Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Nissan common problem is the break sensor switch.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

The vehicle was stalling multiple times on the freeway on my way to work this morning (9/25/19) and there is a sudden thump on the engine as it was trying to accelerate and would stall again after a few yards. So I decided to pullover safely and started the vehicle again until I reached my destination but with emergency lights on. This is absolutely a safety issue as it increases the risk of a crash or being hit from behind, with the vehicle stalling. This is the 2nd Nissan Quest I owned and it is having the same problem. The 1st one had issues at 50,000+ miles. The manufacture should look into this safety issue.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

Fuel guage doesn't show amount of gas in tank. I put gas often as possible even though at times it doesn't needs much. The odometer function on and one doesn't know what mileage on vehicle. . Engine light comes on even when all check shows vehicle service is ok caused from computer malfunctions.

Electronic Stability Control problem #4

The spedometer and the lights for it don't work got pulled over and told I had a fake inspection because of them not working can't get an exact reading on my mileage,fuel or if the vans over heating I can't tell how fast or slow I'm going.

Electronic Stability Control problem #5

Electronic Stability Control problem #6

"takata recall". Safety and performance is needed on brakes electric is issue. Brakes seems very ware and . . . . . .

Electronic Stability Control problem #7

The traction control system (tcs) of the vehicle has a manufacturer defect. While driving the vehicle suddenly slowed down and then shut down. The vehicle dragged and slipped from side to side. The problem is unique to Nissan, particularly Quest, but Nissan is not willing to fix it. The tcs light and the slip light came on and a sudden jack brought the vehicle to a halt. The "service engine soon" light came on though the car was serviced just the month before and we have not been using it because the fuel gauge and odometer were not displaying fully/properly. Nissan has a responsibility to replace the traction control system in the 2006 and earlier models of the Quest. The fuel gauge and odometer problem became a problem in Quest once the vehicle reaches 70,0000km/miles, and by then the warranty would have lapsed. Nissan fixed this manufacturer's problem in 2007 and as such the problem does not afflict models since 2007. My Quest starting exhibiting this problem when the odometer reached 71,000. Now the odometer and the fuel gauge no longer appear fully and it is very difficult to tell how much gas you have and you cannot read the mileage on the vehicle clearly. Nissan has an obligation and duty to fix the odometers and fuel gauge of the subsequent models.

Electronic Stability Control problem #8

The brake, abs, service engine light is showing on the dash and will not go out. I just had brakes and rotors put on this vehicle. I was traveling on the highway and the vehicle just shut down. I was able to pull off to the shoulder safely. The vehicle at first would crank but not start. After a few minutes, I was able to start vehicle. Now the engine runs rough and it hesitates on acceleration.

Electronic Stability Control problem #10

This fuel gauge left me inside of the road first day of school for 3 kids. . Now it has a slow oil leak that the mechanics can't seem to find.

Electronic Stability Control problem #11

While driving the slip and tcs warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel as the car suddenly shuts off. It recurred several times. The vehicle was diagnosed by autozone and reads error code p0340. As a result the camshaft sensor was replaced but the problem still exists.

Door flew open while driving on the freeway. Also when closing does not stop if someone is in the way. Caught my four yr old daughter's leg and shut on it. Tire pressure light constantly comes on even when tires are completely aired up. Back rear door does not always open whether button inside van or remote key is pushed. Has to forcefully be opened and shut. Sometimes will slam shut and it has fallen on my back before. Many electrical functions within the dash and console do not always work or register.

Electronic Stability Control problem #15

The rattling noise began at 45,000 miles. When I accelerate, a rattling chain sound is heard from the engine area. I currently have 50,000 miles on my 2007 Nissan Quest. It has to be replaced or it will eventually do damage to the engine. It's an 8 hr process. It's estimated at $1800 for the repair. The timing chain needs to be replaced and there's no recall. There is a repair bulletin out but no recall. The speedometer reads 20-25mph when it's at "parked" and sometimes when the engine is turned off. I am driving 60mph on a local road and 100mph on the freeway. The rear blower turns on by itself when I turn on the engine. I have to shut off the engine and the blower turns off. The front blower is off during the entire time. These are repairs that have been experienced by other owners and yet there's no recall, only service bulletins.

Electronic Stability Control problem #16

Within 6 months of purchase of this vehicle I have been having severe safety issues on this vehicle. It initially started out as an intermittent problem which took quite some time to replicate since a specific chain of events had to be followed. But since then, the problem can be replicated at will but again its based on a sequence of events and road conditions. The steering wheel vibrates horribly and there is a loud rumbling noise. The car is difficult to handle once this vibration starts. It feels as if the car has a flat tire or the axle has been severely damaged thus impairing steering control. May 20th 2010 was the first time I had the issue with the Quest while I was on IL interstate 57. Sept, 11 2010 is when this happened again while I was headed to florida. Oct. 4th, 2010 it happened again on florida interstate 275. It continued to occur repeatedly. I reported this problem to Nissan on July,18th, 2011 with 31,573 miles on the van. The Nissan folks drove 189 miles but could not duplicate issue. On Jan. 2, they tried but could not duplicate issue Feb. 1st, 2012 the service manager and I drove 200 miles in order to replicate it. We noticed that the vdc light came on. The guessing game on the Nissan side continued. They replaced the abs system stop lamp switch, and other abs related items. Once they handed us the vehicle stating that the issue was fixed, we took it on a test drive and were able to recreate the problem. May 29, 2012 I took Quest back in but could not duplicate issue while the Nissan folks took it out on a test drive. On June 18, the service manager and I went on another 200 miles road trip and I was able to duplicate the problem. This time they blamed the wheel bearings to be the cause so they replaced that but again that was not the culprit as I was able to replicate the problem when I took it on a test drive once Nissan handed me the vehicle.

Electronic Stability Control problem #17

I bought a Nissan Quest 2004 van from broad street Honda dealer at richmond it has serious door problem which was not locking completely and it is obviously not save for my three children. I took the van to them and the don't want to fix the problem even it is under their warranty for 3000 mile or three months even I also bought from them an extended warranty but it is useless they said even I paid 14000 dollars of it. They simply want me to give the car to them bellow the price I bought from them. I believe it is fraud a clear fraud. Please help me.

Electronic Stability Control problem #18

2004 Nissan Quest le has had the "vdc off" warning light come on periodically while driving for the past 2 months, with increasing frequency. Vdc is the vehicle dynamic control system designed to assist driver with control and stability of vehicle during slips or swerves while driving. Dealer had difficulty diagnosing the problem but a recent visit on 7/28/08 presented me with an expensive replacement of the abs actuator. Dealer surmised that when I said we were being followed in traffic last week and were told we had no brake lights, that was a result of the vdc off indicator light coming on. Although I am not yet aware of additional safety hazards, the lack of brake lights seems significant. Consultation to the owners manual for advice on vdc off warning light gave absolutely no indication of the brake light failure as a result.
