37 Equipment problem of the 2005 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 05/15/2016

Had to replace complete transmission. Lack of power and no reverse. Based on research a huge percentage of Nissan Quest, Nissan maxima and Nissan altima from 2005 have this issue, and no recalls was issued nor Nissan dealer accountable for problem. Problem happened on the freeway, had lack of power, move to the side of the road and stop, put car in park, tried reverse gear, and was not working, tried drive gear and it moves forward but with very little power. Took it to the mechanic and and after several inspection he told me I needed to change the transmission.

41 Equipment problem of the 2016 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 03/30/2016

This vehicle has several manufacturing faults that threaten the safety of my family. Since the vehicle left the consession, according to new, we have not been able to safely use this vehicle since its transmission, suspension and front. These components have a vibration and crunch that does not allow safe use. Since then it has taken imnumerable times to repair for the same faults and they still persist. The Nissan has already been documented this claim and have ignored the safety risks involved in driving a vehicle that can be blocked transmission in the middle of the highway exposing the safety of my family and other drivers.

44 Equipment problem of the 2012 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 10/17/2015

Our ac quit working and we were informed that the ac lines had holes in them due to corrosion. This is absurd for a vehicle only three years old. Repair estimate is $1700 due to the fact that they have to drop the subframe in order to access the corroded lines. Clearly this is a vehicle defect and Nissan should take responsiblity for the substandard material used in these lines. We appear to be the second consumer reporting this issue on this site.

45 Equipment problem of the 2004 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 10/13/2015

Bought the 2004 Nissan Quest in January 2015,from a dealership other than Nissan, told vehicle is unsafe to drive,this is from a Nissan dealer,as when I contacted Nissan I had to take to an authorized Nissan place to have it diagnosed and send them the info,Nissan place said the subframe is rusted badly,if I were to hit a pothole,it could break and be in serious accident! he also said he would park it,I've only had it since January of this year,another mechanic also said that it was like that when bought as that doesn't happen in less than a year,contacted Nissan USA and was told pretty much not their problem.

46 Equipment problem of the 2004 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 07/13/2015

My family's 2004 Nissan Quest spontaneously stalled while being driven on a total of five occasions since purchasing the vehicle on July 9th, 2015. The first incident occurred on about July 13th, 2015 in a parking lot while moving at a low speed of not more than ten miles an hour but every stalling incident since then was while the vehicle was being driven on roads at various speeds over ten miles and hour and under fifty miles an hour. When the vehicle is being driven before stalling there are no significant indications before hand to indicate that there is anything wrong with the vehicle except that on the last few occasions we have noticed that a second or two before stalling the check engine and slip lights glow. After stalling the vehicle restarts either on a first attempt or a second attempt. The vehicle does not stall every time it is driven either. Although I do not have any mechanical expertise, some online research into this matter suggests that on 2004 models, and fixed in later models, there may be an issue with corrosion to the ecm due to the placement of the module in a location that is subject to water intrusion.

47 Equipment problem of the 2004 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 06/22/2015

I was driving my van and I came to a stop on a hill and it wouldn't go, I had to push the pedal to the floor to go. And it won't go in reverse either. I had power problems years ago but turning my van off and back on 'fixed' the problem. Also the timing chain issue has been going on for years.

48 Equipment problem of the 2006 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 06/04/2015

My 2006 Nissan Quest has bad jerking in the transmission when the gears change. It does this when it both gearing up and shifting down at any speed. The jerking is very bad when also coming from reverse to drive. This is a safety concern for me and my family because if it gives out on the expressway, it could cause an accident and that puts my family including my baby in danger. Also if I am stranded on the side of the road with my child in extreme heat or cold this also puts my child in danger. This transmission needs to be recalled seeing is how I am not the only one with the complaint.

49 Equipment problem of the 2009 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 06/01/2015

Had the vehicle since 2004 as the original owner. Vehicle has not been in an accident. Heard a loud clunk when driving after removing foot from brake and after going over bumps.

It's a $4000 repair and car has only 120k miles. Had to get new car. Dealer said it's not safe to even drive and not worth fixing.

61 Equipment problem of the 2001 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 07/16/2014

The main engine support frame member to which the bottom-forward motor mount is attached rusted completely free where it attaches at the area under the radiator. This caused the entire engine to drop. The vehicle is no longer driveable. Repair requires extensive structural work. There was no indication of a problem in advance of the incident. The vehicle had been service regularly. The compromised area was not previously visible as it is concealed by a splash guard. This is an extremely unsafe condition, especially when travelling at speed, due to potential for loss of control resulting from compromised steering, braking and other systems. Nissan has not issued any bulletins, recalls for inspection, or other communication regarding this issue. A brief internet search produces numerous complaints about the same problem. Many of the complaints state Nissan has been unresponsive to complaints.

62 Equipment problem of the 2007 Nissan Quest

Failure Date: 06/06/2014

Our tire went flat. We found out a "special" dealer had to repair/replace the tire & there was no spare due to us having "run-flat" (michelin pax) tires. We got a list of the only 3 dealers around our area that are certified for these tires but when we called them they tell us these tires have been discontinued. No big deal except we find out this ru-flat tire is the only tire that can fit on this rim!! & this rim is the only rim that can fit on this van!! what!!!!!!!!!!! so I have a flat tire & now my van is immobile & irreparable!.
