Hello Maui77 and others with this fuel issue-
Is there somewhere on the internet that I can get a copy of this service bulletin, because I also am experiencing this same issue with my 2011 Quest, however, only one of the times was the vehicle parked on a downward incline... in this downward incline experience, the manual gauge showed 1/4 tank, the "miles until empty" display read 85 miles, however the van would not start until we added 2 more gallons of gas. In the other two instances, I was parked on level ground, and the manual gauge did read lower, probably around 1/8 tank remaining, "miles until empty" read around 45 miles, and again, van wouldn't start until we added more gas. I took the van to dealership where purchased (Hudson Nissan, N. Charleston, SC), and basically was left feeling as if the technician thought I was imagining my problem. This third occurrence happened yesterday, and I would like to have the service bulletin in hand when taking the van this time (along with copy of this thread!) My intuition is telling me that the engine is relying on some kind of computerized signal that tells it whether or not to start based on how much fuel it "thinks" is in the tank... perhaps there truly is enough fuel, and the calibration of this sensor just isn't correct... Oh for the days of the mechanical automobile!

Yeah..you have the same thing I had. I had mine repaired and have had no problems since. I have not been able to find a printable version of the entire bulletin online (5 pages), but have found the reference information and summary description. You should be able to show this to the service advisor and he can find it on the Nissan Service database. If you still get the "trainee salute" from the service guy, you need to find another dealership.

#74 of 111 power sliding doors by an125

Oct 25, 2011 (7:47 am)

Hello, Does anybody know whether the van needs to be in Parked position to operate the power sliding doors? In the owners manual it says the doors can be operated if it meets one of the criteria.
 
When the ignition switch is in the β€œON” position,the system can be operated in the above and one of the following conditions.
 . Selector lever is set in the β€œP” (Park) position.
 . Brake pedal is depressed.
 . Parking brake is applied.
 
However, I am unable to open the doors when it is Drive position , even if both Brakes are depressed. Are there any settings to make this work?
Any inputs are appreciated.

On the "old" one you always had to have it in Park...which you might as well do if you have the brake applied or Parking brake on.
 
Unless you're trying to open it as you're braking; i think it needs to be a complete stop...no pushing the kids out while you roll by

On the 'old' Quest we found the Yokohama AVID to have very good wet characteristics.
 
The only thing...we need a tire replacement after 40k miles which is half the 80k rating. Luckily Discount Tire will prorate the difference.

I have Michelin Primacy on my 2004. Great tires! but expensive. Michelin has the $70 gift card with 4 tires promotion going on right now.

#79 of 111 So how do you like your new Quest? by patnic

I still have my 2003 Odyssey and waiting for it to go...
 
How do you like your 2011/2012 Quest? Besides the low gas/hill problem, any other problems? Favorite aspect of the Quest?

We ave our '11 LE since Apr 1 (10,5kmi - $36,600 plus TTT), Car drive great for the most part
- Gets about 22/24 on hwy vs 25/27 of my 04 SL. I think the CVT burns more fuel.
- Interior is great
- Ride is smotth, but I think the cr slides more in the wet. I have the OEM Toyo tires and am thinking about Michelin or Perilli tires.
- I don't like the placement of the sliding door buttons. They are to the left of the steering wheel so only drive can access.
- DVD in dash is better than under the passenger seat (04).
- We got the Black Amythest (wife's favorite color). I see they discontinued for the 2012. We got a fantastic price (severl dealrs offred $38 with sunroof), I think they wanted to sell their first Quest for '11. We wanted one before new cars from potentially irradiated factoreis.

A CVT is supposed to give better mileage.
 
27 is very good for the 04 since it's rated only for 24 on the highway.
 
The EPA shows 04 vs 11 as
17/24 vs 19/24
 
so it should be pretty much the same...more or less...
 
how did you manage $36.6k for an LE when the invoice is 38.6k...especially in April? Edmunds shows $40k for the TMV.
