Other Fuel System Related Problems of the 2012 Infiniti FX35

Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

My 2012 Infiniti fx-35 fuel gauge stopped registering fuel levels about three weeks ago, and the warranty expired three months ago. I noticed the issue when starting the car in my garage. I contacted the Infiniti dealer, and they mentioned that I would be responsible for the repair which would not be covered under warranty. The problem actually involves the fuel sending units, Nissan pn 25060-1cb0c and 25060-1cb1c, which retail at approximately $130. 00 each. Parts and labor are in excess of $600. 00. I looked up some past NHTSA bulletins involving Nissan fuel sending units and found the following NHTSA bulletins: 10v-074, 10v-075. All Nissan vehicles, including Infiniti, utilize the same design for their fuel sending units, which involve a floating arm with contacts that sweep across a contact array to register e-f. I contacted Infiniti customer care who informed me that they could not offer any compensation toward fixing the problem. I then located a youtube video that showed the problem was with the contact array that becomes oxidized after a certain amount of time. I then fixed my problem by removing both fuel sending units from the gas tank, and cleaning the contact array on each using a cotton swab. This is clearly a faulty design, and Nissan should issue a recall for all makes/models.
