1999 NISSAN QUEST Complaints

DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. NO PATTERN, JUST ON AND OFF. I REPLACED W/NEW BULB...STILL HAPPENS. WILL TAKE INTO DEALER ASAP.*AK

FILLED FUEL TANK & DROVE APPROXIMATELY 230 MILES WHEN ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE 30 MORE MILES & ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WENT OUT. TOOK TO DEALER & MECHANIC PLACED VEHICLE ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. CODES APPEARED. PARTS WERE ORDERED & PLACED ON VEHICLE. PROBLEM CAME BACK. LEAK COULD NOT BE LOCATED COMING FROM ENGINE. NUTS & BOLTS INDICATED EVAOPRATED VENT HOSE. *AK SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT KEEPT COMING ON DUE TO EGR SOLENOID VALVE FAILURE. *YH

WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CAME TO A STOP AFTER SPINNING AND CRASHING INTO A POWER POLE, A POSSIBLE REASON TO THIS CRASH WAS A LOOSE NUT ON THE SUSPENSION RIGHT FRONT SIDE WHEEL AND A CRACK IN THE PLATE, THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES DUE TO THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING, WHICH CAUSED MINOR BRUISES IN THE ARMS. *SLC

EXTERIOR MIRROR ON DRIVER'S SIDE VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY, CREATING AN ILLUSION OF VEHICLE BEHIND/BESIDES YOU. MIRROR WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST OF 1999 UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER WAS NOT WILLING TO REPLACE MIRROR FREE OF CHARGE THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

FRONT BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED THREE TIMES, THEY KEEP WEARING, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT OTHER QUEST VANS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, A SQUEALING NOISE IS HEARD WHEN WHEELS ARE MOVING, BUT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE NOISE STOPS. *AK *SLC

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN ELECTRICAL FUSE BOX OVERHEATED & MELTED THE BOX. DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON/OFF. WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE PROPERLY. TOOK TO DEALER & HAD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM & SHIFTING APPARATUS REPLACED. PROBLEM HAS NOT REAPPEARED. *AK

ACCELERATOR WOULD STICK AND NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS IT DOWN. THIS WOULD OCCUR AS AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION. THE PEDAL WOULD NOT BUDGE, THUS CAUSING ME TO PUMP IT TO TRY TO WIGGLE IT TO MOVE. WHEN IT DID CATCH, IT WOULD ACCELERTE ABRUPTLY. MANY TIMES I WAS IN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST HIT FRONT BEHIND OR SIDE BECUASE THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE. ALSO, AT THE 30,000 MILE MAINTENANCE, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS LESS THAN 10% LEFT ON FRONT BRAKES. THIS IS PREMATURE AS MOST CARS DO NOT NEED BRAKE PADS CHANGED SO QUICKLY.

EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE PADS AND ROTORS. DEALER HAS REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS THREE TIMES, AND PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. *AK

UNABLE TO DEPRESS ACCELERATOR WITHOUT GREAT FORCE. PEDAL SUDDENLY "GIVES" CAUSING VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. DEALERS EXPLANATION WAS CLOGGED THROTTLE BODY. QUES.-SHOULD I EXPECT THROTTLE BODY TO STICK EVERY 25K MILES. ALSO I KNOW OF ANOTHER PERSON WHOSE NISSAN QUEST EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.

AFTER VEHICLE REACHES 17,00 MILES STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT BEGAN TO SHAKE GIVING THE VEHICLE A ROUGH RIDE.*AK THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING BENT REAR AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT SO THE BENT AXLE SHOULD BE MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE TIRES ARE WORN PREMATURELY, BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENTS CLAIMING AT 17000 MILES IT IS A NORMAL WEAR. *YH
