| Description of the problem | While traveling on a highway the van lost power and stopped. The gas gauge showed the tank was half full, however there was no gas in the tank. The incident happened on a busy highway, and there were children in the car. Based on what i've read online - this is not an isolated occurrence. Nissan has recalled cars with similar problems but not the quest model. This is a very dangerous issue and could have resulted in deaths of three people. The problem with the gas gauge has been confirmed by a nissan dealer as well as an independent car mechanic. Please recall the gas gauge in nissan quest before someone dies!... Updated 04-10-14 *bf |
