Body problems of the 2008 Nissan Quest

The van started smoking and blew up 3 times.

I was driving on the expressway when the passenger sliding door track panel blew completely off and also shattered the covering of the rear passenger light cluster. I was able to return to the shoulder and recover the panel. I am amazed that it did not hit the windshield of a vehicle behind me.

While driving on a main highway, the right side rail cover fell off during the impact from driving over a pot hole. It was determined by my own repair facility that it was missing the only screw which holds the rail cover, along with 5-6 prongs. This screw belongs on a metal piece located behind the tail light. The lost rail cover was replaced along with the screw. If screw was there, part would of hung on. If rail cover had the screw, on high speed, it would of bent the metal part inside and most likely broken the tail light. The rail cover part that fell could have caused damage to other vehicles, hurt drivers and passengers or pedestrians.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Quest. The contact stated when opening the doors on the vehicle she would feel an electrical shock. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed there was nothing they could do about the failure. The failure continued to recur. The failure mileage was 7,120 and the current mileage was 38,000.
