2007 NISSAN QUEST Steering Problems

1. Fuel Gauge- the fuel Hague is incorrect. I suspect somewhere between 1/2 tank and 3/8 tank will actually be an empty tank. I was almost left stranded when I could make it to the next service station. The car performed slow and the car came to a slow stop. No fuel indicator light came on. 2. My steering wheel has been very difficult to turn. Suddenly the power steering tank requires daily service. There is a rattling noise that gets a little better when I pour power steering fluid. I am unable to make safe turns due to the steering wheel no moving at it’s normal rate. Turning at intersections is the worst as I sometimes have to try several attempts. I end up having to take wide turns and that is not always safe in our narrow streets. There is no indicator light related to this concern.

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...

THE PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE DEVELOPS A TERRIBLE LEAK. EVENTUALLY REQUIRED A 1/2 BOTTLE OF PS FLUID NEARLY EVERY DAY! THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE HOSE IS "BURIED" BEHIND THE ENGINE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REPLACE. A REPLACEMENT HOSE IS LESS THAN $100 BUT IT TAKES MULTIPLE HOURS OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION TO REPLACE. THIS TYPE OF POOR WORKMANSHIP IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE FACT THAT IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM IS UNCONSCIONABLE. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CONSUMERS. THE LEAKED CAUSED STEERING ISSUES ON NUMEROUSE OCCASIONS. IT NEVER FAILED COMPLETELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CARRIED A GALLON JUG OF PS FLUID WITH ME EVERYWHERE I WENT. NOW, NOT ONLY DID IT TAKE ME FOREVER TO REPAIR THIS ITEM, MY DRIVEWAY IS AN EYESORE. POWER STEERING FLUID IS A VERY CAUSTIC PRODUCT AND DOES NOT CLEAN UP THEREFORE IT HAS DESTROYED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ABILITY TO STEER SEIZED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THE FIRST INCIDENT, OCCURRING IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, CAUSED MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST TO STALL/SHUT OFF AND NOTHING WORKED - IT LOST ALL STEERING, POWER, ACCELERATION, BRAKING, ETC. IT JUST DIED, GOING APPROXIMATELY 15MPH WHILE VEERING RIGHT TO TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER. THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT A MONTH LATER, WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) GOING UPHILL AT NIGHT. VAN JUST DIED AND I WAS STRANDED ON THE ROAD - LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET FAR ENOUGH NEAR A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY NOT TO GET HIT BY A CAR, AN TO CALL FOR HELP. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING SUFFICIENT GAS LEFT IN THE TANK, BUT IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. WE HAD PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR AND LUCKILY THE MECHANIC WAS HONEST AND SMART AND CONCLUDED THAT IT NEEDED FUEL AND THE GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. LUCKILY ON BOTH OCCASIONS, NONE OF OUR...

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AND ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OUT. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. NEEDED TO MAKE EVASIVE MOVES TO AVOID ACCIDENT AND GET OFF ROAD. CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. DASHBOARD FUEL GAUGE SAID 1/4 TANK OF GAS. ONBOARD TRIP DISPLAY SAID ZERO (0) DISTANCE TILL EMPTY, BUT I DO NOT USE THIS. I HAD TO GET ASSISTANCE AND 1 PUT LESS THAN 1 GALLON GAS IN CAR. FUEL GAUGE DID NOT MOVE AND STILL SAYS THERE IS 1/4 TANK GAS, WHILE TRIP COMPUTER REGISTERED ABOVE 0 DTE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 27 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AND HAVE ALWAYS RELIED ON THE GAUGE, NOT THE TRIP COMPUTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD 2 KIDS IN THE CAR,...

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN QUEST 2007 SE IN MAY OF 2012.. FROM A DEALER... AFTER 2 MONTHS OF OWNING MY VEHICLE I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION WOULD ALWAYS RATTLE... OR FELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS HITING.. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND SAID IT WAS THE SUSPENSION SO HE SENT ME TO HIS MECHANIC.... AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS WITH OUT MY VEHICLE...THEY CALLED ME TO SAY EVERYTHING WAS GOOD ... IT DID THE SAME THING A FEW WEEK LATER..... AT THIS TIME I NOTICED THE THE STEERING WILL WAS GETTING STIFF SO I HAD IT CHECKED THE OIL AND YES IT WAS A LITTLE LOW.. SO I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID... AS I WAS HEADED TO THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN TO THE RIGHT OFF HIGHWAY LANE... SO I DECIDED TO TURN BACK TO TOWN..... I...

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND COMES TO A STOP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE I DECIDED TO CHECK THE MTE AND GAS GAUGE WHICH BOTH INDICATE THERE IS PLENTY OF GAS TO CONTINUE. I HAD THE BATTERY,ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED AND THEY WERE FINE. SO I DECIDED TO ADD MORE GAS THEN SHAZAM IT STARTED. PLEASE INFORM IF THERE'S A RECALL OR HOW TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THANKS. *TR
