2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

THE CONSUMER NOTICED WHILE THE PASSENGER WAS SITTING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS DEACTIVATED BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WEIGHED 120 POUNDS. THE WEIGHT SENSOR ACTIVATED AND MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN QUEST IN MAY 2004. HAD ISSUES WITH PERSISTENT RATTLES IN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT IN AUG 2004 FOR NISSAN'S "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INITIATIVE" WHICH CORRESPONDS TO TSB NTB04-053. THIS CAMPAIGN WAS TO INSTALL A DOOR RATTLE KIT FIX IN ADDITION TO 2 OTHER ISSUES. AS A RESULT OF THE DOOR RATTLE KIT FIX INSTALLATION, BOTH OF MY SLIDING DOORS NOW RATTLE LOUDER THAN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DID TO BEGIN WITH. *AK

THE 2004 QUEST HAS LESS THAN 4000 MILES AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHIMMY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTOR IS WARPED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *JB

VEHICLE POWER SLIDING DOORS AND POWER REAR HATCH OPENING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. POWER SLIDING DOORS MOVING ERRATICALLY(SOMETIMES FAST, SOMETIMES SLOW). POWER SLIDING DOORS PINCH PROTECTION (REVERSAL OF DOOR IF OBJECT IS CAUGHT IN BETWEEN) IS NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH. DEALER STATES IT IS WORKING NORMAL.*AK

WE BOUGHT OUR BRAND NEW 2004 NISSAN QUEST S ON 7-30-04. THE NEXT DAY IT RAN VERY SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP TO ADEQUETE SPEED FROM A STOP. IT STALLED OUT TWICE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE FUEL INJECTOR, FUEL PUMP AND SOME KIND OF GASKET. THEY ALSO ORDERED US A NEW VEHICLE AND WAS VERY COOPERATIVE AND HELPFUL. I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY THE NEXT 10 YEARS IF MY CAR WAS GOING TO BREAK DOWN WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN. THIS IS NOT MY EXPECTATION OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.*AK

WE PURCHASED OUR 2004 NISSAN QUEST ON OCTOBER 6TH, 2003. THIS WAS A VEHICLE THAT WE WANTED TO GET FOR OUR FAMILY AFTER REVIEWING SAFETY INFORMATION ETC. NOT EVEN TWO WEEKS AFTER WE HAD FINALIZED THE SALE, TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS ALL OVER A PARKING LOT DUE TO A PLASTIC CLAMP NOT BEING REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP. OUR VAN WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER FOR EVERYTHING TO BE CHECKED OUT. OUR SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND WE ARE VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY INJURIES TO REPORT. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WITH THE ACCELERATOR "FLOORED" OUR VAN WOULD NOT GO OVER 55 MPH. ON A MAIN HIGHWAY THIS IS NOT SAFE DUE TO OTHER DRIVERS DOING ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT OR WELL ABOVE. WE TRIED TO TAKE IT TO OUR DEALERSHIP BUT WITH IT BEING PAST BUSINESS HOURS THERE WAS NO WAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MEET WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IN LESS THAN A YEAR, WE ARE TAKING IT IN AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT WORKED ON. LUCKILY OUR DEALERSHIP HAS GONE ABOVE WHAT WE ASKED AND HAS DONE THEIR BEST TO WORK WITH US, BUT WITHOUT OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND THIS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED THERE IS LITTLE THAT THEY CAN DO TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT. THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT EVER AND THIS IS THE MOST TIMES THAT WE HAVE TAKEN IN A CAR FOR PROBLEMS IN SUCH LITTLE TIME. WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN, WE THOUGHT THAT THIS VAN WOULD BE THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND SAFE VEHICLE THAT WE COULD AFFORD FOR OUR FAMILY, BUT WE ARE SADLY LEARNING THAT THERE ARE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AND TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. IT WOULD BE DISAPPOINTING AND SAD TO SEE IF THIS OCCURRENCE IS WHAT IT TAKES FOR NISSAN TO INVESTIGATE SUCH COMPLAINTS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH SKYLIGHT WINDOW IMPLODED INTO THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE CHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT.*AK

PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCATION OF THE HEADLIGHT CONTROLS.*MR THE HEADLIGHT CONTROLS, LOCATED AT THE END OF THE TURN SIGNAL ARM, ARE VERY EASILY MOVED. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THEY CAN BE INADVERTENTLY TURNED OFF WHEN USING THE ARM TO SIGNAL A TURN. IT'S NOT UNTIL THE CONSOLE GOES DARK THAT THE DRIVER IS AWARE THAT THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. THE CONSUMER HAS ATTEMPTED TO NOTIFY NISSAN OF THE CONDITION AND HAS ALSO NOTIFIED THE DEALER. *NM

CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT THE THIRD ROW SEAT BELT CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN ON THE 9 YEAR OLD CHILD'S WAIST WHILE DRIVING, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO RELEASE THE BELT BY HAND. THEY HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO FREE THEIR CHILD. DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. *AK

WHILE MOVING THE SECOND ROW, PASSENGER SEAT, BEHIND THE DRIVER, MY RIGHT-HAND, PINKY FINGERTIP WAS AMPUTATED. I WAS RUSHED TO EMERGENCY AND THEY COULD NOT REATTACH IT. I HAVE A 12 YEAR-OLD CHILD AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO HIM OR ANOTHER PASSENGER OR YOUNGER CHILD. THIS HAS BEEN A HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE FOR MY ENTIRE FAMILY AND MYSELF PARTICULARY BECAUSE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WHILE MOVING A SEAT. THERE IS A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *AK
