2003 INFINITI M45 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL RESULTING IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AND THE ISSUE REQUIRES FIXING IN ORDER TO PASS EMISSION CONTROL. THIS IS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT INFINITI REFUSES FIXING IT. *KB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY 2003 INFINITI M45 'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED IT. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN DURING HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. THE CURRENT MILAGE IS 104,000MI.THE FIRST OCCURANCE WAS AFTER THE FACTORY WARRANTY OF 70,000 MI. EXPIRED. I CONTACTED NISSAN/INFINITI AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL INITIATED FOR THIS EXACT ORRURANCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI M45. ON APPROXIMATELY NINE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND SOMETIMES WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE CAUSED BY THE SHIFT LOCK OR THE FUEL SYSTEM, BUT THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,300 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

VEHICLE CONSUMES 1 QUART OF MOTOR OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. IT CAUSES CARBON BUILDUP IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE CARBON CLEANED PERIODICALLY. VEHICLE HAS 24000 MILES AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. MANUFACTURER SAYS THIS TYPE OF CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT WANT TO ANYTHING. SERVICE REP STATED THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH ALL MODELS WITH THIS V8. *LA
