THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO CLEAR THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD, WHICH CREATED A BLIND SPOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34. UPDATED 7/15/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE STALLING HAS PROGRESSED, WHICH ALSO OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. UPDATED 07/22/13

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2012 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED ABNORMALLY AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER PRIOR TO THE FAILURE FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V076000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE). THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE THERE WERE NO FAILURES PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BEING SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

I WAS PARKED ON A SLOPE, WITH ABOUT 1/8 A TANK OF GAS AND THE VAN WOULD NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND ROLLED IT TO LEVEL GROUND. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL, WHICH I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT. I TOOK THE VAN INTO THE LOCAL NISSAN SHOP AND THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL FIX. WHEN I ASKED WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE DATES COVERED BY THE RECALL, BUT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE (AND THAT THE DATES IN THE RECALL MUST BE "OFF"). THE RECALL NUMBER IS 12V076000, IT COVERS VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 7/29/2010 AND 2/21/2012. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 2/23/2012, AND HAS THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2012 NISSAN QUEST (PURCHASED VEHICLE ON 04/15/2012), I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE CAR STATED THERE WAS NO MORE GAS, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A QUARTER TANK. CARS BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND LUCKILY WE WERE NOT HIT. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND AFTER COASTING DOWN THE HILL AND REACHING A LEVEL PART OF THE ROAD, MY CAR STARTED AGAIN AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD A QUARTER TANK. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I LEARNED THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL CAMPAIGN (NHTSA RECALL 12V076) ON THE 2012 QUEST AND THE REMEDY WAS NOT PERFORMED PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS AGAINST REGULATIONS AS THE RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS STARTED BY NISSAN BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ON 06/20/2012 (1 DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT) I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER TO BE REPAIRED AND THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AT TOWN CENTER NISSAN UNDER R/O NUMBER 6012078/1. ON SEPTEMBER 26TH I STARTED TO TURN INTO AN INTERSECTION ON A GREEN ARROW WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AND SAID I WAS OUT OF GAS, (A MINUTE PRIOR TO THAT THE CAR SAID I HAD 37 MILES AND A QUARTER TANK LEFT). I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED (THE CAR HAD TO SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE) AND GOOD SAMARITANS PUSHED ME INTO A PARKING LOT CLOSE BY. I REALIZE THAT NHTSA HAS ALREADY ACTED ON THE PROBLEM MY CAR EXPERIENCED, BUT I FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE WITH REGARDS TO THE DEALER "GWINNETT PLACE NISSAN" WHO SOLD ME THE CAR WITHOUT FIRST FIXING THE PROBLEM (SINCE IT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR). I ALSO WANT NHTSA TO BE AWARE THAT THE "FIX" SO FAR HAS NOT WORKED FOR MY VEHICLE. WE ARE GIVING THEM A "FINAL REPAIR OPPORTUNITY NOTICE" VIA THE LEMON LAW. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED ON A PARKING LOT ON A VERY SLIGHT DECLINE. LOW FUEL INDICATOR JUST CAME ON BUT DISTANCE TO EMPTY INDICATOR STILL SHOWS 50+ MILES. VEHICLE STARTED AT FIRST BUT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THEN ENGINE DIED. TRIED RESTARTING A FEW TIMES BUT IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE FINE (RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC). HAD TO PUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS TO GET IT TO START AGAIN. DROVE TO THE GAS STATION RIGHT AWAY AND FILLED IT UP WITH ONLY 14.5 GALLONS OF TANK. MANUAL SAYS VEHICLE HAS 20 GALLON FUEL TANK CAPACITY. I WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL (CAMPAIGN: 12V076000) BUT INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED SINCE THE CAMPAIGN WAS BACK IN MARCH 2012 AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2012. WAS LATER CONFIRMED BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR THAT MY CAR WAS INDEED NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, CAR SHOWS SIMILAR SYMPTOMS WITH SAME MODEL CARS THAT WERE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT ACCURATELY DISPLAYING THE LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH DUE TO LOW FUEL ALTHOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE TANK WAS HALF FULL. THE CONTACT INQUIRED WITH THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER: 12V076000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE) BEFORE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR GENERATE A TROUBLE DURING THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. UPDATED 7/31/12 *CN UPDATED 08/01/12

MY NEW 2012 NISSAN QUEST GOES DEAD AND WILL NOT START WHEN SITTING ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE IN THE FRONT. IT HAS GAS BUT IT WILL SPUTTER AND WILL NOT START. MY DRIVEWAY GOES DOWNHILL AND I CANNOT EVEN PARK IN DRIVEWAY I HAVE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED I PUT VAN IN NEUTRAL TO POSSIBLY GET IT LEVEL AND WITHOUT NOTICE THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK WHEN IN NEUTRAL AND MY BRAND NEW VAN RAN THRU THE GARAGE DOOR!!!!! WHEN YOU PAY ALL THAT MONEY FOR A NISSAN THAT YOU CONSIDER RELIABLE REALLY BOTHERS ME!!! TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY WE WILL SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. *TR
