Inaccurate fuel gauge - my wife's nissan quest 2008 came to a complete stall in the middle of the road, while the fuel gauge was showing 70 miles left to empty. The regular dashboard gauge, also showed some level of gas. In reality, the tank had no gas at all. We confirmed that when, after some people's help, we were able to manually put some gas to arrive to the nearest gas station. My wife was in the car with the kids and it was a scary moment, to say the least. This was the second time it happened (unnoticed the reason the first time). Contacted nissan consumer affairs and brought the car to a nissan dealer for diagnostics. They validated that the car run out of gas with 66 miles left to empty on the display. Nissan consumer affairs doesn't consider this a defect nor decided to include the car under the recalls they had for this issue. They suggested that I upfront the cost of fixing this defect. This is a dangerous situation, as you cannot rely on the instruments to read levels of gas and the car can stall at higher speeds, causing significant injuries.

This is for a 2008 nissan quest, but the complain is very similar to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v003000. I was driving on the freeway going home, and as soon as I enter the garage and get off the vehicle, there is a very strong smell of gas. I knee down and saw that there is a stream of liquid coming out from the bottom of the vehicle, immediately, I put the vehicle out of the garage and park in the street instead, call nissan roadside assistance immediately and they help to call 911 to have fire department come out and put a temp fix to stop the leak. The vehicle was then tow to closest nissan dealership immediately. Based on what I read from the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v003000, due to the location of the forward edge of the fuel tank, in the event that a vehicle front tire runs over a small, sharp object in the road, catches it and propels it towards the rear of the vehicle, it may strike and puncture the fuel tank, and I think this is what happen. The fuel tank is made of plastic and is expose outside without any shield protection from the front which is similar to the nissan murano, I don't understand why nissan recall to put a shield for murano and not the quest. For now, nissan has not agreed yet to cover the damage.
