NHTSA Complaint #10474208 — 2012 NISSAN QUEST

CAR WAS PARKED ON A PARKING LOT ON A VERY SLIGHT DECLINE. LOW FUEL INDICATOR JUST CAME ON BUT DISTANCE TO EMPTY INDICATOR STILL SHOWS 50+ MILES. VEHICLE STARTED AT FIRST BUT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THEN ENGINE DIED. TRIED RESTARTING A FEW TIMES BUT IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE FINE (RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC). HAD TO PUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS TO GET IT TO START AGAIN. DROVE TO THE GAS STATION RIGHT AWAY AND FILLED IT UP WITH ONLY 14.5 GALLONS OF TANK. MANUAL SAYS VEHICLE HAS 20 GALLON FUEL TANK CAPACITY. I WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL (CAMPAIGN: 12V076000) BUT INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED SINCE THE CAMPAIGN WAS BACK IN MARCH 2012 AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2012. WAS LATER CONFIRMED BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR THAT MY CAR WAS INDEED NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, CAR SHOWS SIMILAR SYMPTOMS WITH SAME MODEL CARS THAT WERE RECALLED. *TR
