| 1994 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL | THESE ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES!!!! VEHICLE HAS HAD A FUEL ODOR FOR A LONG TIME AFTER REFUELING, CONDITION WORSENED RESULTS: FUEL VENT HOSE: WHEN REFUELING, GAS BEGAN TO PROFUSELY LEAK AND POOL BENEATH VEHICLE. FIXED AT MY COST. FUEL HOSES: VERY STRONG FUEL FUMES FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT, DEALER REPLACED TWO FUEL RAIL RUBBER HOSES AT MY EXPENSE. MOST PROBLEMATIC IS AN INTERMITTENT STALLING PROBLEM: AFTER SITTING, WITHIN FIRST 5 MILES OF DRIVING WHEN STOPPING OR AT LOW SPEED VEHICLE STALLS. HAPPENS IN INTERSECTIONS, APPROACHING STOPS, IN SLOW RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. FUEL PUMP REPLACED, COOLANT SENSOR REPLACED, FUEL REGULATOR CHECKED. DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE, NISSAN CONTACTED. BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND OCCURS AT THE WORST TIMES-INTESECTIONS, HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO STOP. STALLS AND NO POWER!!! IT STARTS BACK UP AND SOMETIMES STALLS AGAIN REPEATEDLY FOR SEVERAL TIMES OR DAYS OR NOT FOR WEEKS. NEXT PROBLEM: ABS LIGHT COMES ON, TRACED TO BLOWN IGNITION FUSE. HAPPENED TWICE. DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHY. I HAVE MANY MORE REPAIRS, BUT THESE ARE THE SAFETY RELATED ONES. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS. THE STALLING IS THE MOST TROUBLESOME, I KNOW TWO OTHER QUEST OWNERS WHO'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT!! *AK |
