Transmission Not Engage Problems of Nissan Quest

The van began to sputter and seemingly misfire once shifted into gear. I suspected a case of clogged fuel injectors and pressed firmly with the throttle to clear the line of debris. The van then stalled in the intersection as I was making a left turn, the transmission disengaged itself and provided no gear resistance. Fortunately the timing of oncoming traffic allowed me to coast out of the intersection, using the downward grade of a nearby alley in order to exit the street. Inspection of the van revealed obd ii codes: p0500 and p0720. Further investigation revealed an existing recall for automobiles of this make, model and year, that exhibit the events I have encountered. I believe that recall:12v076000 recall date 02/29/2012 should be expanded to include my VIN due to the similarity of events encountered as well as the hazard thereby created. I am fortunate to have made it through the intersection without getting t-boned. Below are reference quotes and links that further describe the experience and illustrate the identical circumstances that prompted the existing recall. . Read more...

There are major problems with the shifter/transmission on my 2004 Nissan Quest van. The problems started a few years ago when parked on a slight incline and the van wouldn't shift into reverse. I called the dealership and they advised me to pull forcefully on the shifter to make it shift. It did shift but this has continued to be a common problem. After about a year of dealing with this, the shifter started to not engage in the correct position indicated on the dash and I would have to play around with it to get it to engage in the correct gear (it looked like it was in drive according to the base of the shifter, but was actually still in neutral). There were other symptoms such as having to push the shifter firmly in to park to remove the key. Fast forward to today and I finally discovered what has been happening. I went to shift in reverse on an incline and had to very forcefully pull the shifter into reverse. After doing so, the dash and the base of the shifter are mismatched by a whole gear.
