1999 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

GENERAL AMERI GS 60 TIRE HAD TREAD SEPARATION ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT THE RECOMMEND SPEEDS OF 70 MILES AN HOUR. THE TIRE THROUGH A LARGE CHUNK INTO THE CAR AND COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OR WORSE. *NLM

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND THE DRIVER HAD TO PRESS HARD ON THE PEDAL TO RELEASE IT, THEN THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD. *NLM

MY 1999 NISSAN QUEST, CONTINUES TO HAVE WIRING PROBLEMS THAT HAVE CAUSED THE HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS TO QUIT OPERATING. EACH HEAD LIGHT WIRING HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE AND NOW THE LEFT HEAD LIGHT AND LEFT BRAKE LIGHT DO NOT WORK. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN OBSERVED ON MULTIPLE NISSAN QUEST AND MERCURY VILLAGERS ON THE ROAD. I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A RECALLED ITEM BUT MY DEALER HAS BEEN REPAIRING FREE OF CHARGE.*JB

CONSUMER STATES OF HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PEDAL. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDEL STICKS WHEN VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP.*JB

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IN 3 YEARS THAT THE SAME WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AND AT LEAST THE SECOND TIME I'VE BEEN TOLD I HAVE "SPIDER WEBS IN MY CANNISTER". ( I DRIVE MY CAR DAILY---DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING). THE COMPUTER CODES, THIS TIME AROUND, ARE: P1446 AND P0325. DIAGNOSIS: "NEEDS VENT CONTROL VALVE AND CANNISTER" " FOUND SPIDER WEBS IN CANNISTER AND MIGHT NEED NEW ONE IN FUTURE." I'VE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS, BUT THE SAME WARNING LIGHT WITH AN EASY FIX (THEY SAID THEY WIPED OUT THE WEBS) INDICATES THAT SOMETHINS IS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.

BRAKES GRIND TO A STOP. VEHICLE IS SHUTTERING IN FRONT, WHEN BRAKING VEHICLE WILL JOLT FORWARD. BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE BEING REPLACED. *AK *YH

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WITHOUT WARNING, CAUGHT ON FIRE. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. FIREFIGHTERS STATED THAT FIRE WAS CAUSED BY FRICTION FROM BRAKE LINES. DEALERSHIP FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF DEFECT. CONSUMER STATED THAT BEFORE THE FIRE THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL IN THE BRAKE LINES. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. CONSUMER IS REQUESTING VEHICLE BE REPLACED, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *TT

AFTER DRIVING THE VAN FOR 10-15 MILES, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD FIND A WAY TO FIX. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $130.00 TO HAVE THE CARBON BUILD-UP REMOVED. I ASKED WHY WAS IT NOT COVERED IN MY 3YR/36,000MI WARRENTY, I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR" . IF THAT WAS NORMAL THEN WHY IS IT NOT IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. IT HAPPENDS DAILY SO FOR SAFETY REASONS I WILL HAVE TO FOOT $130.00 OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A RELIABLE FAMILY VAN, BUT I THOUGHT WRONG. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED NISSAN'S( 3MAXIMA'S, 2 STANZA'S 1 QUEST ) AND HAVE REFERRED OVER 20 PEOPLE TO BUY NISSAN'S, BUT AS FAR AS A VAN GOES I AM VERY DISSATISFIED.*AK
