THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. UPDATED 8/10/15*CN

THE FIRST INCIDENT, OCCURRING IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, CAUSED MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST TO STALL/SHUT OFF AND NOTHING WORKED - IT LOST ALL STEERING, POWER, ACCELERATION, BRAKING, ETC. IT JUST DIED, GOING APPROXIMATELY 15MPH WHILE VEERING RIGHT TO TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER. THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT A MONTH LATER, WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) GOING UPHILL AT NIGHT. VAN JUST DIED AND I WAS STRANDED ON THE ROAD - LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET FAR ENOUGH NEAR A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY NOT TO GET HIT BY A CAR, AN TO CALL FOR HELP. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING SUFFICIENT GAS LEFT IN THE TANK, BUT IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. WE HAD PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR AND LUCKILY THE MECHANIC WAS HONEST AND SMART AND CONCLUDED THAT IT NEEDED FUEL AND THE GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. LUCKILY ON BOTH OCCASIONS, NONE OF OUR THREE CHILDREN (ONE SPECIAL NEEDS) WERE IN THE VAN. THIS DEFECT LEFT US WITHOUT A SECOND (FAMILY TRANSPORTATION) VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND TO INCUR UNNECESSARY AUTO SHOP COSTS. SECONDLY, WE RECENTLY HAD SUSPENSION WORK DONE, TOTALING OVER $1300.00. THERE WAS APPARENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS, OF WHICH I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE. THE BOLT DEFECT WAS ALSO NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, BUT THE RATTLING NOISE HAS EXISTED SINCE PURCHASED USED IN 2011. THESE DEFECTS HAVE CAUSED POTENTIAL ENDANGERMENT TO MY FAMILY, INCURRED US COSTLY SHOP/REPAIR COSTS, AND LEFT US WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR DAYS - HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND INCONVENIENT, WHEN ALL WERE KNOWN DEFECTS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO US AND FOR WHICH WE SHOULD NOT HAVE PAID. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED OF FUEL PRIOR TO IT STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

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

WHILE TRAVELING ON A I - 94 WEST FREEWAY THE VAN LOST POWER AND STOPPED. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED THE TANK WAS QUARTER FULL, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A BUSY FREEWAY, AND THERE WERE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAD TO CALL AAA TO BRING SOME GAS. 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 MY FAMILY. *TR

FIRST TIME, I WAS DRIVING ON BUSY TRAFFIC AND LOOKED AT THE GAS GAUGE AND IT DISPLAYED ANOTHER 40-50 MILES TO GAS/FUEL EMPTY, BUT MY QUEST DIED AS IT RAN OUT OF GAS; I HAD NO WARNING OR LIGHT CAME ON. SECOND TIME, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT 60 MPH AND LOOKED AT THE GAS GAUGE AND IT DISPLAYED ANOTHER 50-60 MILES TO GAS/FUEL EMPTY; I FELT MY QUEST WAS GOING TO STOP, SO I WAS LUCKY TO GET OUT OF FREEWAY AND MY QUEST DIED RIGHT AFTER (OUT OF GAS). FOR BOTH OCCASION, I HAD CHILDREN ON THE VAN AND EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE JUST HAPPEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN. FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, I TOOK MY QUEST TO AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL/GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING AND GOT IT REPAIRED. *TR

HI WE WERE ON WAY FROM NIAGARA TO HARRISBURG IN OUR NISSAN QUEST 2007. THERE WAS NO MAINTENANCE ISSUE IN MY VEHICLE. I HAD A FUEL FILLED AT CORNING AND ON THE WAY TOWARDS HARRISBURG ON US-15 NEAR TO LAWERENCEVILLE, MY VEHICLE WAS ON 65MPH AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY IT GOT COMPLETELY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE MECHANIC NEAR TOIGA TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAS SNAPPED AND HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE DAMAGE AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN VEHICLE. NEED YOUR HELP TO REGISTER THE COMPLAINT. *TR
