  1. Software errors in the fuel pump can cause certain Infiniti vehicles to run out of gas.

    Engineers determined when the amount of fuel is low in the main tank, the pressure regulator may not open and send fuel from the sub tank to the main tank. This can cause the fuel level in the main tank to be too low for the fuel pump to send fuel to the engine, which can cause the engine to stop running while driving. Technology. It’s awesome, until it isn’t.

    The recall involves the 2016-2018 Q50 and the 2016 Q60 with 2-liter engines.

  2. Nissan and Infiniti owners are overflowed with joy at the news of the automaker's "EVAP Emission Warranty Policy Enhancement".

    Many 2003-2017 models have developed clogs in the evaporative (EVAP) emission vapor vent tubes, which can cause gas to spill out during fill-up. The "warranty enhancement" will extend the warranty on these parts to 15 years / 150,000 miles. Owners who have already paid for repairs may be eligible for reimbursement.

    Additional EVAP warranty information can be found on CarComplaints.com.

  3. The JX35 might spark a few front-seat arguments when it runs out of gas, even though the gas gauge says there's plenty left.

    Nissan (parent company of Infiniti) says certain 2013 models have fuel transfer tubes that were incorrectly routed. The end result? The fuel level float might not sink as fuel is used up, leading to the incorrect reading. The affected vehicles were manufactured from February 15, 2012, through June 22, 2012.

    The recall will fix the issue by re-routing the tube and installing an o-ring, no guarantees it will fix your relationship though.
