2011 Nissan Quest Complaint Log

My vehicle is experiencing the issue under Recall NHTSA ID 12V076000: fuel supply issue that could cause engine stalling. Specifically, due to a programming error, the fuel pump might not supply enough fuel to the engine when driving at slow speeds or idling downhill with a ¼ tank or less of fuel.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Quest. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle started jerking and became inoperable. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle had been diagnosed by an independent mechanic. The contact was informed that the failure was due to a faulty transmission. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

Van became sluggish when coming to the busy intersection. When I tried to accelerate when light changed, engine light came on and van would not go over 5mph. I was almost hit. Codes were run by a mechanic. Four internal transmission codes are present. Was told that the Quest has a transmission known for these problems. We could've been killed from the vehicle not moving with traffic.

If I push the brakes to make the car stop, then try to have it accelerate again, like at a stop sign or anything, the gas pedal feels like it’s not doing anything, and the car doesn’t start for like 5 seconds, then when it does it goes about 5 mph for like 500 feet, then it goes back to normal, and because of this we feel it’s not safe to operate. This happens every time I drive it, so I only feel safe on not very populated roads driving it.

On April 19, 2022, I was driving home after picking up my son. The traffic was bumper to bumper. And as I sat in traffic, when I moved my foot from the brake to the accelerator, the vehicle would not move. So while sitting in traffic, and the traffic began to move, I could not move. So I turned the car off, and turned it back on, and I was able to move enough to get the vehicle on to the shoulder of traffic. My father came and changed the battery, and I was able to start the car and drive home, which was 30 minutes away. Two days later, same thing happened again. After driving the vehicle for a delivery, I was on my way to get some gas. And as I turned from one street to another, the vehicle stalled on me as I was turning slow. The vehicle would not start up at all. So I had to call a towing service to tow the vehicle home. According to some people online, the problem could be in the CVT transmission overheating, or it could possibly be a software issue. The 2011 Nissan Quest were a part of a recall, but when I put my VIN number in, it doesn't show my vehicle being one, but its doing what the recall was calling for. Our safety was put at risk, because the vehicle stalled in the middle of 2 busy highways, causing a safety risk for me and my son, but also causing a risk for others behind me in traffic, not knowing that my vehicle was stalled. There were no warning signs that popped up at all. The car just quit driving. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. Right now it is just sitting in front of my house, until we figure out what to do next. I have had to pay 2 towing fees for the problem, and don't want to come out paying a whole lot for this issue. We just bought this vehicle from a private owner 2 weeks ago, and this is the first week it is doing this.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Quest. The contact stated while attempting to park the vehicle, the vehicle stalled without warning. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V076000 (Electrical System, Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The electrical system failed that connected the radio, navigation system and back up camera around four to five months after receiving bill of sale. When parked or stopped the vehicle stalls by dimming of lights and making a kind of stalling sound. The windows sometimes tend to slowly wind up or down(electrical). My safety and that of others were put at risk because of the electrical issues and so the vehicle is notable to perform at the level it should. The vehicle was inspected by a certified auto mechanic and was confirmed that it was an electrical issue. No warning was detected that i am aware of.

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND 20 MINUTES LATER EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING UPHILL. THE CONTACT CALLED NISSAN OF SALEM (2755 MISSION ST SE, SALEM, OR 97302, (503) 581-3849) AND ABC NISSAN (1300 E CAMELBACK RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85014, (602) 682-4468) AND THE DEALERS WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V076000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 159,000.

ACCELERATION FROM A FULL STOP IS UNRELIABLE. THE ISSUE IS MOST PROMINENT WHEN GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO LEVEL OFF, WHEN ACCELERATION RESUMES TO NORMAL RESPONSE. EVEN ON LEVEL ROAD SURFACES, THE ACCELERATION IS INCONSISTENT ONCE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT USED THE KEYFOB TO DEACTIVATE THE HORN HOWEVER, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINALS TO DISABLE THE HORN FUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. THE TIRE BLOWOUT CAUSED THE HOOD LATCH CABLE TO DETACH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE SHOP FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO BAYOU NISSAN (13050 I-10 SERVICE RD, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70128), AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FEE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY VAN WILL START JERKING LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE DRIVE AROUND AND IT WOULDN'T ACT UP. SINCE THEN, I'VE NOTICED IT DOES WHEN WHEN USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS.

VEHICLE ACCELERATION DROPS OFF WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS. VEHICLE ACCELERATES NORMALLY AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS OF UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATION. DEALERSHIP ADVISED ON SERVICE VISITS, THEY CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT I CAN WHILE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS HARD TAKE OFF FROM 0 TO 10 MPH. ACCELERATION NOT SMOOTH AT ALL.

BOTH TRACKS THAT THE SLIDING DOORS SLIDE ON HAVE BROKEN AND THE DOORS WILL FALL OFF IF THE DOORS ARE OPENED.

WHEN THE VAN HAS 1/4 OR LESS OF GAS AND IS ON AN SLIGHT INCLINE. THE VAN WILL NOT START ONLY WILL START AGAIN WHEN YOU PUT IN 5 GALLONS OF GAS. I HAVE DROVE THIS VAN LIKE THIS FOR ALMOST A YEAR MAKING SURE IT IS HALF TO FULL TANK OF GAS. NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS EVEN WITH THE TANK FULL GOING UP INCLINES WANTING TO STALL EVEN WITH THE GAS PETAL PUSHED ITS NOT SENDING THE SIGNAL TO THE FUEL.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WITH MY DAUGHTER AND MY TWO GRANDKIDS. WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED TO STOP AND THEN GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOPLIGHT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. EVERYTHING COMPLETELY WENT OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT START, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO WENT DOWN THERE WAS NO POWER ANYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT INTO THE NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. WHILE AT THE NISSAN DEALER THE REPAIRMAN THERE WERE THREE INFORMED ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A CVT MALFUNCTIONING ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. DURING THE TIME THAT I WAS AT NISSAN HAVING MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSE, THERE WERE TWO OTHER SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE THERE FOR THE SAME REASON. AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND NISSAN WAS AWARE OF IT. WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED THEY HAD SEVERAL CVT ISSUES. AT ONE POINT THEY PUT OUT A NOTICE TO ALL OF THOSE AFFECTED FOR THE RECON. ONCE THEY REALIZE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THEY INTERN REMOVED THE NOTICE FROM THE ONLINE. AND DECIDED TO HANDLE IT ON A CASE BY CASE, WHICH NOW THEY ARE NOT REPAIRING BECAUSE THEY'RE MAKING IT A DECISION OF THEIR OWN AND NOT AS A RECALL. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE MALFUNCTIONING CVT THAT THEY PLACED IN THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND CAME ACROSS MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THAT PEOPLE HAVE POSTED ONLINE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY PART THAT THEY PLACED IN THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE HAD MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT DID WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT SOMETHING MAJORLY COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO BOTH MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER AND MY GRANDKIDS WE MAY NOT STILL BE ALIVE TODAY.

THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING (9/25/19) AND THERE IS A SUDDEN THUMP ON THE ENGINE AS IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD STALL AGAIN AFTER A FEW YARDS. SO I DECIDED TO PULLOVER SAFELY AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION BUT WITH EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH OR BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING. THIS IS THE 2ND NISSAN QUEST I OWNED AND IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE 1ST ONE HAD ISSUES AT 50,000+ MILES. THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

MY 2011 NISSAN QUEST, WHILE DRIVING MY VAN THE GAS PEDDLE DOESN'T SEEM TO RESPOND AT TIMES. I WAS ALMOST HIT ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING ST 65 ON A 70 MPH, STEPPING ON THE GAS THE PEDDLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THE SPEED STARTED TO DECLINE. WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN STEPPING ON THE GAS THE VAN WOULDN'T RESPOND.

WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE OUR BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASING OUR VEHICLE. IN 2018 ALONE WE PURCHASED 3 BATTERIES THEN THE FINAL STRAW IS THAT THERE IS AN "H" SLIT IN THE DASH YET THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. WHICH DURING OUR FINANCING TIME PERIOD WAS NEVER A CONCERNED TO THE DEALER. NOW THAT THE CAR IS PAID OFF, THESE 2 SPECIFIC HABITUAL PROBLEMS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED THE PRICE OF OUR VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMS OUR VAN MAY BE PART OF THE SOFTWARE RECALL BUT I AM ALSO THINKING THAT THE CRANKSHAFT MAY BE A HUGE FACTOR ALSO.

THE PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS FAILED. THE SEAT BELT WARNING IS ALWAYS ILLUMINATED WHEN NO PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT AND THE AIRBAG DISABLE LIGHT NEVER TURNS OFF EVEN WITH A FULL-SIZE ADULT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN NISSANS, INCLUDING A RECALL ON 2013-2016 MODEL YEARS OF OTHER MODELS BUT NEVER THE QUEST.

WHEN AT A STOP, OR A VERY SLOW SPEED (LESS THAN 2 OR 3 MPH), AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY. THERE IS A 2 OR 3 SECOND DELAY THEN THE CAR JERKS FORWARD AND ACCELERATES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE, BUT ISSUE NOT RESOLVED. WHEN DROPPING VEHICLE OFF TO DEALER, THE DEALER SHUTTLE VAN, WHICH IS ALSO A NISSAN QUEST, WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUE, WHICH I FELT AND THE DRIVER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED.

RECALL WHEN YOU ARE STEPPING ON THE GAS TRYING TO TAKE OFF WITH THE VEHICLE IT WILL LOOSE POWER AND YOU NEED TO LET OFF THE GAS AND TRY AGAIN. WHEN TRYING TO GO AGAIN IT WILL HITCH THEN YOUR NEED TO GIVE IT MORE GAS. DOES IT EVERY TIME YOU STOP.

I JUST PAID MY VAN OFF WHEN I STARTED HAVING ENGINE ISSUES.AT 120,000 CODES READ P1701 TCM WIRING , P0746 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID , P1778 STEP MOTOR , P0868 PRESSURE CONTROL MODULE .IS IT THE TRANSMISSION THE MECHANIC DOESNT WANT TO TOUCH IT JUST WANTS TO CHANGE THE TRANNY . I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS. I AM SINGLE MOM IS THERE NOT SOMEONE THAT CAN REBUILD THEM PROPERLY ???? I BOUGHT A NISSAN BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST LONGER. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VAN IN 6 MONTHS ITS A TOTAL LOSS IF I SPEND THE MONEY AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN I AM PUTTING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD. IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING AS A DOWN PAYMENT IF I HAVE TO TOW IT IN. HAS ANYONE GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS??? HOW I FOUND OUT IS THAT I TURNED ONTO A BUSY STREET PUSHED THE GAS IT WOULDNT GO. THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO DRIVE UPON THE CURVE ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVOIDED. THIS SUCKS

MY 2011 NISSAN QUEST IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ON TWO SEPARATE TRIPS THIS SUMMER MY QUEST HAS SEEMINGLY BEEN INCAPABLE OF DOWN SHIFTING TO GAIN POWER DURING PASSING OR CLIMBS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS DURING SEVERAL HOURS OF EXTENDED DRIVING TIME BUT DURING NORMAL AROUND TOWN DRIVING IT OPERATES WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAVE NOW HAD MY QUEST SERVICED AT TWO SEPARATE DEALERS, ONE IN FLORIDA AND THE OTHER IN OHIO, BOTH FOUND NOTHING AT ALL WRONG. INCIDENT ONE OCCURRED IN LATE JUNE 2016 WHILE IN THE APPALACHIAN'S DURING BOTH THE DESTINATION AND RETURN TRIP (RETURN TRIP AFTER A DEALER TRANSMISSION SERVICE). THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN 50-60 MPH WHILE CLIMBING EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL COMPLETELY PRESSED. NO ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE SIX PASSENGERS WITH LUGGAGE AND 95+ OUTDOOR TEMPS. INCIDENT TWO OCCURRED IN LATE JULY 2016 WHILE TRAVELING IN FAIRLY FLAT MICHIGAN AND OHIO. IN THIS CASE I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN 80MPH BUT UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO PASS. BUT ONE VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT AND IN FACT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR-ENDED WAS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND CHANGE LANES BUT HAD ZERO POWER PRESSING THE PEDDLE COMPLETELY DOWN. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE FIVE PASSENGERS WITH LUGGAGE AND LOW 70S OUTDOOR TEMP. I CURRENTLY HAVE A NISSAN CORPORATE ENGINEER SCHEDULED TO EVALUATE MY VEHICLE.

AFTER A SHORT 3 YEARS THE DASH ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE SRS AIRBAG LOCATION ON THE DASH SPLIT. I ESCALATED THE ISSUE TO NISSAN 3RD LEVEL ESCALATION AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DASH BUT WOULD GIVE ME 1000.00 TO SPLIT THE COST. ON JAN 25 2016 MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A NO FAULT ACCIDENT SMASHING HEAD ON INTO A SNOW BANK AND THEN ROLLING ONTO THE ROOF THEN CRUNCHING ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. MY FOREHEAD WAS SMASHED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL OF 10 AIRBAGS NOT 1 AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED INJURY AND IF I HAD A MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS. NO SIDE IMPACT BAGS DEPLOYED OR PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THIS VIOLENT IMPACT AND THE ROLLING OF THE VEHICLE THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND BOTH FRONT SRS AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. AT MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN WAKE FOREST ALONE THERE HAS BEEN 4 INCLUDING MINE THAT HAD THIS TYPE OF DEFECTIVE DASH THAT WAS REPLACED. MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSE ACCORDING TO THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.

DASH IS CRACKED OVER CLUSTER AND VENTS

3.5 L MOTOR HAS UNUSUALLY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND PINGING WAS NOTICED YEARS AGO WHEN VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL AND NOTIFIED SERVICE ADVISERS BUT THEY PAID NO ATTENTION TO IT SAYING NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE GAUGE TO ALERT DRIVER OF LOW OIL PRESSURE. CHECK ENGINE ICON COMES ON BUT DOESN'T ALERT DRIVER AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. VEHICLE IN QUESTION WAS TAKEN IN FOR OIL CHANGE MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL BUT THERE WERE NO WARNINGS DETECTED AND THERE ARE NO KNOWN OIL LEAKS. CHECKED OIL LEVEL WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE ICON CAME ON AGAIN AND TOPPED OFF OIL LEVEL TO SAFE AMOUNT AND THE NEXT DAY IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN WITH NO WARNING SIGNS OF A VERY UNSAFE OIL LEVEL(OIL WAS NOT PRESENT ON THE DIPSTICK). MILEAGE FOR VEHICLE IS AROUND 70K+. ONCE AGAIN PINGING WAS NOTICED AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THAT THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY PINGING AND NO KNOWN OIL LEAKS WERE FOUND WITH NO VISUAL EVIDENCE DETECTED.

THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INSTANCES WHERE OUR VAN HAS STALLED SITTING ON AN INCLINE WITH A QUARTER OR SO OF GAS LEFT. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE 2011 QUEST BUT MINE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE SAME MANUFACTURE DATE RANGE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE QUEST OVER SEVERAL YEARS NOT JUST 2011. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM RESEARCH AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE. THEY SUGGESTED PURCHASING A FUEL SENDING UNIT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IF IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE THEN WHY WOULD THE CAR STALL ON A HILL WITH PLENTY OF GAS LEFT? I AM WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING DOWN A HILL AT SPEED AND MY CAR STALLS.

OUR 2011 NISSAN QUEST IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED, SUCH AS ON THE FREEWAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR AWHILE, THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO MAKE A RINGING TYPE SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING. IT ALSO STRUGGLES TO DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, TAKING SEVERAL SECONDS TO ENGAGE IN THE DOWNSHIFT FOR MORE POWER AND THEN JERKING ROUGHLY. IT HAS LEFT US VULNERABLE TO A SITUATION IN WHICH WE COULD CRASH BY NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER VEHICLE QUICKLY. ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC AT OUR SERVICE STATION, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN'S GEARLESS TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE MODELS.

OUR NISSAN QUEST HAS BEEN STALLING OUT WITH LESS THAN BETWEEN 1/2 AND 1/4 TANK OF GAS ON A DOWNHILL. IT IS MOSTLY HAPPENING WHILE STOPPED AT STOPLIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS, BUT CAN SPUTTER, SHAKE AND ACT LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING PROPER FUEL SUPPLY ON DOWNSLOPES EVEN WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES ON BUSY STREETS, LEAVING ME VULNERABLE TO REAR END COLLISIONS. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH US MOST DAYS AND WE CANNOT HAVE OUR CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A 6 LANE ROAD. AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WE LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ON LINE AND SAW THAT INDEED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER, OUR VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT NOW, YET IT IS STILL A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

THIRD ROW SEAT BELT LAP BELT BUCKLE THAT USES A KEY.TO RELEASE. PLASTIC BUCKLE BODY FAILED WHEN SEAT FOLDED UP AND DOWN. *TR

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV VERY HIGH. I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT MOVING AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED THE REVVING, WHILE STILL HIGHER THAN NORMAL, WAS LESS. I WAS ABLE TO GO TO A PARKING LOT AND TURN OFF THE CAR TO HAVE IT TOWED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HIS VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD TO WAIT AT LEAST TWENTY MINUTES BEFORE HIS VEHICLE WOULD START. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,800 MILES.

I WAS AT MY SISTER HOUSE HAD DROVE FORWARD TO BACK UP, BEFORE I COULD PUT IT IN REVERSE THE MINIVAN JUST LUNGED FORWARD INTO HER DECK. THE DECK WAS DEMOLISH. I TURN THE WHEEL TO KEEP FROM GOING THROUGH HER HOUSE. IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL I APPLIED MY BRAKES IT DID NOT STOP I TURNED THE WHEEL IT WAS HEADED CROSS HER YARD TOWARD DITCH INTO SOME TREES .I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF IT STOPPED. IT TORE UP THE FRONT END DRIVER SIDE. THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING.I CONTACT NISSAN THEY SAID WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I DO NOT KNOW RESULTS YET.I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT EVEN IF IT GET FIX.THAT WAS A SCARY MOMENT . MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME. SHE WAS JUST LOOK IN A PANIC. I WAS SAYING I CAN NOT STOP IT. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE CAR STALLED WHEN ABOUT A QUARTER LEFT IN FUEL. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON INCLINES. IT SEEMS VERY UNSAFE FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE FUEL COMPUTER WAS FIXED AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON A DECLINE WITH TANK OF FUEL OR LESS, THERE WAS AN INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF FUEL GOING TO THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED IN ORDER TO RESET THE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DECIDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND REPROGRAMMED THE FUEL TANK CONTROL MODULE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V076000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE ). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO SENT OUT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,898 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,500.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILL THE CAR WILL STALL IF THE GAS TANK READS LESS THAN 90 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TOWN. TODAY THIS HAPPENED WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THE VAN STALLED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHICH CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN IS "WORKING" ON FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR US. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED OFF ROAD AND AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HER WITH THE FAILURE AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD ALSO OCCUR WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ONE QUARTER FULL AND THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A SLOPE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ENGINE STALLS AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESTART UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS ROLLED TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THE DISPLAY READS THERE IS 50+ MILES OF GAS LEFT. IT HAS DONE THIS ONCE WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN A LOCAL STREET, ENGINE TURNED OFF. HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT IN TANK. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS DUE TO GOING DOWN HILL. WHEN ENGINE TURNED OFF I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL UNTIL I PULLED OVER AT A FLAT PART OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MINIVAN BACK ON ONCE I STOPPED AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS. INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 2/20/2012. AGAIN, THERE WAS ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. WENT OVER A MAJOR BRIDGE AND ON THE WAY DOWN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN TO A FLAT SURFACE. CAR DIDN'T TURN ON IN MY FIRST ATTEMPT BUT DID TURN ON SECOND ATTEMPT ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE NOSE DOWN WITH 1/2 TANK OF GAS IN THE TANK. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. BRAKE SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AND CAR STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD DOWN THE HILL. NEEDED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

THIS CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME 5 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH! I HAVE HAD TO HAVE GAS DELIVERED TO ME ALL OF THESE TIME TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. ON MOST OF THESE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD OVER 1/4 TAKE AND HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS ON INDICATION FUEL LEVEL WAS LOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT. WE TOOK THE VAN IN FOR SERVICE AND WERE FIST TOLD THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT THEN ANOTHER WORKER TOLD US THEY JUST HAD SOMEONE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE TANK YET THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. MY DEALERSHIP IS MOSSY NISSAN OF OCEANSIDE CA, AND THEY HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE. WE ARE DRIVING ACROSS THE US ON MILITARY ORDERS IN THIS VAN WITH OUR 2 SMALL CHILDREN, AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT WE WILL BE FORCED TO DRIVE IN A DEATHTRAP. NISSAN NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THESE ARE FAMILY VANS, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THERE TO BE A MASS RECALL? THE DEATH OF A FAMILY? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW?? *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS VAN WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES. I HAD JUST DROPPED MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC. I HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS. I WAS LEAVING THE SCHOOL AND ON A SLIGHT DECLINE WHEN MY CAR STALLED. I HAD SEVERAL CARS AND LARGE BUSES BEHIND ME. I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I WAS TERRIFIED. WHEN THE CAR STALLED MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND I WAS LUCKY I PUT THE PARKING BREAK ON WHEN I DID OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I USED THE PARKING BREAK AND ROLLED THE VAN OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE BUSHES LEAVING JUST ENOUGH ROOM FOR CARS TO GET PAST ME. I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERED AS EMPTY. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE VAN WOULD START AGAIN. WHEN IT DID I IMMEDIATELY FILLED UP WITH GAS. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. IN THE MEANTIME I WAS DROPPING MY OTHER DAUGHTER AT AN ACTIVITY. I WAS ON A DECLINE AGAIN THE CAR STALLED. I HAD TO ROLL DOWN TO LEVEL GROUND AND SIT AND WAIT UNTIL MY CAR WOULD START AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD ABOUT 1/4 OF A TANK. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND NOT TO LET THE TANK GO BELOW 1/2. YESTERDAY AT 12,000 MILES THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I HAD JUST UNDER A HALF A TANK AND IDLED ON A DECLINE, MY CAR STALLED AGAIN. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT IT IS THE CLUSTER GAUGE. THEY DECIDED THIS WHEN THEY FILLED UP THE CAR FOR ME (AFTER IT STALLED) AND HAD TO PUT 14.7 GALLONS IN IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WAS A 16 GALLON TANK SO THAT IS PROOF TO HIM IT'S THE GAUGE. I HAVE READ THE 2011 QUEST HAS A 20 GALLON TANK SO I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH 6 GALLONS IN THE TANK. I WAS TOLD NISSAN WOULDN'T ISSUE A RECALL UNTIL IT BECOMES A SAFETY CONCERN. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. WHEN IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NISSAN? WHEN A LIFE IS LOST? *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, APPLYING BRAKES, SO CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 2MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING AND RUMBLING. I WAS ON A SMALL DOWN HILL INCLINE. THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF AND THE CAR DID NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES ANY LONGER. THE CAR CONTINUED ROLLING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT/ INTERSECTION WHEN I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. PUT CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED RESTARTING 4 TIMES, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO START THE CAR. AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START. FUEL INDICATOR TOLD ME I HAD 33 MILES TO EMPTY. I DROVE ANOTHER 10 MILES AND FILLED THE GAS. *TR

WHEN FUEL GAUGE READS 1/4 TANK OR LESS VAN WILL SHUT DOWN IF ON A DECLINE (WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED). I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO A MECHANICAL ERROR IN THE FLOAT IN THE GAS TANK NOT READING PROPERLY. I MUST MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE AT LEAST 1/2 TANK OF GAS AT ALL TIMES. *TR

AS MY WIFE DROVE OUR BRAND NEW QUEST DOWN A SLOPE TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, THE QUEST DIED. SHE STOPPED THE CAR AND TRIED TO RESTART IT TO NO AVAIL. WHEN I ARRIVED I HAD HER ATTEMPT TO START AS I LISTENED TO THE ENGINE, IT WAS TURNING AND THE CAR HAD POWER BUT IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT HAD NO FUEL. THE GAUGE SHOWED A LITTLE OVER 1/4 TANK. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED HE TOOK US TO A GAS STATON FIRST, AFTER FUELING THE CAR STARTED. WHEN I SUBMITTED IT TO THE QUEST DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE CHIEF SAID THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME HE'S SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN THE PAST MONTH! THE FACT THAT NISSAN HAS CLEAR EVIDENCE OF A PROBLEM THAT CAN PROVE VERY, VERY, DANGEROUS YET HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL IS VERY DISTURBING. PLEASE ADDRESS, THANK YOU.

MULTIPLE TIMES MY 2011 QUEST HAS STALLED OUT WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. AT FIRST IT WAS IF I HAD ROUGHLY A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED WHEN I HAD JUST SHORT OF A HALF TANK OF GAS. IT HAPPENS IF I'M SITTING STILL ON A HILL OR CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THEN HIT THE START BUTTON, AND LUCKILY IT HAS RESTARTED EVERY TIME. WITH 2 CHILDREN UNDER 3, THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME. PLEASE FORCE NISSAN INTO FIXING THIS BEFORE A TRAGEDY HAPPENS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN NOVEMBER OF 2011. ON JANUARY 7TH 2012 AS I WAS DRIVING GOING DOWN HILL ON HWY 70 IN BLUE SPRINGS GOING ON A ON RAMP WHICH IS DOWN HILL GOING APPROXAMATELY 45-50 MPH AND MY ENGINE OUT OF NO WHERE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM IN THE MARINE CORPS STATIONED IN ARIZONA AND I HAD TO GO BACK TO MY DUTY STATION THERE. THIS OCCURANCE HAS HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES WITH MY WIFE, ON ONE INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT (WHICH COULD OF KILLED SOMEONE) AND MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WHERE SHE WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND RANDOMLY THE ENGINE CUTOFF ON HER ON HIGHWAY 70 GOING ABOUT 70MPH AND IT WASNT EVEN ON A HILL IT WAS ON FLAT PAVEMENT BY THE GRACE OF GOD SHE MADE IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY AND ONCE STOPPED SHE COULDNT RESTART FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES I ASKED HER IF SHE WAS OUT OF FUEL SHE SAID NO IT HAD ABOUT HALF A TANK. MY WIFE IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR TERRIFIED AND SHE HAS TO DRIVE IT TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL AND I AM NOT EVEN ABLE TO BE THERE TO HELP ADDRESS THE SITUATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I AM CONTACTING NISSAN CORPORATE AND ADDRESSING IT. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND IM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT SEEMS TO BE A DEATH TRAP. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME AND MY FAMILY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MODERATE INCLINE ON LOW FUEL WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE CURB AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE 3 OTHER CARS IN LINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS THEN TOLD NOT TO LET THE FUEL TANK GET BELOW 1/2 TANK. *TR
