What owners wrote

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 infiniti m45. When the contact added fuel to the gas tank he noticed that the fuel gauge would constantly fluctuate without giving the driver an accurate reading. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact was informed that the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. There were no prior warnings and the current and failure mileages were 80000.

Reported at 80,000 miles, December 2008

As a follow-up to an earlier post (odi id number: 10369584) I took my vehicle to the infiniti dealer in roswell georgia and when looked at by competent technicians who actually broke down the vehicle, it was determined that I have a faulty gauge cluster (expensive but the guys here know their stuff, are thorough, and know a bit about customer service). Even after being properly diagnosed infiniti consumer affairs (ica) still refused to compensate (wish they had just told me that in the first place).
