2007 NISSAN QUEST Recalls, Complaints & Safety

Check engine light came on and says fuel level sensor circuit a low

The ceiling panel fell down inside the van. Thank goodness there was no one sitting in my back seats. They would have seriously been injured or even killed. The panel is very heavy.

Sometimes when I press on the brakes the steering wheel shakes. It’s inconsistent and I can’t pinpoint actually causes to avoid it happening. It’s never been serviced or has never shown a service indicator

1. Fuel Gauge- the fuel Hague is incorrect. I suspect somewhere between 1/2 tank and 3/8 tank will actually be an empty tank. I was almost left stranded when I could make it to the next service station. The car performed slow and the car came to a slow stop. No fuel indicator light came on. 2. My steering wheel has been very difficult to turn. Suddenly the power steering tank requires daily service. There is a rattling noise that gets a little better when I pour power steering fluid. I am unable to make safe turns due to the steering wheel no moving at it’s normal rate. Turning at intersections is the worst as I sometimes have to try several attempts. I end up having to take wide turns and that is not always safe in our narrow streets. There is no indicator light related to this concern.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SUBFRAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER WALSER NISSAN WAYZATA (15906 WAYZATA BLVD, WAYZATA, MN 55391, (612) 426-6995) AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,500.

I JUST REPLACED ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THEY HAVE GONE BAD AGAIN. AFTER LOOKING UP MANY FORUMS ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW. WHY HAS THIS NOT BECOME A RECALL ON NISSAN'S PART? ARE MOTOR MOUNTS NOT A CONCERN? EVERYONE IS STATING THAT NO MATTER WHAT THEY USE, EITHER AFTERMARKET OR GENUINE NISSAN PARTS, THEY ALL FAIL.

SEVERE SUB-FRAME ROT ONLY ON PASSENGER SIDE. BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. DRIVER SIDE APPEARS FINE. APPEARS A/C DRIP IS SUSPECT, AND THE FRAME JUST ROTS DIRECTLY BELOW IT. ONLINE SEARCH REVEALED NUMEROUS EXACT COMPLAINTS. ALL OTHER COMPONENTS ARE SOLID. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY RECALL? *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL BUT ISSUE STILL EXISTS. DEALER CLAIMS I NEED TO PAY TO DETERMINE IF IT IS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER ALSO CONFIRMED THEY DO NOT VERIFY THE RECALL WORK DONE WAS SUCCESSFUL. ALL THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS "PUT IN THE NEW PARTS". WHEN I FILL THE TANK WITHIN 5 MINS. IT GOES BACK TO EMPTY ON THE GAS GAUGE. THE RECALL DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE. WHEN GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TANK RAN OUT GAS.

MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST WITH144,500 MILES, HAS A REAL BAD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR TAKING OFF FROM A STANDSTILL. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT IS FROM BAD MOTOR MOUNTS. WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING, THE MOTOR MOVES A LOT. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY MORE NOISES WHEN TURNING, MAINLY WIN BRAKING AND ACCELERATING, BUT ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP OR DOWN A GEAR.

THE GAS GAUGE MUST BE FAULTY. IF I FILL UP MAY MOVE OR NOT. USUALLY SHOWS EMPTY. THE VAN MAY BE MOVING OR SITTING STILL . I CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 68,000 VANS THAT WERE REPAIRED. I THINK THE PART IS CALLED SENDER UNIT.

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND DRIVING HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVED UP BUT DIDN'T MOVE THEN IT CONTINUED TO DRIVE EVERY NOW AND THEN IT DID THIS . NO HORN NO AIR BAGS SUSPENSION THEN FELT FUNNY.

MY VAN HAS 120K MILES ON IT. FOR THE PAST ONE YEAR, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A RATTLE SOUND IN THE ENGINE. IT COMES ON A COLD START AND WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. MY MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AND SAID THESE NISSAN ENGINES HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. LATELY THE RATTLE SOUND KEEPS COMING FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE SOME OTHER PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE THAT WOULD STALL THE ENGINE WHILE RUNNING ON THE ROAD. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, WHICH IT ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT.

"TAKATA RECALL". SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE IS NEEDED ON BRAKES ELECTRIC IS ISSUE. BRAKES SEEMS VERY WARE AND ......

TAKATA RECALL.... TRANSMISSION IS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY. WHEN IT SNAPS INTO PLACE IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 MONTHS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN SHIFTING INTO ANOTHER GEAR OR WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE REMAINED AT 50 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. WHEN WE DRIVE, THE NEEDLE MOVES BEGINNING AT THE 50 MPH MARK.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 80000 MILES. JERKING ETC. STARTED EARLIER AROUND 75000 MILES. RIDICULOUS. PLEASE ALERT ME TO ANY CLASS ACTION SUITS.

TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. LOUD RATTLING WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, $1670.

THE ECM (COMPUTER) IS PLACEMENT IS UNDER WINDSHIELD. WHICH OVER TIME ALLOWS WATER TO RUN DOWN INTO THE ECM CAUSING EROSION AND HOLES IN THE HOUSING AND COMPUTER. THEN WATER GETS INTO THE COMPUTER CAUSING IT FAIL COMMUNICATING OR NOT PROPERLY COMMUNICATING WITH THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO OWN. MY COMPUTER IS DAMAGED DUE TO ITS PLACEMENT AND WATER HITTING OVER TIME. THIS HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO SHAKE AND SEND ERRORS THAT CAUSE THE CYLINDER TO MISS FIRE. I WAS DRIVING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SLAMS INTO GEAR. MAKES AN AWFUL BANGING NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. LOSING TRANS FLIUD, SEEMS LIKE WE ARE GOING THROUGH JUGS OF FLUID. ALSO HAD A COOLANT LEAK, EVEN AFTER HAVING NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED, STILL SMELL COOLANT AND IT'S BEEN A WHILE WHEN THE CARE IS BEING CHECKED, MECHANIC CAN'T SEEM TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VERY FRUSTRATING AND SCARY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING. HAPPENS MORE SO WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING OR IF THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME.

TRANSMISSION JERKS/SLIPS BETWEEN GEARS ON DAILY BASIS. THIS JUST APPEARED IN THE SPRING AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING/INCREASING PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO MECHANIC AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND ASKED FOR RESOLUTION. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT IF TAKE FOOT OFF GAS, COAST, THEN PUT FOOT ON GAS AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE JERK IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO AFFECT THE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE CAR. IT SEEMS LIKE EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL JUST NOT ENGAGE AND I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT ON SIDE OF ROAD.

THE FUEL GUAGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET, THEN ON A BUSY EXIT RAMP, ONCE ON INTERSTATE 695 IN BALTIMORE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY HIT BY TRAFFIC BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE.

SUDDEN ONSET OF RATTLING NOISE WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER BUMPS AND DURING BRAKING. TOOK TO FIRESTONE AND WAS TOLD ONE OF THE CALIPER SCREWS WAS MISSING AND THE REMAINING THREE CALIPER SCREWS WERE LOOSE. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE BRAKE NOT TO FUNCTION.

FUEL GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHEN IT'S ALMOST FULL, NISSAN DID A FUEL SENDER CAMPAIGN REPAIR BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM...THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND DRIVE JUST A MILE OR SO

RATTLE NOISE WHEN STARTED AND A CELEBRATE TIMING BELT ISSUES

TRANSMISSION HAS VIBRATION(SHUTTERING)WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON LEVEL SURFACES AS WELL AS WHEN DRIVING ON INCLINES AT TIMES.VIBRATION STRONG ENOUGH TO VIBRATE INSIDE DASH AREA.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP, THE RPMS WILL REV WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE TRANS WILL JERK INTO GEAR WHEN IN LOWER GEARS, IT IS NOW HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING ALL TOGETHER.

WE WERE HEADED OUT ON A 2400 MILE TRIP AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE OUR VAN WAS READY. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE STRUTS. GOT THOSE FIXED. A WEEK LATER WE WERE BACK IN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE AND THEY FIXED THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS. A FEW DAYS LATER AGAIN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE WE FOUND OUT THE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED FIXED.

I BEING HAVING THIS PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS ALREADY. EVERYTIME THAT I DRIVE MY NISSAN QUEST FOR A WHILE THE GEARS START SLIPPING. BEFORE AND AFTER I MAKE A STOP IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY HIT ME IN THE BACK.

TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER BEGAN TO FAIL AROUND 105,000. COST TO REPLACE WAS 2166.57. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TIMING CHAINS WERE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER THAN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME.

WIDESPREAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS RANGING FROM ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS, HESITATION WHILE ACCELERATING AND SUDDEN STOPS OR JERKING.
