2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

ALARM BEEPS WHEN SET BUT DOES NOT SOUND IF CAR IS BROKEN INTO. CAR WAS PARKED. POWER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS SHUT WHEN POWER BUTTON IS PUSHED. DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK AND LATCH AS WELL. DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO WHEN CLOSING DOES NOT STOP IF SOMEONE IS IN THE WAY. CAUGHT MY FOUR YR OLD DAUGHTER'S LEG AND SHUT ON IT. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON EVEN WHEN TIRES ARE COMPLETELY AIRED UP. BACK REAR DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS OPEN WHETHER BUTTON INSIDE VAN OR REMOTE KEY IS PUSHED. HAS TO FORCEFULLY BE OPENED AND SHUT. SOMETIMES WILL SLAM SHUT AND IT HAS FALLEN ON MY BACK BEFORE. MANY ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE DASH AND CONSOLE DO NOT ALWAYS WORK OR REGISTER. DOES NOT REGISTER FOR OIL, COOLANT, OR TEMP. *TR

THE CAR WOULD STALL AND THE STEERING WOULD GO OUT, WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENED DAILY SINCE MAY OF 2016. IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO GO FROM STOPPED TO A STARTING POSITION, IT WOULD TAKE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO PUSH DOWN ON ACCELERATOR TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN AN OCCUPIED WAS PRESENT. THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMEBR: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

DURING 05/05/2016 STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUE, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED GIVING STARTING PROBLEM AND THEN WHEN IT WILL START IT WILL NOT HAVE ANY PICKUP IN DRIVE MODE. AFTER FEW HOURS EVERYTHING WENT NORMAL AND WHEN STARTED DRIVING ALL OF SUDDEN BREAK GOT PRESSED AND CAR COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DIAGNOSTIC IT FOUND TO BE BANK 1 CAMSHAFT SENSOR BUT EVEN AFTER REPLACING VEHICLE STILL BEHAVES SAME WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON.

I BELIEVE A SENSOR SOMEWHERE IS GOING OUT. THE TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY WILL "MISS" A SHIFT, OR COME OUT OF GEAR. IF I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN GIVE IT GAS AGAIN, IT WILL SOMETIMES "SLAM" IN TO GEAR. WHEN IT IS ACTING UP, IT WILL ALSO TAKE A COUPLE SECONDS TO GO IN TO DRIVE FROM PARK OR REVERSE, THEN IT "SLAMS" IN TO GEAR. IT ALSO IS LACKING IN POWER, ALMOST AS IF A VACUUM ADVANCE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS WARM. ONCE, AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO WORK FINE FOR SOME TIME BEFORE STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY INSTRUMENT PANEL NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. I CAN NOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, READ MY (WHICH AFFECTS MY ABILITY TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ANYWHERE) , AND MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS IN NEGATIVE TEMPS WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO BUY A NEW INSTRUMENT PANEL, THE COST IS OVER $300. ONCE I FINALLY SAVED THE MONEY I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE PART WAS DISCONTINUED! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND DISCOVERED I AM ONLY ONE OF HUNDREDS WITH SAME ISSUE!

THE GAUGES FOR THE CURRENT MILEAGE, FUEL, TEMPERATURE ARE ALL GOING IN AND OUT. THIS ISSUE MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE CAR, SO I JUST KEEP PUTTING IN $15-$20 EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS TO KEEP IT FULL (WHERE THE AMOUNT IS ABLE TO BE SEEN). I MAKE SURE THERE IS ANTIFREEZE IN THE RADIATOR AND THE RESERVE BOTTLE AS WELL. KEEP THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY ALSO.

AFTER THE MINIVAN IS WARMED UP FOR 15-20 MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN HIT FORM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DOWN SHIFT TO 1 ST GEAR IT SLIPS AND THE RPM GAUGE MOVES BACK AND FORTH. MECHANICS SHOP HAVE TOLD ME THE SOLENOIDS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TRANSMISSION IS ONLY 108,000 MILES.

CAR FIRE. OUR MINIVAN WAS PARKED, THE ENGINE SHUTOFF AND THE KEYS WERE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE CAR SAT FOR THREE HOURS IN VERY COLD WEATHER IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. BASED ON THE VIDEOS, IT APPEARS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED SPARKING AND SET THE ENGINE AREA ON FIRE. EVENTUALLY THE CAB WAS ON FIRE AND THE ENTIRE MINIVAN WAS BURNED AND COMPLETELY LOST. IT TOOK 7 MINUTES FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ARRIVE AND AN ADDITIONAL 11 MINUTES FOR THE FIREMEN TO EXTINGUISH THE RAGING FIRE. ALL THIS WAS CAUGHT ON A NEIGHBOR'S SECURITY CAMERA. THE VIDEO FILES ARE OVER 5 MB SO THIS WEBSITE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO FILES. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION WE DROVE THE VAN EARLIER IN THE DAY WITHOUT PROBLEMS.
