Owner report 11495613 · 2022-12-01 (December 1, 2022)

This report relates to NHTSA campaign ID# 10V074000 "Fuel gauge reading may be incorrect." My car has the same symptom as described in the above recall case - fuel gauge shows one-third tank of fuel remaining when the fuel tank is empty. Recall was in 2010 so my car model, 2015 Infiniti Q60 Coupe, is not listed in the recall but exhibits the same problem with a dangerous consequence of losing both power steering and power brake. I have run out of fuel twice, second time after the fuel pump and fuel sending unit were replaced. Luckily I avoid…

Owner report 11443823 · 2021-12-14 (December 14, 2021)

I recently have bought this car. I had heard an issue with the Serpentine belt/Tensioner and the belts where making a chirp during 1,500- 3,000 rpm. I took it into the dealership 10 days after I bought it while the vehicle was still under factory warranty and they said they inspected the belt system and could not replicate the issue. Later in the year I was able to get a video of the vehicle making the noise and called and scheduled another appointment. After I made the appointment I started researching online I came across I was not the only…

Owner report 11483196 · 2022-09-07 (September 7, 2022)

The evening of April 17th, 2022, I started experiencing an issue with my vehicle. My car started making a fluttering noise it sounded like someone was shuffling a deck of cards and the RPMs would get to 3 during acceleration then drop and I’d lose power. There were no warning lights present, no notification or indicators on my dash, no odors, and no smoke emitting from my car. I parked my car at home not knowing what the issue was or where the noise was coming from. The next morning, I called to schedule an appointment and I booked with Infinit…
