Door Problems of Nissan Quest - part 2

The automatic power sliding door would not reopen as the passengers were getting into the vehicle. The door sensor failed to reopen the door. The vehicle had been to the dealer on four occasions and various repairs were made, but the problem recurred. The dealer suggested that there was no adjustment available for the automatic reversing mechanism. The consumer stated that the higher on the door one's arm, hand and shoulder would make contact, the harder it was to reverse the door.

I have a 2001 Nissan Quest, since I received the vehicle from the dealer in March of 2001,the driver side sliding door kept jamming anywhere from 1 to 3 days at a time, and would unlock at times while I was driving, the passenger sliding door window would pop open when you closed the door. I finally took the auto to westbury Nissan on 10/07/2002 regarding this problem while I was covered under the warranty,they charged me $23. 70 for the repair of the passenger side sliding door window which worked for only two weeks and I finally taped the lock shut. Now the drier side sliding door jammed again on 9/14/03 and this time the outside sliding door handle broke off in my hand. Dealer wants $300. To repair.

Rear and sliding doors have a recurrent rattle noise, taken to the dealer 4 times and still have problem, Nissan state that is a carateristic feature of vehicle, but I drove other van and did not notice the same problem, this is a lemon. They abuse or hide behind the "carateristic issue". I do not believe they can fix this problem.

When trying to open both sliding doors they would not open completely. Owner made contact with the dealership.

Vehicle locks automatically, without warning. The van has locked automatically both when the ignition was on, and when it was off. Also, when using the key to manually open the doors, it is difficult to get the doors open on the first try. This is on on-going problem. This is a dangerous condition, especially when one considers that the sale of minivans are primarily targeted to drivers with children.

Consumer states that while driving the sliding door will pop open even if door had been locked.

My kids were trapped in the car we had to bust out a window to get them out. The doors would not unlock even eith a key in the door or using the remote for keyless entry. This is not the first time this has happened, just the first time with my kids in the car. My kids are in car seats. Ages 2 and 5 months.

The power door locks on my 96 Nissan Quest have a mind of their own. The family calls them "crazy" and we have to make sure that we do not ever leave the vehicle without the keys in hand. I am retired and my wife and I baby sit some of our grandchildren, we pray that we don't forget about them "crazy" door locks while transporting the grand kids. I mentioned the problem to a local service rep. And he was well aware of the problem with the Quest van power door locks. He indicated that they had been unable to fix the problem even after replacing all the power door locks. This left me with the feeling that a root cause had not been found and perhaps I would be notified in the near future of a "recall" or service bulletin to help with my "crazy" power door locks. After just seeing the cbs report tonight, it is apparent that many other have this same problem, but have not let NHTSA know. I just spent over $500 to fix the air bag light from coming on, to replace the control module, now I am wondering if the power door locks problem may be another bad control module. Control modules that involve safety issues should be very reliable.

Doors will lock on their own without warning including when engine is running and no driver and/or passengers are inside. Dealer has replaced parts, but problem still exists and seems to be getting worse.

We have a 2000 Nissan Quest minivan. We have electronic remotes to lock/unlock the doors. Our 8 year old daughter, jenna, had her fingers accidently slammed in the front passenger door. Theresa, the mom, was inside the car & tried to open the front passenger door to free jenna's fingers. Every time theresa tried to open the door, all the doors on the van would lock & the lights would flash. Finally, tony, the dad, was able to open the door from the outside and free jenna's fingers.

Power door locks engage without the control being touched. This has happened both while driving, and while parked.

Recently saw a story on this on cbs news, son has been trapped in car, wife had to climb in through sunroof.

When going in or out of the vehicle all doors will automatically lock. Sometimes when getting out doors will lock before getting children out. A child crawled in, and doors locked. Consumer had to get key to let child out.

The vehicle locks the door automatically with no reason. This can happen even when the vehicle's engine is running. Also, if unlocking the vehicle by the remote keyless entry, the driver door will open. Upon pressing the "unlock" botton again to unlock all doors, all door will unlock and immediately all, including the driver's door will lock. Twice I had my car locked up on me while running in my garage. I am a proud father of a new infant. While trying to put the baby in the vehicle, what can I do if the doors lock on their own again? it will be a danger to my child's safety. Also, if you try to unlock the car with the unlock (electrical) botton, it sometime will not let you do so by automatically locking the car. This is a safety issue if we need to exit the vehicle in an emergency. Please review and advise.

The remote keyless entry system fails to keep the car locked or unlocked, the consumer must not use the key to unlock the door because it will disable the remote keyless entry system,the locks lock and inlock randomly while driving or parked.

Lock mechanism works improperly. For instance, when door is opened all of the doors would automatically lock. Consumer states while driving, locking mechanism will automatically lock on its own or, if out of the vehicle, or perhaps getting something, doors will automatically lock.

Door locks lock and unlock by themselves. When I walk to the otherside to remove my children, the doors will automatically lock under my hand. I have had my children locked in the van due to this malfunction, but fortunately was at my home. I have had it in for repair 3 times. First the dealership said they could not get the card to repeat the malfunction. I continued to complain and then the sliding door actuator was replaced with no resolution of problem. I took the van back and the drivers main lock and unlock switch was replaced and still to this day the vehicle has "possessed" locking system. The dealership said they can only now try to open the door panel and grease the contacts with a waterproof grease as they believe moisture may be shorting out the system, but they can give me no promise that this will fix the problem. I have spent a lot of time and money on this problem and I am absolutely terrified of locking my children in the car. The dealership said they have never had this problem before with the Quests, but my husband said he saw this on tv and that Nissan has no fix for the problem. I just want to know who I should get to fix this problem. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, cindy haist.
