2005 Nissan Quest: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Dec 14, 2015 · Electrical · IL

While driving the instrument panel goes in and out making it difficult to see speed, fuel level, temp, turning signals, rpms, and everything else necessary to drive safely. Sometimes while the panel comes back to working properly it enables the overdrive causing the engine to jolt while driving. During research I found there are too many complaints from other people that are experiencing the same issue and dealers quoting them in the 700- thousands of dollars to fix, this should be a recall and a free repair as this is a safety issue and it's affecting too many vehicles.

Fuel gauge is not displaying as well as the odometer and temperature- previous owners have the same issue and current litigation had been placed for same model and same or different years.. Air bag sensor on front seat passenger is not active but a small adult is on the seat. Similar recalls had been happening on this model but not expanding through many VIN#s brake- similar recalls had been happening on this model but not expanding through many VIN#s. An accident doesn't need to happen in order to recall those car that are suffering the same diagnosis on current/approved recalls. An action must be taken.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan quest. The contact stated that the vehicle was equipped with a digital fuel level gauge, mileage meter and temperature meter on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the numbers on the different meters were erased and were no longer visible. The contact was unable to tell the vehicle's temperature or how much fuel was in the vehicle, as well as being unable to determine the current mileage. The vehicle was taken to dealer where the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and a claim was filed. The current and failure mileage was 50,800.

2005 nissan quest had less than a 1/4 tank of gas and light was on. Was at dealership getting brakes replaced for the 4th time. Took van to gas station next door and put 16 gallons ($62) of gas in. Restarted car and gas tank still read less than 1/4 and empty light/warnings still flashing. Drove back to dealership, they tried to reset and ended up disconnecting the battery. Once the battery was reconnected the fuel gauge showed full. This was oct 2011 with 46,000mi. It is now april and car has 55,000mi. I was unable to disconnect battery so had to continue driving with warning light. After about 20mi, gauge now reads less than 1/2 tank but tank should be reading full. There was already a recall for a number of nissan vehicles for gas gauge issues. Clearly a nissan issue that needs to be recalled and fixed across the board. Having to disconnect the battery to get the fuel gauge to read is not a good long term solution. Also this van goes through brakes at an astounding rate. We have had to replace the brake pads front and back 4 times in the last 30,000 mi and now need new rotors. Also have replaced tires 3 times. Most recent mechanic said van was poorly designed with brakes and tires meant for a much lighter vehicle.

Car was on e with light on. Put $60 of gas in approx 16 gal. Car should have been full. Restarted car and gas gauge stayed on e. Turned car off, restarted multiple times. Gas gauge moved to 2 bars. Dealership disconnected battery and when reconnected gas gauge moved to full. Pushed button in rear tailgate to close tailgate door, front windows rolled up instead. Stopped @ stop sign and then went to accelerate. Car RPM's went up to 4.5 then acted like I had taken my foot off the gas and dropped down to below 1 and shot back up to 4 and back down to 1, and then finally kicked into gear and went forward. Luckily no other cars around or could've caused accident. Dealer said they could look but unless I could duplicate above listed incidences they wouldn't be able to figure out what was wrong. Passenger sliding doors freeze shut in winter. Kids have to climb in through the front doors.

I have nissan quest 2005 model VIN no. [xxx] which I purchased pre owned in oct 2010 at that time fuel gauge shows that fuel has 3/4 tank even though I fill up,I thought it may be corrected but now even I fill up it shows me half tank and when it reached half tank it shows it is empty. Sometime I wonder what is this while I am on road and I have to look for gas station to fill up and I if don't fill up and really empty I possibility of sudden stoppage of vehicle on road which can lead to accident. I went to forum and nissan vehicle have problem of fuel gauge and recall 2007 onwards but what about vehicle 2005-05 -06 which have same problem. I request your owner to order recall procedure for those vehicles also. When I purchased vehicle mileage was 87k.

I have had the van in the shop at least 4 times(~15 days) with ongoing problems which include: the windows failing to roll up when button is pushed, the gas gauge failing to register gas after filling it up, the gas meter after a half a tank never registers correctly (when light indicates no gas and tank is filled the van will only take 16 gallons and owners manual indicates a 20 gallon tank), the transmission slips, the sliding doors squeak and rattle, rear interior clamps on floor of car are rusting, idiot lights come on intermittently, the gaskets on the doors are coming off, the heated seats haven't worked in high and low, the entertainment system doesn't respond to rear av, and the air conditioner is not cool enough and it stinks. The automatic slide doors will not stop for small objects but this product was designed for families. These doors will remove a child's finger and the switch to initiate the auto slide is low, where one child can push it while another is getting in, or has their hand in the way and didn't realize their brother pushed the button. I did my own little research test, I got pencils and everywhere I placed a pencil the door closed with the pencil being snapped into many pieces and crunched up in the door. Then I tried the same thing on my friend's honda, but the honda's auto slide doors bounced off every time. Nissan only designed their doors to respond to large extremities. I have an attorney and I am going through a process for lemon law. I didn't realize the issues with the van in a few days so I don't think nissan service will resolve all these issues in 2 days with a special nissan engineer sent out from the company as part of my lemon law process. And in regards to the sliding door concerns all anyone will say is that the doors are performing the way they were designed to. So nissan designed a product for families that will remove a small hand or finger.
