2007 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM FAILURE. BOTH THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE DASH AND ELECTRONIC FUEL GAUGE INDICATE NO FUEL. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CAUSES THE SAFETY INDICATOR LIGHT TO GO ON. I HAD THIS CHECKED AT ADVANCED AUTO. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS BROKEN. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY. $350 JUST FOR THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS TOLD THAT NOT FIXING THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD LEAD TO WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW. I HAVE FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE THE SAFETY LIGHT IS ON. *TR

ON AUGUST 20, 2014 WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM VA TO MD ON I495, OUR 2007 NISSAN QUEST BEGAN TO STALLED AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, THERE WEREN'T MUCH TRAFFIC AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITH THE VEHICLE'S MOMENTUM. WE ALSO NOTICE THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO STIFFEN UP WHERE IT WAS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO STEER. AT WHICH TIME, WE ALSO NOTICE THAT THE FUEL GAUGE HAD ABOUT 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL LEFT AND THE DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD HAD INDICATED 72 MILES LEFT BEFORE EMPTY. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE EMERGENCY LANE, WE TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES, THE FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO E (EMPTY) AND THE DASHBOARD MONITOR DISPLAYED ALL STARS (*****) WHICH INDICATES EMPTY FUEL. AFTER WAITING FOR 1 HOUR, MY FRIEND CAME WITH HIS CAR AND WE WENT TO A GAS STATION AND BOUGHT A CONTAINER WITH 2 GALLON OF GAS WHICH WE PUT IT INTO THE OUR QUEST. AT WHICH TIME THE CAR STARTED NORMAL AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR US. SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP AND GIVING US FALSE READINGS. JUST LAST WEEK WHEN WE FILLED UP OUR CAR, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS DISPLAYING EMPTY. *TR

I WENT OUT TO GET IN MY VAN I TRIED TO START IT UP THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MIKES FAIRWOOD AUTO AND HE FOUND OUT AFTER LOOKING AT IT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE SAID THERE WAS GAS IN THE VEHICLE HE THEN LOOKED THE NISSAN QUEST UP AND FOUND OUT THEY HAVE HAD 37000 COMPLAINTS AND EVEN DEATHS TO THE GAUGE BEING WRONG I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT I WASN'T DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A GRIEVANCE AGAINST NISSAN BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

GAS GAUGE READ THAT I HAD 1/4 OF TANK OF GAS. I DID NOT HAVE ANY. I HAD TO CALL AAA FOR ASSISTANCE. SINCE THEN, MY GAS GAUGE HAS NOT BEEN ACCURATE. I WILL NEED TO HAVE IT SERVICED. *TR

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 DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND COMES TO A STOP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE I DECIDED TO CHECK THE MTE AND GAS GAUGE WHICH BOTH INDICATE THERE IS PLENTY OF GAS TO CONTINUE. I HAD THE BATTERY,ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED AND THEY WERE FINE. SO I DECIDED TO ADD MORE GAS THEN SHAZAM IT STARTED. PLEASE INFORM IF THERE'S A RECALL OR HOW TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THANKS. *TR

NO SPARE TIRE PROVIDED WITH VEHICLE. TIRE WAS PUNCTURED AND COULD NOT DRIVE ON THE "RUN FLAT" TIRES. *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
