  EVER SINCE I PURCHASE MY NISSAN QUEST 2008 LAST YEAR ON OCTOBER 26, 2013. MY CD DOESN'T WORK. IT KEEPS EJECTING THE CD OUT AND NO MUSIC, I MIGHT SAY. ALSO, EVERYTIME I TURN ON MY VAN, THE RADIO WORKS, THEN IN A FEW MINUTES IT BLOWS OUT THE MUSIC. THEN A BUZZING SOUNDS STARTS TO HAPPEN. THE PASSENGER WINDOW DOESN'T GO UP ALL THE WAY. AS I PRESS THE BUTTON TO GO UP, THE WINDOW COMES DOWN HALF WAY. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PRESS THE WINDOW BUTTON. LITTLE BY LITTLE SO THE WINDOW CAN CLOSE. MY AIR CONDITIONER TAKES FOREVER TO GET COOL. INSTEAD OF COOL AIR, IT BLOWS WARM AIR. I AM VERY UPSET, BECAUSE I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS NISSAN QUEST. I HAVE ALL THE CAR FAX, GIVEN TO ME BY THE CAR DEALER AND IT SAYS THE CAR HAS NO PROBLEMS AND ITS IN COMPLETE GREAT CONDITIONS. AND THAT IT HAD ONLY ONE RECALL REPORTED BY THE SECOND OWNER.ON MARCH 3, 2010 THE MANUFACTURER RECALL WAS #PC039 ARM?TTN BRAKE PIN NTB10-030 AND THEY REPAIRED IT FOR FREE TO THAT OWNER.

  I backed out of driveway towards the south to head north on public way. Vehicle immediately started accelerating backwards (south) without assistance, quickly getting out of control. No amount of pressure on my part would make the brakes work and there was no control of the steering. The vehicle was no longer under my control and crashed backwards into a large tree which held it from crashing farther, and a small tree on the side which held it from rolling down into a brook. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request and I would prefer that it be inspected. No vehicles or pedestrians were in the street when the vehicle lost all control without human assistance. The passenger is front passenger seat was taken to ER and has since been seeing a doctor. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or other service center. The police were at scene of accident right after it occurred. No lights, messages, or other symptoms gave any warning before the vehicle started racing and immediately went out of control with no control over speed, brakes or steering The consumer provided photos and police report.

  THE BRAKE, ABS, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS SHOWING ON THE DASH AND WILL NOT GO OUT. I JUST HAD BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THE VEHICLE AT FIRST WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START VEHICLE. NOW THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND IT HESITATES ON ACCELERATION.

• 09/19/2019· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES THE CAR ACCELERATES. I HAVE HAD A DATA RECORDER ATTACHED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT DIDN'T RECORD ANYTHING.-- THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY---, WHILE IN SLOW TRAFFIC AS I PUMP THE BRAKES. SPECIFICALLY : THE RPM ACTUALLY INCREASED AS THE CAR MADE THE ABS GRINDING SOUND AND INCREASED THE VELOCITY OF THE CAR. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SERVICE AGENT STATES THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY REPAIR WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT PRESSING THE BRAKE WILL NOT MAKE THE CAR STOP; BUT THEY ADMIT THAT PRESSING THE BRAKE COULD ACCELERATE THE VELOCITY OF THE CAR. I HAVE DUPLICATED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER MECHANIC FOREMAN AT UNIVERSAL CITY NISSAN IN CALIFORNIA BUT HE NO LONGER WORKS AT THIS DEALER.

  INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE - MY WIFE'S NISSAN QUEST 2008 CAME TO A COMPLETE STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING 70 MILES LEFT TO EMPTY. THE REGULAR DASHBOARD GAUGE, ALSO SHOWED SOME LEVEL OF GAS. IN REALITY, THE TANK HAD NO GAS AT ALL. WE CONFIRMED THAT WHEN, AFTER SOME PEOPLE'S HELP, WE WERE ABLE TO MANUALLY PUT SOME GAS TO ARRIVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR WITH THE KIDS AND IT WAS A SCARY MOMENT, TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED (UNNOTICED THE REASON THE FIRST TIME). CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THEY VALIDATED THAT THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS WITH 66 MILES LEFT TO EMPTY ON THE DISPLAY. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A DEFECT NOR DECIDED TO INCLUDE THE CAR UNDER THE RECALLS THEY HAD FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I UPFRONT THE COST OF FIXING THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS YOU CANNOT RELY ON THE INSTRUMENTS TO READ LEVELS OF GAS AND THE CAR CAN STALL AT HIGHER SPEEDS, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT INJURIES. *TR

• 07/23/2010· STRUCTURE

  WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, THE RIGHT SIDE RAIL COVER FELL OFF DURING THE IMPACT FROM DRIVING OVER A POT HOLE. IT WAS DETERMINED BY MY OWN REPAIR FACILITY THAT IT WAS MISSING THE ONLY SCREW WHICH HOLDS THE RAIL COVER, ALONG WITH 5-6 PRONGS. THIS SCREW BELONGS ON A METAL PIECE LOCATED BEHIND THE TAIL LIGHT. THE LOST RAIL COVER WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SCREW. IF SCREW WAS THERE, PART WOULD OF HUNG ON. IF RAIL COVER HAD THE SCREW, ON HIGH SPEED, IT WOULD OF BENT THE METAL PART INSIDE AND MOST LIKELY BROKEN THE TAIL LIGHT. THE RAIL COVER PART THAT FELL COULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES, HURT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OR PEDESTRIANS. *TR

• 07/18/2013· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  ON JUNE 26TH 2013 THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THERE WAS A CORRESPONDING STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE COAST OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND THE FAMILY WAS ABLE TO EXIT SAFELY. NO FIRE STARTED BUT CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. CAR WAS TOWED TO NISSAN WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS THE GROUND BATTERY CABLE BEING PULLED OFF THE TRANSMISSION MOUNTING POINT. THE BATTERY CABLE WAS REPLACED WITH A MODIFIED DESIGN THAT PREVENTS THIS FROM OCCURRING, THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE GROUND WIRE BREAKING WAS $2,871 WHICH INCLUDED THE GROUND WIRE, 6 IGNITION COILS, ECM, IPDM AND LABOR. THERE IS A TSB NTB06-075 FOR QUEST MODELS 2004-2007, HOWEVER THE 2008 HAD THE SAME DESIGN AS INDICATED IN THE TSB. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AT ST CHARLES NISSAN AS RECENTLY AS 6 WEEKS EARLIER AND THE 27-POINT NISSAN INSPECTION HAD BEEN PERFORMED WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO INCLUDED THE BATTERY CABLE. NO ISSUES WERE FOUND WITH THE BATTERY CABLE SO EITHER THE INSPECTION WAS NOT THOROUGH OR THERE WAS CATASTROPHIC WIRE FAILURE CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE DRIVETRAIN MOVEMENT. THE VEHICLE SMELLED LIKE IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHICH IT UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT. LOSING ALL POWER INSTANTANEOUSLY WITHOUT ANY PRIOR SYMPTOMS OR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS IS CONCERNING FOR THIS COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION OR WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFELY ABLE TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES. THE DAMAGED PARTS HAVE BEEN RETAINED IN CASE NHTSA WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT. *TR

  WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON AND THE CAR IN DRIVE, BUT STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED UP TO ABOUT 6000 RPM. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, IN A PARKING LOT. I THOUGHT PERHAPS I HAD INADVERTENTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. TWO DAYS AGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT HALF A MILE, STOPPED THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND WHEN I STARTED AGAIN THE ENGINE RACED ONCE IT WAS PUT IN GEAR. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN ON 3 TIMES FOR IT TO COME BACK TO NORMAL. YESTERDAY I DROVE ABOUT ONE MILE TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND WHILE I WAS STOPPED WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE THE CAR STARTED TO REV HIGH AND MOVE INTO THE INTERSECTION UNTIL I MOVED IT OUT OF DRIVE. I HAD TO SHUT OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO RETURN TO NORMAL. ABOUT 15 OR 20 MORE MILES OF DRIVING AND A HALF DOZEN STOPS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS LEAVING A PARKING SPACE. WHEN I GOT HOME I CONNECTED MY CODE READER, THERE WERE NO CODES. IT IS NOW AT MY MECHANIC, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED FOR THEM YET.

  I bought my van in March of this year (2026) and the fuel gauge will either show that the tank is almost empty (gas light on) or full. Sometimes it will show an accurate gas reading and other times it shows the gas tank is full. I am going to a dealership in the morning to see about getting it fixed under the recall or getting quoted to have it fixed. This is the only vehicle I own and I have to travel with my kids so I cannot ride around with a fuel can inside due to the fumes. I worry about running out of gas with my children in the car.

NO INDICATION OF IMPACT TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELTS ALSO HAVE LOCKED UP AS THOUGH THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS TO BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS. OUR CONCERN IS PRIMARILY THAT IF THIS IS A POTENTIAL DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM THAT IT COULD BE MUCH MORE SERIOUS FOR SOMEONE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET OR FREEWAY. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED ON A CITY STREET WHEN NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR. IF THE NHTSA WANTS TO INVESTIGATE WE NEED TO KNOW SOON.

  THIS IS FOR A 2008 NISSAN QUEST, BUT THE COMPLAIN IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING HOME, AND AS SOON AS I ENTER THE GARAGE AND GET OFF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS. I KNEE DOWN AND SAW THAT THERE IS A STREAM OF LIQUID COMING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, IMMEDIATELY, I PUT THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE AND PARK IN THE STREET INSTEAD, CALL NISSAN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HELP TO CALL 911 TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT COME OUT AND PUT A TEMP FIX TO STOP THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOW TO CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. BASED ON WHAT I READ FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK, IN THE EVENT THAT A VEHICLE FRONT TIRE RUNS OVER A SMALL, SHARP OBJECT IN THE ROAD, CATCHES IT AND PROPELS IT TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT MAY STRIKE AND PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK, AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN. THE FUEL TANK IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS EXPOSE OUTSIDE WITHOUT ANY SHIELD PROTECTION FROM THE FRONT WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE NISSAN MURANO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN RECALL TO PUT A SHIELD FOR MURANO AND NOT THE QUEST.

• 01/10/2020· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS AN INCORRECT READING. THE INDICATOR SHOWS THAT IT IS EMPTY EVEN WHEN I REFUEL IT WITH FULL TANK. THE CAR STOPS ON THE ROAD AS THE FUEL SHOWS AN INCORRECT READING WHICH POSES A DANGEROUS THREAT. I HAVE GOT THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED THREE TIMES. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY AND NOT GETTING THE ISSUE FIXED. THE CAR ALSO FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2007-2008-2009 NISSAN QUESTS' BUT MY 2008 NISSAN QUEST IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!
