Brake Disc problems of the 1999 Nissan Quest

Six problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1999 Nissan Quest. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2004

I have had to look into alignment probelms again and replace the brakes and the tires again. I also was told by the dealer that this was because of "normal" wearing of the cv joints and that my front axle was shot so I had to replace this too. I have had so much tire, tire valve, brake and front end trouble, it's ridiculous.

2 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2002

Consumer states the front brakes failed.

3 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2001

Brakes were replaced at 22,000 miles, and again at 43,000 miles which seems premature wearing of the brakes. The brakes were making scratching noises when applied, was taken in and told they are only 15% left. Why the promature wearing of the brakes??.

4 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 10/01/1999

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.

5 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 08/21/1999

I started having problems with the brakes and the air conditioner around the same time frame give or take a few weeks. The brakes started making a grinding noise when it was about two months old. I took it to the dealer the said they did a complete brake job on it. Since then it has been back to the dealer 5 other times due to brake noises that are still not repaired. My van also vibrates at speedso f 60 miles or faster, also it has had 3 front end alignments in less then six months. Then with my air conditioner they say the noise was normal that it was suppose to sound like it was going to fall out in the driveway when I turned it on, and when Nissan came out with a fix they would contact me. To this day they have not even looked at the air conditioner other then to check the belts on it. Both my brake and my air conditioner are still making noises. I have two friends that own Nissan vans and there vans do not have these problems.

6 Brake Disc problem

Excessive wear of the pads and rotors. Dealer has replaced pads and rotors three times, and problem has reoccurred.
