| Description of the problem | The van began to sputter and seemingly misfire once shifted into gear. I suspected a case of clogged fuel injectors and pressed firmly with the throttle to clear the line of debris. The van then stalled in the intersection as i was making a left turn, the transmission disengaged itself and provided no gear resistance. Fortunately the timing of oncoming traffic allowed me to coast out of the intersection, using the downward grade of a nearby alley in order to exit the street. Inspection of the van revealed obd ii codes: p0500 and p0720. Further investigation revealed an existing recall for automobiles of this make, model and year, that exhibit the events i have encountered. I believe that recall:12v076000 recall date 02/29/2012 should be expanded to include my vin due to the similarity of events encountered as well as the hazard thereby created. I am fortunate to have made it through the intersection without getting t-boned. Below are reference quotes and links that further describe the experience and illustrate the identical circumstances that prompted the existing recall. Reference a: http://p0500. Enginetroublecode. Com/nissan-quest p0500 obd-ii diagnostic powertrain (p) trouble code description p0500 obd-ii trouble code the vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4 pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is rotated by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a p0500 code. Reason for p0500 code the reason of p0500 obd-ii engine trouble code is fuel composition sensor circuit malfunction. Parts or components should not be replaced with reference to only a p0500 dtc. The vehicle service manual should be consulted for more information on possible causes of the fault, along with required testing. Reference b: https://www. Cars.
