| Description of the problem | The fuel indication light came on while departing our neighborhood, while going down a hill to a stop sign the vehicle stalled and would not restart. Had to fill the tank via a gas can to make it to the station. Gas light came on tonight march 15th while in interstate and drove approximately 7 miles and parked. Indicator at the time still said we had approximately 40 miles. Parked on a decline and car would not start when we returned. Again filled tank with a gallon of gas and drove to station where we filled with an additional 14 gallons. 14 gallons + 1 gallon from can = 15 gallons.... In a supposed 20 gallon tank? The math isn't adding up. Luckily our children haven't been in the car on either occurrence nor have we stalled on a busy highway where a serious accident could occur as a result. There is an obvious problem with the 2011 nissan quest fuel tank or pump which is causing the vehicle to stall or not start when there is more than 4-5 gallons of gas in the tank. This needs to be recalled and corrected before somebody is killed. There are countless forums online now that we have just found tonight with people across the country experiencing the same issue.... With dealerships not offering any assistance. Please help. |
