FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FUEL GAUGE ISSUES - VERY SIMILAR TO PE14012 FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS WHERE WE COULD NOT RELY ON THE GAUGE AND STARTED USING THE TRIP ODOMETER WHENEVER WE FILLED UP. NOW - THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO ACCEPT GASOLINE AND KEEPS SHUTTING OFF AT THE PUMP. I SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM IS COMPOUNDING NOW. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I LOSS ACCELERATION AND HAD REALIZED MY CAR HAD SHUT OFF. I WAS TOWING A TRAILER BEHIND ME AND HAD TO TRY TO MAKE IT TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. I WAS UNSURE OF WHY I FIRST BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE SHOWED I HAD A QUARTER OF A TANK. I GOT FUEL PUT IN IT AND THEN IT WORKED. THIS YEAR I HAD MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. I TOOK IT TOO THE GARAGE AND HAD TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT. AFTER FIXING THE FUEL PUMP, I DROVE FOR 300 MILES AND MY GAS GAUGE ONLY MOVED A QUARTER OF TANK DOWN, MEANING MY FUEL GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IS UNSAFE IF YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY AND LOSE POWER TO YOUR CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN MY VAN STARTED DECELERATING. I TRIED PRESSING ON THE GAS, BUT THE VAN WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND THE VAN ROLLED TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH MY FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THAT I HAD ONE-QUARTER OF A TANK. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER CAR AND IT SAID SHE STILL HAD 1/4 A TANK OF GAS BUT AS SHE WAS DRIVING IT RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS SHOWING THE TANK AS 1/4 FILLED. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TOLD US WE NEEDED TO GET A NEW FUEL PUMP AND IT WOULD BE $700. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I DON'T BELIEVE THEM AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IT ALL STARTED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD THE CODE READ AND IT SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE SENDING UNIT SO I FIND OUT YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THAT YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. ALRIGHT SO I HAVE A NEW FUEL PUMP PUT IN AT AROUND $700.00 DOLLARS I HAD THE TECH RESET MY CODES SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF. WHEN I GO TO PUT GAS IN IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON SAME CODE. SO BASICALLY I JUST SPENT 700.00 DOLLARS FOR NOTHING I TAKE IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAY I DON'T KNOW IT COULD BE ANYTHING. AFTER LOOKING INTO IT I'M FINDING OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE KIDS AND THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER I DON'T USE MY FUEL GAUGE RIGHT NOW I JUST MAKE SURE I ALWAYS HAVE GAS. I DON'T THINK IT'S VERY SAFE KNOWING THERE ARE MANY NISSAN VANS OUT THERE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY QUESTION IS WHEN IS NISSAN GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBLY FOR THIS MECHANICAL PROBLEM. RECALL MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! *TR

STEERING, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT MY NISSAN QUEST 2007 SE IN MAY OF 2012.. FROM A DEALER... AFTER 2 MONTHS OF OWNING MY VEHICLE I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION WOULD ALWAYS RATTLE... OR FELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS HITING.. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND SAID IT WAS THE SUSPENSION SO HE SENT ME TO HIS MECHANIC.... AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS WITH OUT MY VEHICLE...THEY CALLED ME TO SAY EVERYTHING WAS GOOD ... IT DID THE SAME THING A FEW WEEK LATER..... AT THIS TIME I NOTICED THE THE STEERING WILL WAS GETTING STIFF SO I HAD IT CHECKED THE OIL AND YES IT WAS A LITTLE LOW.. SO I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID... AS I WAS HEADED TO THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN TO THE RIGHT OFF HIGHWAY LANE... SO I DECIDED TO TURN BACK TO TOWN..... I HEADED TO THE GAS STATION AS I PULLED UP TO A PUMP IT SOUNDED LIKE A BURST AND ALL THE OIL STARTED LEAKING... I DID HAVE THIS PART CHANGED AS THE DEALER AGAIN SAID THEY DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM...I HAD A MECHANIC CHANGE THE SO CALL PART..,, BUT MY MINIVAN HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL THE POWER STEERING IS THE SAME ... HAVING DIFFICULT STEERING,,.,, ITS ALMOST MY 3RD YEAR IN MAY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS... AS I AM STILL PAYING IT OFF....I HAD A FRIEND TELL ME TO FILE A REPORT AND AS I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO ..I DID GOOGLE AND I HAVE FOUND OTHER PEOPLE SAY THEY HAVE THE SOME PROBLEM... PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO OR IS THIS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM... *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
FUEL GAUGE IS NOT DISPLAYING AS WELL AS THE ODOMETER AND TEMPERATURE- PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CURRENT LITIGATION HAD BEEN PLACED FOR SAME MODEL AND SAME OR DIFFERENT YEARS.. AIR BAG SENSOR ON FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS NOT ACTIVE BUT A SMALL ADULT IS ON THE SEAT. SIMILAR RECALLS HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL BUT NOT EXPANDING THROUGH MANY VIN#S BRAKE- SIMILAR RECALLS HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL BUT NOT EXPANDING THROUGH MANY VIN#S. AN ACCIDENT DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO RECALL THOSE CAR THAT ARE SUFFERING THE SAME DIAGNOSIS ON CURRENT/APPROVED RECALLS. AN ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM FAILURE. BOTH THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE DASH AND ELECTRONIC FUEL GAUGE INDICATE NO FUEL. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CAUSES THE SAFETY INDICATOR LIGHT TO GO ON. I HAD THIS CHECKED AT ADVANCED AUTO. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS BROKEN. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY. $350 JUST FOR THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS TOLD THAT NOT FIXING THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD LEAD TO WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW. I HAVE FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE THE SAFETY LIGHT IS ON. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE - MY WIFE'S NISSAN QUEST 2008 CAME TO A COMPLETE STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING 70 MILES LEFT TO EMPTY. THE REGULAR DASHBOARD GAUGE, ALSO SHOWED SOME LEVEL OF GAS. IN REALITY, THE TANK HAD NO GAS AT ALL. WE CONFIRMED THAT WHEN, AFTER SOME PEOPLE'S HELP, WE WERE ABLE TO MANUALLY PUT SOME GAS TO ARRIVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR WITH THE KIDS AND IT WAS A SCARY MOMENT, TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED (UNNOTICED THE REASON THE FIRST TIME). CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THEY VALIDATED THAT THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS WITH 66 MILES LEFT TO EMPTY ON THE DISPLAY. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A DEFECT NOR DECIDED TO INCLUDE THE CAR UNDER THE RECALLS THEY HAD FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I UPFRONT THE COST OF FIXING THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS YOU CANNOT RELY ON THE INSTRUMENTS TO READ LEVELS OF GAS AND THE CAR CAN STALL AT HIGHER SPEEDS, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT INJURIES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON AUGUST 20, 2014 WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM VA TO MD ON I495, OUR 2007 NISSAN QUEST BEGAN TO STALLED AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, THERE WEREN'T MUCH TRAFFIC AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITH THE VEHICLE'S MOMENTUM. WE ALSO NOTICE THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO STIFFEN UP WHERE IT WAS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO STEER. AT WHICH TIME, WE ALSO NOTICE THAT THE FUEL GAUGE HAD ABOUT 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL LEFT AND THE DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD HAD INDICATED 72 MILES LEFT BEFORE EMPTY. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE EMERGENCY LANE, WE TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES, THE FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO E (EMPTY) AND THE DASHBOARD MONITOR DISPLAYED ALL STARS (*****) WHICH INDICATES EMPTY FUEL. AFTER WAITING FOR 1 HOUR, MY FRIEND CAME WITH HIS CAR AND WE WENT TO A GAS STATION AND BOUGHT A CONTAINER WITH 2 GALLON OF GAS WHICH WE PUT IT INTO THE OUR QUEST. AT WHICH TIME THE CAR STARTED NORMAL AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR US. SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP AND GIVING US FALSE READINGS. JUST LAST WEEK WHEN WE FILLED UP OUR CAR, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS DISPLAYING EMPTY. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR AN ALTERNATOR, MY MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT SUBFRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED ALMOST THROUGH AND DEEMED THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WE LOCATED A USED SUBFRAME WITH DIFFICULTY BECAUSE MANY OF THEM WERE LIKE THIS. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME IN THIS VEHICLE. IF IT HAD CRACKED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS UNINTERESTED BECAUSE I DID NOT GO TO THE DEALER. I HAVE THE RUSTED PART. *TR

BOTH PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAVE A RATTLING NOISE. I BRING IN THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. HOWEVER, EVERY TIME IT GETTING WORSE. THIS IS IN 2009. FINALLY, JUST GIVE UP ON THIS. NISSAN REFUSE TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE. THE DEALER SHIP AND NISSAN COMPANY WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS. FUEL GAUGE READS 3/8 TANK LEFT AND THE COMPUTER SAID I HAD 72 MILES LEFT UNTIL EMPTY. NO LOW FUEL LIGHT INDICATOR. TOOK IT INTO A NISSAN DEALER FOR THEM TO READ THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, THEY SAID NEEDED A NEW FUEL SENSOR WHICH IN TURN YOU NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP WHICH RUNS INTO LOTS OF MONEY. BOUGHT THE FUEL PUMP AND WAS GOING TO HAVE IT CHANGED. THE READING FROM THE NEW FUEL PUMP WAS THE SAME READING AS THE OLD FUEL PUMP " NO CHANGE." I FEEL THAT NISSAN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES . THEY MAKE YOU SPEND MONEY THAT IS UNNECESSARY. *TR
