2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

POWER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT STOP FORWARD MOTION UNLESS OBJECT IS WITHIN A VERY SMALL SAFETY ZONE APPROXIMATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOOR. ALSO, GREAT FORCE IS REQUIRED TO STOP FORWARD MOTION (ADULT MALE, BOTH HANDS PULLING HARD). FINALLY, WITH CHILD LOCK 'ON', POWER BUTTON BY DOOR WILL STILL ALLOW CHILD TO CLOSE THE DOOR FROM INSIDE AND CRUSH WHATEVER HE STICKS OUT. NISSAN MECHANIC ASSURED ME THIS IS BY DESIGN AND CANNOT BE CHANGED. *AK

WE PURCHASE A 2004 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO. THE VAN HAS HAD DOOR RATTLE PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. THE REAR DOOR RATTLED AND THE DEALER HAS REPLACED A HINGE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THAT. BOTH SLIDING DOOR RATTLE LIKE A BUCKET OF BOLTS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SERVICE NOW 3 TIMES FOR THIS. WE WERE FINALLY TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE LATCHES, BUT THERE WAS NO FIX FROM NISSAN FOR THIS. A $38,000 VEHINCLE THAT RATTLES DOWN THE ROAD DUE TO POOR QUALITY WITH NO FIX KNOWN IS UNACCEPTABLE.*AK

QUEST SL 2004 HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION TWICE; ONCE 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING, AND THE SECOND ABOUT 4 WEEKS AFTER; DEALER NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE VAN DOES NOT ACCELERATE, JUST MOVES VERY VERY SLOWLY, AS IF IT WAS IN A HIGHER GEAR. WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY.

HAD AN EPISODE WHERE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE RACED AND TOOK ALOT OF POWER TO START ROLLING. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR ACTED NORMALLY, BUT IN SLOWER SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MISBEHAVED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN. *NM

THE TRANSMISSION OPERATED POORLY. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 25 MPH WITHIN 225 FEET WITHOUT PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. THE DRIVER HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL REALLY HARD TO SLOW DOWN. *AK THIS OCCURRED ON DOWNHILL SLOPES AND WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *SC *JB

DURING COLD WEATHER IT WOULD BE HARD FOR THE CONSUMER TO CLOSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

POWER SLIDING DOORS RATTLE SEVERLY AND DO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. SOMETIMES THE LATCH IN THE DOOR STICKS IN THE CLOSED POSITION AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO CLOSE AND LATCH. BACK HATCH OPENS ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, ONCE AS WE WERE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE AND IT RIPPED OFF THE COVER OVER THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. SOMETIMES THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN TO THE OFF POSITION. THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION IF THE SWITCH IS NOT IN THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR THESE ISSUES 3 TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS.*AK

RADIO/CD/DVD IS ON AND DISPLAYED ON THE MONITOR HOWEVER, NO SOUND CAN BE HEARD FROM SPEAKERS. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING BUT, AFTER THE MOTOR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I'VE FOUND IF THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES THE SOUND WILL WORK. THE PROBLEM HAS NO PREDICTABILITY. THE DEALER HAS NOT OBSERVED THE PROBLEM YET. THEY DID ADMIT THAT THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES WITH THE AM HOWEVER, THIS OCCURS WITH FM AS I DON'T LISTEN TO AM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED PASSENGER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR OPENED. WHEN THE DOOR OPENED IT WOULD NOT CLOSE OR LATCH. FORTUNATELY CONSUMER'S CHILD AT THAT MOMENT WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE. *AK ROPE WAS USED TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. *SC

WINDSHIELD WASHERS WILL NOT SPRAY WATER ONTO THE WINDSHIELD WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE WATER HITS AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD. WORKS FINE WHILE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 70 WHEN A TRUCK SPRAYED SLUSH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. WAS UNABLE TO WASH THE WINDSHIELD. HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY IN BAD WEATHER TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD.*AK
