Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Nissan Quest - part 2

Consumer 2005 Nissan Quest continued to accelerate when brakes were depressed. The consumer managed to shift the vehicle into the park position. Then turned the key to off. The engine was still racing loudly before the consumer turned the key to the off position. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, however they were unable to duplicate the consumers concern.

Three days after purchasing my 2004 Nissan Quest the driver side window would not close, after 3 days at the dealer the problem was fixed only to happen a few months later. Today while driving 70 mph my van lost power causing me to pull to the side of a busy interstate. When I pressed the gas pedal the rpm's would go up, but there was no power. The van would not go over 20 mph. I contacted the dealer and was given a rental car. I have to wait until Monday morning for the service depatment to open. My van only has 26,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Quest. There have been several problems, such as unidentified noises that came from the rear of the vehicle. When applying brakes at red lights the car will respond by accelerating. When driving through turns or an intersection the car responded in third gear instead of first. The doors vibrated as if they will open by themselves. The vehicle has been to the dealer numerous times, which was most often deemed normal by the Nissan dealer. Also,the steering wheel made noises. This was discovered by Nissan after complaining three times, and a manufacturer's representative who duplicated the problem and found a broken plastic piece within the steering. This vehicle was under lemon law investigation. The dealer was unable to provide any explanations as to why these problems occurred. There have been multiple corrections, at least ten times. Recently there was a recall on the second row seats, but recall repairs could not be performed until December 2005.

I received the information about the settlement regarding the throttle body cleaning. I called my local dealer and 1-800-nissan1 to request a throttle body cleaning. My van currently has 80,000 miles on it. I have in my possession 2 invoices (1 at 52,000 miles and 1 at 70,000 miles) from the dealer showing where I took the vehicle in for service regarding this problem (and other things) and they did nothing about it. I was told (as others were) that it is maintenance and I chose not to have it done (or not to spend $150). I purchased the extended service agreement from the local dealer. At this point, I have been told that they will not perform a throttle body cleaning on my vehicle because it is out of warranty--even though I have proof from the dealer that I was having this problem and even though I bought the extended service agreement. My husband and I have owned 4 Nissans--we will never own another!.

Vehicle stopped with foot on brake. Without warning vehicle surged forward into rear end of vehicle in front. The idle was racing so fast that the brake was unable to hold the vehicle. Idle kept racing until the vehicle was shut off. When restarted the idle was back down. Car had been experiencing intermittently significant forward surges when the a/c compressor kicked on. The problem was reported to Nissan several times. All times the dealer advised that the technician could not reproduce the problem.

Throttle body assembly problem, petal gets stuck and considerable pressure is needed to move on.

Problem manifest itself as a "sticking" gas pedal. Thjis is a problem that could cause an accident. Informed that throttle body accumulates carbon. Is there any other information regarding this problem.

Accelerator increased on its own intermittently. Dealer replaced the throttle position sensor and the surges have stopped.

When outside temperature is over 90 degrees and vehicle has been sitting in sun, vehicle will allow gas to get to engine erratically and engine check light will come on, resulting in unpredictable deceleration. Consumer has taken vehice to dealer on numerous occasions, but was not able to diagnose the defect. Consumer took vehicle to another dealer who replaced throttle system sensor switch which did not corrected the defect.

The vehicle keeps accelerating at the same speed after the consumer has stopped pushing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle has been to the dealership five times, but the dealer is unable to correct the problem.
