2005 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

I HAD THE HEADLIGHT BULBS BLOW OUT A SECOND TIME. AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT. THAT IS UNUSUAL. *TR

TL *- THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTAC HAD MAJOR REPAIRS DONE IN DECEMBER 2007. THE NISSAN DEALER TOOK THE ENGINE APART TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT. SINCE THEN WHEN THE HEATER WAS ON AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED THE HEATER FAN WILL STOP WORKING, AND HE HEARD A HUMMING NOISE. ONCE HE RESUMED DRIVING HE HEARD A CLICKING SOUND ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THEN THE HEAT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HAD NOT HAPPENED BEFORE THE REPAIR SERVICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A MECHANIC AT NISSAN LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. *AK

THE 2005 NISSAN QUEST HAD A RECALL THAT PREVENTED INJURY WHEN FOLDING DOWN THE MIDDLE SEATS. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS WERE 05V474000 AND 05V480000. AFTER HAVING THIS RECALL PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, IT IS NOW ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTACH A CHILD RESTRAINT TETHER TO THE TETHER ANCHOR POINT. I BELIEVE THAT THE FIX FOR THIS RECALL HAS CAUSED AN EVEN MORE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAN THE ONE IT ATTEMPTED TO FIX. *NM

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN. THE 2 SEATS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VAN HAVE CURTAINS ON THE ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT. THESE ARE CONSTANTLY COMING UNDONE AND SPREAD OUT ON THE FLOORBOARD OF THE VAN. THEY ARE A TRIPPING HAZARD AND MY DAUGHTER HAS TRIPPED OVER THEM AND FALLEN OUT OF THE VAN AND LANDED ON CONCRETE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE ONLY RECALL IS ON THE SEATS IN THE REAR WHICH THEY HAVE REPAIRED. I WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY JUST REFERRED ME BACK TO A DEALER (THE RUN-AROUND!!)THESE CURTAINS DO NOT STAY PUT AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THEM PERMANENTLY BEFORE SOME CHILD IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *NM

THE OEM TIRES INSTALLED IN MY 05 NISSAN QUEST S WHEN NEW ARE IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED AT ONLY 30000 MILLES. THE TIRE IN QUESTION IS THE GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2. I'VE BEEN READING REVIEWS OF OWNER OF THIS KIND OF VEHICLE. WE ARE MOSTLY COMPLAINING OF THE LACK OF TREAD WARRANTY IN THIS TIRES, ALSO ABOUT HOW FAST THESE TIRES' LIFES ARE GONE SO FAST AND FINALLY THAT THIS IS THE ONLY TIRE IN THIS SIZE AVAILABLE. IN OTHER WORDS WE NEED TO KEEP UP PURCHASING A REALLY BAD TIRE AT A HIGH PRICE. CAN YOU HELP US, THE CONSUMERS. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN QUEST THAT I BEEN TAKING TO THE DEALER EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. THEY INSIST THAT IS THE TIRES, I FINALLY FOUND THAT IS REALLY THE TIRES. WENT TO THE TIRE SHOP AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO WARRANTY THE TIRES. I JUST FIND OUT THAT MOST OF THE QUEST OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS TIRES. I HOPE YOU GUYS HELP US AND OTHER CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS GOODYEAR NISSAN MAFIA. THIS ARE THE GOODYEAR LS2 TIRES ORIGINALLY INSTALLED BY NISSAN. THANKS !! *NM

THE FIRST FAILURE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND IN TRAFFIC. THIS REQUIRED A WALK HOME AND TOW OF THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD START WITH A JUMP BUT THEN SHORTLY AFTER WOULD COMPLETELY DIE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS AS AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. THE SECOND FAILURE IS A PERIODIC SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR. THE FIRST OCCURANCE FELT LIKE SLIPPING IN SNOW THEN GRABBING. WE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD US IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AN ERROR LIGHT WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASH. THE SECOND OCCURANCE 2 WEEKS LATER WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELEARATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT FELT AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH ENGINE REVING BUT NO POWER TO WHEELS. WE VERIFIED THE SHIFT WAS IN D AND THE DASH INDICATOR SAID "D". WE LOOKED FOR ANY TROUBLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BUT SAW NONE. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE AND RESTARTED WITH THE SAME RESULTS. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF A SECOND TIME AND RESTARTED. THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TEST DROVE IT AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. THEY ALSO FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THE DEALER IS NOW WAITING FOR TECHNICAL DIRECITON FROM NISSAN AND I AM WAITING FOR A RETURN CALL FROM A NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REGIONAL SPECIALIST. *NM

I HAVE HAD THE VAN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 4 TIMES(~15 DAYS) WITH ONGOING PROBLEMS WHICH INCLUDE: THE WINDOWS FAILING TO ROLL UP WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED, THE GAS GAUGE FAILING TO REGISTER GAS AFTER FILLING IT UP, THE GAS METER AFTER A HALF A TANK NEVER REGISTERS CORRECTLY (WHEN LIGHT INDICATES NO GAS AND TANK IS FILLED THE VAN WILL ONLY TAKE 16 GALLONS AND OWNERS MANUAL INDICATES A 20 GALLON TANK), THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, THE SLIDING DOORS SQUEAK AND RATTLE, REAR INTERIOR CLAMPS ON FLOOR OF CAR ARE RUSTING, IDIOT LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, THE GASKETS ON THE DOORS ARE COMING OFF, THE HEATED SEATS HAVEN'T WORKED IN HIGH AND LOW, THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM DOESN'T RESPOND TO REAR AV, AND THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT COOL ENOUGH AND IT STINKS. THE AUTOMATIC SLIDE DOORS WILL NOT STOP FOR SMALL OBJECTS BUT THIS PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES. THESE DOORS WILL REMOVE A CHILD'S FINGER AND THE SWITCH TO INITIATE THE AUTO SLIDE IS LOW, WHERE ONE CHILD CAN PUSH IT WHILE ANOTHER IS GETTING IN, OR HAS THEIR HAND IN THE WAY AND DIDN'T REALIZE THEIR BROTHER PUSHED THE BUTTON. I DID MY OWN LITTLE RESEARCH TEST, I GOT PENCILS AND EVERYWHERE I PLACED A PENCIL THE DOOR CLOSED WITH THE PENCIL BEING SNAPPED INTO MANY PIECES AND CRUNCHED UP IN THE DOOR. THEN I TRIED THE SAME THING ON MY FRIEND'S HONDA, BUT THE HONDA'S AUTO SLIDE DOORS BOUNCED OFF EVERY TIME. NISSAN ONLY DESIGNED THEIR DOORS TO RESPOND TO LARGE EXTREMITIES. I HAVE AN ATTORNEY AND I AM GOING THROUGH A PROCESS FOR LEMON LAW. I DIDN'T REALIZE THE ISSUES WITH THE VAN IN A FEW DAYS SO I DON'T THINK NISSAN SERVICE WILL RESOLVE ALL THESE ISSUES IN 2 DAYS WITH A SPECIAL NISSAN ENGINEER SENT OUT FROM THE COMPANY AS PART OF MY LEMON LAW PROCESS. AND IN REGARDS TO THE SLIDING DOOR CONCERNS ALL ANYONE WILL SAY IS THAT THE DOORS ARE PERFORMING THE WAY THEY WERE DESIGNED TO. SO NISSAN DESIGNED A PRODUCT FOR FAMILIES THAT WILL REMOVE A SMALL HAND OR FINGER. *JB

HAVE A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THERE IS VISIBLE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AT VARYING DRIVING SPEEDS AND ROAD CONDITIONS INCLUDING DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TRANSFERRED TO THE HAND THAT CAUSES SEVERE WRIST PAIN WHILE DRIVING. *NM

MY NISSAN QUEST 2005 COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED WHEN MY WIFE AND I AND KID WAS DRIVING IN INTERSECTION. GAS PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING. WE BY MIRACLE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WITH A BIG TRUCK ON IRVING PARK RD IN CHICAGO. DEALER FOUND THROTTLE CHAMBER ELECTRONICS FAILED AND WAS REPLACED 08/28/06. THEY HAVE OLD PARTS. PART NR. 16119-8J103 I WILL FILE STATE ATTORNEY ABOUT REPLACEMENT OF CAR BECAUSE I SCARE TO DRIVE NOW. *JB
