“I changed the camshaft sensor because it gave me an error code since my car was taking too long to turn over. Than the slip and vfc off light came on and my car would jerk and the brake light would come on and it would just stop completely. Than I changed a coil and the oil. Now the oil is completely empty within 2 weeks. And I'm constantly putting gas and it's like the gage doesn't work. Because sometimes it's completely full and the gage will read half tank. Now it's giving me another code and saying there is a misfire. If I turn the AC on the shaking is worse and it smells horrible.”

NHTSA complaint #10652587, filed 2014-11, 95,000 miles“I own a 2005 awd Infiniti FX35. I was driving on the highway to work and I heard a loud noise indicating that the car was kicking up something underneath it. I did not see anything in the road but it became apparent later that I must have driven over some small debris in the road. I was close to the exit I take for work and I proceeded to drive off the highway. As I exited the highway I noticed that my car was leaking some liquid. The smell of the liquid appeared to be gasoline. I watched my gas gauge go from almost full to 3/4 full at a more rapid pace than normal. …”
