1 Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge problem of the 2005 Infiniti QX56

Failure Date: 09/13/2018

I am having brake issues with my 2005 Infiniti Qx56. The brake light keeps coming on and it makes a grinding noise. It is also very hard to get it to come to a stop. Just yesterday, I almost could not get the vehicle to stop at a red light. I am also having an issue with the fuel gauge. I have run out of fuel 3 times and each time the the gauge is showing between 1/2 and 1/4 full. Back in September of 2017 we were on a major highway. All of a sudden we lost power and we were going 70 miles an hour. We were in the passing lane and we lucky to get over to the side of the road. We were almost in a severe accident. I have researched both issues online. I know that there have been recalls on these issues. When I called Infiniti about this, I was told that there was in fact recalls but my vehicle was not on the recall list. Obviously, if I am having issues with both of the things and there have been recalls on both of them, my vehicle should be on this recall list. I something needs to be done about this before people are severely injured or worse.
