2007 Nissan Quest fuel/propulsion system problems

“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.”

“FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL BUT ISSUE STILL EXISTS. DEALER CLAIMS I NEED TO PAY TO DETERMINE IF IT IS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER ALSO CONFIRMED THEY DO NOT VERIFY THE RECALL WORK DONE WAS SUCCESSFUL. ALL THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS "PUT IN THE NEW PARTS". WHEN I FILL THE TANK WITHIN 5 MINS. IT GOES BACK TO EMPTY ON THE GAS GAUGE. THE RECALL DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.”

“THE FUEL GUAGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET, THEN ON A BUSY EXIT RAMP, ONCE ON INTERSTATE 695 IN BALTIMORE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY HIT BY TRAFFIC BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE.”

“FUEL GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHEN IT'S ALMOST FULL, NISSAN DID A FUEL SENDER CAMPAIGN REPAIR BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM...THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND DRIVE JUST A MILE OR SO”

“MY VAN FIRST CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING. EVEN THOUGH GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE FUEL WAS FULL. THEN IT CUTS OFF AGAIN AFTER THE SUPPOSED FIX BY THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CAMPAIGN ID #: P5318 FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT AS ALL OTHER CUSTOMERS WOULD NOTE, THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. WE NEED NISSAN TO LOOK INTO THIS ASAP. TOOK IT TO THE FIRST DEALERSHIP WHERE IT SPEND TWO AND HALF WEEKS AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE COMPUTER AND REPROGRAM WHICH COSTS THOUSAND OF DOLLARS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!”

“1.VECHICLE RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWED IT HAD 1/4 TANK AND DISPLAYED 24 MILES BEFORE EMPTY. WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. 2. VECHICLE VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING 40 MILES SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE TRANSMITION. 3.VECHICLE AS LOUD NOISE COMING FROM TIMING CHAIN AREA . ACCORDING TO MECHANIC THIS IS A COSTLY AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSANS. WHERE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE AS PERMATURE WARE CAUSING TIME CHAIN TO BECOME LOOSE AND CUASE NOISE COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE.”
