2000 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

ELECTRICAL WIRING: HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS. FIRST THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. PRESSING ON THE CONNECTOR WOULD MAKE IT WORK. I DISASSEMBLED CONNECTOR/WIRING AND REASSEMBLED IT. IT HAS BEEN WORKING. NEXT THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. PRESSING ON THE CONNECTOR WILL MAKE IT WORK. WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ANOTHER DRIVER INFORMED HER THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS WHERE OUT. NO BLOWN FUSES, BURNT WIRES OR CONNECTORS FOUND. WILL TRY TO CORRECT TODAY. IN ADDITION I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE RADIO DISPLAY WHICH WENT OUT ONE WEEK AFTER WARRANTY. DEALER WILL NOT COVER RADIO.

YOUR CLOSED DEFECT INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER STATED THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE BULB THAT WAS USED UNTIL JULY OF 1999. AFTER BOTH MY HEADLIGHT BULBS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY IN THE SUMMER OF 2004, MY MECHANIC REPLACED NOT ONLY THE BULBS, BUT THE CONNECTORS TOO. GUESS WHAT? MY HEADLIGHT BULB JUST MELTED IT'S CONNECTOR AGAIN...IN 2005... USING THE "CORRECTED" BULB INDICATED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. WHY ISN'T NISSAN AND FORD AND THEIR SUPPLIER CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM? IT IS HARD TO GO ON A TRIP OR WORK AT NIGHT WHEN MY OTHER LIGHT MAY GO OUT BEFORE THE OTHER IS FIXED. IT ALSO COST ABOUT $100 TO FIX. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING THE LEFT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE DOOR BY CALLING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THEN, DROVE IT TO THE DEALER, AND THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. *AK *SC *JB

THE HEAD LIGHT BULBS DID NOT WORK UNLESS THE HARNESS WAS ADJUSTED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED FREQUENTLY. *JB *SC

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY TO THE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD FAILED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE SRS AIR LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER DROVE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THE RADIO DISPLAY WOULD GO INTERMITTENT, DISPLAYING RADIO INFO ONLY PART OF THE TIME. CONTINUAL DEGRADATION IN THE WEEKS TO FOLLOW. THE RADIO DISPLAY PERMANTLY DOES NOT DISPLAY RADIO INFO ALTHOUGH ALL RADIO FUNCTIONS WORK.*AK NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT SINCE IT STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED.

BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS JUST STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. MY MECHANIC STATED THE CONNECTORS MELTED. WHEN HE TRIED TO OBTAIN THEM FROM NISSAN, HE WAS TOLD THEY NO LONGER ARE AVAILABLE! THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE IF THEY HAVE STOPPED SELLING THE CONNECTORS. *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY REPLACED THE HEADLAMP CONNECTORS, BUT THE PROBLEMS RECURRED. *AK

THE SLIDING DOOR'S TOP PINS CAME OFF THE TRACK, WHICH RESULTED IN THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR DANGLING. ONLY THE BOTTOM HINGE WAS KEEPING THE DOOR ATTACHED TO VAN. *MR WHEN OPENED, THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR CAME OUT OF THE TOP TRACKS, LEAVING THE DOOR SUSPENDED ONLY BY THE BOTTOM SLIDING HINGE. THIS WAS WITHOUT WARNING, HOWEVER, THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAD BEEN EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS OF TROUBLE WITH OPENING. THE ROLLERS IN THE TOP TRACKS HAD APPARENTLY BROKEN OFF THE PINS. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE REPAIR COST. OTHER PROBLEMS: THE RADIO DISPLY WAS INOPERATIVE. *SC *JB
