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.

Steering wheel started shaking when I would press the brake. So took the van to my mechanic said my rotor needed replacing. While since then I had to replaced the front rotors five times. They keep getting bent. The steering wheel shaking stop with new rotors and start when rotors bend again. And yes the shaking is uncontrollable when it happens. Some one told me the Nissan sentra had that type of problem too.

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.

There is a vibration in the steering wheel of this vehicle, it is very noticeable when making a turn and the wheel is returning between the 11:00 and 1:00 position. Also when driving around town, speeds no more than 55 mph, the steering wheel will shake. Dealer has rotated and balanced tires, and match mounted. I went to goodyear and paid for them to do the same. The vibration still exist. I just picked the vehicle up from the dealer today,10/21/05, and the vibration is still there and I picked up the vehicle and the interior was full of grease, on the door and drivers side rug.
