2007 Nissan Quest complaints

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. *TR

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.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN ACCELERATING. ALMOST CAUSED CRASH DUE TO HAVING TO STOP AND LET TRAFFIC CONTINUE BECAUSE STUCK IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. FLUID LEVEL AND COLOR CHECK AND FINE. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

ISSUE WITH TIMING CHAIN NOISE WHEN CAR STARTS. FAULTY TIMING CHAIN IDLER AND TENSIONER CAUSES TIMING CHAIN TO BE SLOPPY. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

OUR TIRE WENT FLAT. WE FOUND OUT A "SPECIAL" DEALER HAD TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE TIRE & THERE WAS NO SPARE DUE TO US HAVING "RUN-FLAT" (MICHELIN PAX) TIRES. WE GOT A LIST OF THE ONLY 3 DEALERS AROUND OUR AREA THAT ARE CERTIFIED FOR THESE TIRES BUT WHEN WE CALLED THEM THEY TELL US THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED. NO BIG DEAL EXCEPT WE FIND OUT THIS RU-FLAT TIRE IS THE ONLY TIRE THAT CAN FIT ON THIS RIM!! & THIS RIM IS THE ONLY RIM THAT CAN FIT ON THIS VAN!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! SO I HAVE A FLAT TIRE & NOW MY VAN IS IMMOBILE & IRREPARABLE! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST (DURING RUSH HOUR) MY VAN SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND JUST GLIDED UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. KEEP IN MIND MY GAUGE WAS SHOWING THAT I HAD A HALF A TANK? LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF NOT IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY KIDS. THEY REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS , MECHANICS CANT FIGURE IT OUT? *TR

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. *JS

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. DR

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. *TR

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

YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 7 YR OLD DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. WHILE TRAVELING ON A 8 LANE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 65MPH THE VAN STARTED HESITATING AND SLOWING DOWN AND THEN SHE LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. WE PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. THIS MORNING WE SPOKE WITH OUR MECHANIC AND HE TOLD US THE VAN HAD RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH OUR GAS GAUGE SHOWED WE HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND OUR "MILES TO EMPTY" SHOWED APPROX 60 MILE LEFT UNTIL EMPTY. *TR

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. *TR

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 NHTSA SITE THAT POINTS TO A OPEN TICKET FOR THIS MODEL AND ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DISPLAYED INACCURATE INFORMATION AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND BEGAN TO HESITATE BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY THE VAN LOST POWER AND STOPPED. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED THE TANK WAS HALF FULL, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, AND THERE WERE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. 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 THREE PEOPLE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY A NISSAN DEALER AS WELL AS AN INDEPENDENT CAR MECHANIC. PLEASE RECALL THE GAS GAUGE IN NISSAN QUEST BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!...UPDATED 04-10-14 *BF

ADVISED NISSAN THAT AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED CAR FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. NISSAN TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST $800 TO REPAIR. I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT AFTER MY HUSBANDS CAR ALSO A NISSAN (PATHFINDER) STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB 2014. BOTH CARS ARE 2007 AND SEEMED TO HAPPEN AROUND THE SAME VEHICLE MILEAGE. NISSAN ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THEY WERE NOT FIXED. SO NOW BOTH OF OUR NISSAN CARS HAVE THERE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHTS FLASHING. *TR

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 *BF

TRAVELING AT A STEADY 25 MPH ON HIGHWAY (CONDITIONS WERE SLOW DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER), VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED VERY HARD...FELT LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED BUT WASN'T...THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCING THE POWER, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT KEEPING UP. IT WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE, WOULDN'T MAINTAIN SPEED UPHILL AND DOWNSHIFTED HARD WHEN SLOWING. I HEADED DIRECTLY FOR DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD CODED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I HAD TAKEN IT INTO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINING OF SIGNIFICANT POWER LOSS, HARD AND/OR CONSTANT DOWNSHIFTING AND LOSS OF SPEED DESPITE ENGINE POWER. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH NEW AT A COST OF JUST OVER $4700. I HAVE PUT JUST UNDER 2000 MILES ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND AM STARTING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TRAVELING TO NEW YORK ON THE INTERSTATE, TRAVELING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 68MPH. STARTED ASCENDING A LARGE HILL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED VIOLENTLY, ENGINE RPM INCREASED TO ALMOST 5000RPM BUT SPEED STARTED DROPPING IMMEDIATELY. COULD NOT MAKE IT UP THE HIGHWAY AND MAINTAIN CURRENT SPEED. THE VALVES WERE SCREAMING! I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND THEN STARTED AGAIN SLOWLY. I COULD NOT GET ABOVE 38 MPH WITHOUT TRANSMISSION REACTING AND ENGINE RPM RACING. ONCE I GOT OVER THE HILL, THE CAR SEEMED OKAY AS LONG AS I DIDN'T ALLOW THE RPM TO INCREASE TOO DRAMATICALLY. IT WILL NOT

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

GOING ACROSS THE BETSY ROSS BRIDGE, FROM PHILADELPHIA TO CHERRY HILL, ABOUT 9PM TO GET GAS AS WELL AS DINNER. THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THEN SHOT OFF WHEN WE WERE NOT QUITE HALF WAY OVER THE BRIDGE. THERE WASN'T ALLOT OF TRAFFIC, SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE GAS GAUGE WAS AT A 1/4 TANK OF GAS. A PORT AUTHORITY POLICE OFFICE ARRIVED WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND PUSHED OUR VAN TO THE REST OF THE WAY OVER THE BRIDGE TO GET US OUT OF THE TRAFFIC AS THE SHOULDER IS VERY NARROW. GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIDGE AND COASTED TO A SIDE AREA WHERE WE COULD WAIT FOR HELP. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START TO THE CAR FAILED. HELP ARRIVED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WITH GAS CAN. PUT ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS INTO THE CAR. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. WE WENT THE REST OF THE WAY RIGHT TO A GAS STATION. THE VAN HAS A 20.1 GALLON TANK. TOOK ALMOST 19 GALLONS AT FILL UP. WHICH MEANS WE RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAS GAUGE SAID OTHERWISE. AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING FULL. I FOUND NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN #10V07400. THE PROBLEM IS AN EXACT MATCH FOR MY PROBLEM. SPECIFICALLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENDER MIS-REPORTING THE GAS LEVEL. FOUND VARIOUS NEWS REPORTS THAT LIST AND DO NOT LIST THE NISSAN QUEST AS PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A STATE ROAD AT APPROX. 50 MPH. I WAS BEGINNING TO START A CURVY HILL AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THERE WAS NO ENGINE REVVING HEARD AND THE TACHOMETER HAD DROPPED TO ZERO AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WERE ON AS IF I HAD JUST TURNED THE KEY TO THE 'ON' POSITION TO START IT. THERE WAS NO LOW FUEL LIGHT AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED 1/4 TANK. I TRIED TURNING THE ENGINE OVER, BUT IT WOULDN'T CRANK AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME COMING AROUND THE BLIND CURVE OR ELSE SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE. I PRESSED THE TRIP BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES ON THE DATA DISPLAY AND IT WAS FLASHING ASTERISK AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. I WALKED 2 MILES TO A GAS STATION AND PUT A GALLON OF GAS IN THE TANK AND THE CAR VAN CRANKED RIGHT UP WHICH INDICATED THE VAN WAS OUT OF GAS, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS FAULTY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 OTHER TIMES WITH MY WIFE DRIVING ALONE. ONCE WAS ON A U.S. HWY. IT APPEARS THERE'S A BAD FUSE OR BAD SENSOR, BUT WE'RE NOT SURE AND I'VE NOT SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS. NOW WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE DATA DISPLAY ONCE THE FUEL HITS A HALF TANK. IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING YOU THINK TO DO WHILE DRIVING. I AT LEAST WISH THE TRIP DISPLAY WOULD POP UP AS A LOW FUEL BACKUP, BUT WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING A DVD OR THE RADIO IS ON AND YOU'RE CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING YOU DON'T THINK TO PRESS THE TRIP BUTTON TO CHECK THE DTE. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR SHOW A RECALL. WE ARE

TOOK MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RATTLE, VIBRATION AND PULSING OUT OF THE FRONT END. SERVICE WRITER TELLS ME IT'S A TIMING CHAIN (NOT BELT) THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED HIM IF THAT WAS THE NOISE I HEARD (I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE) AND I WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T SURE AND THAT PROBABLY WASN'T THE NOISE I WAS HEARING. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HAVE THE VIBRATIONS WORSE, NOISE MORE PRONOUNCED AND THE THOUGHT OF A 2000.00 BILL ON THE HORIZON FOR A TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO PUSH AND CONSTANTLY PULL TO THE LEFT. ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES HAD NO EFFECT AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE VAN SEEMS UNSTABLE AT ENTRY HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NISSAN USA CLEARLY DOESN'T CARE SO I'M HOPING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND PRESSED THE GAS. IT WAS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE AND DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE RESPOND. I LOOKED AT MY GAUGES AND THE TACHOMETER WAS AT 0. I REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. I TRIED REVVING THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I MANAGED TO GUIDE MY CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO AN ENTRANCE ROAD TO A BUSINESS. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT. THE ENGINE TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT CATCH. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED A QUARTER OF A TANK AND NO LIGHT WAS ON. I CALLED MY WIFE AND SHE BROUGHT A GAS CAN. I POURED IT THE GAS. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED. I WENT TO A GAS STATION. THE CAR TOOK 19 GALLONS. THE CAPACITY WAS 20 GALLONS SO THE CAR WAS EMPTY. I HAVE BEEN MONITORING SINCE. ON A TYPICAL WEEK MY CAR IS SLIGHTLY UNDER HALF A TANK. THIS WEEK MY CAR WAS A LITTLE BIT UNDER THREE QUARTER 3/4 FULL. THE TRIP ODOMETER SHOWED I HAD GONE 174 MILES. I FILLED UP THE CAR AND IT TOOK 11.3 GALLONS. THIS INDICATE THE TANK IS ALMOST EXACTLY 1/4 OFF. I WAS VERY LUCKY WHEN THE CAR STALLED I COULD PULL OFF SAFELY. I HAVE SEEN MANY POST ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THIS YEAR CAR. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO GET THIS ADDRESSES? THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE FRONTIER AND PATHFINDER AND XTERRA ARE HAVING FOR THE SAME YEAR. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME 3.5 LITER ENGINE. ANY ONE CHECKING TO SEE IF THE QUEST HAS THE SAME FUEL PUMP/SENDER ASSEMBLY? THE SIMILARITIES ARE JUST TO OBVIOUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DISPLAYED INACCURATE INFORMATION AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND BEGAN TO HESITATE BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 123,000. ..UPDATE 04-10-14 *BF

VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE READ JUST BELOW 1/4 TANK AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. *TR ..UPDATE 04-10-14 *BF THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. UPDATED 07/23/14

IT WAS A NOISE COMING UNDER THE CAR WE TAKE TO MECHANIC .THEY TOLD ME TIMING CHAIN IS LOOSE DON'T DRIVE LIKE THIS IT IS DANGER 3500 DOLLARS TO FIX IT . WE TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN THEY SAID THE SAME . ASKING LOTSOF MONEY TO FIX IT . THIS PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURE FAULT BUT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE. NO MORE NISSAN FOR ME I HAVEN'T FINISH PAYMENT YET

IN APRIL 2012 THE NISSAN QUEST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC - THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SENSOR - CHARGED $694.00. ON JULY 8TH THE CAR STOPPED AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED A HALF A TANK OF GAS. I PUT GAS IN THE CAR BUT THE GAUGE DID NOT MOVE. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2007 NISSAN QUEST BECAUSE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. NISSAN UNWILLING TO REPAIR VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD - POLICE HAD TO BE CALLED TO GET MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER OUT OF VAN UNTIL VEHICLE COULD BE TOLLED. NISSAN STATES MY VIN # IS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED 2007 NISSAN QUEST VANS. IF YOU HAVE A RECALL ALL VANS SHOULD BE COVERED AND HOW DO THEY GET TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH ONES. *TR

DURING REGULAR OIL CHANGE DEALER ADVISED LOWER "A" ARM OF SUSPENSION AND LEFT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED CHANGE. I RESPONDED I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY GO AHEAD. DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY, I NEEDED TO PAY CASH FIRST. I INSISTED THE DEALER SEND SOMEONE TO THE CAR A COPY OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER FINALLY ACCEPTED THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ANOMALY IS THAT THE OIL DRAIN AND FILTER ARE IN IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY TO THE SUSPENSION AND ENGINE MOUNT AND THE DEFECTS WERE NOT DETECTED DURING PREVIOUS OIL CHANGES. IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DEFECTS WERE FOUND. THE DEALER EXPECTED NO WARRANTY EXISTED AND THEREFORE CASH WOULD NEED TO BE PAID. CASH PAYMENT FOR NON-WARRANTY IS KEPT SOLELY BY THE DEALER. MY CONCERN IS THE DEFECTS WERE FOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND WE WERE SENT BACK OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY IN A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WAITING FOR THE FACTORY WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY DEALERS ARE SENDING DANGEROUS CARS BACK OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR FACTORY WARRANTIES TO EXPIRE AND NOT HAVE TO SPLIT REPAIR FEES WITH CORPORATE. *TR

THE RATTLING NOISE BEGAN AT 45,000 MILES. WHEN I ACCELERATE, A RATTLING CHAIN SOUND IS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I CURRENTLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. IT HAS TO BE REPLACED OR IT WILL EVENTUALLY DO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. IT'S AN 8 HR PROCESS. IT'S ESTIMATED AT $1800 FOR THE REPAIR. THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THERE'S NO RECALL. THERE IS A REPAIR BULLETIN OUT BUT NO RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER READS 20-25MPH WHEN IT'S AT "PARKED" AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. I AM DRIVING 60MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD AND 100MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE REAR BLOWER TURNS ON BY ITSELF WHEN I TURN ON THE ENGINE. I HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THE BLOWER TURNS OFF. THE FRONT BLOWER IS OFF DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. THESE ARE REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED BY OTHER OWNERS AND YET THERE'S NO RECALL, ONLY SERVICE BULLETINS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, BACKUP SENSORS STOPPED WORKING, AND ALOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED, CLOSED, OR LATCHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT THEREFORE THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP/SYSTEM HAVE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. ON OR ABOUT 1/6/2013, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND COMING TO A LIGHT, THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND ADDED 1 GALLON OF GAS. NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. FUEL LEVEL STILL AT 1/4 TANK. MECHANIC ADDED GAS AND THE CAR STARTED. GAS GAUGE IS INACCURATE AND DANGEROUS. IN FEBRUARY 2013, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER DRIVING/PARKING THE VAN, IT WOULD START AND THEN TURN OFF, START AND THEN TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RUN BY GIVING IT GAS AS SOON AS IT STARTED. ON 3/13/2013, AFTER DRIVING THE VAN AND PARKING IT, IT WOULD NOT START. IT KEPT CRANKING, BUT NOTHING. MECHANIC FOUND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE WIRING AND WAS ABLE TO FIX IT. ON 3/28/2013, THE CAR STARTED AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WITH SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. VAN HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND SAID THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP GROUNDING. ON A NISSAN FORUM I DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING RECALL: "THE RECALL AFFECTS 2005 - 2008 NISSAN TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITI QX56S AS WELL AS NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUPS AND PATHFINDER AND XTERRA SUVS PRODUCED BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH 2006 AND BETWEEN OCTOBER 2007 AND JANUARY 2008. DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR INSIDE THE FUEL TANK, THE GAUGES CAN SHOW GAS TANKS A QUARTER FULL WHEN THEY ARE IN FACT EMPTY." I THINK THE NISSAN QUEST SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE INCORRECTLY DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL. THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO THE EMPTY FUEL TANK LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 152,617.

I HAVE RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN USA REGARDING THE TIMING CHAIN RATTLING NOISE ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE INDICATING A MAJOR DESIGN DEFICIENCY WITH CHAIN GUIDE, TENSIONER AND CHAINS. TIMING CHAIN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GO OUT AT THIS LOW MILES INTERVAL, AND NOTING THE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, I WOULD REQUEST THAT THIS ISSUE BEING INVESTIGATED AND BE MADE INTO A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE CHAIN WERE TO BREAK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. *TR

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE. ABS ACTUATOR FAILS TO PROPERLY ENGAGE UPON STARTING VEHICLE. "ABS", "TCS OFF", "SLIP" WARNING LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED AT START OF VEHICLE. ABS ACTUATOR MAKES PRONOUNCED NOISE (PUMPING BUT NOT ACCUMULATING NECESSARY PRESSURE) AT START OF VEHICLE. *TR

THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE WAS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED. WE WERE ASSURED BY THE TECHNICIAN AT NISSAN SANTA ROSA THAT UPON INVESTIGATION WE WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WEAR AND DAMAGE OF THE PARTS. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT FRAUD AND DECEPTION WAS COMMITTED WHICH IS A VIOLATION OF THE DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT (DTPA). AS PER THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA), THE UNITED STATES CODE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY (TITLE 49, CHAPTER 301) DEFINES MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY AS 'THE PERFORMANCE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE OR MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS THE PUBLIC AGAINST UNREASONABLE RISK OF ACCIDENTS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OR PERFORMANCE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND AGAINST UNREASONABLE RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT, AND INCLUDES NONOPERATIONAL SAFETY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE. GENERALLY, A SAFETY DEFECT IS DEFINED AS A PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE OR ITEM OF MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT THAT: POSES AN RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, AND MAY EXIST IN A GROUP OF VEHICLES OF THE SAME DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE, OR ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT OF THE SAME TYPE AND MANUFACTURE. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF PROBLEMS WITH TIMING CHAINS. TIMING CHAINS WERE USED IN PLACE OF BELTS BECAUSE OF THE SUPPOSED MAINTENANCE FREE QUALITY THEY PROVIDED. UNLIKE BELTS, TIMING CHAINS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, NISSAN WAS USING NYLON GEARS. METAL ON NYLON WILL WEAR OUT AND SHOULD

VAN STARTED TO DEVELOP A JERK WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AFTER VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP. WAS TOLD IT NEEDED MOTOR MOUNT AND SPENT $2300 AT NISSAN ON FRIDAY 11/30/12 TO HAVE SEVERAL REPAIRS INCLUDING THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT. NO JERKING AFTER WORK WAS DONE UNTIL SUNDAY , 12/2/12. ON MONDAY 12/3/12 AFTER DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO OPEN THE POWER SIDE DOORS TO LET THEM OUT. WHEN SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY AND LURCHED FORWARD ABOUT 2 FEET. I DID NOT HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BUT HAD THERE BEEN SOMEONE WALKING BETWEEN THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. I DON'T THINK IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BUT THERE COULD BE A HAZARD IF THE VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD AT THE WRONG TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE TONIGHT I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE NISSAN ALTIMA, MAXIMA, AND QUEST VEHICLES THAT UTILIZE THIS TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR CONTINUING TO ALLOW THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS TO BE UTILIZED AFTER THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. SEE WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.CHIMICLES.COM/NISSAN-TRANSMISSION-FAILURE-ALTIMA-MAXIMA-AND-QUEST-VEHICLES). THERE IS ALSO A WEBSITE WITH OWNER'S COMMENTS ON HAVING THE SAME TRANSMISSION FAILURES TOTALING OVER 150 VICTIMS, SEE WEBSITE HTTP://CLASSACTIONLAWSUITSINTHENEWS.COM/CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT-COMPLAINTS/NISSAN-MAXIMA-ALTIMA-QUEST-AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT-COMPLAINT/#COMMENTS.

I'VE BEEN IGNORING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. NOW IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE PROBLEM WAS, EVERYTIME I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, IT AUTOMATICALLY REOPENED ABOUT 6INCHES DOWN BY ITSELF. IN ORDER TO CLOSE IT COMPLETELY, I HAVE HOLD UP THE SWITCH FOR ABOUT 30SEC. TO 1MIN. I WONDER IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS THIS ISSUE. IF IT IS, IS IT STILL COVERS UNDER MANUFACTURING WARRANTY. *TR

FIXED THE BRAKES WITH OE PARTS, AND THEN BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS. TECHNICIAN ADVISED THESE PROBLEMS CAME FROM THE ROTORS GETTING HOT. HAD THE ROTORS TURNED WHICH DID NOT WORK. NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ROTORS ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WINDOW MOTOR ALSO HAS WENT BAD IN THE VEHICLE. *TR
