Bought the 2004 Nissan Quest in January 2015,from a dealership other than Nissan, told vehicle is unsafe to drive,this is from a Nissan dealer,as when I contacted Nissan I had to take to an authorized Nissan place to have it diagnosed and send them the info,Nissan place said the subframe is rusted badly,if I were to hit a pothole,it could break and be in serious accident! he also said he would park it,I've only had it since January of this year,another mechanic also said that it was like that when bought as that doesn't happen in less than a year,contacted Nissan USA and was told pretty much not their problem.

11 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2015

My family's 2004 Nissan Quest spontaneously stalled while being driven on a total of five occasions since purchasing the vehicle on July 9th, 2015. The first incident occurred on about July 13th, 2015 in a parking lot while moving at a low speed of not more than ten miles an hour but every stalling incident since then was while the vehicle was being driven on roads at various speeds over ten miles and hour and under fifty miles an hour. When the vehicle is being driven before stalling there are no significant indications before hand to indicate that there is anything wrong with the vehicle except that on the last few occasions we have noticed that a second or two before stalling the check engine and slip lights glow. After stalling the vehicle restarts either on a first attempt or a second attempt. The vehicle does not stall every time it is driven either. Although I do not have any mechanical expertise, some online research into this matter suggests that on 2004 models, and fixed in later models, there may be an issue with corrosion to the ecm due to the placement of the module in a location that is subject to water intrusion.

12 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/22/2015

I was driving my van and I came to a stop on a hill and it wouldn't go, I had to push the pedal to the floor to go. And it won't go in reverse either. I had power problems years ago but turning my van off and back on 'fixed' the problem. Also the timing chain issue has been going on for years.

14 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2015

Had the vehicle since 2004 as the original owner. Vehicle has not been in an accident. Heard a loud clunk when driving after removing foot from brake and after going over bumps. Turned out the metal subframe of the vehicle has completely rusted out and separated from the frame of the vehicle. The steering crossarms and ball joint are loose because of this. It's a $4000 repair and car has only 120k miles. Had to get new car. Dealer said it's not safe to even drive and not worth fixing.
