1995 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

FUEL LINES TO FUEL INJECTORS DETERIORATE, LEAK RAW GASOLINE ONTO MOTOR, STRONG GAS ODOR IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCESS FOR DYERS - NOT COVERED IN REPAIR MANUALS 'HOW-TO'. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE NOSE OF THE CRANK SHAFT BROKE OFF THE ENGINE WITH OUT WARNING. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY PRESSING THE BRAKES AND PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK. BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN A BLOCK FROM HOME THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED HOME. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT'S FATHER DISCOVERED THE CRANK SHAFT NOSE BROKE. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *AK

I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RIGHT WHEEL CYLINDER IN MY 95 NISSAN QUEST FOR THE 2ND TIME IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST TIME I FIXED IT THAT IT WOULD BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I WOULD EVER HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN, WELL NOW IT IS LESS THAN 3 YRS LATER AND I AM HAVING TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY IT CAME OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS STILL IN PARK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE SLIPPED TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE SERVICE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. BUT THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD CHECK INTO THE MATTER.*AK

THE CRANKSHAFT BROKE OFF DUE TO A STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE SHAFT. I SPENT THE NEXT 22 DAYS TRYING TO GET NISSAN TO REPLACE THE CRANK AND REPAIR THE 1995 QUEST VAN. NISSAN BEGAN INSTALLING LARGER CRANKSHAFTS IN THEIR 1996 MODELS BUT THEY NEVER OFFERED TO HELP WITH THE REPAIRS. I HAVE A SMALL CLAIMS COURT HEARING OCT 11 AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW OF ALL THE SIMILAR CASES THAT HAVE BEEN FILED TO DATE. AFTER 22 DAYS I HAD THE VAN REPAIRED AT MY MECHANICS SHOP AT THE COST OF $3371.00 I STILL HAVE THE CRANK. *NM

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING VEHILCE GAS SMELL WAS PRESENT, EACH TIME VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR COMPLAINT DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DENOTE GAS SMELL. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED MAY 1998. THE RECALLED ON THE VEHICLE WAS IN 1996. I AM THE SECOND PURCHASER AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE STARTED LOSING POWER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS GOING OUT ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD BE EXPENSE TO REPAIR. I WAS ADVISE TO REPLACE WHEN IT WHEN COMPLETELY OUT. ON NOVEMBER 2004 WHILE DRIVING ALONE THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND HAD TO TOW TO A GARAGE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CRANK SHAFT OF THE VEHICLE HAS DISSENTRATED . I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WAS A LIFETIME PART AND A FACTORY RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IN 1996. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED A ADVISED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY WOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THEY REPAIRED THE VENT HOSE THAT HAD BEEN IINSTALLED INCORRECTLY AND REFUSED TO REPAIR THE CRANK SHAFT PROBLEM. THE ESTIMATE FROM NISSIAN WAS $4000.00. I STILL OWE $10,00.00 ON THIS VEHILE.

I HAVE A NISSAN 1995 QUEST. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO LAKE TAHOE, CA, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE LOST POWER, AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEELING WHEEL AND BREAK. THE CAR ALMOST FELL OFF THE CLIFF. I SENT MY VAN TO AN AUTO PEPAIR SHOP RIGHT AFTER I ARRIVED IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VAN, AND I DROVE THE VAN BACK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I HEARD MY FRIEND MENTIONED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT WHEN I CALL NISSAN, THEY DENIED ANY COMPLIANTS LIKE THIS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND GET BACK TO ME. THANKS.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AT 70 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING, ENGINE QUIT ENTIRELY. HAD TO WEAVE IN TRAFFIC TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES AND COAST TO THE MEDIAN. AFTER RESTING 15 MINUTES, ENGINE WOULD RESTART. TRAVELED AND ADDITIONAL 1-1/2 HOURS AND SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER RESTART, TRAVELED FOR AN ADDITIONAL HOUR WITHOUT INCIDENT. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE THE VEHICLE QUIT AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. FROM REVIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON YOU WEB SITE, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS DANGER TO THE OWNERS. *JB

CONSUMER'S 4 1/2 YEAR OLD SON WAS ABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR, CONDITION WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARD AND HIT THE GARAGE DOOR. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *LA
