The electrical system failed that connected the radio, navigation system and back up camera around four to five months after receiving bill of sale. When parked or stopped the vehicle stalls by dimming of lights and making a kind of stalling sound. The windows sometimes tend to slowly wind up or down(electrical). My safety and that of others were put at risk because of the electrical issues and so the vehicle is notable to perform at the level it should. The vehicle was inspected by a certified auto mechanic and was confirmed that it was an electrical issue. No warning was detected that I am aware of.
This vehicle has hard take off from 0 to 10 mph. Acceleration not smooth at all.
I was traveling on the highway at night with my daughter and my two grandkids. When I noticed that the car started to stop and then got off the highway and came to a stoplight the car completely shut down. Everything completely went off the car would not start, the electrical system also went down there was no power anywhere in the vehicle. I then contacted Nissan consumer affairs and reported the issue. They advised me to take it into the Nissan dealer and have it diagnosed. While at the Nissan dealer the repairman there were three informed me that there had been a cvt malfunctioning issue with this type of vehicle. During the time that I was at Nissan having my vehicle diagnose, there were two other same make and model of my vehicle there for the same reason. And unfortunately for me this has been an ongoing issue and Nissan was aware of it. When this vehicle was manufactured they had several cvt issues. At one point they put out a notice to all of those affected for the recon. Once they realize the number of complaints they intern removed the notice from the online. And decided to handle it on a case by case, which now they are not repairing because they're making it a decision of their own and not as a recall. I've been having this issue for the last two years I would like Nissan to take ownership of the malfunctioning cvt that they placed in these vehicles. I have done my research and came across multiple hundreds of complaints about the same issue that people have posted online and Nissan needs to take responsibility for a faulty part that they placed in these vehicles. This is also a safety issue, because had my vehicle completely shut down on the highway as it did when I came to a stop light something majorly could have happened to both myself and my daughter and my grandkids we may not still be alive today.
I just paid my van off when I started having engine issues. At 120,000 codes read p1701 tcm wiring , p0746 pressure control solenoid , p1778 step motor , p0868 pressure control module . Is it the transmission the mechanic doesnt want to touch it just wants to change the tranny . I can not afford this. I am single mom is there not someone that can rebuild them properly ???? I bought a Nissan because I thought it would last longer. I have not driven the van in 6 months its a total loss if I spend the money and it happens again then I am putting good money after bad. It's not worth anything as a down payment if I have to tow it in. Has anyone got to the bottom of this??? how I found out is that I turned onto a busy street pushed the gas it wouldnt go. The car behind me had to drive upon the curve accident narrowly avoided. This sucks.
I was sitting at a red light when suddenly the engine started to rev very high. I pressed hard on the brake to prevent moving and turned the ignition off. I started it again and the same thing happened. The third time I tried the revving, while still higher than normal, was less. I was able to go to a parking lot and turn off the car to have it towed.
While driving in a local street, engine turned off. Had about 1/4 tank of gas left in tank. I don't know if it was due to going down hill. When engine turned off I was able to roll down the hill until I pulled over at a flat part of the road. I was able to turn minivan back on once I stopped and waited a few seconds. Incident happened again on 2/20/2012. Again, there was about 1/4 tank of gas left. Went over a major bridge and on the way down the engine turned off again. I was able to roll down to a flat surface. Car didn't turn on in my first attempt but did turn on second attempt about a minute later.
I was approaching a red light, applying brakes, so car was going about 2mph when it suddenly began shaking and rumbling. I was on a small down hill incline. The engine just cut off and the car did not allow me to press on the brakes any longer. The car continued rolling through the red light/ intersection when I applied the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. Put car in park and attempted restarting 4 times, but it would not allow me to press my foot on the brake in order to start the car. After 4 attempts, I was able to get the car to start. Fuel indicator told me I had 33 miles to empty. I drove another 10 miles and filled the gas.
As my wife drove our brand new Quest down a slope to make a left hand turn, the Quest died. She stopped the car and tried to restart it to no avail. When I arrived I had her attempt to start as I listened to the engine, it was turning and the car had power but it was acting like it had no fuel. The gauge showed a little over 1/4 tank. When the tow truck arrived he took us to a gas staton first, after fueling the car started. When I submitted it to the Quest dealership the service chief said this was the third time he's seen this happen in the past month! the fact that Nissan has clear evidence of a problem that can prove very, very, dangerous yet has not issued a recall is very disturbing. Please address, thank you.
I was driving down a moderate incline on low fuel when the engine stopped running. I was able to safely pull to the curb and restart the engine. I took the car into the Nissan dealership to be looked at and was told there were 3 other cars in line with the same problem. Nissan is well aware of the problem. I was then told not to let the fuel tank get below 1/2 tank.
My engine keep shutting off, it happened many times when my car's fuel down to less than 25% of tank or around 60 miles left, and the car downhill only. Example: I was pulling out my car out from drive way and down to street, it keep shutting off, or my car cutting fuel. Couldn't pull my car until my car put in ignition on and have someone to push to level on the street. Then my car can start on the engine. It was so dangerous, because the brake was off and engine was off, have someone to push the car. Also, I am afraid when I am driving on the road, if suddenly happen like that. I am not sure what to do. . . This is car always drive with the my kids.
