It all started with the check engine light. I had the code read and it said the problem was the sending unit so I find out you can't just replace that you need to replace the fuel pump assembly. Alright so I have a new fuel pump put in at around $700.00 dollars I had the tech reset my codes so the check engine light is off. When I go to put gas in it the check engine light comes back on same code. So basically I just spent 700.00 dollars for nothing I take it back to the mechanic and he say I don't know it could be anything. After looking into it I'm finding out a lot of people are having the same problem. I have kids and this is my daily driver I don't use my fuel gauge right now I just make sure I always have gas. I don't think it's very safe knowing there are many nissan vans out there with this same problem. My question is when is nissan going to take responsibly for this mechanical problem. Recall my 2007 nissan quest and fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed!
2007 Nissan Quest fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 110, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel gauge system failure. Both the fuel gauge on the dash and electronic fuel gauge indicate no fuel. This problem is intermittent and causes the safety indicator light to go on. I had this checked at advanced auto. The fuel level gauge is broken. I was told that I would have to replace the whole fuel pump because the part is not sold separately. $350 just for the fuel pump. I was told that not fixing the fuel level gauge would lead to worse problems with the fuel pump. I have been dealing with this issue for a couple months now. I have failed safety inspection because the safety light is on.
On august 20, 2014 while driving back from va to md on i495, our 2007 nissan quest began to stalled and then the engine shuts off completely while we were in the middle of this highway. Luckily, there weren't much traffic and we were able to pulled over to the emergency lane with the vehicle's momentum. We also notice the steering wheel began to stiffen up where it was becoming difficult to steer. At which time, we also notice that the fuel gauge had about 1/4 of a tank of fuel left and the display on the dashboard had indicated 72 miles left before empty. Upon coming to a complete stop on the emergency lane, we tried to restart the car several times, but it wouldn't start. After a couple of tries, the fuel gauge suddenly dropped to e (empty) and the dashboard monitor displayed all stars (*****) which indicates empty fuel. After waiting for 1 hour, my friend came with his car and we went to a gas station and bought a container with 2 gallon of gas which we put it into the our quest. At which time the car started normal and we were on our way. This was a very frightening and dangerous experience for us. Since the incident, the fuel gauge has been acting up and giving us false readings. Just last week when we filled up our car, the fuel gauge was displaying empty.
Gas gauge read that I had 1/4 of tank of gas. I did not have any. I had to call aaa for assistance. Since then, my gas gauge has not been accurate. I will need to have it serviced.
I have run out of gas twice in the last 8 months. Fuel gauge reads 3/8 tank left and the computer said I had 72 miles left until empty. No low fuel light indicator. Took it into a nissan dealer for them to read the service engine light, they said needed a new fuel sensor which in turn you needed a new fuel pump which runs into lots of money. Bought the fuel pump and was going to have it changed. The reading from the new fuel pump was the same reading as the old fuel pump " no change." I feel that nissan doesn't understand the problems with their vehicles . They make you spend money that is unnecessary.
While driving, the car suddenly loses power and comes to a stop. After several attempts to restart the engine I decided to check the mte and gas gauge which both indicate there is plenty of gas to continue. I had the battery,alternator and starter checked and they were fine. So I decided to add more gas then shazam it started. Please inform if there's a recall or how to remedy the issue. Thanks.
While traveling on a I - 94 west freeway the van lost power and stopped. The gas gauge showed the tank was quarter full, however there was no gas in the tank. The incident happened on a busy freeway, and there were children in the car. This is the 3rd time this has happened on the same vehicle. I had to call aaa to bring some gas. Based on what I've read online - this is not an isolated occurrence. Nissan has recalled cars with similar problems but not the quest model. This is a very dangerous issue and could have resulted in deaths of my family.
First time, I was driving on busy traffic and looked at the gas gauge and it displayed another 40-50 miles to gas/fuel empty, but my quest died as it ran out of gas; I had no warning or light came on. Second time, I was on the freeway driving at 60 MPH and looked at the gas gauge and it displayed another 50-60 miles to gas/fuel empty; I felt my quest was going to stop, so I was lucky to get out of freeway and my quest died right after (out of gas). For both occasion, I had children on the van and extremely concerned that this issue just happen all of the sudden. For safety concerns, I took my quest to auto mechanic and they confirmed that the fuel/gauge was not working and got it repaired.
Hi we were on way from niagara to harrisburg in our nissan quest 2007. There was no maintenance issue in my vehicle. I had a fuel filled at corning and on the way towards harrisburg on us-15 near to lawerenceville, my vehicle was on 65mph and suddenly the engine stopped and I pulled over to the shoulder. Luckily it got completely pulled over to the shoulder. The mechanic near toiga told me that the timing chain has snapped and has caused the engine damage and it is a known problem with the nissan vehicle. Need your help to register the complaint.
Was traveling at 65 MPH on a three lane highway when vehicle began to buck and decrease in speed. Fuel gauge indicated 1/4 tank (60 miles to empty). Needed to steer into shoulder lane of highway to assess the situation. Determined the fuel gauge was in accurate, resulting in empty tank.
My 2007 nissan quest stalled in the middle of traffic because the gas tank was empty, even though the gauge indicated that there was over 1/8 of a tank or over 2 1/2 gallons equal to 50 to 70 miles to empty.
Fuel ran out and locked steering and stalled vehicle in middle of 4 lane highway while fuel gauge showed half full tank. Nissan dealer found no fault in fuel gauge in may 28 2013, but 3 further similar incidents took place until we stopped depending on fuel gauge and refill every 100 miles.
Beginning in february 2014 my quest, owned for less than 6 months at that date, ran out of fuel when gauge still read 1/8 of a tank remained. Low fuel light did not come on, car simply stalled out and left me stranded on the side of a busy road. This had since happened four more times in the following five months. One incident left me stranded on a freeway offramp for nearly an hour with several close calls. I find it unacceptable that a vehicle I purchased from a dealer, less than a year ago, is this unreliable and untrustworthy! I don't feel safe having my family in this vehicle!
Our 2007 nissan quest fuel gauge will show empty and the service engine soon light comes even though the tank is full. The entire fuel pump assembly was replaced at a cost of $814.62. Within a week the same problem occurred and ses light came back on. The fuel pump assembly was replaced again under a parts warranty from the work the previous week. After the second fuel pump assembly work was completed the ses light came on before I left the dealership's lot. Concern is safety related to running out of gas while on the road since the gauge mechanism isn't working.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan quest. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the engine immediately stalled. The contact stated that the fuel gauge reading indicated adequate fuel level when the fuel tank was actually empty. The vehicle restarted after the contact filled the fuel tank. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they informed the contact that the failure was under investigation. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
We were traveling on the highway when our trip odometer said that we still had 60miles to e and then suddenly stalled. We were able to pull over but had no clue what happened since it said we still have gas. We called our roadside assistance who brought us gas along just in case and after putting the gas in, the car started back up. Just this morning however 7/15/2014 my gas gauge was suddenly almost at e when the night before I was just under a half a tank.
Car stalled out on the highway, with the gas gauge showing slightly less than 1/4 tank remaining in the tank. Was able to coast to a stop within walking distance to gas station. Tank took a full 20 gallons (max capacity), after which the car ran fine. This occurred less than two weeks after having my fuel pump and injectors replaced. Nissan claims there is no connection between these incidents. Now I'm wondering if my original incident actual was a fuel pump, of if I simply ran out of fuel.
My 2007 nissan quest fuel gauge indicator displays inaccurate fuel information and stalled and began to hesitate because the fuel tank was empty. I took my vehicle to the nissan dealer,where it was diagnosed that the fuel gauge sending unit with fuel pump needed to be replaced. I contacted nissan consumer report of the failure, and the vehicle was not repaired.the approximate failure and current mileage is 93,000.
My wife was driving the car with kids in back, at traffic signal she stopped at left lane turn left. When left green signal was given, she released brakes and couldn't move as intended. She described to me that engine was running and as if all brakes were engaged. She made slowly left turn dragging car and stopped at right side of the road and called me asking that she is unable to move the car and engine is still running. She also informed that car is at safe area of road and could able to get out and walk to kids activity school. Upon arrival at the location, couldn't start and called for aaa help. Aaa tested battery and it was okay; fuel gauge was showing slightly below tank mark. Asked aaa to tow the car to my home as it was getting late in evening. While looking for details on internet for possible causes I noticed possibilities of wrong fuel indication. So added a gallon fuel and car started and worked normally. I am planned to switch the car with my wife to test this car next few week for safe operation.
My wife and kids were driving about 25 to 35 miles of speed all of sudden vehicle was stalled. After towing vehicle to home found that fuel guage doesn't showing the correct fuel level. By god grace nothing happened to my family otherwise it would have been accident that too narrow bridge.
The 2007 nissan quest fuel gauge will suddenly report empty and the service engine soon light comes on when the tank is known to be full. The fuel pump was replaced at a cost of $750.00. Within a week the same problem occurred. The fuel pump is being replaced again under a parts warranty.
Minutes after filling my nissan quest's fuel tank, I drove onto the freeway I then observed my gas gauge drop to empty and the " low fuel " light come on as well as the check engine light. When I reached my destination and turned the vehicle off and back on again to show my brother the problem everything was normal again. A few days later I was driving home on the freeway and ran out of gas having to call the state police.there was no indication that I was low on fuel. I visited a mechanic and he told me the complexity of the fuel system and the different sensors and advised me to report this problem. On may 20th I again filled up the tank and the fuel indicator light came on as well as the check engine.

The vehicle's fuel gauge in the instrument cluster has become faulty and unreliable. On numerous occasions since july of 2013 the van has lost power and has come to a stop. On two occasions this has happened at a high rate of speed in fairly congested traffic with small children in the vehicle. The gas gauge in the instrument cluster reads that there is a quarter (1/4) tank of gas when in fact the vehicle has run out of gas which, at a high rate of speed, creates a very dangerous situation. According to online posts of other '07 nissan quest van owners, nissan service centers appear to be unsure as to what is causing the problem let alone how to address the problem. This appears to be consistent with the experience I had at the local nissan service center that diagnosed our vehicle last july which is the same dealership we purchased the van new in 2007. Upon diagnostics, the service center indicated that it may be the fuel level sending unit in the fuel pump assembly or a faulty fuel gauge in the instrument cluster, both or something in between the two parts. Upon contacting nissan consumer affairs last july to discuss the problem with them and asking them to address the problem as part of their recall for this very same issue on the quest as well as other models of their vehicles, they declined claiming that the v.I.n. For our particular vehicle had not been recalled. If they have recalled other '07 quests or other vehicles in their lineup over this issue then nissan should stand behind any vehicle that is experiencing similar problems. The issue needs to be resolved before someone gets seriously injured or even killed.
My fuel gauge read that I had approximately 45 miles left in my tank. I had a short trip to the doctor's office with my child. I planned on stopping for gas after the appointment. I made it about a half a mile and the van stalled. Being that the gauge read that I had gas, I thought there was no way the van ran out of gas. After this incident, my gauge never read the fuel levels correctly again. When the gauge said it was at a quarter tank, it really meant it was on empty. I learned that during the second incident of running out of gas. My gauge now is empty at a half tank. It also randomly puts itself at empty after I know I put a full tank in. So, now I use my mileage to calculate how much gas is truly in the tank.
The vehicle's fuel tank indicator has suddenly become faulty. The needle for fuel capacity showed about 1/4 gas tank full, yet my van stopped in the middle of the street. There was no gas in the vehicle, yet the indicator showed 1/4th available. It was a big inconvenience, I had get emergency help for fuel, etc. I was lucky it happened when I was in the right lane of a slow moving road that had a shoulder on the right. I was also fortunate to carry my cell phone with me at the time of that journey ! I took it to the repair shop, they replaced the fuel tank, etc. The problem occured again even after the fix. The technicians pointed out to a report on the federal safety agency site that points to a open ticket for this model and issue.

This has happened to me on two occasions now. Driving along in peak traffic and suddenly vehicle shuts off. No power steering and almost involved in accidents both occasions the first time I was alone the second time I had my grand babies with me and that was terrifying for them as the other road users where whizzing past and they were stopped. Both times I looked at the digital reading on the display and it displayed the miles as 80 miles to empty and 60 miles to empty and the manual gauge still showed just under 1/4 tank left. The low fuel light never came on either time. This needs to be sorted out before some one gets killed especially as this is used to transport children....updated 04-10-14
Was exiting a highway and slowing to a stop. Traffic began to move so I pressed the gas pedal. The car hesitated then stalled. I was in center lane and had to cross another lane of traffic to get to the shoulder with no power steering and trying not to hit brakes so I didn't unintentionally block traffic. My gas gauge showed just over a quarter tank and the mileage showed 77 miles to empty. I was able to get 2 gallons of gas and it started right up. Went to fill it up at the nearest gas station and it took 19 gallons to fill. This is a 20.1 gallon tank. This was the third such occurrence with the exact same scenario. I had it addressed previously at the dealership, but was told that there was no fault found. After this latest incident, I was told the fuel sending unit/fuel pump had to be replaced at a cost of appx $750 dollars! Not happy!!!...updated 04-10-14 *bf there were no dash lights to indicate a problem. No check engine light. No low level fuel light. The first two times, I took it to nissan to be looked at, there were no fault codes. It was not until the third time, that they finally were able to see a fault code. Shortly thereafter, I did get a check engine light after filling my gas tank. I took it back to nissan for troubleshooting and they got the same fault code for the fuel sending unit. Just about every time, I fill the tank, the check engine light comes on for the same reason. Updated 06/03/14
