2011 Nissan Quest

THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INSTANCES WHERE OUR VAN HAS STALLED SITTING ON AN INCLINE WITH A QUARTER OR SO OF GAS LEFT. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE 2011 QUEST BUT MINE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE SAME MANUFACTURE DATE RANGE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE QUEST OVER SEVERAL YEARS NOT JUST 2011. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM RESEARCH AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE. THEY SUGGESTED PURCHASING A FUEL SENDING UNIT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IF IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE THEN WHY WOULD THE CAR STALL ON A HILL WITH PLENTY OF GAS LEFT? I AM WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING DOWN A HILL AT SPEED AND MY CAR STALLS.

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV VERY HIGH. I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT MOVING AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED THE REVVING, WHILE STILL HIGHER THAN NORMAL, WAS LESS. I WAS ABLE TO GO TO A PARKING LOT AND TURN OFF THE CAR TO HAVE IT TOWED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ONE QUARTER FULL AND THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A SLOPE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I WAS AT MY SISTER HOUSE HAD DROVE FORWARD TO BACK UP, BEFORE I COULD PUT IT IN REVERSE THE MINIVAN JUST LUNGED FORWARD INTO HER DECK. THE DECK WAS DEMOLISH. I TURN THE WHEEL TO KEEP FROM GOING THROUGH HER HOUSE. IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL I APPLIED MY BRAKES IT DID NOT STOP I TURNED THE WHEEL IT WAS HEADED CROSS HER YARD TOWARD DITCH INTO SOME TREES .I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF IT STOPPED.

I DO NOT KNOW RESULTS YET.I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT EVEN IF IT GET FIX.THAT WAS A SCARY MOMENT . MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME. SHE WAS JUST LOOK IN A PANIC. I WAS SAYING I CAN NOT STOP IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON A DECLINE WITH TANK OF FUEL OR LESS, THERE WAS AN INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF FUEL GOING TO THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED IN ORDER TO RESET THE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DECIDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND REPROGRAMMED THE FUEL TANK CONTROL MODULE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V076000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE ). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO SENT OUT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,898 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,500.

THE FUEL INDICATION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DEPARTING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL TO A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO FILL THE TANK VIA A GAS CAN TO MAKE IT TO THE STATION. GAS LIGHT CAME ON TONIGHT MARCH 15TH WHILE IN INTERSTATE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES AND PARKED. INDICATOR AT THE TIME STILL SAID WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES. PARKED ON A DECLINE AND CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN WE RETURNED. AGAIN FILLED TANK WITH A GALLON OF GAS AND DROVE TO STATION WHERE WE FILLED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 14 GALLONS. 14 GALLONS + 1 GALLON FROM CAN = 15 GALLONS....IN A SUPPOSED 20 GALLON TANK? THE MATH ISN'T ADDING UP. LUCKILY OUR CHILDREN HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE CAR ON EITHER OCCURRENCE NOR HAVE WE STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 NISSAN QUEST FUEL TANK OR PUMP WHICH IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OR NOT START WHEN THERE IS MORE THAN 4-5 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. THERE ARE COUNTLESS FORUMS ONLINE NOW THAT WE HAVE JUST FOUND TONIGHT WITH PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE....WITH DEALERSHIPS NOT OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THIS CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME 5 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH! I HAVE HAD TO HAVE GAS DELIVERED TO ME ALL OF THESE TIME TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. ON MOST OF THESE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD OVER 1/4 TAKE AND HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS ON INDICATION FUEL LEVEL WAS LOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT. WE TOOK THE VAN IN FOR SERVICE AND WERE FIST TOLD THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT THEN ANOTHER WORKER TOLD US THEY JUST HAD SOMEONE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE TANK YET THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. MY DEALERSHIP IS MOSSY NISSAN OF OCEANSIDE CA, AND THEY HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE. WE ARE DRIVING ACROSS THE US ON MILITARY ORDERS IN THIS VAN WITH OUR 2 SMALL CHILDREN, AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT WE WILL BE FORCED TO DRIVE IN A DEATHTRAP. NISSAN NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THESE ARE FAMILY VANS, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THERE TO BE A MASS RECALL? THE DEATH OF A FAMILY? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW?? *TR
