2004 INFINITI FX35 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

THE FUEL GUAGE GIVES A FAULTY READING. I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK, AND THE GUAGE WILL READ BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND EMPTY, EVEN PROMPTING THE RED 'LOW FUEL' INDICATOR LIGHTT TO ILLUMINATE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IS ALWAYS WRONG. SINCE I FIRST HAD IT, THE BEHAVIOR OF THIS COMPONENT HAS NEVER SHOWN FULL, AND SHOWS EMPTY FAR TOO EARLY, OFTEN 6-8 GALLONS BEFORE THE TANK IS OUT. I LOOKED UP MY RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS, WHICH THIS CAR HAS, AND I NOTICED A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE. I SEARCHED INFINITI FORUMS AND FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WITH RECOMMENDED FIXES. I CLEANED THE PARTS, AND IT IMPROVED, BUT NOW THE GAUGE IS OFF AGAIN, AND THIS ISN'T SAFE, SINCE I CANNOT TRUST WHEN I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. I ALSO WONDER ABOUT MY ODOMETER AND WHAT ITS READING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE INDICATORS. *TR

MY FUEL INDICATOR DID NOT REGISTER A FULL TANK AND WOULD FLUCTUATE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY, SO I NEVER REALLY KNEW HOW MUCH GAS I HAD. I COULDN'T US THE THE FUEL ECONOMY/MILES TO EMPTY CALCULATOR BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO BE BASING MILES TO EMPTY ON WHAT IT WAS REGISTERING, NOT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL ACTUALLY PRESENT. IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN FIXED ITSELF, AND NOW THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE READ - WHY NO RECALL???? *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2004 INFINITI FX35. IT WILL ONLY REFLECT 3/4 OF A TANK WHEN I HAVE FILLED IT UP WITH 17-18 GALLONS OF PREMIUM FUEL. SOMETIMES IT READS EMPTY(LIGHT GOES ON AND SCREEN REFLECTS *** MILES TO EMPTY) THIS HAPPENS ALOT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER TO ASKED THEM THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING IT IN FOR THEM TO CHECK BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. THE SCARY PART IS IF I DON'T KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY MILES I HAVE DRIVEN, I GET SCARE I WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE WHEN I AM OUT WITH MY 3 DAUGHTERS. THIS ALSO HAPPEN WITH THE M45. *TR

ISSUE 1: THE GAS GAUGE IMPROPERLY REPRESENTS THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK AND THE FOLLOWING ISSUES ARE CONSTANTLY PRESENT: 1) A FULL TANK IS NEVER SHOWN VIA THE GAUGE 2) THE GAS GAUGE SPORADICALLY JUMPS AROUND REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK 3) THE "EMPTY" LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS AS MUCH AS 1/2 TANK OF GAS 4) THE FULL VOLUME OF THE TANK CANNOT BE FILLED BECAUSE THE FUELING PUMP IS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF BY THE TANK ISSUE 2: ALSO, THE CAR FAILS TO START. AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV WITHOUT FULL IGNITION OF THE ENGINE. IT SEEMS AS IF GAS IS NOT BEING PROVIDED BY THE FUEL SYSTEM DURING THE IGNITION SEQUENCE. THE FUEL PRESSURE OF THE TANK SEEMS TO BE THE MALFUNCTIONING ISSUE. *TR
