2004 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

2004 NISSAN QUEST - PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS OCCURED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX TWICE AND HAVE HAD PARTS ON ORDER FOR 27 DAYS IN WHICH WE'VE BEEN WITHOUT THE CAR. ALSO, SLIDING DOORS DO NOT STOP WHEN SMALL CHILDREN GET BETWEEN DOOR AND CAR. *AK

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE REAR SLIDING DOORS CREEK AND RATTLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES AND PROBLEM STILL EXHISTS. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LEAKS AFTER IT RAINS AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NO FIX HAS BEEN MADE. WINDOWS PERIODICALLY ROLL DOWN ON THEIR OWN AND THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT'S A FEATURE BUT PROBLEM EXHISTS WHEN PRESSING THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE NOT JUST THE UNLOCKING FEATURE. WHEN CAR IS RUNNING AND A/C IS STARTED A LOUD KICK IN THE ENGINE OCCURS. VAN HAS FAILED TO START AND PART HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE ENGINE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, VEHICLE HIT A CURB AND A LIGHT POLE. THEN, VEHICLE ROLLED OVER TWICE. DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS AND BRUISES DRIVER AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR TREATMENT.*AK *MR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN QUEST, ONE WEEK AFTER OWNERSHIP THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR BEGAN AND HAS CONTINUED TO RATTLE, THE VAN HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS, THE DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS "NO FIX" FOR THE PROBLEM YET ALTHOUGHT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EXISTS, MORE SERIOUSLY, THREE TIMES THE VAN HAS FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY, UPON A DEAD STOP THE VAN IS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR 3RD, 4TH, OR OVERDRIVE. ACCELERATION IS ALMOST IMPOSIBLE AND UNSAFE AS I AM UNABLE TO BRING THE VAN UP TO SPEED WITH THE GAS PEDAL FULLY PRESSED! THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO IT CONTINUES.*AK

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE AUTOMATIC, REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SUDDENLY STARTED TO OPEN. *PH VEHICLE ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH RADIO EQUIPMENT BEING INOPERATIVE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS , AND TRANSMISSION MAKING A WHINING NOISE.*MR

I BOUGHT THIS 2004 NISSAN QUEST SE ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2003 AND TOOK A ROAD TRIP VISIT MY DAUGHTER 1300 MILES AWAY FORM MY HOME. DURING THE TRIP, WE NOTICED AIR INFILTRATION FROM THE PASSENGERS DOOR AND THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR. IN ADDITION TO THE AIR LEAKS, THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR AND THE REAR HATCH RATTLED, SOMETIMES CONSTANTLY AND OTHER TIMES WHEN PASSING OVER IRREGULARITIES IN THE PAVEMENT. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED. THIS SINCE THESE ARE POWER DOORS I WOULD EXPECT THAT THERE IS A POSITIVE LATCH UPON CLOSING, HOWEVER I WAS ASKED IF I STOPPED AND CYCLED THE DOOR. I HAVE FOUND THE SIDE DOORS AND REAR HATCH TO BE NOT LATCHED TIGHTLY ON AT LEAST SIX OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, THE POWER SLIDING DOORS DO NOT ALWAYS OPEN FROM COMMANDS TO THE DOOR HANDLE. ON ONE VISIT, THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASK, OTHER PARTS ON REAR LIFT GATE AND ADJUSTED THE REAR LATCH, AND IT STILL RATTLES. I FOUND THE UPPER TAILGATE STOPLIGHT TO ALSO HAVE LOOSE PARTS INSIDE IT (HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET). THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR VENT WINDOWS WERE RATTLING AND FOUND TO BE LOOSE AT THE HINGES. BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE FOUND TO HAVE LOOSE STRUCTURAL PARTS INTERNALLY. LEFT ONE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH ONE THAT DON'T RATTLE. HOWEVER, A LOOK AT THE NEW QUESTS ON THE DEALERS LOT FOUND MOST TO ALL TAILLIGHTS RATTLED. DURING THE TRIP THE VAN WAS HARD TO CONTROL AND DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHEN I GOT TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED, A WEEK LATER THEY SUPPOSEDLY ALIGNED IT, BUT IT WAS STILL NOTICEABLE. IN DECEMBER AT MY HOME I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS GOOD BUT THE STEERING WAS ABOUT 4 INCHES COCKEYED. WHICH WAS FIXED AT AT A LATER VISIT. I HAVE OWNED TWO NISSAN VEHICLES AT A TIME FOR THE MORE THAN THE LAST DECADE AND THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT MY EXPERIENCES WITH THOSE VEHICLES.

WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAY TOO LOW, NOT HITTING WINDSHIELD HIGH ENOUGH TO DO ANY GOOD. WIPERS NOT ABLE TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. *JB
