2012 Nissan Quest Fuel System Problems

SE ME PRENDI UNA. SEAL EN LA PANTALLA. LO LLEVE MECNICO. U ME APARECE EL CODIGO PO101 Y AL LEERLO DICE. PROBLEMAS. DE LA CONDUCION GASOLINA AL MOTOR. MALO EL FLUJO GASOLINA TENGO TEMOR. PUES. ANDO CON 3 NIAS. QUE SE. VAYA. A PARAR MI CARRO Y UN ACCIDENTE

MULTIPLE TIMES GOT INTO THE VEHICLE (NO SPECIFIC TIME THIS WOULD OCCUR) AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AS IT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. WHEN THE VAN WOULD BE PLACED IN REVERSE IT WOULD ENGAGE AND BACKING UP WOULD OCCUR. ONCE THEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN SHUTTER AND THEN STALL OUT. THIS DID OCCUR TWICE WHILE DRIVER WAS PULLING OUT, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE WOULD FINALLY START. AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES THIS OCCURRED, WE STARTED DOCUMENTING THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE AND EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED IT WAS ON OR BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS. SINCE KEEPING AT LEAST A 1/2 TANK OF FUEL, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EXHIBITED THIS BEHAVIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL MECHANIC TO BE LOOKED AT. AFTER ASSESSING THE VEHICLE BASED ON OUR DESCRIPTION, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALER DUE TO BEING A TSB OUT ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER AFTER BEING STOPPED IN DRIVE (STOP SIGN, PULLING OUT MOVING FORWARD, OR ACCELERATING UP A HILL). TESTING WAS DONE, AND CODE P0500 WAS LISTED. WE HAD THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CHANGED, NEW BATTERY, AND UP /LOWER MANIFOLD GASKETS CHANGED, IN ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS ISSUE. AFTER EACH OF THESE SERVICES WERE DONE, THE VEHICLE DID RUN SOMEWHAT BETTER, BUT STILL OCCURS OFF AND ON.

THERE IS A FUEL SYSTEM GLITCH IN THE SOFTWARE. THE CAR STALLS WHEN IDLING OR TRAVELING AT SPEEDS LOWER THAN 40 MPH. IT ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS AT STOP LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS AS WELL. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE BUT IT WILL REVERSE. I AM ABLE TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPOT BUT AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD. IT IT'S VERY INCONSISTENT AND WILL HAPPEN FREQUENTLY FOR WEEKS, THEN GO A COUPLE WEEKS WITHOUT HAPPENING BEFORE IT STARTS BACK AGAIN. A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN ABOUT A SOFTWARE ERROR WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE 2011-2012 QUESTS BUT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET REPAIRED TWICE AND NO ONE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER IT WOULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL YESTERDAY, A NEW MECHANIC FOUND THE PROBLEM AND THE BULLETIN ABOUT THE RECALL BUT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN QUEST. WHEN THE FUEL TANK REACHED A QUARTER TANK AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN A DECLINE, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DECLINE FROM WHERE THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO PURCHASE FUEL AND FILLED THE TANK ABOVE A QUARTER OF THE TANK. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (COUGHLIN AUTOMOTIVE IN NEWARK, OHIO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ONE OF THE FUEL SENSORS WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

MY NEW 2012 NISSAN QUEST GOES DEAD AND WILL NOT START WHEN SITTING ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE IN THE FRONT. IT HAS GAS BUT IT WILL SPUTTER AND WILL NOT START. MY DRIVEWAY GOES DOWNHILL AND I CANNOT EVEN PARK IN DRIVEWAY I HAVE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED I PUT VAN IN NEUTRAL TO POSSIBLY GET IT LEVEL AND WITHOUT NOTICE THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK WHEN IN NEUTRAL AND MY BRAND NEW VAN RAN THRU THE GARAGE DOOR!!!!! WHEN YOU PAY ALL THAT MONEY FOR A NISSAN THAT YOU CONSIDER RELIABLE REALLY BOTHERS ME!!! TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY WE WILL SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING UP A 2-3% GRADE. IT APPEARED TO RUN OUT OF FUEL ALTHOUGH THE NAVIGATION DISPLAY INDICATED THERE WERE 21 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. THE FUEL GAUGE ALSO INDICATED FUEL REMAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH AND FORTUNATELY IT COASTED TO THE TOP OF THE GRADE. AT THAT POINT, THE ENGINE BEGAN RECEIVING FUEL ONCE AGAIN AND KICKED IN. THIS APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED ON THE 2011 MODEL YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE NARROW ROAD AROUND A BLIND CURVE WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OFF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD THE VEHICLE'S MOMENTUM NOT CARRIED IT TO THE TOP OF THE GRADE. CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED ON 02/06/2012 AND THE GM STATED THAT IT WAS THE SECOND CALL ABOUT A 2012 QUEST FUEL ISSUE HE HAS RECEIVED. THE OTHER INVOLVED A VEHICLE PARKED ON AN INCLINE THAT WOULD NOT START AND APPEARED TO NOT BE GETTING FUEL ALTHOUGH THE NAVIGATION AND GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK. WHEN ADDITIONAL FUEL WAS ADDED THAT VEHICLE STARTED. ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 02/06/12 AND FILED A COMPLAINT PROVIDING THEM WITH DETAILS OF THE SITUATION. HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR NISSAN AS OF 02/11/2012. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL AND THE CONTACT ADDED AN ADDITIONAL ONE FOURTH A TANK OF GASOLINE BUT THE VEHICLE STILL WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 3000.

VAN WAS PARKED NOSE DOWN ON APPROX. 10 TO 12 DEGREE HILL. VAN REFUSED TO START AND HAD BE TOWED TO DEALER. WAS TOLD NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS WORKING ON A FIX. WAS THAN TOLD TO KEEP AT LEAST HALF A TANK OF GAS IN VAN AT ALL TIMES. *TR ....
