2007 Nissan Quest

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS PROVIDING INCORRECT READING LEVELS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER A MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN FOR THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN MY VAN. THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS BEEN ON WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN WHEN I START THE CAR THE NEXT TIME IT WON'T BE ON. BUT IF I TURN IT OFF IT STARTS BLOWING. ALSO, THE RADIO WILL QUIT WHENEVER IT DECIDES TO. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LISTENING TO THE RADIO AND IT WILL MAKE A LOUD POP AND THEN A HIGH PITCHED SOUND UNTIL I TURN THE RADIO OFF. IT WON'T WORK AGAIN UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF A WHILE THEN RESTARTED. I WILL LOOSE ALL THE SETTINGS ON MY RADIO. I AM WORRIED THAT IF THERE IT TROUBLE WITH THAT STUFF WHAT ELSE MIGHT STOP. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE 2008/9(NOT SURE). THE AIR WAS THE PROBLEM THE FIRST. ABOUT THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF THE RADIO HAS BEEN STOPPING MORE AND MORE. I DON'T WANT THE OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS TO START ACTING UP. IF THE LIGHTS START GOING I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE THING. I AM WANTING TO KNOW IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS COMPLAINT???? PLEASE HELP

I RAN OUT OF GAS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. BOTH TIMES I THOUGHT I HAD PLENTY OF GAS DUE TO WHAT THE GAUGE SAID. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD MY 2 KIDS WITH ME AND IT RAN OUT AS I WAS GOING AROUND AN UNFAMILIAR CURVE IN THE INTERSTATE. THE VAN BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN A LANE NEXT TO A SHOULDER SO I WAS ABLE TO FIGHT IT OFF OF THE ROAD. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STOP AT THAT POINT. THE SECOND TIME, I HAD 7 PEOPLE IN THE CAR INCLUDING MY 2 KIDS AND 4 OF THEIR YOUNG FRIENDS. THIS TIME IT RAN OUT JUST AS I CAME TO A CURVE ON A ROAD WHERE PEOPLE TEND TO SPEED. I DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP THE VAN FROM CROSSING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE, BUT LUCKY FOR US, NOBODY WAS IN THE OTHER LANE AT THAT TIME. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BOTH TIMES I MISSED VERY IMPORTANT MEETINGS BUT WAS THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TO RESET MY MILEAGE COUNTER WHEN I FILL UP AND WATCH TO MAKE SURE I DON'T PUSH IT TO FAR, BUT ALWAYS AFRAID I MAY GUESS INCORRECTLY. I AM PROBABLY FILLING UP AT 1/2 TANK FOR FEAR OF STALLING AGAIN WITH MY KIDS IN THE VAN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, I THOUGHT I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE. I HAD MY VAN IN FOR SERVICE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND ASKED THEM ABOUT IT. THEY LOOKED IT UP AND SAID THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THAT WAS AROUND 2015/03. I AM TIRED OF CONSTANTLY FILLING UP, SO I AM LOOKING INTO HOW TO GET IT FIXED. THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FAULTY GAUGE ISSUE.

WHILE TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL ON 1-27-2016, MY WIFE CALLED ME AND SAID HER CAR JUST QUIT AND WON'T START. LUCKILY I WAS OFF WORK THAT DAY AND WAS ABLE TO TOW THE MINIVAN HOME. THINKING IT WAS A MINOR ISSUE WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR REPAIR. I EXPECTED THEM TO CHANGE A FUEL FILTER OR MAYBE A FUEL PUMP BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND IS GOING TO NEED MAJOR REPAIR. AT ONLY 85000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN AREA OF CONCERN. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE FOUND MANY LAWSUITS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT KEPT INSTALLING THE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS AND WON'T DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, EVEN WHEN I SPENT AN EXTRA 3500 DOLLARS FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I REALIZE THERE IS NATURALLY GOING TO BE PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE, BUT SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS NOT WHAT YOUR THINKING ABOUT WITH UNDER 100,000 MILES. FOR NISSAN TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NOT ADDRESS OR CORRECT THE FAULT IS SHAMEFUL. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THEY KEPT KNOWINGLY USING THE FAULTY COMPONENTS FOR YEARS. OUR WHOLE SOCIETY SEEMS TO BE RELEGATED TO CUTTING CORNERS, AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS, TO GET AHEAD; NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE.

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.

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.
