As I was driving hike after work on 95 south my Infiniti all of a sudden shut off while I was on the middle lane on the highway, I manages to let it ride over and get to the emergency lane before the car came to a complete stop, I did not know what was the issue until I had it towed to my mechanic and he told me that the car had no fuel, I did not understand because the gauge read a quater tank, after doing some research and getting my car scanned for the check engine light that is now on beause of it, I found out that this model m 2003-2004 all have the same issue with the gas gauge (instrument cluster).
I was driving my 2003 Infiniti M45 on or around June 30, 2011 at 65mph on highway 290 near the wolf rd exit in chicago. All of a sudden while I was in the left lane, my car started jerking heavily and my power steering went off making the car really hard to steer. I looked at the dash and saw no warning msgs come on. . . . I carefully veered my car through heavy traffic towards the right lane and shoulder and I barely missed a truck coming in the far right lane! as I got to the shoulder and caught my bearings and was about to call an emergency tow truck a cop came and asked what happened. I explained it to him and he said maybe you need some gas? I looked at my dash and my fuel gauge still showed almost half a tank available but I took his advice. He took me to the closest gas station to get gas, we went back and filled the car and started the car which started fine now! I was in disbelief that my fuel gauge was broken and it almost got me into a heavy accident that might have severely injured me!! since then, my fuel gauge has not come back to normal and I don't have the extra money needed to fix it as I do believe its Infiniti/Nissan's job to fix it!!.
