I NOTICED RECALL ON QUEST BY ACCIDENT WHILE SURFING THE INTERNET. COMPANY NEVER INFORMED ME OF THIS RECALL INSPITE OF MY ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER ON RECORD , AS PER CO. REP.... THESE RECALLS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED BY CERTIFIED MAIL.

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VAN STALLING ON ME IN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN HOT TEMPERATURES, BUT LATELY HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN AVERAGE TEMPS. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS A VERY LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY VAN. VERY SCARY! IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL EXPLODE! THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 1998. IN AUGUST 1998, WE WERE EVACUATING FOR A HURRICANE AND WE WERE LEFT STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS HOT AND THE TRAFFIC WAS REALLY BAD. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! WE WAITED AROUND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND IT WORKED! ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE WAITED AGAIN, AND IT STARTED. 15 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD, WE WERE STUCK! WE FINALLY WORKED OUR WAY OUT OF HARMS WAY, NEEDLESS TO SAY, VERY LATE! BAD WEATHER! THE NEXT DAY, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN! AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE VAN DIDN'T STALL ON US FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH OR SO! THEN IT STARTED AGAIN! ALWAYS WHEN IT WAS HOT, AND SOMETIMES WHEN STUCK IN TRAFFIC! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW! I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY VAN AND THEY NEVER DID RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS! I BROUGHT MY VAN IN SEVERAL TIMES TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM! ODD HUH? I NORMALLY DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS WITH MY VAN, BUT I JUST CAN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY CHILDREN, NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL STOP ON ME AGAIN! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. RECENTLY, MY VAN STALLED ON ME AND LEFT ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND WOULDN'T GET ME BUT ABOUT 2 BLOCKS MORE WITHOUT STOPPING. THATS WHY I COULDN'T ENTER MY VIN #, BECAUSE MY VAN IS IN THE SHOP. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM! AGAIN! I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS AND NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. SHOULD THERE BE A RECALL OR SOMETHING? WHEN SO MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS? HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING IN COLD WEATHER. HADHAD FRONT END ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG DIDN'T OPEN.

MY CRANKSHAFT IN THE ENGINE BROKE AT THE TIMING BELT PULLEY SIDE. I HAD ONLY 53288 MILES ON THE VAN AND HAVE FOUND OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FAILURE IN THE SAME LOCATION. BEGINNING IN 1996 NISSAN WENT TO A LARGER CRANKSHAFT. IF THIS WAS DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE EARLIER CRANKSHAFTS (1993-1995) THEN CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE REPAIRS MADE. A BROKEN CRANKSHAFT AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED COULD BE FATAL. THIS HAS BEEN THE THIRD NOTED BROKEN CRANKSHAFT AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS LOCATION ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON A FAMILY TRIP FROM CLEARWATER, FL. TO BOONE NC, I NOTICED A SCRAPING SOUND FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AS I SLOWED TO A STOP. I INVESTIGATED AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I RESUMED MY TRIP AND AS I WAS ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED A KNOCKING SOUND STARTED AND IT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND AGIN INVESTIGATED. I CHECKED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, FINDING NOTHING. I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FORD/LINCOLN/ MERCURY DEALER CLOSEBY. I WENT THERE AND ASKED IF THERE WAS SOMEONE THAT COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR FOR ME AS I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT END. THE SERVICE REP TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND FOUND THAT THE WHEEL COVER HAD SEVERAL BROKEN RETAINERS AND THAT IT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE NOISE. HE SWITCHED THE FRONT WHEEL COVER WITH THE REAR AND ASKED ME TO DRIVE AROUND AND SEE IF THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I DROVE AROUND AND HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. I RETURNED AND ASKED THE SERVICE GUY TO RIDE WITH ME SO THAT HE COULD HEAR WHAT I HEARD. HE DID AND ANNOUNCED THAT IT MIGHT BE A BAD CV JOINT. HE REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY DOWN THE STREET. I DROVE THERE AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL HAD TWO CRACKS WHICH WAS ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO FLES THUS CRETING THE NOISE I HEARD. HE ALSO COMMENTED THAT HE AND NEVER SEEN A STEEL WHEEL CRACK LIKE MINE. HE WELDED THE CRACKS INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY AND INSTALLED IT ON THE RIGHT REAR POSITION. *AK
