Cruise Control Problems of Nissan Quest

Back on July as I was on the hwy, set my cruise control, for the first time since I've owned my Nissan, at 55mph, the speedometer stopped working, my right headlight went out. Now ever since then, it has gotten worse, I have replaced the right headlight 3 times . I've noticed that when I grab the handle of the turn signal it crackles, and causes the headlights to flicker, and the odometer doesn't work when the speed control is on zero while driving.

It is in the shop right now for issues with handling, the liftgate arm coming out of the door, abs, slip, traction lights are on all the time, cruise control is inoperable, rear wiper assembly has broken for the second time, front washer fluid is not working. Most notably are the issues with the liftgate and handling. We took the vehicle into the dealer several months ago for both issues. Our liftgate would never open on the first try. They checked into it and kept the vehicle for several days. We were given a rental and told they would pay for it and in the end they charged our credit card for it. They had a tech from Nissan fly out to look at it. They informed us that they were waiting on parts. We picked up the vehicle and never heard from them again. The other day I went out to open the door. It had pulled the molding loose and I could see metal shavings at the end of the strut. We have had it in with complaints about the handling before. We suspected that the rotors were to blame. Every time we brought this up we were told that wasn't the case. We were told to replace the brakes to solve the issue. We then replaced all four tires. Nothing has solved the problem. When driving on the highway the steering wheel shakes and the vehicle shudders when the brakes are applied. It has been doing this since approximately 15,000 miles. The ac blow hot if you sit for more than a few minutes with the engine running. If you rev the engine, it just blows hotter. You have to drive around for several minutes to get the ac to blow cold again. We are less than happy with Nissan's customer service. We have called them several times and emailed and have had no resolution on any complaint. We have been told by them that a rep will call us and it has never happened.

: the contact stated while driving with the cruise control set at 70 mph the vehicle began to suddenly accelerate. The contact attempted to stop the acceleration and deactivated the cruise control by applying firm brake pressure, but the vehicle did not respond . Although the cruise control light that normally illuminated when in use turned off,the vehicle remained at a highway speed in spite of the brake pressure the contact continued to enforce. When the vehicle did not stop nor slow down the contact engaged the emergency brake which slowed the vehicle enough so the contact could pull over to the side of the road and shut off the engine. The contact allowed the engine to rest for a period of time , and inspected underneath the hood. Upon inspection the problem could not be determined but a strong odor was detected. The odor smelled as if something had overheated. Afterwards,the engine was restarted and the vehicle continued to be driven normally. There have been no further problems, but the cruise control has not been engaged since the incident. The vehicle has not been seen by a dealer.

While driving home from getting our winter tires changed over to summer, my husband noticed a revving in the engine even though he did not have his foot on the gas. He did manage to get the van home before any accident occurred, however when he was in the driveway the engine revved up to as far as it would go without anyone touching anything. It was taken to Nissan garage and found that the cruise control cable had snapped and required replacement. If this had happened while he was driving on the highway I hate to think of what would have happened.

When cruise control is activated, it does not always turn off when the brakes are applied or cancel switch is pushed. If I have cruise set at 65 and approach and intersection or object in the road or lower speed zone, and apply the brakes but then press the accelerator to continue at a lower speed (45), the accelerator will go down on its own and the van will accelerate on its own till it hits the 65 mph that was originally set on the cruise. This occured 3 out of the last 5 times the cruise control was used. I had to quicly apply brakes again when I noticed this happening to avoid child in road and the back passenger was injured slightly on the head when this happened. The problem was reported to Nissan who replied that it may not be on warranty, but when taken to the dealer and discussed, I had to pay the 50 dollar copay on a 54 dollar repair. I have not tried to use the cruise contol since being serviced.
