2007 Nissan Quest

MY NISSAN QUEST HAS A FRONT END SUSPENSION PROBLEM. WHEN I'M DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP ON DRIVERS SIDE IT PULLS MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND RATTLES VERY BAD. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2007 NISSAN QUEST THAT EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MINE. I CALLED AND THEY TOLD ME I DON'T HAVE ANY RECALLS UNDER MY VIN . I GOT IT CHECKED AND THE GUY SAID HE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE RECALL IS FOR A BOLT IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO HOLD IT TO THE FRAME. IT SAYS THAT SOME OF THE VEHICLES SUSPENSION BOLT MY NOT BE TORQUED PROPERLY. SO IF POSSIBLE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY FRONT WHEEL TO FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. THANK YOU! *TR

1.VECHICLE RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWED IT HAD 1/4 TANK AND DISPLAYED 24 MILES BEFORE EMPTY. WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. 2. VECHICLE VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING 40 MILES SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE TRANSMITION. 3.VECHICLE AS LOUD NOISE COMING FROM TIMING CHAIN AREA . ACCORDING TO MECHANIC THIS IS A COSTLY AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSANS. WHERE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE AS PERMATURE WARE CAUSING TIME CHAIN TO BECOME LOOSE AND CUASE NOISE COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST SE JANUARY OF 2014 AND AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE VAN STARTED TO MAKE THE NOW INFAMOUS TIMING CHAIN RATTLE NOISE UPON COLD STARTING THE VAN. IT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO AWAY AFTER 10 MINUTES OR MORE, BUT ITS REALLY ANNOYING TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME I START MY VAN, AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND OFFER A FREE PERMANENT FIX TO THIS PROBLEM.

MY FUEL GAUGE WOULD SAY THAT I HAD OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS AND OUT OF NOWHERE MY VAN WOULD SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING, NO ANYTHING. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT MY FUEL SENSOR AND TO KEEP A HALF A TANK IN IT UNTIL I COULD GET IT FIXED. I TOOK MY VAN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL AMP METER (PART NO. 24819-ZM70A). I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD, BUT NOT EVEN TWO DAYS LATER AT A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS MY VAN SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE POWER STEERING TO HELP ME GUIDE MY VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY VAN STARTED IDLING ROUGHLY AND NOT ACTING LIKE IT HAD BEFORE I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL. I TOOK THE VAN BACK UP TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT FIXED MY RECALL AND THEY STATED THAT THE SENSOR IS FINE AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT. THE ENTIRE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. NOW BEING TOLD TO SPEND $1000 DOLLARS ON A PART TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL WAS EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE FROM FULL TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED THROUGH A MANUFACTURER'S SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

I RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY QUEST AND THE FUEL GAUGE HAND WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WOULD FILL IT UP AND THE GAS HAND WOULD GO TO FULL AND THEN AS I WOULD DRIVE IT WOULD DROP DOWN TO EMPTY FOR A WHILE AND BACK TO FULL FOR WHILE AS I WOULD DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAD A FUEL PUMP PUT ON BY AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT I TOLD THEM I REPLACED THAT AND THEY THEN STATED IT WAS THE SENDING UNIT, I TOLD THEM MY LOCAL MECHANIC CHECKED THE SENDING UNIT AND HE SAID THAT THE CONNECTIVITY WAS GOOD ON THE SENDING UNIT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEN RAN MORE DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS DASH THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND NOT THE FUEL PUMP. I HAD THE DASH REPLACED AND THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOW STUCK ON FULL. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER FORUMS WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS A RECALL AS IT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING A LOT OF PEOPLE.
