2007 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. LOUD RATTLING WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, $1670.

THE ECM (COMPUTER) IS PLACEMENT IS UNDER WINDSHIELD. WHICH OVER TIME ALLOWS WATER TO RUN DOWN INTO THE ECM CAUSING EROSION AND HOLES IN THE HOUSING AND COMPUTER. THEN WATER GETS INTO THE COMPUTER CAUSING IT FAIL COMMUNICATING OR NOT PROPERLY COMMUNICATING WITH THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO OWN. MY COMPUTER IS DAMAGED DUE TO ITS PLACEMENT AND WATER HITTING OVER TIME. THIS HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO SHAKE AND SEND ERRORS THAT CAUSE THE CYLINDER TO MISS FIRE. I WAS DRIVING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SLAMS INTO GEAR. MAKES AN AWFUL BANGING NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. LOSING TRANS FLIUD, SEEMS LIKE WE ARE GOING THROUGH JUGS OF FLUID. ALSO HAD A COOLANT LEAK, EVEN AFTER HAVING NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED, STILL SMELL COOLANT AND IT'S BEEN A WHILE WHEN THE CARE IS BEING CHECKED, MECHANIC CAN'T SEEM TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VERY FRUSTRATING AND SCARY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING. HAPPENS MORE SO WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING OR IF THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME.

TRANSMISSION JERKS/SLIPS BETWEEN GEARS ON DAILY BASIS. THIS JUST APPEARED IN THE SPRING AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING/INCREASING PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO MECHANIC AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND ASKED FOR RESOLUTION. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT IF TAKE FOOT OFF GAS, COAST, THEN PUT FOOT ON GAS AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE JERK IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO AFFECT THE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE CAR. IT SEEMS LIKE EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL JUST NOT ENGAGE AND I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT ON SIDE OF ROAD.

THE FUEL GUAGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET, THEN ON A BUSY EXIT RAMP, ONCE ON INTERSTATE 695 IN BALTIMORE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY HIT BY TRAFFIC BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE.

SUDDEN ONSET OF RATTLING NOISE WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER BUMPS AND DURING BRAKING. TOOK TO FIRESTONE AND WAS TOLD ONE OF THE CALIPER SCREWS WAS MISSING AND THE REMAINING THREE CALIPER SCREWS WERE LOOSE. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE BRAKE NOT TO FUNCTION.

FUEL GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHEN IT'S ALMOST FULL, NISSAN DID A FUEL SENDER CAMPAIGN REPAIR BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM...THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND DRIVE JUST A MILE OR SO

TRANSMISSION HAS VIBRATION(SHUTTERING)WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON LEVEL SURFACES AS WELL AS WHEN DRIVING ON INCLINES AT TIMES.VIBRATION STRONG ENOUGH TO VIBRATE INSIDE DASH AREA.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP, THE RPMS WILL REV WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE TRANS WILL JERK INTO GEAR WHEN IN LOWER GEARS, IT IS NOW HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING ALL TOGETHER.

WE WERE HEADED OUT ON A 2400 MILE TRIP AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE OUR VAN WAS READY. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE STRUTS. GOT THOSE FIXED. A WEEK LATER WE WERE BACK IN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE AND THEY FIXED THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS. A FEW DAYS LATER AGAIN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE WE FOUND OUT THE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED FIXED.
