2010 Maxima SV fuel performance problems?

My 2010 Maxima SV starts to cut out when the fuel tank gets below half. Basically it runs fine when it is running. But when i am taking off from a stop, i press the gas and it hesitates for a few seconds, almost like it's losing power, it also does this on hard turns. But it only happens when the tank is below half. Another issue I'm having is it shudders when idling no matter the gas level. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on?

Sounds like there is a problem. First thing I would do is get a quality fuel injector cleaner (lots of snake oil out there so be careful) and run a tank of Shell 93. That is inexpensive and easy. If that does not work then you need to take it to a shop or dealer you trust. Could be simple like a fuel filter or pump.
What brand and grade fuel do you normally put in your max? And how many miles on your car?

Try a can of BK44 in the tank, cost about 20 bucks. I used it with my 5th gen GLE one time and it did worked really well.

Thanks guys. We have been using Holiday gas the premium (I think it's 91 octane) I will check Shell and try that BK44
