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.
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 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.
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 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.
