Inaccurate fuel gauge - my wife's Nissan quest 2008 came to a complete stall in the middle of the road, while the fuel gauge was showing 70 miles left to empty. The regular dashboard gauge, also showed some level of gas. In reality, the tank had no gas at all. We confirmed that when, after some people's help, we were able to manually put some gas to arrive to the nearest gas station. My wife was in the car with the kids and it was a scary moment, to say the least. This was the second time it happened (unnoticed the reason the first time). Contacted Nissan consumer affairs and brought the car to a Nissan dealer for diagnostics. They validated that the car run out of gas with 66 miles left to empty on the display.

I backed out of driveway towards the south to head north on public way. Vehicle immediately started accelerating backwards (south) without assistance, quickly getting out of control. No amount of pressure on my part would make the brakes work and there was no control of the steering. The vehicle was no longer under my control and crashed backwards into a large tree which held it from crashing farther, and a small tree on the side which held it from rolling down into a brook. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request and I would prefer that it be inspected. No vehicles or pedestrians were in the street when the vehicle lost all control without human assistance. The passenger is front passenger seat was taken to ER and has since been seeing a doctor. The problem has not bee

Ever since I purchase my Nissan quest 2008 last year on october 26, 2013. My cd doesn't work. It keeps ejecting the cd out and no music, I might say. Also, everytime I turn on my van, the radio works, then in a few minutes it blows out the music. Then a buzzing sounds starts to happen. The passenger window doesn't go up all the way. As I press the button to go up, the window comes down half way. I have to constantly press the window button. Little by little so the window can close. My air conditioner takes forever to get cool. Instead of cool air, it blows warm air. I am very upset, because I am still paying for this Nissan quest. I have all the car fax, given to me by the car dealer and it says the car has no problems and its in complete great conditions. And that it had only one recall r

brakes 1 complaint shown
When I press the brakes the car accelerates. I have had a data recorder attached when this happened, but the dealer says that it didn't record anything.-- this happens intermittently---, while in slow traffic as I pump the brakes. Specifically : the RPM actually increased as the car made the ABS grinding sound and increased the velocity of the car. I had to quickly put the car in neutral to get control of the vehicle. The dealer service agent states that they cannot guarantee that any repair will resolve the issue. They cannot guarantee that pressing the brake will not make the car stop; but they admit that pressing the brake could accelerate the velocity of the car. I have duplicated this issue to the dealer mechanic foreman at universal city Nissan in california but he no longer works at
