2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN QUEST I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ROTORS ABOUT EVERY 5,000 MILES BECAUSE THEY WARP AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL BEARINGS. IT SEEMS THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE TO SMALL FOR THE VEHICLE. I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING THE ROTORS AND BRAKES IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I CONTACTED NISSAN BUT THEY WONT DO ANYTHING, THERE ARE REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

TRANSMISSION HELD CAR TO 20MHP THEN AFTER SHIFTING BACK AND FORT IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. ENGINE DIES HERE AND THERE, WHEN BREAK PEDAL IS PRESSED CAR STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. THIS ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER TOOK THIS CAR MANY TIME AND THEY TELL ME. THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE NOISE. RESEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR AND MOST OF THEM SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION BRAIN IS FAULTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. THE POWER SLIDING DOOR WOULD OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. ALSO THE DOOR WOULD NOT FULLY CLOSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPAIRS MADE TO THE DOOR MECHANISM. HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY BECAUSE HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V186000(LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 63,000.

MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST SE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND WAS TOTALED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACTING STRANGE AND 5 DAYS PRIOR TO THE FIRE WAS THE LAST DAY I DROVE IT. IT WOULD NOT CRANK AFTER I PUT IT IN THE GARAGE AND SO I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER THE NEXT WEEK. IT WAS NOT TOUCHED AFTER THAT DAY UNTIL WE WERE AWOKE BY OUR SMOKE ALARMS. WE OPENED OUR GARAGE DOOR AS IT WAS THE NEAREST EXIT ONLY TO REALIZE THE FIRE WAS IN THE GARAGE. WHEN WE WENT OUTSIDE AROUND TO THE GARAGE WE SAW THAT THE FIRE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VAN OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. *TR

THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE CHANGED AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A YEAR, AND ROTORS HAD TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE THEY WERE ABOUT A 1/2 IN. GONE. STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE EVERY TIME I HAD TO BRAKE. BRAKES NEVER STOP SQUEAKING. FINALLY HAD TO PUT NEW CALIPERS IN ABOUT A WEEK AGO I FINALLY THOUGHT MY BRAKES WOULD BE WORKING FINE AGAIN. WORKED GOOD FOR ONE DAY, SQUEAKING CAME BACK EVERY TIME I BRAKE, STILL HEAR SCRAPPING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR. WHEN IT RAINS FROM FRONT WINDOW LEAKS INTO THE GLASSES HOLDER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. YESTERDAY THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR HAS A HOOK AT THE BACK OF THE DOOR WHEN IT CLOSES IT HOOKS TO IT ALSO, THE PIECE FELL INTO THE DOOR NOW THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE RIGHT. THE SENSOR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN SO NOW THE BOTTOM LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS WAS THE WORSE PURCHASE I MAY HAVE DONE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ITS BEEN PROBLEMS KNOW WONDER THEY ONLY GAVE A 3 YEAR WARRANTY ON IT. SOMETIMES I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE AND IT FAILS TO TAKE OFF, SO I HAVE TO PUT TURN IT OFF WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN TRY IT AGAIN. SO WHAT IS NEXT TO FAIL? EVEN THE BACK PANEL THAT COVERS THE LIGHTS NEAR THE LICENSE PLATE FELL OFF. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM I WORRY ABOUT IS THE BRAKES BECAUSE I HAVE 5 KIDS I REALLY THINK THIS IS A DEFECT ON THIS CAR AND FROM WHAT I READ I AM NOT ALONE ON THE BRAKE ISSUE. I REALLY THINK THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BRAKES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURRENCES, WHEN THE CONSUMER PRESSED THE KEY FOB TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR, IT WOULD MALFUNCTION AND CLOSE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE PASSENGERS WERE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. DURING THE 4TH MALFUNCTION OF THE DOOR, THE CONSUMER WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE BENDING OVER THE PASSENGER CAR SEAT , WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE HEARD A BALL BEARING FALL INSIDE THE WALL OF THE VAN AND ROLLED ONE HALF INCH AND THEN THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE. THE DOOR HIT THE CONSUMER ON HER LEFT HIP AND ADVANCED HER PELVIS TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED CLOSING UNTIL HER BACK RIGHT UPPER THIGH MADE CONTACT WITH THE D-RING IN THE DOOR FRAME. THE DOOR CONTINUED TO CLOSE PRESSING HER THIGH EVEN MORE. THE DOOR MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN BY NOT SENSING THE CONSUMER'S PRESENCE IN THE DOOR JAMB AND AUTOMATICALLY RETRACTED THE DOOR. THE CONSUMER PLACED HER LEFT SHOULDER ON THE DOOR AND PUSHED AS HARD AS SHE COULD UNTIL THE DOOR RETRACTED IN MANUAL MODE. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED A BRUISE TO HER SKIN AND MUSCLE OF THE BACK OH HER RIGHT UPPER THIGH. UPDATED 08/11/09.*JB

MY VAN HAD THE RED KEY WARNING LIGHT GO ON AND SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL BURNING. I HAD IT TOWED IMMEDIATELY TO A NISSAN DEALER KELLY NISSAN LYNNFIELD MA. THEY DID CHECK THE BULLETINS UNTIL AFTER TEST DRIVING IT TWICE AND BURNING OUT THE IGNITION COILS THEY JUST REPLACED AND BURNED OUT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER (THEY PUT A NEW ONE ON WITHOUT REPORTING IT) THEY WERE ADVISED IN WRITING NOT TO DO ANY WORK EXCEPT REPLACE THE COILS THEY SAID THEY BURNED OUT AND ONLY THEN AT NO COST TO ME. THEY REPLACED MORE THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN, CHARGED ME AND WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT AND RUINED THE CONVERTER IT SUCKED UP DEBRIS INTO THE ENGINE AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE. CALLED CORPORATE NISSAN WHO SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ( AFTER THEY GAVE A 300.00 COUPON BECAUSE OF THE DECEPTION PRIOR TO FINDING OUT ABOUT THE DAMAGED ENGINE). IT ALL STARTED FROM A LOOSE GROUND WIRE THAT CAUSED THE COILS TO OVERWORK AND BURNED OUT. I ENDED UP PAYING ABOUT $900 FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THE MISDIAGNOSED AND DAMAGED PARTS, NOW THE ENGINE IS ESTIMATED AT 6800. TO REPLACE. I M DISABLED AND BARELY ABLE TO AFFORD THE ROOF OVER MY HEAD AND FOOD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR, NISS SAYS THE DEALERS ARE INDEPENDANTLY OWNED, YET THEY L HAVE THE SAME MAKER. I KEPT THE COILS THEY PUT IN HOWEVER THEY REMOVED A BOX WITH THE FIRST REPLACED ONES AND DID TO PUT THEM ALL BACK FOR ME AS INSTRUCTED. I HAVE TWO TECHNICIANS ONE A NISSAN TECH WHO SAYS IT IS DIRECTLY DUE TO KELLY NISSAN'S MISDIAGNOSIS AND DRIVING OF THE CAR TO THE POINT OF BURNING UP THE PARTS. WHAT DOES A CONSUMER NEED TO DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES? THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. ALL PARTS EXCEPT THE CONVERTER THEY ALSO KEPT AND THE INITIAL COILS I HAVE. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP I USED AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY FROM FIRST TIME DRIVEN STILL IN DEALER LOT, THEY COULD TO FIND PROBLEM ALTHOUGH HEARD SOUND FROM ENGINE AND READ THE MISFIRE CODES UNTIL SECOND LOOK AFTER IT STARTED POURING SMOKE OUT THE EXHAUST AND SOUND BECAME SO BAD AND CAR WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
