general problems of the 2011 Nissan Quest

My vehicle is experiencing the issue under recall NHTSA id 12v076000: fuel supply issue that could cause engine stalling. Specifically, due to a programming error, the fuel pump might not supply enough fuel to the engine when driving at slow speeds or idling downhill with a ¼ tank or less of fuel.

If I push the brakes to make the car stop, then try to have it accelerate again, like at a stop sign or anything, the gas pedal feels like it’s not doing anything, and the car doesn’t start for like 5 seconds, then when it does it goes about 5 mph for like 500 feet, then it goes back to normal, and because of this we feel it’s not safe to operate. This happens every time I drive it, so I only feel safe on not very populated roads driving it.

Acceleration from a full stop is unreliable. The issue is most prominent when going up a slight incline and will continue until the vehicle is able to level off, when acceleration resumes to normal response. Even on level road surfaces, the acceleration is inconsistent once accelerator is pressed. This has been a consistent issue for well over a year.

My 2011 Nissan Quest, while driving my van the gas peddle doesn't seem to respond at times. I was almost hit on the highway driving st 65 on a 70 mph, stepping on the gas the peddle would not respond and the speed started to decline. While driving trying to make a left turn stepping on the gas the van wouldn't respond.

There have been 3 instances where our van has stalled sitting on an incline with a quarter or so of gas left. There is an open recall for the 2011 Quest but mine doesn't fall under the same manufacture date range. After researching, I found that this seems to be a wide spread problem with the Quest over several years not just 2011. I took it to the dealer to have them research and they said they have never heard of that before. They suggested purchasing a fuel sending unit to fix the problem. If it was just a problem with the gauge then why would the car stall on a hill with plenty of gas left? I am worried about what will happen if I am actually traveling down a hill at speed and my car stalls.

This is the 3rd time the car stalled when about a quarter left in fuel. This seems to happen on inclines. It seems very unsafe for my wife and family. I called Nissan and they said the fuel computer was fixed and they can't do anymore.
