2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ON MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST BUT MY HEAT TURNS ON BUT MY CON PRESSURE IS NOT TURNING ON .. PLEASE HELP I AM A SINGLE MOM I CANT AFFORD A NEW CAR AND I HAVE 9 MONTHS MONTHS TO FINISH PAYING OFF CAR

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE [ECM] DUE TO A BAD DESIGN,RAIN AND WATER FROM MELTING SNOW LEAKS ONTO THE ECM AND DESTROYS IT.I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 2004 QUEST AND THAT NISSAN HAD A SECRET RECALL ON VEHICLES UP TO 8 YEARS OLD.WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED TO 20 MPH,I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY.WHY DID NISSAN NOT NOTIFY ALL OWNERS.

DRIVING TO MY KIDS SCHOOL, TO WORK AND THE VAN JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY STREET . THE VAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING . COMPLETELY DEAD. ONLY HAD THE VAN OVER A YEAR AND A HALF.

BOUGHT THE 2004 NISSAN QUEST IN JANUARY 2015,FROM A DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN NISSAN, TOLD VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE,THIS IS FROM A NISSAN DEALER,AS WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN I HAD TO TAKE TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN PLACE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND SEND THEM THE INFO,NISSAN PLACE SAID THE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED BADLY,IF I WERE TO HIT A POTHOLE,IT COULD BREAK AND BE IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT! HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD PARK IT,I'VE ONLY HAD IT SINCE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR,ANOTHER MECHANIC ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN BOUGHT AS THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN LESS THAN A YEAR,CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND WAS TOLD PRETTY MUCH NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

ON 10/08/2015 - WITHIN 10 DAYS AFTER MY LAST SERVICING THRU NISSAN DEALER I LOST TRANSMISSION ON MY NISSAN QUEST 3.5 SE MODEL YEAR 2004 WITH MILEAGE 110000. IT WAS VERY PAINFUL EXPERIENCE AS VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO TOM WOOD DEALER WHERE ITS BEEN REPLACED AT A VERY HIGH COST FROM MY POCKET THAT I WAS NOT PREPARED. I WAS SURPRIZED ON THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR SUCH A LOW MILEAGE BUT MORE SURPISE THAT THE DEALER COULD NOT DETECT IT DURING MULTI-POINT INSPECTION CHECK AFTER EVERY OIL CHANGE SERVICING. FOR THE SAKE OF RECORD, I HAVE PERFORMED ALL OF THE QUEST SERVICING (100%) THRU THE DEALER FROM WHERE I BOUGHT THIS VAN INITIALLY. ALSO I HAD REPLACED TRANSMISSION OIL AT 60K MILE SERVICING THAT WAS RECOMMENDED AT THAT TIME. THIS VAN IS WELL MAINTAINED AND STILL GOT THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A SURPIZE AND RAISES CONCERNS TO THE NISSAN DROPPING QUALITY. ALSO I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND NOTICED QUEST 2004 HAS THIS PROBLEM, KNOWN FOR BAD TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND CASE REPORTED AGAINST NISSAN USA. I AM REPORTING TO ALL 3 SITES THRU THIS LINK BELOW (CARCOMPLAINT, CAS AND NHTSA). HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/TRANSMISSION-JERKING/ I PULLED OFF VERY DANGEROUSLY ON THE FREE-WAY WHEN THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAD OCCURED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

NISSAN QUEST CLUSTER LOSES ABILITY TO MONITER FUEL AND TEMPERATURE , WHICH CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF FUEL WHILE TRAVELLING AT A SPEED OF 55MPH. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THERE IS A REPAIR BUT HOW DOES THE DEALER NOT SEE AN ISSUE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE LCD SCREEN ESSENTIALLY PEEL AWAY FROM THE SCREEN DUE TO HEAT OR HUMIDITY . I SEE THIS AS A DANGER AND I FEEL IT PUTS MY FAMILY ALONG WITH OTHERS IN DANGER .

WHILE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE SUDENLY STALLED, PULLED OVER AND TRIED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND ENGINE STARTED AGAIN, AFTER THAT THE STALL COTINUES HAPPENING WITH NO SIMPTOMS AT ALL, IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME AND ANY CONDITION; DURING TRAFFIC DRIVING OR DURING HIGH SPEED DRIVING, DAY OR NIGHT. REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOME TIMES OTHER DRIVERS HAVE PROBLEMS TO AVOID CRASH WITH MY VAN THAT DOES NOT START AND CAN NOT BE MOVED AWAY. ALL KIND OF REVIEWS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AND NO SUCCESS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT FAILURE FOR NISSAN QUEST VEHICLES; CAN YOU DO ANYTHING TO ASK NISSAN FOR A SOLUTION? A LOT OF MONEY HAS BEEN PAID FOR SENSORS, RELAYS, ECU, FUEL PUMP AND OF COURSE LABOR. PLEASE HELP

ONCE STARTED, THE ENGINE MAKES A TICKING SOUND. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL RAPIDLY DECELERATE, ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND NOT BEGIN ACCELERATING ADEQUATELY UNTIL IT IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED TO COMPLETELY STALLING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART, BUT THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. A LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE TIMING CHAINS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN SOME STATES FOR PREMATURE FAILURE OF TIMING CHAINS ON 2004-2009 NISSAN QUEST, AMONG OTHER MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE ODOMETER FAILED TO PROVIDE THE READING LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, THE WATER PUMP, AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,681.

MY FAMILY'S 2004 NISSAN QUEST SPONTANEOUSLY STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON A TOTAL OF FIVE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ON JULY 9TH, 2015. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON ABOUT JULY 13TH, 2015 IN A PARKING LOT WHILE MOVING AT A LOW SPEED OF NOT MORE THAN TEN MILES AN HOUR BUT EVERY STALLING INCIDENT SINCE THEN WAS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON ROADS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER TEN MILES AND HOUR AND UNDER FIFTY MILES AN HOUR. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN BEFORE STALLING THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT INDICATIONS BEFORE HAND TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EXCEPT THAT ON THE LAST FEW OCCASIONS WE HAVE NOTICED THAT A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE STALLING THE CHECK ENGINE AND SLIP LIGHTS GLOW. AFTER STALLING THE VEHICLE RESTARTS EITHER ON A FIRST ATTEMPT OR A SECOND ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STALL EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN EITHER. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT HAVE ANY MECHANICAL EXPERTISE, SOME ONLINE RESEARCH INTO THIS MATTER SUGGESTS THAT ON 2004 MODELS, AND FIXED IN LATER MODELS, THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH CORROSION TO THE ECM DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE MODULE IN A LOCATION THAT IS SUBJECT TO WATER INTRUSION.
