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. …
While getting onto a freeway (dark/raining/pm), the vehicle shut down without warning. This caused a complete power failure to the power brakes and power steering. This created a immediate hazard. Also, this left my wife and two kids stranded. The vehicle showed about a 1/4 tank of gas on the dash and the digital readout in the center console said 68 miles to empty. I towed the vehicle home. Prior to doing diagnostic work I put a gallon of gas in. The vehicle started right up. I filled up the tank thinking maybe the float/sensor May have stuck. Again the van without warning shut down completely. This time it was in a residential area. The gas gauge showed 1/4 tank and center console computer read 66 miles to empty. I placed 5 gallons in and it started right up. This is dangerous because the fuel light doesn't come on and there is no warning when the car will shut down. …
I was driving from pekin to work in peoria and noticed that I had a little less than 1/4 tank of fuel so I figured I would be able to get gas on the way home. When I checked the trip gage it said that I had 8 miles to go before I ran out of gas. That is a huge difference than what my gas gauge said. I stopped and got gas immediately and while doing so I noticed that it took 17 gallons of gas. If it had actually had a 1/4 tank in it there is no way that I should be able to put 17 gallons of gas in an 18 gallon tank. I have called my Nissan dealership about it and was told there was no recollection of this being an issue. This isn't the first time it has happened but I cannot remember the first time it happened. Since this has been happening I have been keeping track of my mileage and filling up according to my mileage records. …
I bought a 2007 Nissan Quest with 138000 miles and a full tank of gas according to the according to the needle. With just 130 driven in 5 days I lose all power steering and brakes on a busy road. After leaving my car at a mechanic shop for the weekend I came across my paperwork which included a campaign notice regarding the fuel gauge and that I should take my car to a dealership for them to replace once the parts become available at my cost to me for repair. After finding out there was absolutely no gas in the van I went to the dealership and they state there is nothing they can do. Even though I have written notice that they will repair at no cost for labor and parts they will not honor their notice. I must now pay out of my own pocket.
While driving the vehicle at approximately 35mph the engine suddenly stopped running and the vehicle drifted to a stop. All attempts t restart the vehicle failed. The gas gauge indicated that the fuel tank had approximately 1/3 of a tank of gas remaining. I spent just a few minute searching the internet for people having similar problems with the same make and model (2007 Nissan Quest). The search uncovered lots of complaints about faulty gas gauges indicating improper fuel levels. So I poured a few gallons of gas into the fuel system and the vehicle started. I have since had the vehicle quit running 2 more times under similar circumstances. Each time more fuel is added and the vehicle starts with no trouble.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled and all the warning lights illuminated. The contact mentioned that the ability to steer seized. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was able to come to a complete stop. However, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle had to be towed home. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
The ECM (computer) is placement is under windshield. Which over time allows water to run down into the ECM causing erosion and holes in the housing and computer. Then water gets into the computer causing it fail communicating or not properly communicating with the car. This problem that Nissan does not want to own. My computer is damaged due to its placement and water hitting over time. This has caused the car to shake and send errors that cause the cylinder to miss fire. I was driving and the service engine light came on and flashed.
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.
When you start to take off at stop sign or red light the transmission jerks an knocks when it starts changing gears . An sometimes cuts the engine off sometimes inmiddle of traffic. <my two grankids have to ride inn this poj >
My A/C is running while itsince turned off I tried disconnecting the battery to reset it nothing works also when I drive the Quest at high speed and try to stop the front end of the car shakes while I'm slowing down
