Consumer Description

WIFE HAD JUST REACHED 65MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN ENGINE DIED. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED 1/2 TANK. I HAD HEARD THAT FUEL GAUGE FAILURES ARE COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE, SO I CAME WITH A GAS CAN AND ADDED 2GAL. CAR STARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM AND WAS DRIVEN TO NEAREST GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK. CAR CONTINUES TO RUN WITHOUT INCIDENT SINCE RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I NOW RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER WITH EACH FILL UP, AND REFILL BEFORE REACHING 300 MILES ON A TANK. WAS TOLD BY INFINITI DEALER THAT ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF APPROX. $1200. *TR
