Fuel level gauge system failure
On May 8, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE14-012 to investigate allegations of inaccurate fuel tank fill level while driving resulting in the vehicle running out of fuel in model year (MY) 2007 Nissan Quest vehicles.During this investigation, Nissan identified a condition in the subject vehicles that may result in the fuel gauge falsely indicating more than the actual amount of fuel remaining in the gas tank. According to Nissan, the combination meter voltage divider circuit for the sender unit may have one of two resistors open or lifted resulting in a fuel gauge malfunction and inaccurate fuel level reading.When this condition occurs, the fuel gauge in the combination meter will continue to track the actual amount of fuel in the gas tank down to approximately one quarter of a tank.However, the fuel gauge will not go any lower which may cause drivers to run out of fuel unexpectedly.Additionally, ODI analyzed complaint data provided by Nissan as well as complaints submitted to ODI from consumers. In total, ODI identified 136 unique complaints indicating an inaccurate fuel level reading while driving in the subject vehicles. Seventy (70) fuel gauge related stalls were identified, resulting in a complaint rate of 1.85 incidents per thousand vehicles after approximately 8 years in service. In addition, analysis of warranty and combination meter part sales data provided by Nissan indicate a claim rate of less than 1% for all part replacements involving fuel gauge malfunctions.During PE14-012, Nissan developed a remedy procedure and issued Service Campaign PC 335 on approximately 68,003 MY 2007 through 2009 Nissan Quest vehicles.Owners of the affected vehicles will receive preliminary notification by mail recommending owners to keep fuel level above ? tank at all times until repair parts become available.Once the remedy kits become available, Nissan plans to send another letter to affected customers to take their vehicle to a Nissan dealer who will install an external amplifier box with jumper harness in the combination meter to bypass the electric circuit and ensure accurate fuel level indication.The bulletin was sent to dealers on December 19th, 2014 and the owner letter mailing began on December 31st, 2014. See the investigative file for copies of Nissan's dealer communication and owner letter. Based on the relatively low rate of engine stall incidents for vehicles that have been in service for 8-9 years, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information relating to the alleged defect and take further action in the future if warranted.The following VOQ numbers are associated with the issues discussed in this closing resume:10503555, 10505390, 10513356, 10525325, 10549839, 10551187, 10552937, 10559300, 10565794, 10567557, 10568302, 10574869, 10575303, 10588121, 10588843, 10594370, 10595029, 10597201, 10598275, 10608182, 10610671, 10615104, 10615697, 10617309, 10618457, 10621549, 10622551, 10627963, 10632742, 10633833, 10637512, 10638279, 10640959, 10641050, 10643726, 10643791, 10643933, 10644085, 10649107, 10649598, 10652109, 10660231, 10661351, 10662656, 10662666.

What 2007 Nissan Quest owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
Inaccurate fuel gauge. When gauge shows 1/4 tank ran out gas.
The fuel meter don't show the fuel measurement.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan quest. While driving 30 MPH, the fuel gauge moved up and down erratically and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to all pro nissan of dearborn (24501 michigan ave, dearborn, mi 48124, 313‑749‑3200) where it was diagnosed that the fuel level sensor was faulty. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the symptoms recurred, but the vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 151,457. **tr the consumer stated he was charged for a recall that was supposed to be free of charge. There are other problems with the vehicle vibrating front end, air bag light keeps flashing, but the consumers vehicle was not included in the recall.
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.
