| Description of the problem | As my wife drove our brand new quest down a slope to make a left hand turn, the quest died. She stopped the car and tried to restart it to no avail. When i arrived i had her attempt to start as i listened to the engine, it was turning and the car had power but it was acting like it had no fuel. The gauge showed a little over 1/4 tank. When the tow truck arrived he took us to a gas staton first, after fueling the car started. When i submitted it to the quest dealership the service chief said this was the third time he's seen this happen in the past month! The fact that nissan has clear evidence of a problem that can prove very, very, dangerous yet has not issued a recall is very disturbing. Please address, thank you. |
