2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

SLIDING DOORS LATCH RATTLE. HAVE TO STOP OR REACH BACK TO CLOSE AGAIN. DRIVING HIT A BUMP ON THE PAVED ROAD LEFT SLIDER DOOR OPENED. *JB

FUEL INJECTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON, AND OXYGEN SENOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, ECM SENSOR ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. *NM

INITIALLY RANDOM SQUEALING NOISES FROM ENGINE OCCURRED. LATER NOISE BECAME MORE FREQUENT WHEN CAR WAS SITTING IDLE. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP, FOUND THAT DRIVE BELTS NEEDED REPLACING. CAR WAS UNDER 20K MILES. *JB

NISSAN QUEST 2004 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 20 MPH. PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR OPENED ON ITS OWN; VEHICLE LOST POWER ON INCLINE. *BF THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE, BUT A BRACKET ON THE EXHAUST WAS FIXED TO CORRECT THE NOSIE. *JB

NISSAN QUEST 2004 HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES. TIRE PROBLEMS, CONSOLE LIGHTS (POSSIBLE SHORT) AND REAR INTERIOR LIGHTS. *BF THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILED, THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS CONTINUOUSLY LOSING AIR. *JB

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON , THE CONSUMER HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN ON THREE OCCASIONS. EACH TIME A DIFFERENT SERVICE WAS PERFORMED, TO INCLUDE, THE COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED, A FUEL ASSEMBLY REPAIR, AND A SMALL LEAK IN THE VENT CONTROL VALVE. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN.*AK

PRIOR TO A RECALL BY NISSAN HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM. AFTER NISSAN RECALIBRATED THE ODS, THE "AIR BAG OFF" SIGN FREQUENTLY LIGHTS UP WHEN MY WIFE IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SHE WEIGHS 125 LBS. ALTHOUGH THE RECALL NOTICE SAID THAT THE SEAT IS ADJUSTED FOR 6-YEAR CHILDREN, I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE ODS IS ADJUSTED FOR A 95-100 LB PERSON. AT THIS TIME I AM WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO INFORM ME AS TO WHETHER NISSAN WILL READJUST THE ODS.*AK

WE GOT THE CAR IN DEC 2003. BETWEEN FEB 2004 AND APRIL 2004 THE CAR HAD 5-6 HARD STARS; IN MOST CASES IT TOOK LESS THAN 5 MINUTES TO HAVE IT STARTED AND ONLY ONE TIME MORE THAN AN HOUR. I LEFT IT THERE AND CAME BACK AFTER 5 H.---IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN HOUSTON TX.. DEC 20 2004 IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, SECOND DAY OF OUR HOLYDAY VACATION. I?VE TRIED TO START IT FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS, UNTIL THE BATTERY WENT DEAD. FINALLY THE DEALER PICKED IT UP. AFTER ABOUT 10 DAY THE NISSAN ?TRAINED? AUTO MECHANIC COMES UP WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC: ?NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, YOU JUST FLOODED! IT IS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY!? YOU DON?T HAVE TO BE A MECHANIC TO KNOW THAT AN INJECTION ENGINE CAN?T BE FLOODED UNLESS THE CAR HAS A PROBLEM ( NO SPARKING, INJECTORS LICKS, OFF TIMING?). SAME CAR THE RADIO/CD SOMETIMES JUST WON?T PLAY; THE POWER IS ON BUT NO SOUND. USUALLY AFTER 5- 10 MINUTES WILL GO ON. THE REAR AC FAN CAME LOOSE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. (AT LEAST THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COULD AND HAD BEEN FIXED!) NICE CAR BUT I HAVE TO FILE FOR LEMON. I PAY FOR A NEW CAR AND I EXPECT IT TO START WHEN I NEED IT NOT WHEN IT ?FEELS LIKE?*AK

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, BOTH BIG AND SMALL, WITH MY BRAND NEW NISSAN QUEST SE. I CAN ALMOST DEAL WITH THE SQEAKS, RATTLES, BROKEN BUTTONS, BROKEN LIGHTS, MALFUNCTIONING SENSORS, RADIO PROBLEMS, AND MALFUNCTIONING SLIDER DOORS, BUT THE PROBLEM I CANNOT ACCEPT IS THE FAILURE OF THE CAR TO RUN DURING DAMP OR COLD DAYS. THE CAR CRANKS AND STARTS AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, BUT WHEN IT IS PUT INTO DRIVE IT EITHER LAGS AS IF IT'S RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, OR DIES COMPLETELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASSIONS, 2 OF WHICH I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. MEANWHILE, I NEVER KNOW IF MY CAR WILL RUN ON THESE DAYS, I HAVE EVEN BEEN FORCED TO WALK DOWN THE STREET IN BELOW ZERO WINDCHILL TEMPERATURES WITH MY CHILDREN IN ORDER TO GET HELP. I PURCHASED A NEW CAR TO HAVE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND, AND INSTEAD I AM LOSING SLEEP AT NIGHT AND ASKING NISSAN TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. I WILL LIST THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ON THE FORM, BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES.*AK

HUMMING NOISE IS EXPERIENCED WHILE THE CAR IS GOING AT A CONSTANT SPEED OR GOING UP THE HILL. THIS NOISE WAS REPORTED THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT AND THE NOISE HAS INCREASED OVER TIME. BOUGHT THE VAN BRAND NEW ON 2/29/04 AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. SINCE THEN, TAKEN THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A NORMAL CONDITION. EVEN NISSAN REP. CAME AND INSPECTED THE CAR AND MADE THE SAME COMMENT. IF IT IS A PROBLEM, IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED LIKE SO MANY OTHER THINGS ON THE VAN. *JB
