Tank Assembly problem #1

I was driving my 2006 Infiniti M35x home Sunday night and it began to stall on me while driving. The car wouldnt accelerate and the brakes locked on me. I was on the freeway going about 70mph when this happened. The steering wheel wouldnt turn anymore and I began to panic as another speedy vehicle would potentially rear end me and maybe even kill me. I put my emergency lights on and called for help. My fuel gauge read about a half tank full of gasoline. I had a friend bring me gas to see if that was why this car wouldnt start anymore and unfortuanetly it was the problem. The fuel gauge was not working properly and I could of got myself killed in a big accident that way. Idk what to do! the warranty is not valid anymore and I do not have money to fix this issue. Please help!.

Gasoline Fuel System problem #2

Driving north on i95 near fayetteville, cruising at 75 mph, had to accelerate suddenly to get into left lane ahead of other traffic, and make room for on-ramp car entering highway. When I floored the accelerator, my car engine stopped immediately, and I had to coast to a stop on the shoulder. I was able to call a tow truck, who delivered me to a local auto repair shop. The shop manager informed me of the failure as determined by the electronic analysis. Since he had to order parts, he had to take me and my family to a car rental company. After about 5 days, the car was ready for pickup. The repair cost was $939. 42, the rental cost was $174. 18, and I drove about 210 extra miles making gas cost about $30. At the time, I assumed this was an unusual but isolated product failure. Now, I see NHTSA recall 13v-430 and believe that my situation was due to this faulty part. I would like reimbursement, and also a review of my car's system as repaired to replace parts further as necessary.
