THE FUEL GAUGE MAY BE SLOW TO REGISTER, FAIL TO READ FULL WHEN THE GAS TANK IS ACTUALLY FULL, OR READ INACCURATELY. WHEN FILLING GAS TANK TO FULL, AFTER 30 MILES THE GAUGE IS READING 2/3 OF A TANK OR LESS WHILE THE MILES TO EMPTY READING IS STILL HIGH.

THERE'S A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE ONCE WE PARK THE VEHICLE. I DID SOME SEARCHES ONLINE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR NISSAN/INFINIT 2012 VEHICLES DUE TO 'THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED DURING PRODUCTION. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MAY LOOSEN WITH VEHICLE USAGE AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. A FUEL LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE.' THIS INCLUDES 2012 INFINIT QX56 WHICH IS THE VEHICLE WE HAVE BUT WHEN I SEARCH MY VEHICLES VIN, YOUR SITE TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL. I BELIEVE MORE VEHICLES THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT MIGHT HAVE THIS RECALL ISSUE.
