THE 2007 NISSAN QUEST FUEL GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY REPORT EMPTY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE TANK IS KNOWN TO BE FULL. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $750.00. WITHIN A WEEK THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE FUEL PUMP IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN UNDER A PARTS WARRANTY. *TR

MINUTES AFTER FILLING MY NISSAN QUEST'S FUEL TANK, I DROVE ONTO THE FREEWAY I THEN OBSERVED MY GAS GAUGE DROP TO EMPTY AND THE " LOW FUEL " LIGHT COME ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN TO SHOW MY BROTHER THE PROBLEM EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AND RAN OUT OF GAS HAVING TO CALL THE STATE POLICE.THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I VISITED A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE COMPLEXITY OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE DIFFERENT SENSORS AND ADVISED ME TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. ON MAY 20TH I AGAIN FILLED UP THE TANK AND THE FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BECOME FAULTY AND UNRELIABLE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE JULY OF 2013 THE VAN HAS LOST POWER AND HAS COME TO A STOP. ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED IN FAIRLY CONGESTED TRAFFIC WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE GAS GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER READS THAT THERE IS A QUARTER (1/4) TANK OF GAS WHEN IN FACT THE VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS WHICH, AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ACCORDING TO ONLINE POSTS OF OTHER '07 NISSAN QUEST VAN OWNERS, NISSAN SERVICE CENTERS APPEAR TO BE UNSURE AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM LET ALONE HOW TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXPERIENCE I HAD AT THE LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THAT DIAGNOSED OUR VEHICLE LAST JULY WHICH IS THE SAME DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE VAN NEW IN 2007. UPON DIAGNOSTICS, THE SERVICE CENTER INDICATED THAT IT MAY BE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY OR A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, BOTH OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN THE TWO PARTS. UPON CONTACTING NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS LAST JULY TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WITH THEM AND ASKING THEM TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AS PART OF THEIR RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE ON THE QUEST AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS OF THEIR VEHICLES, THEY DECLINED CLAIMING THAT THE V.I.N. FOR OUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED. IF THEY HAVE RECALLED OTHER '07 QUESTS OR OTHER VEHICLES IN THEIR LINEUP OVER THIS ISSUE THEN NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND ANY VEHICLE THAT IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY FUEL GAUGE READ THAT I HAD APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES LEFT IN MY TANK. I HAD A SHORT TRIP TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WITH MY CHILD. I PLANNED ON STOPPING FOR GAS AFTER THE APPOINTMENT. I MADE IT ABOUT A HALF A MILE AND THE VAN STALLED. BEING THAT THE GAUGE READ THAT I HAD GAS, I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO WAY THE VAN RAN OUT OF GAS. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, MY GAUGE NEVER READ THE FUEL LEVELS CORRECTLY AGAIN. WHEN THE GAUGE SAID IT WAS AT A QUARTER TANK, IT REALLY MEANT IT WAS ON EMPTY. I LEARNED THAT DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. MY GAUGE NOW IS EMPTY AT A HALF TANK. IT ALSO RANDOMLY PUTS ITSELF AT EMPTY AFTER I KNOW I PUT A FULL TANK IN. SO, NOW I USE MY MILEAGE TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH GAS IS TRULY IN THE TANK. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 7 YR OLD DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. WHILE TRAVELING ON A 8 LANE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 65MPH THE VAN STARTED HESITATING AND SLOWING DOWN AND THEN SHE LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. WE PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. THIS MORNING WE SPOKE WITH OUR MECHANIC AND HE TOLD US THE VAN HAD RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH OUR GAS GAUGE SHOWED WE HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND OUR "MILES TO EMPTY" SHOWED APPROX 60 MILE LEFT UNTIL EMPTY. *TR

THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK INDICATOR HAS SUDDENLY BECOME FAULTY. THE NEEDLE FOR FUEL CAPACITY SHOWED ABOUT 1/4 GAS TANK FULL, YET MY VAN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE VEHICLE, YET THE INDICATOR SHOWED 1/4TH AVAILABLE. IT WAS A BIG INCONVENIENCE, I HAD GET EMERGENCY HELP FOR FUEL, ETC. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A SLOW MOVING ROAD THAT HAD A SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT. I WAS ALSO FORTUNATE TO CARRY MY CELL PHONE WITH ME AT THE TIME OF THAT JOURNEY ! I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, ETC. THE PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN EVEN AFTER THE FIX. THE TECHNICIANS POINTED OUT TO A REPORT ON NHTSA SITE THAT POINTS TO A OPEN TICKET FOR THIS MODEL AND ISSUE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY THE VAN LOST POWER AND STOPPED. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED THE TANK WAS HALF FULL, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, AND THERE WERE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE - THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE. NISSAN HAS RECALLED CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT NOT THE QUEST MODEL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEATHS OF THREE PEOPLE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY A NISSAN DEALER AS WELL AS AN INDEPENDENT CAR MECHANIC. PLEASE RECALL THE GAS GAUGE IN NISSAN QUEST BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!...UPDATED 04-10-14 *BF

AIR BAGS
ADVISED NISSAN THAT AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED CAR FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. NISSAN TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST $800 TO REPAIR. I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT AFTER MY HUSBANDS CAR ALSO A NISSAN (PATHFINDER) STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB 2014. BOTH CARS ARE 2007 AND SEEMED TO HAPPEN AROUND THE SAME VEHICLE MILEAGE. NISSAN ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THEY WERE NOT FIXED. SO NOW BOTH OF OUR NISSAN CARS HAVE THERE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHTS FLASHING. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW. DRIVING ALONG IN PEAK TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. NO POWER STEERING AND ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS BOTH OCCASIONS THE FIRST TIME I WAS ALONE THE SECOND TIME I HAD MY GRAND BABIES WITH ME AND THAT WAS TERRIFYING FOR THEM AS THE OTHER ROAD USERS WHERE WHIZZING PAST AND THEY WERE STOPPED. BOTH TIMES I LOOKED AT THE DIGITAL READING ON THE DISPLAY AND IT DISPLAYED THE MILES AS 80 MILES TO EMPTY AND 60 MILES TO EMPTY AND THE MANUAL GAUGE STILL SHOWED JUST UNDER 1/4 TANK LEFT. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON EITHER TIME. THIS NEEDS TO BE SORTED OUT BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED ESPECIALLY AS THIS IS USED TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN....UPDATED 04-10-14 *BF

POWER TRAIN
TRAVELING AT A STEADY 25 MPH ON HIGHWAY (CONDITIONS WERE SLOW DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER), VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED VERY HARD...FELT LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED BUT WASN'T...THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCING THE POWER, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT KEEPING UP. IT WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE, WOULDN'T MAINTAIN SPEED UPHILL AND DOWNSHIFTED HARD WHEN SLOWING. I HEADED DIRECTLY FOR DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD CODED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I HAD TAKEN IT INTO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINING OF SIGNIFICANT POWER LOSS, HARD AND/OR CONSTANT DOWNSHIFTING AND LOSS OF SPEED DESPITE ENGINE POWER. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH NEW AT A COST OF JUST OVER $4700. I HAVE PUT JUST UNDER 2000 MILES ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND AM STARTING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TRAVELING TO NEW YORK ON THE INTERSTATE, TRAVELING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 68MPH. STARTED ASCENDING A LARGE HILL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED VIOLENTLY, ENGINE RPM INCREASED TO ALMOST 5000RPM BUT SPEED STARTED DROPPING IMMEDIATELY. COULD NOT MAKE IT UP THE HIGHWAY AND MAINTAIN CURRENT SPEED. THE VALVES WERE SCREAMING! I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND THEN STARTED AGAIN SLOWLY. I COULD NOT GET ABOVE 38 MPH WITHOUT TRANSMISSION REACTING AND ENGINE RPM RACING. ONCE I GOT OVER THE HILL, THE CAR SEEMED OKAY AS LONG AS I DIDN'T ALLOW THE RPM TO INCREASE TOO DRAMATICALLY. IT WILL NOT MAINTAIN SPEED IN CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY AND SLOWING TO A STOP. TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE SO I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR HESITATED THEN STALLED. I WAS IN CENTER LANE AND HAD TO CROSS ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO POWER STEERING AND TRYING NOT TO HIT BRAKES SO I DIDN'T UNINTENTIONALLY BLOCK TRAFFIC. MY GAS GAUGE SHOWED JUST OVER A QUARTER TANK AND THE MILEAGE SHOWED 77 MILES TO EMPTY. I WAS ABLE TO GET 2 GALLONS OF GAS AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WENT TO FILL IT UP AT THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND IT TOOK 19 GALLONS TO FILL. THIS IS A 20.1 GALLON TANK. THIS WAS THE THIRD SUCH OCCURRENCE WITH THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. I HAD IT ADDRESSED PREVIOUSLY AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO FAULT FOUND. AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, I WAS TOLD THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPX $750 DOLLARS! NOT HAPPY!!!...UPDATED 04-10-14 *BF THERE WERE NO DASH LIGHTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NO LOW LEVEL FUEL LIGHT. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, I TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO BE LOOKED AT, THERE WERE NO FAULT CODES. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE THIRD TIME, THAT THEY FINALLY WERE ABLE TO SEE A FAULT CODE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I DID GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK. I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN FOR TROUBLESHOOTING AND THEY GOT THE SAME FAULT CODE FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME, I FILL THE TANK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE SAME REASON. UPDATED 06/03/14

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
GOING ACROSS THE BETSY ROSS BRIDGE, FROM PHILADELPHIA TO CHERRY HILL, ABOUT 9PM TO GET GAS AS WELL AS DINNER. THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THEN SHOT OFF WHEN WE WERE NOT QUITE HALF WAY OVER THE BRIDGE. THERE WASN'T ALLOT OF TRAFFIC, SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE GAS GAUGE WAS AT A 1/4 TANK OF GAS. A PORT AUTHORITY POLICE OFFICE ARRIVED WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND PUSHED OUR VAN TO THE REST OF THE WAY OVER THE BRIDGE TO GET US OUT OF THE TRAFFIC AS THE SHOULDER IS VERY NARROW. GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIDGE AND COASTED TO A SIDE AREA WHERE WE COULD WAIT FOR HELP. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START TO THE CAR FAILED. HELP ARRIVED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WITH GAS CAN. PUT ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS INTO THE CAR. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. WE WENT THE REST OF THE WAY RIGHT TO A GAS STATION. THE VAN HAS A 20.1 GALLON TANK. TOOK ALMOST 19 GALLONS AT FILL UP. WHICH MEANS WE RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAS GAUGE SAID OTHERWISE. AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING FULL. I FOUND NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN #10V07400. THE PROBLEM IS AN EXACT MATCH FOR MY PROBLEM. SPECIFICALLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENDER MIS-REPORTING THE GAS LEVEL. FOUND VARIOUS NEWS REPORTS THAT LIST AND DO NOT LIST THE NISSAN QUEST AS PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS TRAVELING ON A STATE ROAD AT APPROX. 50 MPH. I WAS BEGINNING TO START A CURVY HILL AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THERE WAS NO ENGINE REVVING HEARD AND THE TACHOMETER HAD DROPPED TO ZERO AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WERE ON AS IF I HAD JUST TURNED THE KEY TO THE 'ON' POSITION TO START IT. THERE WAS NO LOW FUEL LIGHT AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED 1/4 TANK. I TRIED TURNING THE ENGINE OVER, BUT IT WOULDN'T CRANK AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME COMING AROUND THE BLIND CURVE OR ELSE SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE. I PRESSED THE TRIP BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES ON THE DATA DISPLAY AND IT WAS FLASHING ASTERISK AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. I WALKED 2 MILES TO A GAS STATION AND PUT A GALLON OF GAS IN THE TANK AND THE CAR VAN CRANKED RIGHT UP WHICH INDICATED THE VAN WAS OUT OF GAS, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS FAULTY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 OTHER TIMES WITH MY WIFE DRIVING ALONE. ONCE WAS ON A U.S. HWY. IT APPEARS THERE'S A BAD FUSE OR BAD SENSOR, BUT WE'RE NOT SURE AND I'VE NOT SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS. NOW WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE DATA DISPLAY ONCE THE FUEL HITS A HALF TANK. IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING YOU THINK TO DO WHILE DRIVING. I AT LEAST WISH THE TRIP DISPLAY WOULD POP UP AS A LOW FUEL BACKUP, BUT WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING A DVD OR THE RADIO IS ON AND YOU'RE CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING YOU DON'T THINK TO PRESS THE TRIP BUTTON TO CHECK THE DTE. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR SHOW A RECALL. WE ARE DESPERATE AND AFRAID SOMEONE WILL EITHER BE INJURED OR IT WILL DO DAMAGE TO THE VAN. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE TO THE DEALER TO PAY A HIGH PRICE B/C MY WIFE IS IN SCHOOL. PLEASE HELP! *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
TOOK MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RATTLE, VIBRATION AND PULSING OUT OF THE FRONT END. SERVICE WRITER TELLS ME IT'S A TIMING CHAIN (NOT BELT) THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED HIM IF THAT WAS THE NOISE I HEARD (I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE) AND I WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T SURE AND THAT PROBABLY WASN'T THE NOISE I WAS HEARING. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HAVE THE VIBRATIONS WORSE, NOISE MORE PRONOUNCED AND THE THOUGHT OF A 2000.00 BILL ON THE HORIZON FOR A TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO PUSH AND CONSTANTLY PULL TO THE LEFT. ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES HAD NO EFFECT AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE VAN SEEMS UNSTABLE AT ENTRY HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NISSAN USA CLEARLY DOESN'T CARE SO I'M HOPING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND PRESSED THE GAS. IT WAS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE AND DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE RESPOND. I LOOKED AT MY GAUGES AND THE TACHOMETER WAS AT 0. I REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. I TRIED REVVING THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I MANAGED TO GUIDE MY CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO AN ENTRANCE ROAD TO A BUSINESS. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT. THE ENGINE TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT CATCH. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED A QUARTER OF A TANK AND NO LIGHT WAS ON. I CALLED MY WIFE AND SHE BROUGHT A GAS CAN. I POURED IT THE GAS. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED. I WENT TO A GAS STATION. THE CAR TOOK 19 GALLONS. THE CAPACITY WAS 20 GALLONS SO THE CAR WAS EMPTY. I HAVE BEEN MONITORING SINCE. ON A TYPICAL WEEK MY CAR IS SLIGHTLY UNDER HALF A TANK. THIS WEEK MY CAR WAS A LITTLE BIT UNDER THREE QUARTER 3/4 FULL. THE TRIP ODOMETER SHOWED I HAD GONE 174 MILES. I FILLED UP THE CAR AND IT TOOK 11.3 GALLONS. THIS INDICATE THE TANK IS ALMOST EXACTLY 1/4 OFF. I WAS VERY LUCKY WHEN THE CAR STALLED I COULD PULL OFF SAFELY. I HAVE SEEN MANY POST ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THIS YEAR CAR. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO GET THIS ADDRESSES? THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE FRONTIER AND PATHFINDER AND XTERRA ARE HAVING FOR THE SAME YEAR. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME 3.5 LITER ENGINE. ANY ONE CHECKING TO SEE IF THE QUEST HAS THE SAME FUEL PUMP/SENDER ASSEMBLY? THE SIMILARITIES ARE JUST TO OBVIOUS. *TR
