My van has 120k miles on it. For the past one year, I have been dealing with a rattle sound in the engine. It comes on a cold start and would go away after a couple of minutes. My mechanic took a look and said these nissan engines have a known issue with the timing chain. Lately the rattle sound keeps coming for more than 5 minutes. I am afraid this will cause some other problem in the engine that would stall the engine while running on the road. Nissan should issue a recall and fix this timing chain issue, which it already knows about.

I ran out of gas on two separate occasions. Both times I thought I had plenty of gas due to what the gauge said. The first time, I had my 2 kids with me and it ran out as I was going around an unfamiliar curve in the interstate. The van became very hard to steer. Lucky for me I was in a lane next to a shoulder so I was able to fight it off of the road. It was very hard to stop at that point. The second time, I had 7 people in the car including my 2 kids and 4 of their young friends. This time it ran out just as I came to a curve on a road where people tend to speed. I did not have the strength to keep the van from crossing into the oncoming lane, but lucky for us, nobody was in the other lane at that time. I was able to coast off of the opposite side of the road. Both times I missed very important meetings but was thankful to be alive. I have since learned to reset my mileage counter when I fill up and watch to make sure I don't push it to far, but always afraid I may guess incorrectly. I am probably filling up at 1/2 tank for fear of stalling again with my kids in the van. After the first time, I thought I received a notice about a problem with the gauge. I had my van in for service at the local nissan dealer and asked them about it. They looked it up and said they did not see anything about it. That was around 2015/03. I am tired of constantly filling up, so I am looking into how to get it fixed. That is how I found out about all the other complaints about the faulty gauge issue.

This is probably the 4th time I have stalled out I loose power steering when car stalls and I was driving in a lot of traffic. The first time it happened I was on the free way. Gas gauge shows I have over a quarter of a tank the distance to empty shows that I have any where from 18-70 miles left and I stall out. After putting gas in the tank the car functions again. There is no illuminated light, no notification in the form of a sound or ding. I watch my miles but when you vary between in town and highway miles they are not always the same. I have driven 400 miles before needing to fill up and 283 miles on the odometer when tank has emptied and stalled out. I have been driving for 19 years without ever running out of gas in at least 14 other vehicles, and I have run out 4 times because of this faulty gauge in the nissan quest. Very frustrating!!!

My fuel gauge showed about a quarter tank of gas and I was driving at about 35 MPH when it suddenly stalled. Luckily there were no cars behind me and I was able to coast to the shoulder. I got the car towed to the shop . There were co check engine light or any codes. The shop after testing the fuel pump and other things figured out is was empty on gas. Once we put gas, it was good to go. This is a safety hazard. What if it happens on a busy highway where I am not able to pull over to the shoulder. I see that there has been similar complaints, but there is no re-call. Please re-open the case.

While driving the vehicle on december 1, 2012, I came to a stop at the red light. When the light changed, I put my foot on the gas pedal and it moved slightly then just coasted, (through the light) and came to a stop in the right turn lane of the parking lot. Fortunately, there were only a few cars behind me and I made it through the intersection. I tried to start the vehicle but to no avail. I called a tow truck and the local nissan dealership to let them know I was on the way. When the driver arrived, he put my vehicle on the tow truck and drove to the kroger gas island in the parking lot. He put $5 in the tank but nothing happened. At the nissan dealership I explained what happened. The invoice reads: customer states the car stalled out cause: gas gauge shorted out and stuck on 1 (that's all that printed). I had 1/2 tank of gas when this happened. I keep track of mileage and fill-ups. It took more days to correct the problem than initially discussed. They would call and let us know that something didn't work when providing a status update. Finally they told us they believe the problem to be fixed. We picked up my vehicle on december 6, 2012, and paid over $775 for the repairs. I have tried to contact the dealership (left voice mail, left message with person, and sent email) but haven't heard back yet. I believe the problem I experienced is the same as the notification/ recall campaign and 1) my vehicle should be reviewed to make sure the problem is 'corrected' and 2) a full refund to be made as this incident is in line with the documented information in the recall campaign. Nissan has the paperwork to go back and confirm this repair. The nhrta action number I found is pe14012. (model years 2007-2009)

While driving the vehicle engine suddenly cut off and stopped running. Had vehicle towed to nissan dealer and was told fuel pump had to be replaced costing $1163.31. Then on december 15, 2014 while driving the vehicle stalled. Had fuel delivered and started right up, the fuel gauge indicated 1/4 tank left when it stalled. Once filled I monitored usage and concluded the gauge is off by 1/4 tank or more. Tried to have this covered as part of the pervious repair but they could not commit that this was part of the previous repair. Then in january I received notice of the fuel gauge recall pe14012. When I called the dealer they indicated my vehicle VIN was not shown to have a problem even though I have exactly the described problem. I have just received notice that this now a known problem and to call the dealer to schedule fuel gauge repair. How many others have had a similar failure which I believe is an extended part of this recall. The initial repair should be part of this recall and any charged paid for this should be refunded.

Vehicle stalled on morning drive to work. Over 1/4 tank of gas according to gas gauge. Had vehicle towed to auto repair where they determined it was a failed fuel pump. When the removed the gas tank to replace the fuel pump the mechanic said there was very little gas in the tank. They replaced the fuel pump and charged me $736.00. When they tested the original fuel pump, it operated below the manufacturers specifications. The mechanic stated that trying to restart the engine with little gas in the tank (faulty gas gauge) caused the original fuel pump to overheat.

The vehicle stalled out and would not restart. The fuel gauge read 1/4 of a tank but the vehicle acted like it was out of gas. We put gas in the vehicle and it started. We were informed there was an investigation into the fuel gauge problem but no solution. When I looked it up online it says investigation is closed. We have been told to keep our vehicle over a 1/2 of a tank at all times but this has been ongoing for several months and still no resolution! I am not happy with nissan and this is the second problem that nissan has not stood behind and no recall at this time!
