, 2015, I experienced three anomalies with my FX35, during two cycles (engine off). The weather was fair, with partly cloudy skies and a temperatures in the high seventies. At about 10 am, when the vehicle was started in the garage, it had an unusually high RPM which I noticed as it was shifted into drive so I could pull out. I always back my vehicle into the garage, so it lunged forward with a strong jerk. Although I thought this was odd, I headed to costco in sterling va and had no further problems for the time being. After shopping at costco, I started the vehicle at around 11:15 am and headed home on route 7 in sterling virginia. While approaching the red traffic light in front of the nova campus, I applied the brake. There were autos in all four lanes, several deep, in front of the vehicle. …
I took my car in on oct 5th for the Takata airbag recall. Soon after the Infiniti technician completed the work my airbag light came on. I contacted Infiniti and took my car back and they will not repair my car. They are charging me $2388 to repair it because they said the two airbags are not connected. I explained that the airbag light had never been on until the technician did the work and now Infiniti is refusing to take responsibility for their actions.
