| Description of the problem | I've ran out of fuel about three times, the fuel gauge was reading 1/4 or more of fuel. About the third time driving around 30mph, my quest ran out of fuel but again, it read a 1/4 full. This time the quest become very hard to control to get out of the road. I called my mechanic, he sent a towing truck, and diagnosed the quest with a bad fuel pump. He repaired costing me about $880. 00. He also mentioned that the pump went bad due to running out of fuel several times. Around november 2014, nissan sent me a letter notifying about the fuel gauge malfunction and display and accurate fuel level reading. No crap, wonder why i was running out gas constantly and getting a bad fuel pump costing me $880. I called nissan demanding a refund for replacing the fuel pump, after going back and forth they denied my claim. I think is time to start a class a lawsuit due to unnecessary fuel pump cost and near crash misses. |
