“THE FUEL INDICATION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DEPARTING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL TO A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO FILL THE TANK VIA A GAS CAN TO MAKE IT TO THE STATION. GAS LIGHT CAME ON TONIGHT MARCH 15TH WHILE IN INTERSTATE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES AND PARKED. INDICATOR AT THE TIME STILL SAID WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES. PARKED ON A DECLINE AND CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN WE RETURNED. AGAIN FILLED TANK WITH A GALLON OF GAS AND DROVE TO STATION WHERE WE FILLED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 14 GALLONS. 14 GALLONS + 1 GALLON FROM CAN = 15 GALLONS....IN A SUPPOSED 20 GALLON TANK? THE MATH ISN'T ADDING UP. LUCKILY OUR CHILDREN HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE CAR ON EITHER OCCURRENCE NOR HAVE WE STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 NISSAN QUEST FUEL TANK OR PUMP WHICH IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OR NOT START WHEN THERE IS MORE THAN 4-5 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. THERE ARE COUNTLESS FORUMS ONLINE NOW THAT WE HAVE JUST FOUND TONIGHT WITH PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY EXPERIENCING THE SAME…”

“THIS CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME 5 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH! I HAVE HAD TO HAVE GAS DELIVERED TO ME ALL OF THESE TIME TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. ON MOST OF THESE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD OVER 1/4 TAKE AND HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS ON INDICATION FUEL LEVEL WAS LOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT. WE TOOK THE VAN IN FOR SERVICE AND WERE FIST TOLD THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT THEN ANOTHER WORKER TOLD US THEY JUST HAD SOMEONE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE TANK YET THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. MY DEALERSHIP IS MOSSY NISSAN OF OCEANSIDE CA, AND THEY HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE. WE ARE DRIVING ACROSS THE US ON MILITARY ORDERS IN THIS VAN WITH OUR 2 SMALL CHILDREN, AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT WE WILL BE FORCED TO DRIVE IN A DEATHTRAP. NISSAN NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THESE ARE FAMILY VANS, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THERE TO BE A MASS RECALL? THE DEATH OF A FAMILY? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW?? *TR”

“WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILL THE CAR WILL STALL IF THE GAS TANK READS LESS THAN 90 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TOWN. TODAY THIS HAPPENED WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THE VAN STALLED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHICH CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN IS "WORKING" ON FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR US. *TR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ONE QUARTER FULL AND THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A SLOPE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,567.”
