Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The fuel gauge shows an incorrect reading. The indicator shows that it is empty even when I refuel it with full tank. The car stops on the road as the fuel shows an incorrect reading which poses a dangerous threat. I have got the fuel pump replaced three times. It is very frustrating to spend so much time and money and not getting the issue fixed. The car also failed inspection because of this issue. There is a recall for 2007-2008-2009 Nissan quests' but my 2008 Nissan Quest is not included in the recall!”
NHTSA complaint #11298382, filed 2020-01, 140,000 miles“Nissan recalled certain VIN for fuel gauge malfunction. My fuel gauge does not work at all, and my engine light is on all the time. I live in temperatures in az that can exceed 125 degrees, so if I run out of gas, this could be a very serious situation.”
NHTSA complaint #10877093, filed 2016-06, 99,000 miles“Takata recall my van has left us in the middle of the road multiple times at least 4. When ever it gets to a quarter tank of gas we get worried. It says we still have fuel but in fact is empty. I saw online that our van year has a recall but this website shows there is nothing for our van. It worries us because we have our kids in the vehicle normally and the last thing we need is for someone to hit us because we ran out of gas. We have been at stop lights and it just dies. We have been in motion and it just dies. …”
NHTSA complaint #11083199, filed 2018-04, 152,000 miles“Car ran out of gas with gauge reading 77 miles to empty. I have a mailing form Nissan north america, inc-- with my name, address, make and model of car, VIN number -- stating that there is this exact problem and that they will fix the issue at no charge. Yet-- when I talk to the dealership as well as 1800 nissan1-- both explain that there is no recall on the van at all and that I must pay $130 to have the vehicle looked at and then for the repair. I don't understand how they are not aware of the mailing they sent me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10725290, filed 2015-06, 120,000 miles“Inaccurate fuel gauge - my wife's Nissan Quest 2008 came to a complete stall in the middle of the road, while the fuel gauge was showing 70 miles left to empty. The regular dashboard gauge, also showed some level of gas. In reality, the tank had no gas at all. We confirmed that when, after some people's help, we were able to manually put some gas to arrive to the nearest gas station. My wife was in the car with the kids and it was a scary moment, to say the least. This was the second time it happened (unnoticed the reason the first time). …”
