My van had the red key warning light go on and smelled like electrical burning. I had it towed immediately to a Nissan dealer kelly Nissan lynnfield MA. They did check the bulletins until after test driving it twice and burning out the ignition coils they just replaced and burned out my catalytic converter (they put a new one on without reporting it) they were advised in writing not to do any work except replace the coils they said they burned out and only then at no cost to me. They replaced more than what was originally written, charged me and when they test drove it and ruined the converter it sucked up debris into the engine and destroyed my engine. Called corporate Nissan who said they could not help ( after they gave a 300. 00 coupon because of the deception prior to finding out about the damaged engine). It all started from a loose ground wire that caused the coils to overwork and burned out. I ended up paying about $900 for repairs because the misdiagnosed and damaged parts, now the engine is estimated at 6800. To replace. I m disabled and barely able to afford the roof over my head and food. This is unacceptable behavior, niss says the dealers are independantly owned, yet they l have the same maker. I kept the coils they put in however they removed a box with the first replaced ones and did to put them all back for me as instructed. I have two technicians one a Nissan tech who says it is directly due to kelly Nissan's misdiagnosis and driving of the car to the point of burning up the parts. What does a consumer need to do to protect themselves? the car is out of warranty. All parts except the converter they also kept and the initial coils I have. The van was towed to the shop I used and engine light came on immediately from first time driven still in dealer lot, they could to find problem although heard sound from engine and read the misfire codes until second look after it started pouring smoke out the exhaust and sound became so bad and car was deemed unsafe to drive.

Nissan Quest 2004 would not accelerate beyond 20 mph. Passenger side power door opened on its own; vehicle lost power on incline. The vehicle made a loud noise, but a bracket on the exhaust was fixed to correct the nosie.
My Nissan Quest (2004) has had multiple problems. The passenger door has been repaired 6 times and is still not functioning correctly. I have a terrible vibration upon accerleration. I now have a shaking sensation when braking, and my entire stero system is failing.
Mil light came on & flashes, there was no acceleration at all.

I purchased a 1997 Nissan Quest from bell Honda August 30,2003 at 9:30 pm. By 1:30 pm the next day (16 hours later) the check engine light was on and the back suspension sounded like it was 100 years old. The windshield washers did not function properly and it was monsoon season. The switch for power windows was not working, I had a brake light out, no sun visor, and no dash lights to illuminate my gauge cluster at night. All within 16 hours and 15. 5 of those hours it was sitting in my driveway not even being used. I drove it 5 minutes down the road when I bought it and then 8 minutes to the church the following morning, and then 15 minutes back to the dealership to report the problems. I asked for my trade in back and they refused. They placed my Quest in the shop and left it there for 10 days. Of which 2 of those days they did not even give me a loaner car knowing that the Quest was my only vehicle for me and my husband to go to and from work and take my daughter to school everyday 20 miles away. They contacted me and let me know the car was ready and had no problems and within 5 seconds of turning on the car and driving just a few feet I knew the car had not been fixed it was malfunctioning the same way. I asked them to refix and they told me they could not duplicate the problem. I then demanded to see the owner and asked yet again for my trade in back this was now the third time asking for it or my money. I met the owner some days later. He told me I could keep the Quest or he would put me in a new car. He never gave me a choice just threw another vehicle at me and even charged me more money to do it. I hate the new vehicle and will not drive it not to mention I am fearful of my safety as I do not trust this dealership nor their vehicles anymore. I just want my old car back or my money and never see this dealership again. I hope you post this loud and clear.

Weird electrical problems,I have taken to 2 different people, 1 of which specializes in transmissions, the problem is that when the vehicle is warmed up the transmission doesn't know what gear it is in, on initial investigation the problem appears to be the trottle position sensor but that was replaced and still no fix. They hooked up computers to the car while driving and say the computer doesn't read the tps being operative during driving but no problems can be found with the wiring and computer board. When the engine transmission starts to mess up the locks start to lock and unlock by themselves while driving, the check engine light is on and the overdrive light blinks off and on. At one time the air bag light come on for no reason it was checked and problem found. The sliding door latch broke within a couple of months of buying. The back windshield wiper motor would also come on by itself, we ended up taking the fuse out for that.

Dealership fixed lock problem, but then refused to fix alarm problem after car was paid for. They told me it wasn't their problem, and that it would cost me about $500. 00 to fix it. I couldn't afford to get it fixed right. Can you help me with this problem.
