When you start driving the vehicle from a cold start it drives and shifts perfect. As soon as it reaches operating temperature it will slam when shifting gears. After 5 minutes or so it will not move. Shut the vehicle off for 15 to 20 minutes and I shifts and drives fine for a few more minutes then the same problems happen again.
My vehicle jumps at 35 miles per hour and makes a loud clicking noise from the timing chain .
Coming home from church with my family I was slowing down to make a turn at an intersection and van started jerking in the middle of the intersection and would not accelerate as I was crossing intersection. Serious safety issue for my family and others on the road. If Nissan wants to hold up their name and keep their customers, they need to recall these vehicles and repair them immediately before someone dies from their malfunctioning vehicles.
This is safety concern for me and my family. My Nissan Quest 2006 se when it down shifts does not accelerate. This problem is a serious risk for me and my family when we are on the interstate and then exit and wait at the signal the car does not move and just revs up with almost zero acceleration. I want Nissan to take this car back and provide me a replacement.
While driving on highway the van started to shake while applying the brake and then there was no power as the gas was pressed. The gas was to the floor and the max speed was 50 mph. The more you drove the worst it got. I am only talking driving approximately 15-20 mile. When you first start out it is not as bad, but it is absolutely not safe to drive nor am I willing to drive it anymore. I have read articles on this and it certainly seems like a common problem. Lets get it together Nissan!!!!! I really want to know if going import is worth it. I have a 2001 GMC with over 175,000 with no problems.
