| 2005 nissan quest had less than a 1/4 tank of gas and light was on. was at dealership getting brakes replaced for the 4th time. took van to gas station next door and put 16 gallons ($62) of gas in. restarted car and gas tank still read less than 1/4 and empty light/warnings still flashing. drove back to dealership, they tried to reset and ended up disconnecting the battery. once the battery was reconnected the fuel gauge showed full. this was oct 2011 with 46,000mi. it is now april and car has 55,000mi. i was unable to disconnect battery so had to continue driving with warning light. after about 20mi, gauge now reads less than 1/2 tank but tank should be reading full. there was already a recall for a number of nissan vehicles for gas gauge issues. clearly a nissan issue that needs to be recalled and fixed across the board. having to disconnect the battery to get the fuel gauge to read is not a good long term solution. also this van goes through brakes at an astounding rate. we have had to replace the brake pads front and back 4 times in the last 30,000 mi and now need new rotors. also have replaced tires 3 times. most recent mechanic said van was poorly designed with brakes and tires meant for a much lighter vehicle. | |||

| I have had the van in the shop at least 4 times(~15 days) with ongoing problems which include: the windows failing to roll up when button is pushed, the gas gauge failing to register gas after filling it up, the gas meter after a half a tank never registers correctly (when light indicates no gas and tank is filled the van will only take 16 gallons and owners manual indicates a 20 gallon tank), the transmission slips, the sliding doors squeak and rattle, rear interior clamps on floor of car are rusting, idiot lights come on intermittently, the gaskets on the doors are coming off, the heated seats haven't worked in high and low, the entertainment system doesn't respond to rear av, and the air conditioner is not cool enough and it stinks. the automatic slide doors will not stop for small objects but this product was designed for families. these doors will remove a child's finger and the switch to initiate the auto slide is low, where one child can push it while another is getting in, or has their hand in the way and didn't realize their brother pushed the button. i did my own little research test, i got pencils and everywhere i placed a pencil the door closed with the pencil being snapped into many pieces and crunched up in the door. then i tried the same thing on my friend's honda, but the honda's auto slide doors bounced off every time. nissan only designed their doors to respond to large extremities. i have an attorney and i am going through a process for lemon law. i didn't realize the issues with the van in a few days so i don't think nissan service will resolve all these issues in 2 days with a special nissan engineer sent out from the company as part of my lemon law process. and in regards to the sliding door concerns all anyone will say is that the doors are performing the way they were designed to. so nissan designed a product for families that will remove a small hand or finger. *jb | |||
