What would you do?

Ok I am not to happy right now with my car. I have an 04 TB coupe auto. Been having clicking sound in the axle forever, which they finally fixed after bout 6 or 7 times I think, but now I have another problem. My gas gauge is all fvcked up. I brought it to the dealer bout a month ago to do the tsb on the fuel shudder valve(I think thats what they call it) and since then the car hasn't been the same. First time they fixed it I fill up gas and the gauge only goes up just above half way. bring it back and they say they fix it. Go to pick it up and still broke. left it with them again. Thought they solved the problem, but now gas gauge doesn't go below 1/4 tank. Sheit. Bring it in again and they fix it, but guess what when I pick it up and pump gas it doesn't get to full the gauge is stuck just above 1/2 tank. Bring it in to get cheched out again and they said they replace the whole fuel sending unit. Get the car back and drive fine till 5 days ago, fvcking car stalls on the interstate at 3am. Get it towed to dealer the next day, guess what the car is out of gas and tank is on 1/2. Get it fixed again as they say and just picked the car up yesterday and guess what the gauge is still all F'd up. Doesn't go all the way up. Have an appointment this Friday to get it checked out. I thought about doing the lemon law, but does anyone know what I can do. File a claim with Infiniti or somehting??? What woudl you do, I've bout had it. I work 16 hours a day and don't have time to keep bringing it back.
sorry for the long post but so pissed. I bout a 13000 corolla bout the same time I bought the coupe and it has never had to be brought back to the dealership. Sheit $40,000 g coupe=over 20 trips to dealer vs 13,000 corolla= never any trouble.

I had an 03 sedan went to the dealer a lot more than my 04 odyssey. Just bought an 06 coupe to replace the sedan. Should have bought another odyssey. Nah because I hate driving it. Just like I'd hate driving a corolla.

I think you need to find another dealer for sure.

Hmmm, another frustrated G owner. I know the feeling, I've been there with many an issue myself - BUT...

For the price, there really isn't a better car out there. I've commited to fixing my G whenever it breaks down because the alternative for me is a lesser car. I don't have $$ for a nice BMW or the Lexus IS350

Anyways, I went and bought the service manual cheap from e-bay and have been paging through it a bit. It is relatively easy to fix most of the problems on the G yourself if you are technical minded.

Perhaps the place you're dealing with just doesn't 'have the parts' to fix your ride.

Try another dealer.
