Engine quit entirely when traveling at 77 mph on interstate.was able to coast into rest area. Was towed to Nissan dealer in tallahassee, fl and the fuel pump was replaced. This was not reported at the time to ntsa. I am reporting this now because I now know the problem is wide spread. My son in law bought a Quest the same time and he has had 4 failures.2 occured last week. We now find out his sister owns a Quest and she has had a failure. It appears the failure occurs at high speeds in hot driving conditions. My concern now is it will happen again if the problem still exists. I have not duplicated those conditions I just described since my incident, but my son in law has. He lives in ca.

We have had three separate incidents when either climbing a mountain or driving through hot dessert conditions that our minivan would suddenly stop! the aaa worker told us that he sees this "all the time" and has to do "weak fuel pumps" in minivans that fail when stressed! our last incident was dangerous occurring on hwy 40 to be repeatedly stuck with high speed trucks passing by us. Our Nissan dealer checked his record (a few months back)and confirmed that Nissan was aware of this problem but said that it would cost us >$700 to fix to change the fule pump. The latest Nissan recall of the fuel hose may also have something to do with this issue. Well we found out the hard way in the hot dessert since this problem does not surface driving in the "cooler" los angeles area.

The problem with fuel pump wiring inside of fuel tank. The problem started about a year ago with the fuel pump's performance, such as humming sound from tank section or no pump start up at starting the engine. But last day of March of this year I was not able to start the car at all due to complete pump failure. I consider my self as very good mechanic as far as car is concern. When I open the fuel pump assembly, I discovered two electrcal wires, red(+) and black(-), were tangled each other. Due to friction of two wires together, red wire's insulation were may be two paper-thin leftbof bare copper wire. Black wire were even thinner than red's where I can almost see the bare wires. I could only imagine what could hapen with electrical short inside the fuel tank. I replaced the fuel pump with original factory part with different rearrangement of electrical wires. I was very lucky to find the problem earlier. You may call me at work or E-mail me.

Nissan has service bulletin for cavitation in fuel pump, causing failure. We were stopped in slow lane on 4 lane bridge with vehicles traveling at high speed. Requested manufacturer to replace fuel pump. They only offered 50%. my entire family (incl. Myself) was placed in danger. This service bulletin needs to be a recall.
