AFTER VEHICLE IS STARTED AND PLACED INTO GEAR, DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. THE ENGINE REVS NORMALLY BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPOND. THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE ISSUE IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. WITHIN SECONDS OF PARKING THE VEHICLE A FIRE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED A DANGEROUSLY SLOW ACCELERATION AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS ALSO POOR FUEL ECONOMY (11.6 TO 12.1 MPG INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL 19-26 MPG). ALSO, WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP, THE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OPENED INDEPENDENTLY ON TWO OCCASIONS AND FAILED TO OPEN OR CLOSE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE CONTROL BUTTONS, THE RADIO TEXT DISPLAY ON THE DASH READ MALFUNCTION MULTIPLE TIMES AND SOMETIMES IT OCCURED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. *AK *SC THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *JB

CONSUMER PURCHASED VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2003, AND SOON AFTER, IT BEGAN TO RATTLE BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. CONSUMER NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. THEN,CONSUMER CONTACTED A SECOND DEALER ,WHO ADJUSTED THE HINGE BECAUSE IT WAS LOOSE. VEHICLE RODE QUIETLY FOR ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS, THE IT STARTED TO RATTLE AGAIN. CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT HE SHOULD TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER, AND DEALER MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY TO HAVE VEHICLE INSPECTED. CONSUMER SAW MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE.*AK *NM

A NEWLY PURCHASED 2004 NISSAN QUEST WITH CURRENT MILEAGE OF AROUND 4,800 MILES WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE SUDDENLY BENT AND SMOKE CAME OUT. VAN WAS THEN TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THE CROSS MEMBER WAS BROKEN OFF. DEALERSHIP DENIED WARRANTY COVERAGE BECAUSE SERVICE MANAGER THOUGHT THAT SUCH DAMAGE MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A COLLISION, BECAUSE HE SAW A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES AND A SMALLER THAN 2CM MARK ON THE RIM. I AM SURE THAT THE VAN WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING WHEN THE TIRE WAS BENT. THE SCRATCHES AND LITTLE MARK COULD BE CAUSED BY PULLING OVER TO SHOULDER WITH A BENT TIRE. I POINTED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE JOINT OF THE BROKEN CROSS MEMBER WAS FULL OF RUST, A SIGN OF INCOMPLETE SEALED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, OBVIOUSLY NOT A NEW DAMAGE CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT. EVEN TRIED CONTACTING MANUFACTURER MANY TIMES, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS MADE BECAUSE MANUFACTURER MAKES DECISION BASED ON DEALERSHIP STATEMENT. ALSO, SQUEAKING NOISE HAS BEEN COMING OUT FROM REAR SLIDING DOORS, DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT THEY REMOVED DOORS BUT NO FINDING AND PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. *JB

CAR WAS STARTED AND BACKED INTO STREET, UPON SHIFTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR WOULDL NOT ACCELERATE. FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN THIRD GEAR. VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC. CAR WAS THEN PARKED. UPON SHUTDOWN AND RESTART, TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MAY 12, WITH COPIES OF MESSAGES FROM EDMUNDS.COM FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND SUGGESTION TO REPLACE TCM. BECAUSE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ANYTHING.*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID SPRAYED TOO LOW, CAUSING IMPAIRED VISION. THE CAUSE HAS NOT YET TO BEEN DETERMINED. *AK THE DEALER TRIED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE NOZZLES BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE NOZZLE NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED. THE STORAGE LID WARPED AND AS A RESULT THE LID IS NOT FLUSH WITH THE DASH. *NM

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. DROVE HOME AFTERWORK LET VEHICLE SIT FOR NO MORE THAN 15 MINS. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVE WAY AT WHICH TIME I HAD NOTICED NO POWER ENGINE VERY SLUGGISH. IF IT WERE A STANDARD STICK SHIFT VEHICLE IT SEEMED AS IT WAS STARTING IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, PROCEEDED UP A SLIGHT INCLINE OF WHICH I NEEDED TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN AT TONY NISSAN DEALERSHIP SINCE MAY 6, 2004. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME REPORTED PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN TECH LINE, PER NISSAN TECH LINE UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. PER TONY NISSAN GM HIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS CHECKED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE THEY DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE THAT IT IS "OKAY TO DRIVE". I ACKNOWLEDGED, I'D PICK UP MY VEHICLE IF HE'S SAYING IT SAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MYSELF OR FAMILY,I WILL HOLD TONY NISSAN AND THE GM LIABLE DUE TO THE FACT IT'S A REPORTED PROBLEM BUT, THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. AS I SPOKE TO THE GM, I READ TO HIM 9 COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE REGARDING THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MY COMPLAINT SHOULD MAKE 10, NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER VEHICLES HERE ON THE ISLAND OF OAHU.*AK
