1993 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

UPON PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY REVVED UP/ACCELERATED AND WENT THROUGH THE BRICK WALL OF CONSUMERS HOUSE INTO DINING ROOM.

UPON EVALUATION, THE SOLDER POINTS IN THE MODULE WERE NOT PERMANENT AS HEAT WORE AWAY THE CONTACTS.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ATTACHES TO THE ENGINE BLOCK IN TWO LOCATIONS. THE BOLTS VIBRATE LOOSE AND FALL OUT OR SHEAR OFF. SOME OF THE GASKET FALLS OUT. I AM TOLD BY AN INDEPENTANT REPAIR FACILITY, THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH NISSAN QUEST AND MERCURY VILLAGER MINI-VANS. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

CONSUMER NOTICE LEAVES BUILDUP IN VENTILATION SYSTEM. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONABILITY. SEEKING HELP FROM NHSTA. *AK

EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS FAILED/BROKE RESULTING IN LEAKAGE DURING FAILURE, MANIFOLD GASKETS ARE ASBESTOS FIBERS WHICH LEAKING INTO COMPARTMENT DURING FAILURE.

VEHICLE EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS FAILED/BROKE. DEALER IS AWARE OF SERVICE BULLETIN SPELLING OUT PROBLEM. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS LEAK DURING FAILURE, MANIFOLD GASKETS ARE ASBESTOS FIBERS WHICH LEAK INTO LIVING COMPARTMENT OF VEHICLE DURING FAILURE. SERVICE BULLETIN ONLY MENTIONS BOLT FAILURE WHICH DEALER REFUSES TO COVER AFTER WARRANTY. DUE TO POTENTIAL DANGER I BELIEVE THAT RECALL SHOULD BE PUT INTO EFFECT FOR ALL NISSAN PRODUCTS WITH THIS FAILURE AND ASBESTOS WARNING BE PLACED ON BULLETIN AS WELL. ASBESTOS WARNING ONLY PLACED ON REPLACEMENT GASKET. *AK
