1994 Nissan Quest: engine stalls while driving

Filed Dec 2, 2003 · Engine · CA

Vehicle engine stalled without warning.*mr engine was replaced and stalled again from city speed to highway speed. The check engine light illuminated. The oxygen sensor was replaced and the light continued to illuminate. After 2.5 hours of electrical testing, nothing was found. The existing stalling is repaired by shutting the A/C off to provide the engine with power. The prevention is to use higher octane gas, omit overdrive and avoid using the A/C. Nissan asked that the consumers wait for the vehicle to break so they could find the cause. The engine itself broke at 59k miles. There was a recall on the crankshaft and camshaft system. But the 1994 models the sensor is in the distributor.

These are all safety issues!!!! Vehicle has had a fuel odor for a long time after refueling, condition worsened results: fuel vent hose: when refueling, gas began to profusely leak and pool beneath vehicle. Fixed at my cost. Fuel hoses: very strong fuel fumes from engine compartment, dealer replaced two fuel rail rubber hoses at my expense. Most problematic is an intermittent stalling problem: after sitting, within first 5 miles of driving when stopping or at low speed vehicle stalls. Happens in intersections, approaching stops, in slow rush hour traffic. Fuel pump replaced, coolant sensor replaced, fuel regulator checked. Dealer can't duplicate, nissan contacted. But the problem continues and occurs at the worst times-intesections, heavy slow traffic or attempting to stop. Stalls and no power!!! It starts back up and sometimes stalls again repeatedly for several times or days or not for weeks. Next problem: ABS light comes on, traced to blown ignition fuse. Happened twice. Dealer doesn't know why. I have many more repairs, but these are the safety related ones. Thanks for your time and efforts. The stalling is the most troublesome, I know two other quest owners who've also experienced it!!

About two years ago, we bought a nissan quest from first nissan in simi valley, california. Less than a month after we bought it the engine stalled while making a left turned. We took the car back to the nissan car dealer but they were not able to find the problem. During these two last years we have taken the car several times to three different nissan dealers, contacted nissan customer service, and pay repairs from our own pocket trying to fix the problem. The stalling happens in a random and occasional basis, which makes it difficult to fix it, but that at the same time, this makes it a very dangerous situation. It will stall without warning and in different situations and it is a life-threating situation. Nissan has not taken any responsibility, and they have ignored us for the most part. Althought the car was in a two year extended warranty they did little to solve the problem or to give as a solution that is safe for our family. They sold us a car that is potentially deadly, and they need to take responsibility for their own product. We don't know what to do. This car cannot be driven, sold, or fixed. What do we do with it? Please, let us know if you or someone else can help us on this matter. It is very frustrating that a big company like nissan can just put people in a very unsafe situation like this. Thank you.
