LOUD SQUEALING NOISE FROM SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS IN ENGINE. WAS TOLD IF TENSIONERS BREAK, TIMING CHAIN WOULD RELEASE INTO ENGINE AND CAUSE A HAZARD. DEALERSHIP FIXED IT- $1700 AND THE SECONDARY TENSIONERS ARE WORN AND CHEAP. THE NEW ONES ARE MUCH DIFFERENT. IF I HAD NOT HAD THE SQUEALING NOISE, THE TIMING CHAIN WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED INSIDE THE ENGINE. *TR

VEHICLE WILL BOTTOM OUT BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN UTILIZING THE MICHELIN PAX TIRE CAUSING SCRAPING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. INCREASING THE LEVEL OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BURNS A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST PIPE THAT THEN HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH AGAIN CAUSES A BOTTOMING OUT AND SCRAPING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.. *TR

2007 NISSAN QUEST BRAKE/ROTOR ISSUES. BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE WEARING RAPIDLY AT VERY LOW MILES. IT HAPPENED AT 45,000 MILES AND AGAIN EVERY YEAR SINCE. EVEN AFTER HAVING BRAKES AND ROTORS RESURFACED A FEW TIMES. CONTINUING PROBLEM. DEALER THINKS MAY BE DRIVING HABITS, BUT DEVICE PLACED ON CAR TO TRACK DRIVING BEHAVIOR BY INSURANCE COMPANY SHOWS NO HARD BRAKING. POSSIBILITY THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS SIMILAR ROTOR/BRAKE PROBLEM DUE TO WEIGHT OF VEHICLE OR IMPROPER COOLING LIKE TITAN TRUCK DID EARLY ON. A REAR END COLLISION MY WIFE HAD IN LATE 2009 MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE THIS PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM ON INTERNET VEHICLE PROBLEM SITES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED TO STORE A SPARE TIRE WHEN SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE FLAT RUNNING TIRES WITH NORMAL DESIGNED TIRES. SHE HAD TO PLACE THE SPARE TIRE BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WHICH SHE BELIEVED WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT AS A DESIGN DEFECT, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD A SPARE TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 32,000.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN QUEST I BOUGHT NEW. IT HAS REAR SONAR AS ONE OF THE OPTIONS AND DUE TO THE SIZE, SHAPE AND BLIND SPOTS IT IS NEEDED. I NOTICED WITH 35000 MILES THAT THE REAR SONAR WAS INOP- SINCE I BOUGHT IT FOR MY WIFE, I WAS UNAWARE IT WAS INOP FOR A WHILE. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 37 MOS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS IT IS NOT ONLY COMMON IN ALL YEARS OF THE QUEST BUT THE TITAN AS WELL. THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECTIVE AURAL BUZZER. WHEN YOU HAVE A FAULT SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM THE OFF LIGHT SHOULD COME ON LETTING YOU KNOW THE SYSTEM IS OFF- HOWEVER, IT ILLUMINATES SPORADICALLY AND WHAT YOU THINK IS A WORKING SYSTEM IS REALLY NOT- I HAVE TALKED WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE UNAWARE THE SYSTEM WAS OFF UNTIL THEY BACKED INTO SOMETHING CAUSING MINIMAL BUT EXPENSIVE DAMAGE. I AM AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC AND CANNOT SEE HOW THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE BUZZER- WHEN BACKING UP LOOKING BEHIND YOU AND USING YOUR MIRRORS THERE IS A HUGE BLIND AREA IN THE BACK OF THE VAN THAT IS CAUSED BY THE GRADUAL INCREASE IN THE SLOPE OF THE BODY PANELS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NISSAN USES A DEFECTIVE BUZZER THAT THEY KNOW WILL FAIL- IT IS A CHEAP FIX FOR THE DEALERS HOWEVER FOR THE CONSUMER IT WOULD COST UPWARDS OF 400 DOLLARS FOR A BUZZER THAT CAN BE PURCHASED AT RADIO SHACK FOR 5 DOLLARS. I REPLACED MINE WITH THE ORIGINAL NISSAN PART THAT COST 60 DOLLARS AND FIND IT OFFENSIVE THEY HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY FIXED A PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXISTS- IT IS SAFETY RELATED AND AS SOMEONE WHO FIXES JETS FOR A MAJOR AIRLINE, SAFETY IS FIRST AND FOREMOST ALONG WITH A RELIABLE, DEPENDABLE PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU *TR
