What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Nissan Quest, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim
Check engine light came on and says fuel level sensor circuit a low
1. Fuel Gauge- the fuel Hague is incorrect. I suspect somewhere between 1/2 tank and 3/8 tank will actually be an empty tank. I was almost left stranded when I could make it to the next service station. The car performed slow and the car came to a slow stop. No fuel indicator light came on. 2. My steering wheel has been very difficult to turn. Suddenly the power steering tank requires daily service. There is a rattling noise that gets a little better when I pour power steering fluid. I am unable to make safe turns due to the steering wheel no moving at it’s normal rate. Turning at intersections is the worst as I sometimes have to try several attempts. I end up having to take wide turns and that is not always safe in our narrow streets. There is no indicator light related to this concern.
Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2007 Nissan Quest. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 177,000. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the engine overheated and the vehicle lost automotive power. The contact made several attempts to restart the vehicle and continued driving. During one failure, the vehicle failed to start, and the vehicle was towed to the residence. The failure became more persistent over time and had occurred approximately five times. The vehicle failed to start and had to be towed twice. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start and went into LIMP Mode. Several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. While driving at approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle continued to go into LIMP Mode. The vehicle was restarted several times and driven to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was inspected by a certified mechanic, who discovered that the vehicle had been subjected to odometer fraud. The mechanic informed the contact that the actual mileage on the vehicle was 230,000. The contact reached out to the Griffin Police Department, reported the odometer fraud, and was then informed to fill out a small claims case.
I JUST REPLACED ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THEY HAVE GONE BAD AGAIN. AFTER LOOKING UP MANY FORUMS ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW. WHY HAS THIS NOT BECOME A RECALL ON NISSAN'S PART? ARE MOTOR MOUNTS NOT A CONCERN? EVERYONE IS STATING THAT NO MATTER WHAT THEY USE, EITHER AFTERMARKET OR GENUINE NISSAN PARTS, THEY ALL FAIL.
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.

THE GAS GAUGE MUST BE FAULTY. IF I FILL UP MAY MOVE OR NOT. USUALLY SHOWS EMPTY. THE VAN MAY BE MOVING OR SITTING STILL . I CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 68,000 VANS THAT WERE REPAIRED. I THINK THE PART IS CALLED SENDER UNIT.

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.

NO SPARE TIRE PROVIDED WITH VEHICLE. TIRE WAS PUNCTURED AND COULD NOT DRIVE ON THE "RUN FLAT" TIRES. *TR
OUR TIRE WENT FLAT. WE FOUND OUT A "SPECIAL" DEALER HAD TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE TIRE & THERE WAS NO SPARE DUE TO US HAVING "RUN-FLAT" (MICHELIN PAX) TIRES. WE GOT A LIST OF THE ONLY 3 DEALERS AROUND OUR AREA THAT ARE CERTIFIED FOR THESE TIRES BUT WHEN WE CALLED THEM THEY TELL US THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED. NO BIG DEAL EXCEPT WE FIND OUT THIS RU-FLAT TIRE IS THE ONLY TIRE THAT CAN FIT ON THIS RIM!! & THIS RIM IS THE ONLY RIM THAT CAN FIT ON THIS VAN!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! SO I HAVE A FLAT TIRE & NOW MY VAN IS IMMOBILE & IRREPARABLE! *TR
