2007 Nissan Quest Engine cooling Problems

“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). …”

“I made a right at a stop sign and as I was completing the turn all power to engine was lost. I had just bought the van 6 days prior to failure. My gas reading was at just below half tank. I could turn the key and the engine would turn over but not catch all the way. Lost all power steering and braking systems too. Very dangerous and upsetting had my children been with me. I had to have someone hood a chain to my front end to get the van out of the middle of the street. No warranty, only service contract to repair.”

“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.”

“Was driving vehicle at approximately 45 MPH when the engine suddenly stalled and all power controls were lost such as power steering and brakes. Car was carefully maneuvered to the side of the roadway. After a thorough inspection it was found that the vehicle was out of fuel however the fuel gauge read just little below 1/4 of a tank. It was brought to my attention via the internet that this is a common problem with this vehicle and I also believe that the situation of losing all functions of the vehicle suddenly could have caused an accident and was a threat to safety.”

“I have a 2007 Nissan Quest. I have noticed a humming sound coming from the engine. I get regular oil changes and asked the service tech to see if he could also hear the noise. He said that it sounded like it was coming from my timing chain. I took it to the nearest Nissan dealership service center and they confirmed that it was the timing chain. I was quoted $3300 to repair my vehicle. I also took my vehicle to another auto shop and two li master technicians were in complete disbelief that this was indeed the problem. …”
