NHTSA Complaint #10824571 — 2007 NISSAN QUEST

I RAN OUT OF GAS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. BOTH TIMES I THOUGHT I HAD PLENTY OF GAS DUE TO WHAT THE GAUGE SAID. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD MY 2 KIDS WITH ME AND IT RAN OUT AS I WAS GOING AROUND AN UNFAMILIAR CURVE IN THE INTERSTATE. THE VAN BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN A LANE NEXT TO A SHOULDER SO I WAS ABLE TO FIGHT IT OFF OF THE ROAD. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STOP AT THAT POINT. THE SECOND TIME, I HAD 7 PEOPLE IN THE CAR INCLUDING MY 2 KIDS AND 4 OF THEIR YOUNG FRIENDS. THIS TIME IT RAN OUT JUST AS I CAME TO A CURVE ON A ROAD WHERE PEOPLE TEND TO SPEED. I DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP THE VAN FROM CROSSING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE, BUT LUCKY FOR US, NOBODY WAS IN THE OTHER LANE AT THAT TIME. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BOTH TIMES I MISSED VERY IMPORTANT MEETINGS BUT WAS THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TO RESET MY MILEAGE COUNTER WHEN I FILL UP AND WATCH TO MAKE SURE I DON'T PUSH IT TO FAR, BUT ALWAYS AFRAID I MAY GUESS INCORRECTLY. I AM PROBABLY FILLING UP AT 1/2 TANK FOR FEAR OF STALLING AGAIN WITH MY KIDS IN THE VAN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, I THOUGHT I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE. I HAD MY VAN IN FOR SERVICE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND ASKED THEM ABOUT IT. THEY LOOKED IT UP AND SAID THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THAT WAS AROUND 2015/03. I AM TIRED OF CONSTANTLY FILLING UP, SO I AM LOOKING INTO HOW TO GET IT FIXED. THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FAULTY GAUGE ISSUE.
