2007 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

WE TOOK OUR 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN FOR THE RECALL TO REPAIR OUR FAULTY FUEL GAUGE READING ON 10/24/15 AND NISSAN HAD OUR VAN UNTIL 11/13/15 AND FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. CODE P0462 FOR THE "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW INPUT" IS STILL ACTIVE AN.D OUR FUEL GAUGE STILL DOES NOT WORK. NISSAN CLAIMS TO HAVE REPLACED THE PART STIPULATED IN THE RECALL, BUT REPLACING THAT PART FAILED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER OUR QUEST SPENT 21 DAYS AT NISSAN TO HAVE OUR FUEL GAUGE RECALL FIXED WE WERE INFORMED WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WE TOOK OUR QUEST BACK TO NISSAN ON 12/28/15 TO HAVE THE ISSUE OF THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE RESOLVED. WE WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP TO MAKE THE FUEL GAUGE WORK. THE COST OF THE FUEL PUMP IS OVER $500. AND DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR CHARGES. AFTER NISSAN REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP OUR FUEL GAUGE STILL DOES NOT WORK, AND WE RUN THE RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. NOW WE ARE TOLD WE MUST REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE COST OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS OVER $300. PLUS $35. TO PROGRAM IT, AND DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR CHARGES. WHY SHOULD WE BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY OVER $1,000. TO HAVE AN ISSUE FIXED THAT IS COVERED BY A RECALL? WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A FUEL PUMP IF THE FUEL PUMP DID NOT RESOLVE THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE READING? I WOULD LIKE TO GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE WHY NISSAN IS NOT RESOLVING PROBLEMS COVERED BY A GOVERNMENT RECALL.

A HOSE THAT MOVES ANTIFREEZE COOLANT INTO VEHICLE I BELIEVE TO BE CAKED A VACUUM HOSE FELL OFF CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK OUT COMPLETELY... IN ADDITION THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES FOR NO REASON AND JERKS.. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE ASK MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH I DID AND STILL ISSUE PERSISTS .. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND STATING THE SOLENOIDS IN TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED... VAN LOSES POWER UNEXPECTEDLY. . THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING MOSTLY AT LOW SPEEDS

BOUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN 8/5/13 WITH THE DEALER CONVINCE MY THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOOD AND INSPECTED BUMPER TO BUMPER,AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW TIMES, MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND PRESENT IS 83,000 MILES,I STARTED HEARING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIMING COMPARTMENT,I CALLED NISSANUSA AND INFORMED THEM AND THEY ADVS TO TAKE IT IN FOR INSPECTION,THEY FOUND THAT THE GUIDE FOR THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM HAS BROKEN AND IF NOT REPLACE IT WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT,SO NOW I CAN'T USE THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DETAILS OF THE REPAIR WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000.

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST CASE OF NEGLIGENCE I HAVE WITNESSED FROM AN AUTOMAKER! AGAIN NISSAN IGNORES AND COVERS UP A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE TIMING CHAIN 'DEATH RATTLE' IS HIGHLY ANNOYING AND MAKES THE OWNER FEEL AS IF THE ENGINE WILL 'GO' AT ANY MINUTE. THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT CANNOT BE PERFORMED WITHOUT REMOVING THE ENGINE FROM THE CAR IS APPALLING. THE POOR DESIGN ON THE TENSIONER GUIDE IS WELL DOCUMENT BY NISSAN AND YET THEY CONTINUED TO PASS OFF INFERIOR PRODUCTS TO UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS. TRULY, TRULY DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR FROM AN AUTOMAKER. TO EASE THEIR CONSCIOUS THEY ISSUES A TSB ON THE SUBJECT. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. MY DEALER QUOTED ME $2800 TO FIX THIS DEFECT. $2800! $2800! ARE YOU SERIOUS? NISSANS LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE CUSTOMER IS INEXCUSABLE.

THE PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE DEVELOPS A TERRIBLE LEAK. EVENTUALLY REQUIRED A 1/2 BOTTLE OF PS FLUID NEARLY EVERY DAY! THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE HOSE IS "BURIED" BEHIND THE ENGINE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REPLACE. A REPLACEMENT HOSE IS LESS THAN $100 BUT IT TAKES MULTIPLE HOURS OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION TO REPLACE. THIS TYPE OF POOR WORKMANSHIP IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE FACT THAT IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM IS UNCONSCIONABLE. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CONSUMERS. THE LEAKED CAUSED STEERING ISSUES ON NUMEROUSE OCCASIONS. IT NEVER FAILED COMPLETELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CARRIED A GALLON JUG OF PS FLUID WITH ME EVERYWHERE I WENT. NOW, NOT ONLY DID IT TAKE ME FOREVER TO REPAIR THIS ITEM, MY DRIVEWAY IS AN EYESORE. POWER STEERING FLUID IS A VERY CAUSTIC PRODUCT AND DOES NOT CLEAN UP THEREFORE IT HAS DESTROYED MY DRIVEWAY. I'M SORELY DISAPPOINTED.

^ MONTHS AGO TRANIMISSIN STARTED TO JERK, FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN 3.5 TRANSMISSIONS. LOOKED AT WAYS PEOPLE HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. REPLACE 3 TRANMISSION SOLINOIDS. WORKED GREAT FOR 3 MONTHS AFTER REPAIR TODAY IT JERKED REALLY BAD AND THE NOW IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO DRIVE IN LOW TO GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE TO PICK THGEM UP FROM SCHOOL AND TAKE MY 100% DISABLED WIFE TO AND FROM DOCTORS APPTS. THIS IS JUST REDICIULOUS THAT NISSAN KNOWS THEIR IS AN ISSUE HAD THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND YET WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS. THEY WILL NOT EVEN TRY GIVE A DISCOUNT ON PARTS AND LABOR FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THESE ISSUES.

CAR PARKED OVERNIGHT OUTSIDE. TEMPERATURE IN LOW 50S. IN MORNING, FOUND SUNROOF IMPLODED INTO CAR. SPRAYED GLASS PIECES ACROSS DASH, FRONT SEATS, AND MIDDLE SEATS. GLASS WAS IN CHUNKS, SAFETY GLASS LIKE PIECES, AND SMALL SHARDS INCLUDING VERY FINE SHARP PIECES. A LITTLE GLASS AROUND SUNROOF ON OUTSIDE BUT VERY LITTLE - MOSTLY INTO THE INTERIOR.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE 4TH TIME I HAVE STALLED OUT I LOOSE POWER STEERING WHEN CAR STALLS AND I WAS DRIVING IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE FREE WAY. GAS GAUGE SHOWS I HAVE OVER A QUARTER OF A TANK THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY SHOWS THAT I HAVE ANY WHERE FROM 18-70 MILES LEFT AND I STALL OUT. AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK THE CAR FUNCTIONS AGAIN. THERE IS NO ILLUMINATED LIGHT, NO NOTIFICATION IN THE FORM OF A SOUND OR DING. I WATCH MY MILES BUT WHEN YOU VARY BETWEEN IN TOWN AND HIGHWAY MILES THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME. I HAVE DRIVEN 400 MILES BEFORE NEEDING TO FILL UP AND 283 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN TANK HAS EMPTIED AND STALLED OUT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 19 YEARS WITHOUT EVER RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN AT LEAST 14 OTHER VEHICLES, AND I HAVE RUN OUT 4 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY GAUGE IN THE NISSAN QUEST. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

WHEN YOU START TO TAKE OFF AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AN KNOCKS WHEN IT STARTS CHANGING GEARS . AN SOMETIMES CUTS THE ENGINE OFF SOMETIMES INMIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. <MY TWO GRANKIDS HAVE TO RIDE INN THIS POJ >
