Fuel/propulsion system
78 reports
“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.”

“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.”

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.
