2007 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DISPLAYS INACCURATE FUEL INFORMATION AND STALLED AND BEGAN TO HESITATE BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER,WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT WITH FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER REPORT OF THE FAILURE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 93,000. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH KIDS IN BACK, AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL SHE STOPPED AT LEFT LANE TURN LEFT. WHEN LEFT GREEN SIGNAL WAS GIVEN, SHE RELEASED BRAKES AND COULDN'T MOVE AS INTENDED. SHE DESCRIBED TO ME THAT ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND AS IF ALL BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. SHE MADE SLOWLY LEFT TURN DRAGGING CAR AND STOPPED AT RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED ME ASKING THAT SHE IS UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR AND ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. SHE ALSO INFORMED THAT CAR IS AT SAFE AREA OF ROAD AND COULD ABLE TO GET OUT AND WALK TO KIDS ACTIVITY SCHOOL. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE LOCATION, COULDN'T START AND CALLED FOR AAA HELP. AAA TESTED BATTERY AND IT WAS OKAY; FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING SLIGHTLY BELOW TANK MARK. ASKED AAA TO TOW THE CAR TO MY HOME AS IT WAS GETTING LATE IN EVENING. WHILE LOOKING FOR DETAILS ON INTERNET FOR POSSIBLE CAUSES I NOTICED POSSIBILITIES OF WRONG FUEL INDICATION. SO ADDED A GALLON FUEL AND CAR STARTED AND WORKED NORMALLY. I AM PLANNED TO SWITCH THE CAR WITH MY WIFE TO TEST THIS CAR NEXT FEW WEEK FOR SAFE OPERATION. *TR

OUR TIRE WENT FLAT. WE FOUND OUT A "SPECIAL" DEALER HAD TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE TIRE & THERE WAS NO SPARE DUE TO US HAVING "RUN-FLAT" (MICHELIN PAX) TIRES. WE GOT A LIST OF THE ONLY 3 DEALERS AROUND OUR AREA THAT ARE CERTIFIED FOR THESE TIRES BUT WHEN WE CALLED THEM THEY TELL US THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED. NO BIG DEAL EXCEPT WE FIND OUT THIS RU-FLAT TIRE IS THE ONLY TIRE THAT CAN FIT ON THIS RIM!! & THIS RIM IS THE ONLY RIM THAT CAN FIT ON THIS VAN!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! SO I HAVE A FLAT TIRE & NOW MY VAN IS IMMOBILE & IRREPARABLE! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST (DURING RUSH HOUR) MY VAN SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND JUST GLIDED UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. KEEP IN MIND MY GAUGE WAS SHOWING THAT I HAD A HALF A TANK? LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF NOT IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY KIDS. THEY REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS , MECHANICS CANT FIGURE IT OUT? *TR

MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE DRIVING ABOUT 25 TO 35 MILES OF SPEED ALL OF SUDDEN VEHICLE WAS STALLED. AFTER TOWING VEHICLE TO HOME FOUND THAT FUEL GUAGE DOESN'T SHOWING THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. BY GOD GRACE NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCIDENT THAT TOO NARROW BRIDGE. *JS

THE 2007 NISSAN QUEST FUEL GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY REPORT EMPTY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE TANK IS KNOWN TO BE FULL. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $750.00. WITHIN A WEEK THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE FUEL PUMP IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN UNDER A PARTS WARRANTY. *TR

MINUTES AFTER FILLING MY NISSAN QUEST'S FUEL TANK, I DROVE ONTO THE FREEWAY I THEN OBSERVED MY GAS GAUGE DROP TO EMPTY AND THE " LOW FUEL " LIGHT COME ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN TO SHOW MY BROTHER THE PROBLEM EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AND RAN OUT OF GAS HAVING TO CALL THE STATE POLICE.THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I VISITED A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE COMPLEXITY OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE DIFFERENT SENSORS AND ADVISED ME TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. ON MAY 20TH I AGAIN FILLED UP THE TANK AND THE FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. DR

THE VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BECOME FAULTY AND UNRELIABLE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE JULY OF 2013 THE VAN HAS LOST POWER AND HAS COME TO A STOP. ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED IN FAIRLY CONGESTED TRAFFIC WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE GAS GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER READS THAT THERE IS A QUARTER (1/4) TANK OF GAS WHEN IN FACT THE VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS WHICH, AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ACCORDING TO ONLINE POSTS OF OTHER '07 NISSAN QUEST VAN OWNERS, NISSAN SERVICE CENTERS APPEAR TO BE UNSURE AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM LET ALONE HOW TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXPERIENCE I HAD AT THE LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THAT DIAGNOSED OUR VEHICLE LAST JULY WHICH IS THE SAME DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE VAN NEW IN 2007. UPON DIAGNOSTICS, THE SERVICE CENTER INDICATED THAT IT MAY BE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY OR A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, BOTH OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN THE TWO PARTS. UPON CONTACTING NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS LAST JULY TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WITH THEM AND ASKING THEM TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AS PART OF THEIR RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE ON THE QUEST AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS OF THEIR VEHICLES, THEY DECLINED CLAIMING THAT THE V.I.N. FOR OUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED. IF THEY HAVE RECALLED OTHER '07 QUESTS OR OTHER VEHICLES IN THEIR LINEUP OVER THIS ISSUE THEN NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND ANY VEHICLE THAT IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE READ THAT I HAD APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES LEFT IN MY TANK. I HAD A SHORT TRIP TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WITH MY CHILD. I PLANNED ON STOPPING FOR GAS AFTER THE APPOINTMENT. I MADE IT ABOUT A HALF A MILE AND THE VAN STALLED. BEING THAT THE GAUGE READ THAT I HAD GAS, I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO WAY THE VAN RAN OUT OF GAS. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, MY GAUGE NEVER READ THE FUEL LEVELS CORRECTLY AGAIN. WHEN THE GAUGE SAID IT WAS AT A QUARTER TANK, IT REALLY MEANT IT WAS ON EMPTY. I LEARNED THAT DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. MY GAUGE NOW IS EMPTY AT A HALF TANK. IT ALSO RANDOMLY PUTS ITSELF AT EMPTY AFTER I KNOW I PUT A FULL TANK IN. SO, NOW I USE MY MILEAGE TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH GAS IS TRULY IN THE TANK. *TR
