My battery keeps going dead if the van sits more then a day. I took it to a local mechanic but he could not find the problem. When I picked up my van the left side of the dash does not work. I looked up complaints on the computer and they are the same as mine. The ecm has rusted because of the placement in the van 2004 throught 2009 are in the same place. I called Nissan but the said they had no idea what I was talking about that I could not believe every thing I read on the internet. This is bad because now I can not get my van inspected because the dash does not work. I need my van to go to work. It cuts off for no reason. I cannot tell how much gas I have. I can tell how many miles I have that was the second thing that went. The first was the radio. They told me at Nissan that I had to take it to a Nissan mechanic but I can not afford $110. 00 an hour. This should be a recall because all 2004 to 2009 van are made this way and are have electrical problems. Please help.
Clarion audio, no sound. When the car was started. The vehicle the radio display and controls work properly but there is no sound coming from the speakers.
Radio/cd/dvd is on and displayed on the monitor however, no sound can be heard from speakers. The problem does not occur while driving but, after the motor has been turned off for a period of time. When this occurs, I've found if the engine is turned off and on several times the sound will work. The problem has no predictability. The dealer has not observed the problem yet. They did admit that there has been issues with the am however, this occurs with fm as I don't listen to am.
I have had nothing but problems, both big and small, with my brand new Nissan Quest se. I can almost deal with the sqeaks, rattles, broken buttons, broken lights, malfunctioning sensors, radio problems, and malfunctioning slider doors, but the problem I cannot accept is the failure of the car to run during damp or cold days. The car cranks and starts after a few attempts, but when it is put into drive it either lags as if it's running out of fuel, or dies completely. This has happened on at least 8 occassions, 2 of which I had to call a tow truck because I could not restart the car. Unfortunately, my dealership cannot replicate the problem so nothing has been done. Meanwhile, I never know if my car will run on these days, I have even been forced to walk down the street in below zero windchill temperatures with my children in order to get help. I purchased a new car to have safety and peace of mind, and instead I am losing sleep at night and asking Nissan to buy this car back. I will list the most recent occurrence on the form, but please note this has happened at least 8 times.
Radio/cd/dvd can be "on" but, no volume heard from speakers. Intermittent problem with no predictability. Dealer has observed, but cannot reproduce. Radio module replaced to no avail.
Radio fails to receive on the am band. Two trips to dealer required to resolve, with the second requiring extensive time online with Nissan technical support. Situation apparently rectified by adding a new ground on the radio circuit.
The automatic transmission will not down shift. When the consumer was pulling onto the freeway, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The cause of the failure was undetermined because dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. When the sun shined onto the dashboard, the reflection reflected onto the windshield and caused an obstruction and distraction to the driver's view. The correct model year 2004. From the park position, the consumer was unable to go up an incline. The transmission did not engage to low gear for the power to move up the hill. The consumer had to back down the hill. The radio would get static when going over bumps, and the driver's side lower panel was coming apart.
The interior lights illuminated as the automatic, rear passenger side door suddenly started to open. Vehicle also having problems with radio equipment being inoperative, windshield wipers , and transmission making a whining noise.
