Forward collision avoidance · Nov 2025 · NHTSA complaint record

I purchased a 2016 qx80 last week. After filling my car with fuel, within 10 minutes, my gas gauge went from full, to down 3/4 of a tank of gas. After only 50 miles of driving, with no air conditioning on, i'm at 1/2 of a tank according to my fuel gauge. There is absolutely no way that can be correct.

I had my infinity 2016 qx 80 for 6 months and the breaks went out to the floor. I was only going over a speed hump, luckily. I pulled over and the caliper was against the inside of the rim. I was told the pin fell out. Very dangerous!
