1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2021

I just replaced all the motor mounts on my 2007 Nissan Quest. They have gone bad again. After looking up many forums online, this appears to be a very common issue and possible design flaw. Why has this not become a recall on Nissan's part? are motor mounts not a concern? everyone is stating that no matter what they use, either aftermarket or genuine Nissan parts, they all fail.

2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2016

At about 50,000 miles the engine started emitting a white smoke, I took to several certified mechanics and all of them said it needs an engine overhaul with no gurantee that the white smoke will disappear, the vehicle does not consume coolant or motor oil and has no head gasket engine damage.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

I have a problem with defective timing chain tensioning systems.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2016

Transmission jerks/slips between gears on daily basis. This just appeared in the spring and has been an ongoing/increasing problem since then. Have taken car to mechanic at least 3 times and asked for resolution. Mechanics have been unable to replicate or fix the problem. It is especially prevalent if take foot off gas, coast, then put foot on gas again. Sometimes the jerk is severe enough to affect the people sitting in the car. It seems like eventually the car will just not engage and I'll have to leave it on side of road.

Secondary timing chain is going out. 116,000 miles we should not have to replace this yet!!! we cannot drive the vehicle for fear of it messing up the entire engine. This is a $4,000 repair! many many many other Nissan owners are experiencing the same issue.

10 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Transmissions gear slips and jerks unexpectedly. You never know when it will jerk when accelerating. Will probably need to rebuild the whole transmission that will cost plenty. Also dangerous for my family to drive.

11 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2015

The pressure power steering hose develops a terrible leak. Eventually required a 1/2 bottle of ps fluid nearly every day! the problem is that the hose is "buried" behind the engine and extremely difficult to replace. A replacement hose is less than $100 but it takes multiple hours of pain and frustration to replace. This type of poor workmanship is totally unacceptable. The fact that it's so difficult to fix a known problem is unconscionable. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of consumers. The leaked caused steering issues on numerouse occasions. It never failed completely due to the fact that I carried a gallon jug of ps fluid with me everywhere I went. Now, not only did it take me forever to repair this item, my driveway is an eyesore. Power steering fluid is a very caustic product and does not clean up therefore it has destroyed my driveway. I¿m sorely disappointed.

Hi we were on way from niagara to harrisburg in our Nissan Quest 2007. There was no maintainence issue in my vehicle. I had a fuel filled at corning and on the way towards harrisburg on us-15 near to lawerenceville, my vehicle was on 65mph and suddenly the engine stopped and I pulled over to the shoulder. Luckily it got completely pulled over to the shoulder. The mechanic near toiga told me that the timing chain has snapped and has caused the engine damage and it is a known problem with the Nissan vehicle. Need your help to register the complaint.

14 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

While driving, the car suddenly loses power and comes to a stop. After several attempts to restart the engine I decided to check the mte and gas guage which both indicate there is plenty of gas to continue. I had the battery,alternator and starter checked and they were fine. So I decided to add more gas then shazam it started. Please inform if there's a recall or how to remedy the issue. Thanks.

16 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/26/2013

During regular oil change dealer advised lower "a" arm of suspension and left side engine mount were defective and needed change. I responded I had extended warranty go ahead. Dealer stated there was no extended warranty, I needed to pay cash first. I insisted the dealer send someone to the car a copy of the extended warranty was in the glove compartment. The dealer finally accepted there was an extended warranty. The anomaly is that the oil drain and filter are in immediate proximity to the suspension and engine mount and the defects were not detected during previous oil changes. It was only after the factory warranty expired the defects were found. The dealer expected no warranty existed and therefore cash would need to be paid. Cash payment for non-warranty is kept solely by the dealer. My concern is the defects were found while the vehicle was still under factory warranty and we were sent back out onto the highway in a defective vehicle waiting for the factory warranty to expire. There is a possibility dealers are sending dangerous cars back out onto the highway waiting for factory warranties to expire and not have to split repair fees with corporate.
