  ON 10/25/03 WE PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. WITHIN ONE WEEK OF PURCHASE WE NOTICE A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR. AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP THE NOISE WAS ATTENUATED BUT STILL PERSISTED. AFTER THE 2ND VISIT THE RATTLING SOUND EXPANDED TO INCLUDE A CREAKING NOISE EACH TIME WE BRAKED. ON 11/29/03 THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN SO WE PLACED OUR CHILDREN IN THE VAN USING THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER BUCKLING THE CHILDREN IN WE STARED THE VAN AND LEFT FOR HOME. AT APPROXIMATELY 11:55PM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR POPPED OPEN!!! ON 12/01/03 MY WIFE BROUGHT THE VAN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FOURTH TIME, WHERE AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO FIX THE RATTLING AGAIN AND THE DOORS WERE ADJUSTED. ON 12/02/03 THREE HOURS AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKED AGAIN AND THE AUTOMATIC DOOR WENT INTO A SPASM WHERE IT WOULD START TO CLOSE BUT THEN POP BACK OPEN. WE EVENTUALLY WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOORS BUT THE RATTLING PERSISTED. THE LOCKING AND JAMMING OF THE DOORS IS INCONSISTENT BUT THE RATTLING SOUND OCCURS WHENEVER WE GO OVER 35 MPH. WE ARE NOW SCHEDULED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR ITS 5TH VISIT TO THE SERVICE CENTER IN 5 WEEKS. THIS DOOR NOT ONLY HAS RATTLED AND SHOOK DURING THE TIME WE HAVE HAD IT, IT NOW WILL SOMETIMES NOT OPEN AND EVEN WORSE CAN POP OPEN WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS IS UNSAFE AND THE EXPERIENCE OF WATCHING MY KIDS LOOK OUTSIDE OF AN OPEN DOOR IN A MOVING CAR WAS HARROWING. I HOPE THE DOORS NEVER OPEN ON A CHILD WHO IS NOT PROPERLY BUCKLED IN.

  PURCHASED 2004 NISSAN QUEST ON 10/25/03. RATTLING SOUND FROM DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. 5 ATTEMPTS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ON 11/29/03 DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING WITH CHILDREN IN BACK SEAT.

• 12/26/2005· AIR BAGS,LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR A RECALL OF THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING SIDE DOOR. AIRBAG SENSOR IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS AT FIXING IT. SIDE DOOR NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING BUT SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN'T 'DUPLICATE' IT SO THEY SAY IT'S FINE. CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP, WILL BE FOR A TOTAL (FOR THIS TRIP) OF ALMOST 4 WEEKS, UNTIL A REP FROM NISSAN COMES TO TRY AND FIX IT. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS A MESS, LIGHTS, WINDOWS, POWER SEATS, DOORS, SEEM TO ACT ON THEIR OWN. NISSAN REFUSES TO BELIEVE ME! DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER (NON-POWER) DOOR STICKS, CAN BARELY OPEN IT MYSELF. FLAT TIRE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE DIPS. BEWARE OF AIRBAG SENSOR, TRY TO CHECK IT YOURSELF USING DIFFERENT WEIGHT PEOPLE. VERY DANGEROUS! *JB

  I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, BOTH BIG AND SMALL, WITH MY BRAND NEW NISSAN QUEST SE. I CAN ALMOST DEAL WITH THE SQEAKS, RATTLES, BROKEN BUTTONS, BROKEN LIGHTS, MALFUNCTIONING SENSORS, RADIO PROBLEMS, AND MALFUNCTIONING SLIDER DOORS, BUT THE PROBLEM I CANNOT ACCEPT IS THE FAILURE OF THE CAR TO RUN DURING DAMP OR COLD DAYS. THE CAR CRANKS AND STARTS AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, BUT WHEN IT IS PUT INTO DRIVE IT EITHER LAGS AS IF IT'S RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, OR DIES COMPLETELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASSIONS, 2 OF WHICH I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. MEANWHILE, I NEVER KNOW IF MY CAR WILL RUN ON THESE DAYS, I HAVE EVEN BEEN FORCED TO WALK DOWN THE STREET IN BELOW ZERO WINDCHILL TEMPERATURES WITH MY CHILDREN IN ORDER TO GET HELP. I PURCHASED A NEW CAR TO HAVE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND, AND INSTEAD I AM LOSING SLEEP AT NIGHT AND ASKING NISSAN TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. I WILL LIST THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ON THE FORM, BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES.*AK

  HUMMING NOISE IS EXPERIENCED WHILE THE CAR IS GOING AT A CONSTANT SPEED OR GOING UP THE HILL. THIS NOISE WAS REPORTED THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT AND THE NOISE HAS INCREASED OVER TIME. BOUGHT THE VAN BRAND NEW ON 2/29/04 AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. SINCE THEN, TAKEN THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A NORMAL CONDITION. EVEN NISSAN REP. CAME AND INSPECTED THE CAR AND MADE THE SAME COMMENT. IF IT IS A PROBLEM, IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED LIKE SO MANY OTHER THINGS ON THE VAN. *JB

• 12/20/2003· SEATS

  A SERIOUS BUT NON LIFE THREATENING INJURY OCCURRED TO THE VICTIM'S RIGHT RING FINGER, CUTTING THROUGH THE NAIL AND NEARLY SEVERING THE FINGERTIP. EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLIDE THE 2ND ROW DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FORWARD, THE SUBJECT FINGER WAS CRUSHED/CUT BY THE SEAT SUPPORT MECHANISM. THE SUBJECTS HAND WAS ON THE REQUIRED LEVER IN A NORMAL FASHION, A WAY IN WHICH NO INJURY WOULD BE EXPECTED. A DESIGN FLAW IN THE PLASTIC PROTECTIVE COVER ALLOWS FOR FINGERS TO BE IN DANGER. A SMALLER FINGER, SUCH AS A CHILD'S, MIGHT HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY SEVERED. NISSAN NEEDS TO PROVIDE A FIX TO THIS DESIGN FLAW TO AVOID FURTHER AND MORE SERIOUS INJURIES FROM OCCURRING. *LA

• 12/18/2010· POWER TRAIN

  THERE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTER/TRANSMISSION ON MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST VAN. THE PROBLEMS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE VAN WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO REVERSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME TO PULL FORCEFULLY ON THE SHIFTER TO MAKE IT SHIFT. IT DID SHIFT BUT THIS HAS CONTINUED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF DEALING WITH THIS, THE SHIFTER STARTED TO NOT ENGAGE IN THE CORRECT POSITION INDICATED ON THE DASH AND I WOULD HAVE TO PLAY AROUND WITH IT TO GET IT TO ENGAGE IN THE CORRECT GEAR (IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN DRIVE ACCORDING TO THE BASE OF THE SHIFTER, BUT WAS ACTUALLY STILL IN NEUTRAL). THERE WERE OTHER SYMPTOMS SUCH AS HAVING TO PUSH THE SHIFTER FIRMLY IN TO PARK TO REMOVE THE KEY. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND I FINALLY DISCOVERED WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING. I WENT TO SHIFT IN REVERSE ON AN INCLINE AND HAD TO VERY FORCEFULLY PULL THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE. AFTER DOING SO, THE DASH AND THE BASE OF THE SHIFTER ARE MISMATCHED BY A WHOLE GEAR. *TR

  I AM WRITING DUE TO THE FACT I TOOK MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST INTO THE SHOP TODAY BECAUSE OF A LOOSE STEERING WHEEL AND A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE. MY VAN ONLY HAS 97,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF VERY WELL. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE THE SUBFRAME IS BASICALLY ROTTING AWAY AND IS THE WORST HE HAS SEEN IN 50 YEARS OF WORK. I'VE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS ONLINE OF OTHER WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE NISSAN SHOULD HELP COVER THE COST OF MY REPAIRS DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING AND POOR QUALITY OF PARTS. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND WILL BE SHARING MY STORY WITH WHOEVER I CAN SHARE IT WITH. I WILL INCLUDE A LINK WITH A SITE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT.

THEY FOUND ROTORS RUNOUT FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR TO BE EXCESSIVE. RESURFACED FOUR ROTORS AND CHANGED BRAKE PADS. DEALER DID NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY CITING THAT IT WAS A WEAR ITEM. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE PARTS ARE NOT UP TO SPECIFICATION ESPECIALLY WITH THE FAILURE AT 4000 MILES. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM. TWO OCCURANCES WITHIN 10000 MILES IS NOT THE NORM.

THE TIRE TRACTION IS LOWEST ONE CAN GET. AFTER DRIVING 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRE STARTED SHOWING SEVERE WEAR. BUBBLE SHOWING ON THE OUTSIDE WALL. WROTE TO NISSAN 3 TIMES, THEY NEVER BOTHERED ME CONTACT ME BACK, CALLED ONCE AND TOLD ABOUT THE TIRE PROBLEM, THE ANSWER WAS WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO PUT SAME TIME I.E. GOODYEAR 225/6516. AND GOOD YEAR KNOWING THAT THEY ONLY MANUFACTURE THAT SIZE PRICED THAT TIRE IS $150+ EACH, BUT ACTUALLY IT IS WORTH $39.99. THE PROBLEM IS IT IS JUST THE MONOPOLY BETWEEN NISSAN AND GOODYEAR, THEY COULD HAVE CHOSEN DIFFERENT SIZE, WHICH WILL GIVE CONSUMER MORE CHOICE. *NM

  ON NOVEMBER 27, 2013, WHILE PARKED OUTSIDE OF MY HOME, MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST BURST INTO FLAMES. THE CAR WITHIN SECONDS WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES, AND THERE WAS NOTHING ANYONE COULD DO BUT GET AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS POSSIBLE AND HOPE THERE WOULD BE NO INJURIES OR FATALITIES. THE CAR IS TOTALED, AND I NEED ANSWERS AS TO HOW A CAR THAT IS PARKED ALL OF A SUDDEN BURSTS INTO FLAMES. I BELIEVE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST CUT OFF ON ME AT A STOP SIGN ON OCTOBER 31, 2013. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I COULD SMELL ANTIFREEZE. I HAD IT TOWED TO COWLS NISSAN THAT EVENING. WHEN I GOT TO COWLS NISSAN THEY WERE ABOUT TO CLOSE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO RENT A CAR FROM THEM WHILE MINE WOULD BE GETTING LOOKED AT AND HOPEFULLY FIXED THE NEXT DAY. THE NEXT DAY A REPRESENTATIVE FROM COWLS NISSAN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE REAR COOLANT PUMP NEEDED FIXING AND THAT'?S WHY THE CAR CUT OFF AND WOULDN'?T START. THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND REFILLED IT WITH ANTIFREEZE. I HAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS FIXED BECAUSE THEY SAID AS THEY DID A COURTESY MULTIPOINT INSPECTION THE WIPERS WEREN'?T WORKING BECAUSE OF A WIPER LINK ISSUE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR I NOTICED ON THE RECEIPT THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK ISSUE AND AIR FILTER ISSUE THAT WAS DISCOVERED IN THE MULTIPOINT INSPECTION. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS NOISY AT STARTUP AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED FURTHER TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. AT NO TIME WAS I TOLD THAT THE CAR WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. ON NOVEMBER 10, 2013 I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE CAR, OFF AND ON, AND THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO FIX THE HEADLIGHT ON 11/22/2013, BUT I WASN'T HEARING THE HUMMING SOUND THEN.

I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND FOUND THAT MY PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR RAIL COVER SIDING PIECE (~4FT BY 8 INCHES) HAD NEARLY COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE CAR EXCEPT FOR BENT BACK BRACKET. I COULD NOT REMOVE (PIECE WEDGE INTO TAIL LIGHT) SO I PUSHED IT IN AS BEST AS POSSIBLE AND DROVE 20 MILES HOME. THE PIECE FELL OFF COMPLETELY IN DRIVEWAY WHEN I OPENED PASSENGER DOOR. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THE PIECE DID NOT DETACH COMPLETELY AND HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH. I GOOGLED AND FOUND 2 OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAFETY/DESIGN PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH 2004 QUEST. OTHER THAN THE SINGLE BENT BRACKET AND A BIT OF CHIPPED PAINT ON THE EDGE THAT HAS WEDGED UNDER THE TAIL LIGHT--THIS PIECE AND MY CAR SHOW NO OTHER SIGNS OF DAMAGE.

FOR A VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT, I BELIEVE RUST IN THIS LOCATION IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN MY DEALER SAID HE WOULD NOT COVER FIXING THE RUST, I TOOK THE VAN TO A BODY SHOP, AND THE OWNER WAS SO APPALLED BY THE RUST, THAT HE CALLED A DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALER, WHO AGREED AND RECOMMENDED WE FILE A CLAIM TO NISSAN'S CLAIM OFFICE.

  I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE 2004 NISSAN QUEST. I HAVE HAD TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE I BOUGHT IT WITH 12 MILES IN SEPTEMBER 2004. I THOUGHT THAT THE NISSAN NAME WOULD BE AS GOOD AS THE TOYOTAS THAT I HAVE BOUGHT, WHICH HAVE LASTED WITHOUT TRIPS TO THE DEALER EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. THIS COMPLAINT IS BASED ON HAVING TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTOR AT 29,000 MILES; IT WAS JUST THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK. ONCE I LOOKED INTO THE COMPLAINTS LISTED, I REALIZED THAT THIS COULD BE A DESIGN FLAW. WHEN I INQUIRED OF THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE BRAKES WEARING SO QUICKLY, HE STATED IT IS A HEAVY VEHICLE AND IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU DRIVE. HE STATED THAT SOME PEOPLE'S BRAKES ON THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL WEAR OUT EVEN SOONER, AS IF THIS WAS SOME CONSOLATION TO ME. WELL, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 19 YEARS, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAND NEW VEHICLE NOT ONLY WEAR THROUGH BRAKE PADS SO QUICKLY, BUT RIGHT TO THE ROTORS WITHOUT WARNING!! THAT'S WHAT INFURIATES ME THE MOST; ONCE I HEAR A SIGN THAT THE BRAKE PADS ARE THINNING, I GET THE BRAKES REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I AM AWARE THAT IF THEY ARE WORN TO THE ROTORS, THEN THE REPAIR COSTS THREE TIMES AS MUCH. *NM

  THE GAS GAUGE IS DISPLAYING INACCURATE INFO. EVEN IF I FILL IT TO THE TOP, IT STILL DISPLAYS EITHER EMPTY OR HALF FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

  ON NOVEMBER 9, 2008 A FRIEND OF MY DAUGHTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST HER MID ROW PASSENGER SEAT FORWARD AND HER LEFT MIDDLE FINGER WAS CRUSHED BY THE MECHANISM FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT OUT BY PUTTING THE SEAT BACK IN THE ORIGINAL POSITION. SHE WAS RUSHED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE AN XRAY WAS PERFORMED AND SHE HAS A BROKEN BONE AT THE FINGER TIP ALONG WITH A MUTILATED FINGER AND NAIL. THIS WAS VERY TRAUMATIC AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE OWNED MY NISSAN QUEST FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS, I WAS SHOCKED AT THE FIX THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE DONE. IT DOES NOT COVER THE MECHANISM ON THE HANDLE SIDE - ONLY THE REAR. THE IS AN EXTREMELY POOR REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT THIS HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE NOW. *TR
