Software errors in the fuel pump can cause certain Infiniti vehicles to run out of gas.
Engineers determined when the amount of fuel is low in the main tank, the pressure regulator may not open and send fuel from the sub tank to the main tank. This can cause the fuel level in the main tank to be too low for the fuel pump to send fuel to the engine, which can cause the engine to stop running while driving.
Technology. It’s awesome, until it isn’t.The recall involves the 2016-2018 Q50 and the 2016 Q60 with 2-liter engines.

Plaintiff Matthew Senci filed the proposed class-action lawsuit that alleges the vehicles have occupant classification system software that can incorrectly classify a front passenger seat as empty when it's occupied by an adult passenger. The error can cause the airbag to deactivate and fail to deploy in a crash.
