ENGINE, STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AND ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OUT. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. NEEDED TO MAKE EVASIVE MOVES TO AVOID ACCIDENT AND GET OFF ROAD. CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. DASHBOARD FUEL GAUGE SAID 1/4 TANK OF GAS. ONBOARD TRIP DISPLAY SAID ZERO (0) DISTANCE TILL EMPTY, BUT I DO NOT USE THIS. I HAD TO GET ASSISTANCE AND 1 PUT LESS THAN 1 GALLON GAS IN CAR. FUEL GAUGE DID NOT MOVE AND STILL SAYS THERE IS 1/4 TANK GAS, WHILE TRIP COMPUTER REGISTERED ABOVE 0 DTE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 27 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AND HAVE ALWAYS RELIED ON THE GAUGE, NOT THE TRIP COMPUTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD 2 KIDS IN THE CAR, AND I AM GRATEFUL MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING, AS SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STEER OR APPLY BRAKES IN SUCH A SITUATION WHEN LOSS OF POWER OCCURS UNDER THIS SITUATION. THE TRIP COMPUTER CAN BE WRONG, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE DASH BOARD SHOULD ALWAYS BE CORRECT. BASIC PRINCIPLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION MY WIFE AND YOUNG SON BECAME STRANDED BY THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE THE GAS GAUGE READ UP TO 3/8 OF A TANK AND ONBOARD COMPUTER TOLD US 60+ MILES REMAINING BEFORE EMPTY. I SEE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AND MY EXPERIENCES MIRROR THOSE THAT ARE ALREADY REPORTED. HOPEFULLY THE INVESTIGATION WILL PROCEED QUICKLY AND THIS MATTER WILL BE RESOLVED SOON SO I CAN TRUST THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS NO ACCIDENT YET AND WISH NOT TO HAPPEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THE CAR'S FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS MALFUNCTION SINCE THIS MONTH, DECEMBER 2014 AND I GOT A CODE FOR P0462. I FOUND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON TROUBLESOME IN NISSAN VEHICLES AND MANY OF THEIR MODELS ARE IN RECALL BUT NOT 2007 NISSAN QUEST YET. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER INVESTIGATE FOR THIS MATTER. PLEASE PROCESS IT SOON. *TR

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE SAYS A LITTLE LESS THAN 1/4 TANK WHEN FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. THIS INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL GAGE HAS STRANDED MY WIFE 5 TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. LAST TIME IT WAS RIGHT AFTER PASSING A TRUCK ON A TWO LANE ROAD, CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS FURTHER TO MY COMPLAINT ABOUT INCORRECT FUEL GAUGE READING AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS THREE TIMES WHEN BOTH THE FUEL GAUGE AND DIGITAL DISPLAY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I HAD BETWEEN 80 AND 130 MILES OF TRAVEL LEFT TO TRAVEL. LOW FUEL OR RESERVE LIGHT NEVER ILLUMINATED. MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I CONNECTED MY CAR MD READER TO THE VEHICLE DATA CONNECTION AND RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC ON IT CAME BACK WITH THE FOLLOWING REPORT. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP, STORED CODES ARE CONDITIONS THAT YOUR VEHICLE REPORTED AFTER YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS SET. CARMD USES THESE CODES TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY A MOST LIKELY REPAIR OR "CURE". RETRIEVED DIAGNOSTIC CODE: P0462 TECHNICAL DEFINITION: FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW INPUT GENERIC DEFINITION: THIS FAULT CODE INDICATES THE COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT MONITOR (CCM) HAS DETECTED A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT. THE SIGNAL FROM THE SENSOR WAS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM EXPECTED VALUE FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME FOR THE DRIVING CONDITIONS PRESENT WHEN THE CODE WAS SET. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MONITORS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. A FLOAT ARM ATTACHED TO A VARIABLE RESISTOR CHANGES POSITION AS THE FUEL LEVEL CHANGES. WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK IS HIGH (THE FLOAT IS 'UP') THE RESISTANCE IS LOW; AS THE FUEL LEVEL DROPS (THE FLOAT MOVES 'DOWN'), RESISTANCE INCREASES. THE SIGNAL FROM THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS SUPPLIED TO THE VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE TO PROVIDE AN INDICATION OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES IN SOME INSTANCES YOUR VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURER MAY ISSUE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. (?) ISSUED TSB? TSB NOT AVAILABLE MAYBE THIS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE NOW WITH THE SAFETY FACTOR AND FAULTY FUEL READING DUE TO COMPONENT PRODUCT FAILURE. TO ME THIS SEEMS THAT A THIS WILL BE $700 REPAIR BILL FOR A 25C PART. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I JUST PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN MAY AND AFTER A MONTH IT STARTED DYING ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT SAID IT HAD PLENTY OF GAS IN IT. IT ISN'T CONSISTENT EITHER, I COULD HAVE THE GAS GAUGE AT 1/8 OF A TANK AND IT WOULD STILL BE RUNNING OR IT WOULD READ ABOVE 1/4 OF A TANK AND IT WOULD BE DEAD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DTE GAUGE SAYS I HAVE ANOTHER 60+ MILES TO GO WHEN IT DIES. I AM TIRED OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE AND TRIP METER BOTH SHOW THAT I HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FUEL THAN IS ACTUALLY THE CASE, CAUSING ME TO BE STRANDED BESIDE THE ROAD WITH NO GAS. THIS FAULT HAS CAUSED MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS A SMALL CHILD TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN PRECARIOUS SITUATIONS. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN BUT THEY BLEW ME OFF. I TOLD THEM THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE VEHICLES THAT WERE AFFECTED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WAS DRIVING NEAR MY HOME WHEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE SIMPLY SHUT OFF AND STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. FORTUNATELY I WAS AT LOW SPEED (ABOUT 25MPH) AND NOT IN A SITUATION WHERE THE HAZARD MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIGHER, SINCE THE POWER BRAKES ALSO SHUT OFF WITH THE MOTOR. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED SINCE MY FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING A LITTLE OVER 1/4 TANK FULL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. AFTERWARDS I FIGURED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY LACK OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE INDICATOR STILL SHOWED OVER 1/4 TANK FULL, SO I WENT TO GET A SOME GAS AND PUT 5 GALLONS IN THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY, ON FIRST TRY. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
THE FRONT TIRES WEAR QUICKLY ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. BOUGHT VAN NEW AND WITHIN 5,000 MILES THE FRONT TIRES WERE BALD ON OUTSIDE EDGE OF BOTH TIRES. ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AND DETERMINED TO BE IN SPEC. ROTATED TIRES TO BACK AND NOW ROTATED TIRES EXHIBITING SAME WEAR PATTERN. TIRES WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO WEAR ON OUTSIDE EDGE AND LOOSE TRACTION IN WET WEATHER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING OUR CAR SUDDENLY STALLED CAUSING OUR VAN TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. WE WERE ALMOST HIT TWICE WHILE SITTING THERE AS IT WAS A BUSY ROAD. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED OVER A 1/4 OF A TANK AND THE DISPLAY FUEL ECONOMY SCREEN SAID 57 MILES REMAINING IN THE TANK, BUT THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. WE HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS. THE GAUGE STOPS MOVING DOWN AT THE SAME SPOT EACH TIME AND THE DISPLAY SHOWED DIFFERENT MILES REMAINING BOTH TIMES (57 & 110 MILES). WE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AS THIS WAS THE ONLY THING THE MECHANIC COULD THINK WAS WRONG WITH IT. NOT SAFE STALLING AND HAVING NO WHERE TO PULL OVER. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY HUSBAND WAS ACCELERATING AFTER BEING AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A SIGN AND THERE WAS AN EXHAUST PIPE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE PIPE HIT OUR MUFFLER AND AFTER ABOUT 500 YARDS, BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND THE CAR ALARM WENT OFF FOR 15-20 MINUTES. AFTER HAVING THE VAN TOWED TO AN AUTOBODY SHOP, THEY COULD ONLY FIND ONE POINT OF IMPACT IN THE MUFFLER. WE SPOKE TO NISSAN AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO KNOWN ISSUES AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. OUR INSURANCE IS NOW TOTALING THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
EVER SINCE I PURCHASE MY NISSAN QUEST 2008 LAST YEAR ON OCTOBER 26, 2013. MY CD DOESN'T WORK. IT KEEPS EJECTING THE CD OUT AND NO MUSIC, I MIGHT SAY. ALSO, EVERYTIME I TURN ON MY VAN, THE RADIO WORKS, THEN IN A FEW MINUTES IT BLOWS OUT THE MUSIC. THEN A BUZZING SOUNDS STARTS TO HAPPEN. THE PASSENGER WINDOW DOESN'T GO UP ALL THE WAY. AS I PRESS THE BUTTON TO GO UP, THE WINDOW COMES DOWN HALF WAY. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PRESS THE WINDOW BUTTON. LITTLE BY LITTLE SO THE WINDOW CAN CLOSE. MY AIR CONDITIONER TAKES FOREVER TO GET COOL. INSTEAD OF COOL AIR, IT BLOWS WARM AIR. I AM VERY UPSET, BECAUSE I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS NISSAN QUEST. I HAVE ALL THE CAR FAX, GIVEN TO ME BY THE CAR DEALER AND IT SAYS THE CAR HAS NO PROBLEMS AND ITS IN COMPLETE GREAT CONDITIONS. AND THAT IT HAD ONLY ONE RECALL REPORTED BY THE SECOND OWNER.ON MARCH 3, 2010 THE MANUFACTURER RECALL WAS #PC039 ARM?TTN BRAKE PIN NTB10-030 AND THEY REPAIRED IT FOR FREE TO THAT OWNER. PLEASE INFORM ME ASAP WHAT SHOULD I DO OR IF THIS CAN BE RESOLVE IMMEDIATELY. I CARRY CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. HOW CAN I TAKE CARE OF THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED AND ALL POWER CONTROLS WERE LOST SUCH AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR WAS CAREFULLY MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL HOWEVER THE FUEL GAUGE READ JUST LITTLE BELOW 1/4 OF A TANK. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION VIA THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE SITUATION OF LOSING ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND WAS A THREAT TO SAFETY. *TR
