2000 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COLLIDE INTO THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT OF HIM, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS CAUSED THE PASSENGER TO SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSED HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *NM

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS REPEATEDLY (GOING ON 3RD TIME) AND MY TAIL LIGHT (1 TIME). IN ADDITION, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL; IT SEEMS TO STICK, UNTIL I APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE THEN IT TAKES OFF ABRUPTLY FAST, HAD THESE SAME PROBLEMS (WITH REPLACING HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS AND ACCELERATOR) WHEN I HAD MY 1993 NISSAN QUEST, BUT DISMISSED THEM. NOW I SEE A CORRELATION WITH THE 2000 QUEST I HAVE NOW. THE LOW PROFILE OF MY QUEST CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION PAN TO LEAK FLUID, BECAUSE OF A DIP IN THE ROAD. CONSTANT PROBLEMS WHEN PARKING DUE TO THE FRONT END OF MY QUEST BEING TOO LOW AND SCRAPING THE CURB. PROBLEM WITH HEATING SYSTEM IN THE REAR, ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR REGARDLESS OF SETTING IT TO HEAT. THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN MY CAR IS RUNNING (THIS WAS ALSO EXPERIENCED IN MY 1993 QUEST) ONLY COMPACT INCIDENT WAS WHEN MY TRANMISSION PAN CRACKED GOING DOWN THE STREET AND GOING DOWN A DIP IN THE ROAD (NOT A POT HOLE). OTHER THAN THESE THINGS I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASES, VERY RELIABLE BUT THESE ARE A FEW THINGS I'VE NOTICED AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER MY CONCERNS TO FURTHER BE INVESTIGATED.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS HARD. THE PEDAL DID NOT GO DOWN AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. *AK *JB

I'M THE OWNER OF 2000 NISSAN QUEST , MY CAR STARTING GIVE ME A PROBLEM LAST MONTH WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLAMP ITS WENT OUT [FAILURE] , I DID FOUND OUT ITS SOMTHING WORNG WITH THE SOCKET , IF I USED MY HAND HOLD THE SOCKET THE LIGHT WILL CAME ON. NOW EVERYNIGHT IF I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT I HAVE TO OPEN THE HOOD AND USED MY HAND TO HOLD THE SOCKET SO THE LIGHT WILL COME ON.*AK

MY NISSAN QUEST(2000 MODEL) HAD PAINT CHIPS ON THE HOOD AFTER A YEAR WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHEN WE RELATED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER THE COMPANY INSPECTOR CAME OUT TO TELL US THE CAR WAS JUST REPAINTED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RECORD THAT THE CAR WAS REPAINTED! I WAS SO OUTRAGED THAT THEY HAD THE GALL TO LIE TO ME! BASICALLY THE CAR'S PAINT WAS MARRED AND IT WASN'T EVEN TEN YEARS AFTER THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND THEY STILL DID NOTHING. I WISH TO WARN OTHER NISSAN DRIVERS THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS UNRELIABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON. THAT IS ALL.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. WHEN IT FAILS, THE WIPERS WILL COME ON BY THEMSELVES OR NOT COME AT ALL. IF THEY TURN THEMSELVES ON, SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT TURN OFF.*AK

SINCE APRIL 7, 2003, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR A NOISE IN THE DRIVE SYSTEM. IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AT THAT TIME HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE BEEN BACK 6 ADDITIONAL TIMES TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY CREATED NEW PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER THEY ORDER THAT THE CAR GET A NEW TUNE UP ALTHOUGH I HAD ONE IN NOVEMBER AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I HAVE HAD MY FUEL INJECTION WORK DONE 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER. THE CAR IS STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN WITH THE NOISE IN THE DRIVE SYSTEM AND AGAIN ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD IT. PLEASE SEND GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT I COULD DO TO GET RID OF THIS LEMON.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE FUSE AS WHEN YOU PUSH THE WIRES CONNECTED TO THE LIGHTS, THEY WILL ILLUMINATE. AS SOON AS THERE IS ANY VIBRATION THEY GO OUT.

AFTER ENGINE IS RUNNING FOR OVER 500 MILES,(IE ROAD TRIP)THE VAN STARTS TO BUCK AND BUCK, ENGINES HESITAKES,NO POWER IS THIS A ENGINE VAPOR LOCK PROBLEM. DEALER COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH ENGINE TEST MACHINE.

THE CONNECTION TO THE HEADLIGHT BULB ON MY 2000 NISSAN QUEST IS INTERMITTENT AND THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. *AK
