I PURCHASED A 1997 NISSAN QUEST FROM BELL HONDA AUGUST 30,2003 AT 9:30 PM. BY 1:30 PM THE NEXT DAY (16 HOURS LATER) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE BACK SUSPENSION SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS 100 YEARS OLD. THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND IT WAS MONSOON SEASON. THE SWITCH FOR POWER WINDOWS WAS NOT WORKING, I HAD A BRAKE LIGHT OUT, NO SUN VISOR, AND NO DASH LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE MY GAUGE CLUSTER AT NIGHT. ALL WITHIN 16 HOURS AND 15.5 OF THOSE HOURS IT WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY NOT EVEN BEING USED. I DROVE IT 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THEN 8 MINUTES TO THE CHURCH THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AND THEN 15 MINUTES BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE PROBLEMS. I ASKED FOR MY TRADE IN BACK AND THEY REFUSED. THEY PLACED MY QUEST IN THE SHOP AND LEFT IT THERE FOR 10 DAYS. OF WHICH 2 OF THOSE DAYS THEY DID NOT EVEN GIVE ME A LOANER CAR KNOWING THAT THE QUEST WAS MY ONLY VEHICLE FOR ME AND MY HUSBAND TO GO TO AND FROM WORK AND TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY 20 MILES AWAY. THEY CONTACTED ME AND LET ME KNOW THE CAR WAS READY AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AND WITHIN 5 SECONDS OF TURNING ON THE CAR AND DRIVING JUST A FEW FEET I KNEW THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN FIXED IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING THE SAME WAY. I ASKED THEM TO REFIX AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I THEN DEMANDED TO SEE THE OWNER AND ASKED YET AGAIN FOR MY TRADE IN BACK THIS WAS NOW THE THIRD TIME ASKING FOR IT OR MY MONEY. I MET THE OWNER SOME DAYS LATER. HE TOLD ME I COULD KEEP THE QUEST OR HE WOULD PUT ME IN A NEW CAR. HE NEVER GAVE ME A CHOICE JUST THREW ANOTHER VEHICLE AT ME AND EVEN CHARGED ME MORE MONEY TO DO IT. I HATE THE NEW VEHICLE AND WILL NOT DRIVE IT NOT TO MENTION I AM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY AS I DO NOT TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP NOR THEIR VEHICLES ANYMORE. I JUST WANT MY OLD CAR BACK OR MY MONEY AND NEVER SEE THIS DEALERSHIP AGAIN. I HOPE YOU POST THIS LOUD AND CLEAR.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND PRESSED THE GAS. IT WAS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE AND DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE RESPOND. I LOOKED AT MY GAUGES AND THE TACHOMETER WAS AT 0. I REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. I TRIED REVVING THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I MANAGED TO GUIDE MY CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO AN ENTRANCE ROAD TO A BUSINESS. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT. THE ENGINE TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT CATCH. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED A QUARTER OF A TANK AND NO LIGHT WAS ON. I CALLED MY WIFE AND SHE BROUGHT A GAS CAN. I POURED IT THE GAS. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED. I WENT TO A GAS STATION. THE CAR TOOK 19 GALLONS. THE CAPACITY WAS 20 GALLONS SO THE CAR WAS EMPTY. I HAVE BEEN MONITORING SINCE. ON A TYPICAL WEEK MY CAR IS SLIGHTLY UNDER HALF A TANK. THIS WEEK MY CAR WAS A LITTLE BIT UNDER THREE QUARTER 3/4 FULL. THE TRIP ODOMETER SHOWED I HAD GONE 174 MILES. I FILLED UP THE CAR AND IT TOOK 11.3 GALLONS. THIS INDICATE THE TANK IS ALMOST EXACTLY 1/4 OFF. I WAS VERY LUCKY WHEN THE CAR STALLED I COULD PULL OFF SAFELY. I HAVE SEEN MANY POST ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THIS YEAR CAR. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO GET THIS ADDRESSES? THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE FRONTIER AND PATHFINDER AND XTERRA ARE HAVING FOR THE SAME YEAR. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME 3.5 LITER ENGINE. ANY ONE CHECKING TO SEE IF THE QUEST HAS THE SAME FUEL PUMP/SENDER ASSEMBLY? THE SIMILARITIES ARE JUST TO OBVIOUS. *TR
