2008 INFINITI QX56 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING TO THE GAS STATION MY 2008 INFINITY QX56 SIMPLY DIED. I HAD TO PULL TO THE RIGHT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ( FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE) AND WAS TOLD I WAS PROBABLY OUT OF GAS. I HAVE NEVER IN 26 YEARS OF DRIVING RUN OUT OF GAS AND THE GAS METER SHOWED 1/8+ FULL. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON AN INTERNAL GAGE IN THE TANK. THE DEALER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL FOR WEEKS, BUT, I WAS TOLD, CUSTOMERS WERE NOT INFORMED BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SURE HOW THEY WERE GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS RECALL THAT IS BEING HANDLED WITH TOTAL DISREGARD. RUNNING OUT OF GAS CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS. HAD I BEEN INFORMED IMMEDIATELY, I COULD HAVE PREVENTED MY INCIDENT. I WAS IN DANGER, BUT THANKFULLY I WAS UNHARMED. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD/COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR IF MY 16-YEAR-OLD HAD BEEN DRIVING. I NOW KNOW THAT UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO FIX IT, I CANNOT LEAVE MY GAS TANK UNDER 1/2 FULL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI QX56. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND ABOVE, THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES WHEN IT CROSSES OVER ABNORMALITIES IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES, BUT WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80.
