general problems of the 2006 Nissan Quest

Crank position sensor won't start after sitting stationary after it ran and stopped its intermediate.

The traction control system (tcs) of the vehicle has a manufacturer defect. While driving the vehicle suddenly slowed down and then shut down. The vehicle dragged and slipped from side to side. The problem is unique to Nissan, particularly Quest, but Nissan is not willing to fix it. The tcs light and the slip light came on and a sudden jack brought the vehicle to a halt. The "service engine soon" light came on though the car was serviced just the month before and we have not been using it because the fuel gauge and odometer were not displaying fully/properly. Nissan has a responsibility to replace the traction control system in the 2006 and earlier models of the Quest. The fuel gauge and odometer problem became a problem in Quest once the vehicle reaches 70,0000km/miles, and by then the warranty would have lapsed. Nissan fixed this manufacturer's problem in 2007 and as such the problem does not afflict models since 2007. My Quest starting exhibiting this problem when the odometer reached 71,000. Now the odometer and the fuel gauge no longer appear fully and it is very difficult to tell how much gas you have and you cannot read the mileage on the vehicle clearly. Nissan has an obligation and duty to fix the odometers and fuel gauge of the subsequent models.

I was pulling into a partking lot and I started to smell something. I thought it was in the air but then I noticed that there was smoke coming from under my front hood. I immediately pulled over, got out of the van and saw smoke then fire coming from under the hood. I moved quite a distance away and call 911 as I was standing looking at the van, I saw something dripping with fire from the right passenger front end. Car was toast. It burned immediately. No warning sign, engine light alert nothing . . . Very scarey!! will not buy another Quest.

2006 Nissan Quest purchsased brand new from Nissan dealership in thousand oaks, CA in 2007. With 68k miles on it, it's falling apart. Timing chain is shot, a-arm bushings cracked, front engine mount cracked, abs switch failed was replaced. Contacted Nissan consumer affairs nam, they wouldn't help me. The timing chain is a known issue wth Nissan. They issued a service bulletin in December of 2009 for the Quest, maxima, altima. It's just too soon in this vehicles lifecycle to have these issues.

Nissan Quest 2006 sl 40,000 miles my shift lever stuck in park even though I am pressing the brakes and they told me at the dealer to use a screwdriver to override the shift which I think is a hazard or to replace the total shift. But I told them its a manufacture defect and they have to pay for it. Also like to mention that they have a very bad customer service. This is my 2nd car with Nissan I use to have the 1999 Quest. But I will never buy Nissan cars any more.

We have a 2006 Nissan Quest with 85,000 miles on it. For a while we have been hearing a whine when we accelorate. We have been told that we will need to replace the timing chain for about $2,700. When I started to research this it seems like this a common enough issue that it needs to be looked into. Timing chains should not have any issues till atleast 200,000 miles.
