Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2007 Nissan Quest - part 2

The first incident, occurring in the summer of 2014, caused my 2007 Nissan Quest to stall/shut off and nothing worked - it lost all steering, power, acceleration, braking, etc. It just died, going approximately 15mph while veering right to turn into a shopping center. This same incident occurred about a month later, while traveling approximately 25mph (posted speed limit) going uphill at night. Van just died and I was stranded on the road - lucky enough to get far enough near a private driveway not to get hit by a car, an to call for help. The fuel gauge was showing sufficient gas left in the tank, but it had run out of gas. We had put the vehicle in the shop for repair and luckily the mechanic was honest and Smart and concluded that it needed fuel and the gauge was defective. Luckily on both occasions, none of our three children (one special needs) were in the van. This defect left us without a second (family transportation) vehicle for several days and to incur unnecessary auto shop costs. Secondly, we recently had suspension work done, totaling over $1300. 00. There was apparently a recall for this, of which I was never made aware. The bolt defect was also never brought to my attention, but the rattling noise has existed since purchased used in 2011. These defects have caused potential endangerment to my family, incurred us costly shop/repair costs, and left us without a vehicle for days - highly dangerous and inconvenient, when all were known defects that should have been known to us and for which we should not have paid.

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 consistant 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.

We were traveling on the highway when our trip odometer said that we still had 60miles to e and then suddenly stalled. We were able to pull over but had no clue what happened since it said we still have gas. We called our roadside assistance who brought us gas along just in case and after putting the gas in, the car started back up. Just this morning however 7/15/2014 my gas gauge was suddenly almost at e when the night before I was just under a half a tank.

The vehicle's fuel tank indicator has suddenly become faulty. The needle for fuel capacity showed about 1/4 gas tank full, yet my van stopped in the middle of the street. There was no gas in the vehicle, yet the indicator showed 1/4th available. It was a big inconvenience, I had get emergency help for fuel, etc. I was lucky it happened when I was in the right lane of a slow moving road that had a shoulder on the right. I was also fortunate to carry my cell phone with me at the time of that journey ! I took it to the repair shop, they replaced the fuel tank, etc. The problem occured again even after the fix. The technicians pointed out to a report on NHTSA site that points to a open ticket for this model and issue.

While traveling on a highway the van lost power and stopped. The gas gauge showed the tank was half full, however there was no gas in the tank. The incident happened on a busy highway, and there were children in the car. 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 three people. The problem with the gas gauge has been confirmed by a Nissan dealer as well as an independent car mechanic. Please recall the gas gauge in Nissan Quest before someone dies!. . . Updated 04-10-14.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that the fuel gauge indicator displayed inaccurate information and as a result the vehicle stalled and began to hesitate because the fuel tank was empty. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel gauge needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 92,000.

Beginning in February 2014 my Quest, owned for less than 6 months at that date, ran out of fuel when gauge still read 1/8 of a tank remained. Low fuel light did not come on, car simply stalled out and left me stranded on the side of a busy road. This had since happened four more times in the following five months. One incident left me stranded on a freeway offramp for nearly an hour with several close calls. I find it unacceptable that a vehicle I purchased from a dealer, less than a year ago, is this unreliable and untrustworthy! I don't feel safe having my family in this vehicle!.

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.

This has happened to me on two occasions now. Driving along in peak traffic and suddenly vehicle shuts off. No power steering and almost involved in accidents both occasions the first time I was alone the second time I had my grand babies with me and that was terriffing for them as the other road users where whizzing past and they were stopped. Both times I looked at the digital reading on the display and it displayed the miles as 80 miles to empty and 60 miles to empty and the manual gauge still showed just under 1/4 tank left. The low fuel light never came on either time. This needs to be sorted out before some one gets killed especially as this is used to transport children. . . . Updated 04-10-14.

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.

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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the fuel gauge incorrectly displayed that the fuel tank was half full. The engine stalled without warning due to the empty fuel tank level. The vehicle was refueled and resumed normally. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage 152,617. Mah.

While driving the vehicle on December 1, 2012, I came to a stop at the red light. When the light changed, I put my foot on the gas pedal and it moved slightly then just coasted, (through the light) and came to a stop in the right turn lane of the parking lot. Fortunately, there were only a few cars behind me and I made it through the intersection. I tried to start the vehicle but to no avail. I called a tow truck and the local Nissan dealership to let them know I was on the way. When the driver arrived, he put my vehicle on the tow truck and drove to the kroger gas island in the parking lot. He put $5 in the tank but nothing happened. At the Nissan dealership I explained what happened. The invoice reads: customer states the car stalled out cause: gas gauge shorted out and stuck on 1 (that's all that printed). I had 1/2 tank of gas when this happened. I keep track of mileage and fill-ups. It took more days to correct the problem than initially discussed. They would call and let us know that something didn't work when providing a status update. Finally they told us they believe the problem to be fixed. We picked up my vehicle on December 6, 2012, and paid over $775 for the repairs. I have tried to contact the dealership (left voice mail, left message with person, and sent email) but haven't heard back yet. I believe the problem I experienced is the same as the notification/ recall campaign and 1) my vehicle should be reviewed to make sure the problem is 'corrected' and 2) a full refund to be made as this incident is in line with the documented information in the recall campaign. Nissan has the paperwork to go back and confirm this repair. The nhrta action number I found is pe14012. (model years 2007-2009).

I was traveling on a state road at approx. 50 mph. I was beginning to start a curvy hill and pressed the gas pedal with no response. There was no engine revving heard and the tachometer had dropped to zero and all dash lights were on as if I had just turned the key to the 'on' position to start it. There was no low fuel light and the fuel gauge indicated 1/4 tank. I tried turning the engine over, but it wouldn't crank as if it was out of gas. Thankfully there was no one behind me coming around the blind curve or else someone would have been severely injured or worse. I pressed the trip button several times on the data display and it was flashing asterisk as if it was out of gas. I walked 2 miles to a gas station and put a gallon of gas in the tank and the car van cranked right up which indicated the van was out of gas, but the fuel gauge and low fuel light was faulty. This has occurred 3 other times with my wife driving alone. Once was on a u. S. Hwy. It appears there's a bad fuse or bad sensor, but we're not sure and I've not seen any recalls on this. Now we just have to keep an eye on the data display once the fuel hits a half tank. It's just not something you think to do while driving. I at least wish the trip display would pop up as a low fuel backup, but when your children are watching a dvd or the radio is on and you're concentrating on driving you don't think to press the trip button to check the dte. I wish someone would come up with a solution or show a recall. We are desperate and afraid someone will either be injured or it will do damage to the van. We can't afford to take to the dealer to pay a high price b/c my wife is in school. Please help!.

Fuel ran out and locked steering and stalled vehicle in middle of 4 lane highway while fuel gauge showed half full tank. Nissan dealer found no fault in fuel gauge in may 28 2013, but 3 further similar incidents took place until we stopped depending on fuel gauge and refill every 100 miles.
