I bought my 2007 nissan quest in april 2008 with only 26 miles on it. I noticed within a couple months that when going over 30 miles an hour the brakes did not engage right away and I had to pump them once or twice to get them to work much like my 20 year old car when I was a teen. In sept 08 I was in an accident when driving 35 miles an hour with a good 5-6 car lengths away when the car in front of me suddenly stopped and I could not stop.
On june 23,2007 my new 2007 nissan quest spontaneously caught fire while parked in my garage, turned off, keys not even in the ignition. The fire department was able to get the fire out but not before my quest and my garage sustained damage. I called the dealership where I had purchased this vehicle, new, and their response was "so why are you calling us?". I then called the nissan company who agreed to do an investigation into the cause.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan quest. When the contact attempted to adjust the passenger side seat, her fingers met exposed metal. As a result, she sustained cuts to her fingers. As of october 22, 2007, the dealer had not inspected the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 3,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan quest. The contact stated that the fuel gauge provided an incorrect reading. The fuel gauge level read half a tank when the fuel tank was empty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing; however, the contact did not have the name of the part that was needed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 78,000. Updated 8/10/15
Same as most others on here, we were driving and the vehicle ran out of gas. Gas gauge read just over quarter of a tank, yet was actually empty. We do our best to get it filled up at a half tank, but this is the third time this has happened in a year and a half. We've gotten two letters from nissan informing us of the issue, but it's starting to appear as though nothing is going to be done to fix this safety issue. Hopefully someone doesn't have to die to get them to stand behind their product.
