ENGINE QUIT ENTIRELY WHEN TRAVELING AT 77 MPH ON INTERSTATE .WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO REST AREA. WAS TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER IN TALLAHASSEE , FL AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS NOT REPORTED AT THE TIME TO NTSA . I AM REPORTING THIS NOW BECAUSE I NOW KNOW THE PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD. MY SON IN LAW BOUGHT A QUEST THE SAME TIME AND HE HAS HAD 4 FAILURES.2 OCCURED LAST WEEK. WE NOW FIND OUT HIS SISTER OWNS A QUEST AND SHE HAS HAD A FAILURE. IT APPEARS THE FAILURE OCCURS AT HIGH SPEEDS IN HOT DRIVING CONDITIONS. MY CONCERN NOW IS IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IF THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE NOT DUPLICATED THOSE CONDITIONS I JUST DESCRIBED SINCE MY INCIDENT, BUT MY SON IN LAW HAS. HE LIVES IN CA.*AK

WE HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHEN EITHER CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN OR DRIVING THROUGH HOT DESSERT CONDITIONS THAT OUR MINIVAN WOULD SUDDENLY STOP! THE AAA WORKER TOLD US THAT HE SEES THIS "ALL THE TIME" AND HAS TO DO "WEAK FUEL PUMPS" IN MINIVANS THAT FAIL WHEN STRESSED! OUR LAST INCIDENT WAS DANGEROUS OCCURRING ON HWY 40 TO BE REPEATEDLY STUCK WITH HIGH SPEED TRUCKS PASSING BY US. OUR NISSAN DEALER CHECKED HIS RECORD (A FEW MONTHS BACK)AND CONFIRMED THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT IT WOULD COST US >$700 TO FIX TO CHANGE THE FULE PUMP. THE LATEST NISSAN RECALL OF THE FUEL HOSE MAY ALSO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE. WELL WE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY IN THE HOT DESSERT SINCE THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT SURFACE DRIVING IN THE "COOLER" LOS ANGELES AREA.*AK

THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMP WIRING INSIDE OF FUEL TANK. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WITH THE FUEL PUMP'S PERFORMANCE,SUCH AS HUMMING SOUND FROM TANK SECTION OR NO PUMP START UP AT STARTING THE ENGINE. BUT LAST DAY OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR AT ALL DUE TO COMPLETE PUMP FAILURE. I CONSIDER MY SELF AS VERY GOOD MECHANIC AS FAR AS CAR IS CONCERN. WHEN I OPEN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY , I DISCOVERED TWO ELECTRCAL WIRES,RED(+) AND BLACK(-), WERE TANGLED EACH OTHER. DUE TO FRICTION OF TWO WIRES TOGETHER, RED WIRE'S INSULATION WERE MAY BE TWO PAPER-THIN LEFTBOF BARE COPPER WIRE. BLACK WIRE WERE EVEN THINNER THAN RED'S WHERE I CAN ALMOST SEE THE BARE WIRES. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPEN WITH ELECTRICAL SHORT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY PART WITH DIFFERENT REARRANGEMENT OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO FIND THE PROBLEM EARLIER. YOU MAY CALL ME AT WORK OR E-MAIL ME .*AK

FUEL LEAKS WHEN FILLED TO PUMP FIRST CUTOFF, WHILE STANDING AT PUMP. *AK
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. THE FUEL TANK VENT HOSE ALLOWS AIR TO VENT FROM THE FUEL TANK DURING REFUELING. CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE VENT HOSE. IF (1) THE FUEL TANK IS OVERFILLED, NOT ALLOWING EXCESS FUEL IN THE VENT HOSE TO FLOW BACK INTO THE TANK, (2) THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE AFTER REFUELING AND, (3) THERE IS SUBSEQUENTLY SIGNIFICANT HEATING OF THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL IN THE TANK CAN EXPAND INTO THE VENT HOSE AND LEAK FUEL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
THE REAR LAMP SOCKET MAY NOT ILLUMINATE BECAUSE THE METAL CAN IN THE LAMP SOCKET MOVES OR SEPARATES FROM THE PLASTIC SOCKET HOUSING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN RESULT IN MALFUNCTION OF THE STOP OR REAR RUNNING LAMPS. CENTER HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMP FUNCTION IS UNAFFECTED. REAR LAMP MALFUNCTION CAN RESULT IN FOLLOWING DRIVERS NOT BEING ALERTED TO THE SUBJECT VEHICLE'S PRESENCE OR INTENDED ACTIONS, PARTICULARLY IN THE CASE IN WHICH BOTH LAMPS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED REAR LAMP SOCKET AND WIRING ASSEMBLIES.
AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION CONDITION IN THE SEAT CABLE ROLLER PULLEY ASSEMBLY CAN ALLOW THE CABLE THAT CONNECTS THE SEAT ADJUST LEVER TO THE LATCH TO BE PINCHED IN THE ROLLER ASSEMBLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THIS CONDITION CAN PREVENT THE LATCH ON THE LEFT SIDE FROM FULLY ENGAGING THE SEAT RAIL. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS."
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PULLER ASSEMBLY IN THE THIRD ROW SLIDING BENCH SEAT LATCH ASSEMBLY.
