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.

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. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH KIDS IN BACK, AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL SHE STOPPED AT LEFT LANE TURN LEFT. WHEN LEFT GREEN SIGNAL WAS GIVEN, SHE RELEASED BRAKES AND COULDN'T MOVE AS INTENDED. SHE DESCRIBED TO ME THAT ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND AS IF ALL BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. SHE MADE SLOWLY LEFT TURN DRAGGING CAR AND STOPPED AT RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED ME ASKING THAT SHE IS UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR AND ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. SHE ALSO INFORMED THAT CAR IS AT SAFE AREA OF ROAD AND COULD ABLE TO GET OUT AND WALK TO KIDS ACTIVITY SCHOOL. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE LOCATION, COULDN'T START AND CALLED FOR AAA HELP. AAA TESTED BATTERY AND IT WAS OKAY; FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING SLIGHTLY BELOW TANK MARK. ASKED AAA TO TOW THE CAR TO MY HOME AS IT WAS GETTING LATE IN EVENING. WHILE LOOKING FOR DETAILS ON INTERNET FOR POSSIBLE CAUSES I NOTICED POSSIBILITIES OF WRONG FUEL INDICATION. SO ADDED A GALLON FUEL AND CAR STARTED AND WORKED NORMALLY. I AM PLANNED TO SWITCH THE CAR WITH MY WIFE TO TEST THIS CAR NEXT FEW WEEK FOR SAFE OPERATION. *TR

TOOK MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RATTLE, VIBRATION AND PULSING OUT OF THE FRONT END. SERVICE WRITER TELLS ME IT'S A TIMING CHAIN (NOT BELT) THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED HIM IF THAT WAS THE NOISE I HEARD (I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE) AND I WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T SURE AND THAT PROBABLY WASN'T THE NOISE I WAS HEARING. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HAVE THE VIBRATIONS WORSE, NOISE MORE PRONOUNCED AND THE THOUGHT OF A 2000.00 BILL ON THE HORIZON FOR A TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO PUSH AND CONSTANTLY PULL TO THE LEFT. ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES HAD NO EFFECT AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE VAN SEEMS UNSTABLE AT ENTRY HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NISSAN USA CLEARLY DOESN'T CARE SO I'M HOPING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEM. *TR

AT 60000 MILES HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER WHEEL BEARING AND ABS SENSOR IN THE VEHICLE. AT 90000 MILES A KNOCKING SOUND BEGAN TO COME FROM THE ENGINE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED OR IN PARK. MECHANIC ADVISED THIS WAS DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN, WHICH IS A PROBLEM DUE TO THE PLASTIC PARTS THAT NISSAN USES TO HOLD THE TENSION ON THE CHAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AS NUMEROUS COMPLAINANTS HAVE BEEN FILED. CONCERNED THAT NISSAN KNEW IT HAD A BAD COMPONENT AND HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT EXIST. ALSO, NOW THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AROUND 30000. FIXED THE BRAKES WITH OE PARTS, AND THEN BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS. TECHNICIAN ADVISED THESE PROBLEMS CAME FROM THE ROTORS GETTING HOT. HAD THE ROTORS TURNED WHICH DID NOT WORK. NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ROTORS ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WINDOW MOTOR ALSO HAS WENT BAD IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

2007 NISSAN QUEST BRAKE/ROTOR ISSUES. BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE WEARING RAPIDLY AT VERY LOW MILES. IT HAPPENED AT 45,000 MILES AND AGAIN EVERY YEAR SINCE. EVEN AFTER HAVING BRAKES AND ROTORS RESURFACED A FEW TIMES. CONTINUING PROBLEM. DEALER THINKS MAY BE DRIVING HABITS, BUT DEVICE PLACED ON CAR TO TRACK DRIVING BEHAVIOR BY INSURANCE COMPANY SHOWS NO HARD BRAKING. POSSIBILITY THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS SIMILAR ROTOR/BRAKE PROBLEM DUE TO WEIGHT OF VEHICLE OR IMPROPER COOLING LIKE TITAN TRUCK DID EARLY ON. A REAR END COLLISION MY WIFE HAD IN LATE 2009 MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE THIS PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM ON INTERNET VEHICLE PROBLEM SITES. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A 6% DOWNGRADE ON A FREEWAY IN MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. AT THE TIME (JAN 2008), THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS CONTINUOUSLY BRAKING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AT A SAFE SPEED. AS I WAS BRAKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSATE. THE PULSATIONS GOT LOUDER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE AS WE CONTINUED DOWN THE DOWNGRADE, TO THE POINT LIKE IF FELT THE BRAKES WERE ABOUT TO FAIL. SOON AFTER, IN JANUARY 2008, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN BELLEVUE, WA. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE ROTOR WAS WARPED. THEY RESURFACED THE ROTOR. AT 9 MONTHS LATER, AND AT 25,000 MILES (OCT 2008), THE PULSATIONS STARTED TO REOCCUR. I BROUGHT THE VAN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE SAME ROTOR THEY RESURFACED 9 MONTHS EARLIER. AGAIN AT 35,000 MILES IN JULY 2009, THE PULSATION PROBLEM RETURNED AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO UNITED NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS, BUT THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, CITING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BRAKES. FINALLY, IN OCTOBER 2009, I BROUGHT THE BRAKES TO A BRAKE SPECIALIST. THE SPECIALIST STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE, THE SAME BRAKE THAT HAD CONTINUOUS ROTOR WARPING, WAS DEFECTIVE DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE PIN CAUSING STICKING BETWEEN THE CALIPER AND PAD, WHICH WAS THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL THE WARPING AND PULSATIONS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN APRIL 2008 WITH ONLY 26 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS THAT WHEN GOING OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE RIGHT AWAY AND I HAD TO PUMP THEM ONCE OR TWICE TO GET THEM TO WORK MUCH LIKE MY 20 YEAR OLD CAR WHEN I WAS A TEEN. IN SEPT 08 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVING 35 MILES AN HOUR WITH A GOOD 5-6 CAR LENGTHS AWAY WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPPED AND I COULD NOT STOP. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO PUMP THE BRAKES AND WHEN I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKE IT WENT MUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HITTING MY HEAD AND GETTING A CONCUSSION. I WAS OUT OF WORK FOR 2 WEEKS, HAD OVER $6,000 DAMAGE TO MY VAN AND OVER $4,000 DAMAGE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHO THEN HIT THE VAN IN FRONT OF IT AND CAUSED $3,000 DAMAGE TO IT. IN TOTAL 4 PEOPLE WERE INJURED I WAS INJURED THE WORST AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL. WHEN THE BODY SHOP SENT MY VAN OVER TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK THE BRAKES THEY SAID THEY RESET THE ABS AND THEY SEEMED FINE. I TALKED TO THEM AND ASKED WHERE THEY TESTED THE BRAKES THEIR ANSWER WAS IN THEIR PARKING LOT AND AROUND THE BLOCK. I ASKED THEM TO DRIVE WITH ME OVER 35 MILES, THEY REFUSED AND SAID THE BRAKES WERE FINE. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE 10+ CAR LENGTHS BEHIND EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE TIME TO PUMP THE SOFT BRAKES. IF I HAD THE MONEY TO EAT THE COST OF BUYING A NEW VAN WHEN I STILL OWE SO MUCH ON THIS ONE I WOULD BE DOING IT NOW. *TR

OUR VEHICLE 2007 NISSAN QUEST WAS PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. WE ARE ALREADY REPLACING BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. WE HAVE HAD SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES RECENTLY WITH THE WINDOWS NOT ALWAYS WORKING. THE BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 30,000 MILES. WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH A VEHICLE THIS NEW OR THAT WE PAID THIS MUCH FOR. HAVE THERE BEEN PROBLEMS LIKE THIS REPORTED? *TR
