2007 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION MY WIFE AND YOUNG SON BECAME STRANDED BY THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE THE GAS GAUGE READ UP TO 3/8 OF A TANK AND ONBOARD COMPUTER TOLD US 60+ MILES REMAINING BEFORE EMPTY. I SEE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AND MY EXPERIENCES MIRROR THOSE THAT ARE ALREADY REPORTED. HOPEFULLY THE INVESTIGATION WILL PROCEED QUICKLY AND THIS MATTER WILL BE RESOLVED SOON SO I CAN TRUST THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. *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

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE SAYS A LITTLE LESS THAN 1/4 TANK WHEN FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. THIS INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL GAGE HAS STRANDED MY WIFE 5 TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. LAST TIME IT WAS RIGHT AFTER PASSING A TRUCK ON A TWO LANE ROAD, CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

DRIVING CAR W/ APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK SHOWN ON FUEL GAGE AND CAR STOPPED. TRIED TO START AND CAR APPEARED TO NOT HAVE ANY FUEL. FILLED TANK WITH FUEL AND CAR STARTED. HAPPENED AGAIN ON 2 MORE OCCASIONS, EACH TEAM SEEMING TO STOP WITH HIGHER LEVEL ON FUEL GAGE. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. LOOKED FOR RECALL ON THIS ITEM AND IDENTIFIED PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS OTHER NISSAN MODELS AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS NOT COVERED BY RECALL. *TR

DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON HIGHWAY. MOVED FEET TO UNDER KNEES POSITION TO RELAX. LOOP BEHIND RIGHT RUNNING STYLE SHOE GOT HOOKED ON SEAT SLIDE LEVER. HAD TO USE LEFT FOOT TO BRAKE. *TR

2007 NISSAN QUEST DASH/CLUSTER CONTROL REPORTS INCORRECT FUEL GAUGE CAUSING MULTIPLE, OUT OF FUEL/EMPTY FUEL TANK SCENARIOS. ONE SCENARIO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH FAMILY AND REPORTED 1/4 TANK 76 MILE TIL EMPTY. NISSAN CLAIMED THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THIS IS FURTHER TO MY COMPLAINT ABOUT INCORRECT FUEL GAUGE READING AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS THREE TIMES WHEN BOTH THE FUEL GAUGE AND DIGITAL DISPLAY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I HAD BETWEEN 80 AND 130 MILES OF TRAVEL LEFT TO TRAVEL. LOW FUEL OR RESERVE LIGHT NEVER ILLUMINATED. MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I CONNECTED MY CAR MD READER TO THE VEHICLE DATA CONNECTION AND RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC ON IT CAME BACK WITH THE FOLLOWING REPORT. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP, STORED CODES ARE CONDITIONS THAT YOUR VEHICLE REPORTED AFTER YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS SET. CARMD USES THESE CODES TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY A MOST LIKELY REPAIR OR "CURE". RETRIEVED DIAGNOSTIC CODE: P0462 TECHNICAL DEFINITION: FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW INPUT GENERIC DEFINITION: THIS FAULT CODE INDICATES THE COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT MONITOR (CCM) HAS DETECTED A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT. THE SIGNAL FROM THE SENSOR WAS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM EXPECTED VALUE FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME FOR THE DRIVING CONDITIONS PRESENT WHEN THE CODE WAS SET. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MONITORS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. A FLOAT ARM ATTACHED TO A VARIABLE RESISTOR CHANGES POSITION AS THE FUEL LEVEL CHANGES. WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK IS HIGH (THE FLOAT IS 'UP') THE RESISTANCE IS LOW; AS THE FUEL LEVEL DROPS (THE FLOAT MOVES 'DOWN'), RESISTANCE INCREASES. THE SIGNAL FROM THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS SUPPLIED TO THE VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE TO PROVIDE AN INDICATION OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES IN SOME INSTANCES YOUR VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURER MAY ISSUE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. (?) ISSUED TSB? TSB NOT AVAILABLE MAYBE THIS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE NOW WITH THE SAFETY FACTOR AND FAULTY FUEL READING DUE TO COMPONENT PRODUCT FAILURE. TO ME THIS SEEMS THAT A THIS WILL BE $700 REPAIR BILL FOR A 25C PART. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN MAY AND AFTER A MONTH IT STARTED DYING ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT SAID IT HAD PLENTY OF GAS IN IT. IT ISN'T CONSISTENT EITHER, I COULD HAVE THE GAS GAUGE AT 1/8 OF A TANK AND IT WOULD STILL BE RUNNING OR IT WOULD READ ABOVE 1/4 OF A TANK AND IT WOULD BE DEAD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DTE GAUGE SAYS I HAVE ANOTHER 60+ MILES TO GO WHEN IT DIES. I AM TIRED OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. *TR

THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE AND TRIP METER BOTH SHOW THAT I HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FUEL THAN IS ACTUALLY THE CASE, CAUSING ME TO BE STRANDED BESIDE THE ROAD WITH NO GAS. THIS FAULT HAS CAUSED MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS A SMALL CHILD TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN PRECARIOUS SITUATIONS. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN BUT THEY BLEW ME OFF. I TOLD THEM THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE VEHICLES THAT WERE AFFECTED. *TR

WAS DRIVING NEAR MY HOME WHEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE SIMPLY SHUT OFF AND STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. FORTUNATELY I WAS AT LOW SPEED (ABOUT 25MPH) AND NOT IN A SITUATION WHERE THE HAZARD MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIGHER, SINCE THE POWER BRAKES ALSO SHUT OFF WITH THE MOTOR. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED SINCE MY FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING A LITTLE OVER 1/4 TANK FULL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. AFTERWARDS I FIGURED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY LACK OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE INDICATOR STILL SHOWED OVER 1/4 TANK FULL, SO I WENT TO GET A SOME GAS AND PUT 5 GALLONS IN THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY, ON FIRST TRY. *TR
