  THE CAR LOCKS SPONTANEOUSLY AND CONSTANTLY. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT (SERVICE BULLETIN 98068). WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER SINCE THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN (MY 2 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR IN HIS CAR SEAT OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND), I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY ARE REFUSING. *NM

  DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. WHEN I WALK TO THE OTHERSIDE TO REMOVE MY CHILDREN, THE DOORS WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK UNDER MY HAND. I HAVE HAD MY CHILDREN LOCKED IN THE VAN DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION, BUT FORTUNATELY WAS AT MY HOME. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES. FIRST THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE CARD TO REPEAT THE MALFUNCTION. I CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN AND THEN THE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED WITH NO RESOLUTION OF PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VAN BACK AND THE DRIVERS MAIN LOCK AND UNLOCK SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND STILL TO THIS DAY THE VEHICLE HAS "POSSESSED" LOCKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN ONLY NOW TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR PANEL AND GREASE THE CONTACTS WITH A WATERPROOF GREASE AS THEY BELIEVE MOISTURE MAY BE SHORTING OUT THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY CAN GIVE ME NO PROMISE THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY ON THIS PROBLEM AND I AM ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED OF LOCKING MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WITH THE QUESTS, BUT MY HUSBAND SAID HE SAW THIS ON TV AND THAT NISSAN HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO I SHOULD GET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

• 09/27/2004· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THIS VAN. VARIOUS LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHEN I TURN ON THE OPERATING LIGHTS AT NIGHT, BUT SOME WILL RANDOMLY NOT WORK. FOR EXAMPLE, THE LIGHTS ON THE HEATER WILL SOMETIMES COME ON IF I PUSH BUTTONS UP AND DOWN THE PANEL, OR TURN THE FAN OFF AND ON. SOMETIMES I CAN GET THE LIGHTS ON THE AM/FM CASSETTE TO COME ON IF I PUSH VARIOUS BUTTONS FOR THE RADIO STATIONS. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD HAVE GONE OUT COMPLETELY BY DEGREES. I CURRENTLY HAVE A DARK DASHBOARD. THESE PROBLEMS STARTED HAPPENING THE DAY I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, AND I TOOK IT BACK TO SOMERSWORTH NISSAN (IN SOMERSWORTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE) WHERE I BOUGHT IT. BUT FIRST THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN, SO I TOOK IT BACK EXACTLY WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING ONCE, AND THAT TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS, THAT IT MUST BE ELECTRICAL AND WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND FIX IT. THIS DEALERSHIP ALSO FORCED ME TO PURCHASING A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO CANCEL THE WARRANTY WITHIN THE TIME THE CONTRACT ALLOWED, THEY REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO CANCEL IT, AND SAID, SO SUE US!. THEY KNEW I WAS A SINGLE MOM, WHO WAS TRYING TO FIND A CAR THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE MY SIX CHILDREN, AND THEY KNEW I COULD NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THEM TO COURT. SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR THREE YEARS AGO FROM SOMERSWORTH NISSAN IN SOMERSWORTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE, I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF MANY ILLEGAL AND DIRTY BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH OTHERS.*AK

  MY SON RECENTLY GRADUATED TO A BOOSTER SEAT. I PURCHASED COSCO TRAVELER HIGH BACK BOOSTER. MY SON FITS ALL OF THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS BOOSTER SEAT. I INSTALLED IT PROPERLY. MY SON WAS IN THE BOOSTER SEAT. AS I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY MY SON DROPPED HIS BOOK ON THE FLOOR. HE LEANED FORWARD TO PICK IT UP FROM THE FLOOR AND THE ARM OF THE BOOSTER SEAT CAUSED THE SEAT BELT BUTTON ON THE LATCH TO DEPRESS, WHICH THUS UNBUCKLED THE SEAT BELT AND CAUSED MY SON TO FALL OUT OF HIS SEAT WHILE REACHING FOR HIS BOOT. THE SEAT BELT UNBUCKLES EVERY SINGLE TIME MY SON LEANS FORWARD AT ALL DUE TO THE "ARM" OF THE BOOSTER SEAT. IT IS MY OPINION THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE FORCE OF HIS BODY WEIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT BELT WOULD CAUSE THE SEAT BELT TO UNBUCKLE. THUS THE RESTRAINT WOULD NOT BE RESTRAINING HIM. *NM
