The control arms on the vehicle malfunctioned and had to be replaced. I typically lost control of steering causing the vehicle to jerk in one direction or the other. This was repaired almost a year ago. I had the vehicle serviced at a independent service center. It could have possible caused an accident had I not been able to counteract the loss of steering. I am currently experiencing this same issue again and was notified in may 2023 that the control arms have once again malfunctioned. There are no warning lights for this issue, I noticed it when the car seemed to need a front end alignment but once I took it to the shop they confirmed that the control arms had malfunctioned. I researched this issue and saw that there was a recall of these exact same parts for 2016 Nissan Quest vehicles used as emergency vehicles. I am concerned that this is some sort of on going issue, that is costing $1600 + on every repair.

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.
1. Vechicle run out of gas even though it showed it had 1/4 tank and displayed 24 miles before empty. Was stuck in the middle of high speed traffic without any warning. 2. Vechicle vibrates when driving 40 miles seem to be defective transmition. 3. Vechicle as loud noise coming from timing chain area . According to mechanic this is a costly and known issue with Nissans. Where timing chain guide as permature ware causing time chain to become loose and cuase noise could become a safety issue.
My Nissan Quest has a front end suspension problem. When I'm driving and hit a bump on drivers side it pulls my wheel to the left and rattles very bad. I was looking online and seen that there is a recall on some 2007 Nissan Quest that explains exactly what is happening to mine. I called and they told me I don't have any recalls under my VIN . I got it checked and the guy said he could not see anything wrong with it. The recall is for a bolt in the front suspension to hold it to the frame. It says that some of the vehicles suspension bolt my not be torqued properly. So if possible please look into this because I don't want my front wheel to fall off while driving. Thank you!.
I being having this problem a couple months already. Everytime that I drive my Nissan Quest for a while the gears start slipping. Before and after I make a stop it's like somebody hit me in the back.

During regular oil change dealer advised lower "a" arm of suspension and left side engine mount were defective and needed change. I responded I had extended warranty go ahead. Dealer stated there was no extended warranty, I needed to pay cash first. I insisted the dealer send someone to the car a copy of the extended warranty was in the glove compartment. The dealer finally accepted there was an extended warranty. The anomaly is that the oil drain and filter are in immediate proximity to the suspension and engine mount and the defects were not detected during previous oil changes. It was only after the factory warranty expired the defects were found. The dealer expected no warranty existed and therefore cash would need to be paid. Cash payment for non-warranty is kept solely by the dealer. My concern is the defects were found while the vehicle was still under factory warranty and we were sent back out onto the highway in a defective vehicle waiting for the factory warranty to expire. There is a possibility dealers are sending dangerous cars back out onto the highway waiting for factory warranties to expire and not have to split repair fees with corporate.
My vehicle was t-boned on the left driver side. The front quarter panel and rear quarter panel was damaged. The left wheel and tire rod was replaced. The tires were replaced but every since this accident I have had severe issues with my front end steering and rattling noice. I cannot drive over bumps without my front end feeling like it shifts and I cannot turn curves over 20 mph or else it begins to shake extremely bad. I have had mutiple work done and it keeps doing the same thing. It is definitely not safe to continue driving with my kids in it but its all I have. I cannot exceed 30 mph on a straight way without the vehicle shaking vigorously.
There is a loud, annoying and dangerous rattling sound coming from the motor. Based on what seems like hundreds of thousands of complaints and many opinions from very experienced mechanics, it is the timing chain - the whole thing- from the chain, tensioners and everything associated with the entire timing chain mechanism. This is absurdly annoying, extremely dangerous and outrageously labor intensive and expensive to fix. I, like so many others out there, put my family in this vehicle on a daily basis and have to wonder just how safe this thing is. What happens if the chain breaks? what happens if it breaks while on a major highway? I just had my family to florida this summer - can't imagine that scenario. Obviously, this problem exists absolutely everywhere with this vehicle.
Have a 2005 Nissan Quest. There is visible shaking of the steering wheel at varying driving speeds and road conditions including driving in the highway. The shaking of the steering wheel is transferred to the hand that causes severe wrist pain while driving.

While driving 45 mph, the consumer heard a loud knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle. Suddenly, the vehicle vibrated uncontrollably.
I have had to change my headlights repeatedly (going on 3rd time) and my tail light (1 time). In addition, I have problems with my accelerator pedal; it seems to stick, until I apply enough pressure then it takes off abruptly fast, had these same problems (with replacing head and tail lights and accelerator) when I had my 1993 Nissan Quest, but dismissed them. Now I see a correlation with the 2000 Quest I have now. The low profile of my Quest caused my transmission pan to leak fluid, because of a dip in the road. Constant problems when parking due to the front end of my Quest being too low and scraping the curb. Problem with heating system in the rear, only blows out cold air regardless of setting it to heat. There is a very strong gas smell when my car is running (this was also experienced in my 1993 Quest) only compact incident was when my tranmission pan cracked going down the street and going down a dip in the road (not a pot hole). Other than these things I have been very pleased with my purchases, very reliable but these are a few things I've noticed and hope that you will consider my concerns to further be investigated.

Vibration felt in front end and pulling to left. Steering wheel shook and was difficult to control over 55 mph. Serviced several times at dealer. Mechanic could not reproduce the problem. Stated it could be the tires. Had tires aligned and rotated, no change. Bought new tires, still no change. Foul odor smells like sulfur. Dealer stated it is from the cheap gas purchased from military installation gas stations. Drove vehicle until almost empty then fill tank at shell station. Foul odor returned when fuel was at 1\2 tank. Hard start upon ignition sounds like metal rubbing against metal. Air conditioner very loud and noisy. Dealer found to be normal. Side window latch popped open when door closed and after hitting a bump. Sliding door stuck sometimes very difficult to open.

Both rear struts and the left front strut was leaking. The vehichle felt soft, bouncy, and shakey. The brakes grabbed and were noisy. The front end was out of alignment. The radio's buttons did not light. The consumer requested a refund or a re-purchase of the vehicle. Scc.
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.
