| Description of the problem | Near miss with a stalling nissan quest sl 2011. This is an extremely unsafe and very dangerous problem that can cause severe accidents and death or serious injury in the event of a crash. I bought a nisan quest sl in november 2011. Back in december 2011 while having a little bit less than a quarter tank of gasoline i made a left turn to get into incoming traffic and the vehicle stalled right on the traffic lane, fortunately there were not any cars close to my vehicle. Initially i thought it had been an isolated event, but my wife commented that the same thing had happened to her. This weekend while driving down hill and entering an intersection the vehicle stalled again (i was going straight, without turning) and the car behind me was barely able to stop when i lost speed, they almost hit us. From the events explained above i assume the fuel injection is failing due to a bad gas tank design and/or the turning and/or driving down hill may be contributing due to the uneven flow of gasoline. Again this is an extremely dangerous condition that may cause severe accidents. |
