Gas Tank Issue

Took my car to an Infiniti dealership to have gas guage fixed..Needle would not go all the way to the top after fill up...Two weeks later I got the car back with the front Brembo calipers replaced under warranty(Tech claimed that calipers were seized and that I also needed new rotors and pads) but now the gas guage shows empty when I fill up. Now I have to make another appointment and drive a loaner again...My car has 31,000m and this was my first visit to a dealer so you can imagine how I feel about the whole affair...Any suggestions out there?

Sorry for the bad luck, but stay cool, take it in and let them fix it........Not much else you can do.
Sounds like a simple ground, so shouldn't be much to fix.

after i am annoyed by the little "quirks" in our car, i always jump out of the g35 auto sedan loaner, get into my 6mt, push the **** out of it, and it makes me forget about all the little problems.

Lucky you...only once after 31k? Try 4 times for the same thing in the last 3 months. I've only had my 6mt for 4 months! This is for the same problem you are having. Hopefully, they don't dick around and get it done right the first time. They called me today and said my car is ready, but I still have a 1/2 tank of gas to burn up before I bring it back. This is after 2 weeks in an FX loaner.

They give FX's as loaners? Damn, my dealer give base model g35 sedans. I usually return them with flat spots in the tires though...

Had to ask specifically for the FX...I got sick of driving G35 sedans.

Haha..Your sense of humor makes it a lot easier to take...They even tried to sell me the 30,000m check up except for the base valve timing reset and then the service receptionist tried to sell me wheel locks as I was leaving..I must say that everyone was very nice so they get 2 stars out of 4..
