2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN QUEST, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENING AT 60MPH.(NISSAN PUT IN A RUBBER BUMPER ON THE DOOR) THE POWER DRIVERS WINDOW WONT GO BACK UP AFTER USING AUTO DOWN(NISSAN UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM) TRANSMISSION STARTS OFF IN 3RD GEAR FROM A STOP ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS.(3RD TIME WE HAVE COMPLAINED AND HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET(NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW WHY IT IS HAPPENING). *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT OCCASIONALLY COMES ON, SIGNALING THAT IT WILL NOT DEPLOY, WHILE MY WIFE IS SEATED IN IT. SHE WEIGHS 120 POUNDS. THOUGH THE SENSOR IS SUPPOSEDLY WORKING CORRECTLY - I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS AS A DESIGN FLAW. THE SENSOR USUALLY RECOGNIZES HER IN THE SEAT, BUT IF SHE SITS OFF TO THE SIDE, CROSS-LEGGED OR WITH A FOOT PROPPED UP, IT DOES NOT WORK. NISSAN USA AND OUR DEALER SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE AND WILL NOT ADJUST ANYTHING OR ALLOW THE AIRBAG TO ALWAYS DEPLOY. I ADVISED THEM OF MY WIFE'S WEIGHT AND SIZE - AND THEY SAY THE SEAT AND AIRBAG ARE FINE. A PASSENGER OF THIS WEIGHT SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE AN AIRBAG DEPLOY, REGARDLESS OF FOOT POSITION, IF THE CAR IS FLIPPING OVER OR WHETHER ONE'S BODY IS CENTRALLY LOCATED OVER THE SEAT. NISSAN DISAGREES. "PASSENGER WASN'T SITTING CORRECTLY: R.I.P. -NISSAN". *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A TIE DOWN STRAP AND BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO CRASH OR ANY TYPE OF IMPACT INVOLVED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR BURNS ON HER LEFT WRIST AND BICEP ALONG WITH BRUISES ON HER HIP. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR BURNS, CUTS, AND SCRATCHES ON HER CHEST. AS OF JULY 10, 2007, THE DEALER HAS NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 37,500.

2004 NISSAN QUEST SL VAN, PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR, CLOSING ON ITS OWN AND FAILING TO SENSE AN OBSTRUCTION (IN THIS CASE, MY CHILD). MY WIFE HAD TO PHYSICALLY THROW HERSELF AGAINST THE DOOR TO STOP IT FROM CRUSHING OUR SON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AS OF YET.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S SIDE ELECTRICAL SLIDING DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES AUTOMATICALLY. THE DOORS ON THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO OCCASIONALLY FAIL TO OPEN. THE DOOR WILL OPEN SO THAT A PASSENGER MAY ENTER THE VEHICLE, THEN THE DOOR WILL CLOSE BEFORE THEY ARE COMPLETELY INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES AND THE DEALER CHANGED THE SENSORS AND READJUSTED THE DOORS. THE DOOR CONTINUES TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE IS PART OF RECALL # 04V186000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH), BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 70,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. THE CONSUMER STATED BATTERY WEAK, DEALER REPLACED BATTERY. THE CONSUMER STATED SLOW LEAK IN TIRES, THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2ND ROW SEAT, DEALER STATED PARTS ARE ON SPECIAL ORDER. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED A COPY OF VEHICLE REPAIRS. THE WIPER BLADES WERE REPLACED. UPDATED 07/10/07 *TR

MY WIFE, WAS DRIVING OUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL THE CHARGER WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMPS CAME ON. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE SPEED TO DECREASE, AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE INTO A HEAVY TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *AK

I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. TEN MIN UTES LATER THE CAR ALARM SOUNDED FOR 15 MINUTES NISSAN IS CLAIMING FROM THE INSPECTION THAT I WAS IN A MODERATE TO SEVERE COLLISION. THIS IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE. MY DAUGHTERS CAN ATTEST TO THIS. THERE ARE SCRAPS UNDER MY CAR FROM THE LONG GRAVEL DRIVEWAY THAT I USE TO DRIVE TO A HORSE FARM. THEY ARE USING THESE SCRAPS AS EVIDENCE OF A COLLISION. THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE AIRBAG OR SEATBELT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL 2004 QUEST OWNERS.*AK

BATTERY MAIN GROUND WIRE IS STRAPPED SUPPORTED TO FRAME THEN GROUNDED AT BOLT IN TRANSMISSION. GROUND WIRE BREAKAGE OCCURRED AT TRANSMISSION GROUNDING POINT DUE TO OSCILLATION OF STIFF GROUND WIRE BEING OSCILLATED UP AND DOWN BY TRANSMISSION MOVEMENT RELATIVE TO VEHICLE FRAME. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE ABOUT 23000 MILES. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 15-17 MAR 2007. ON ARCH 15 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SHE TURNED FROM ONE ROAD ON TO ANOTHER AND HEARD A CLUNG. AS SHE DROVE ON SHE FELT THE ENGINE WAS WORKING HARD AND HEARD LOUD UNUSUAL NOISES. LOOKING DOWN, SHE SAW THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT HAD MOVED FROM DRIVE TO LOW WITHOUT HUMAN HELP. OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLUGGISH, AND WAS REPORTED IN PERSON TO THE DEALER THAT SATURDAY ON MARCH 17. I ASKED A REPRESENTATIVE TO COME AND DRIVE THE VAN ON THE SPOT TO EXPERIENCE THE SLUGGISHNESS, THE REPRESENTATIVE DECLINED. THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED SLUGGISH THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND, UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION ON MARCH 19. DURING MARCH 19 & 20 THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.*AK
