Windshield Wiper/washer Problems of Nissan Quest

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.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that the vehicle's side electrical sliding door opens and closes automatically. The doors on the vehicle will also occasionally fail to open. The door will open so that a passenger may enter the vehicle, then the door will close before they are completely inside the vehicle. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer approximately six times and the dealer changed the sensors and readjusted the doors. The door continues to not work properly.

Windshield washers will not spray water onto the windshield when vehicle is moving. The water hits at the base of the windshield. Works fine while vehicle is not moving. Was traveling on interstate 70 when a truck sprayed slush onto the windshield. Was unable to wash the windshield. Had to pull off the highway in bad weather to clean the windshield.

The windshield wiper fluid sprayed too low, causing impaired vision. The cause has not yet to been determined. The dealer tried to correct the problem by replacing the nozzles but that did not correct the problem. The part has been replaced twice. The consumer believes the nozzle needs to be redesigned. The storage lid warped and as a result the lid is not flush with the dash.

Windshield washer spray too low, not hitting windshield high enough to do any good. Wipers not able to clean windshield at speeds above 45 mph.

Windshield washers on Nissan 2004 Quest are ineffective. The spray does not reach the glass at highway speeds. The dealer was unable to correct the problem. The dealer also confirmed the same models on their lot also had the problem. In addition, after a light snowfall, the dealer told me that they received 3 complaints from other owners. The dealer has notified Nissan.

Windshield wipers come on by themselves. Also, while driving the moulding that holds the windows in fell out. Consumer is afraid that the entire window may fall in on them while driving.

Windshield wiper system while in the "high" mode, makes a distracting noise which causes occupant not to use the high mode, but the medium mode which may cause visual diffculty. The wiper blade hits the side of the vehicle. Dealer said its the characteristic of the vehicle. Nissan corporation is calling it a design flaw. Also, when the vehicle is at a stop and the a/c system is on, the vehicle lurches forward when the idle changes, which may cause a crash. .

Rear wiper fails to move/return to proper position when using key on liftgate to open glass. Dealer charged ~$350 to replace motor.

Rear windshield washer failed.

This vehicle has numerous problems beginning with the brakes having to be changed multiple times; one occasion while driving on the expressway my passenger sliding door opened up resulting in me having to pull to the side of the road and close the door. When I first purchased the vehicle I would get in and start the car, the windshield wipers would go, the horn would blow and and the doors would lock; there was a terrible banging sound coming from what appeared to be the rear of the vehicle, but after 3 stops in the shop was identified as a bolt being loose in the stearing column, my gas pedal sticks and will all of a sudden release causing the vehicle to lunge forward; the rear bulbs all blew out in the rear of the van and melted the encasing surrounding the bulbs; during a rain storm the windows where in the down position and would not go up; the vehicle had to go into the dealer for them to pull them up; when you attempt to lock the doors the locks make a sound as if they are attempting to lock or unlock but do not, it takes several attempts to unlock the door whether inside or outside of the vehicle. . . Ultimately this vehicle has been a sincere disappointment that needs to be returned to the dealer, however my dealer has gone out of business and the new dealer will not take the vehicle back because it is not their responsibility. I have contacted Nissan about the vehicle but Nissan's response is to return the vehicle to the dealer for service. Nissan is not paying for a loaner car and I can't continue to take time from work to babysit a vehicle more than my children. . . This will be the last Nissan I own. I almost don't want to get rid of it because I don't want another unsuspected individual to purchase this nightmare on wheels.

The interior lights illuminated as the automatic, rear passenger side door suddenly started to open. Vehicle also having problems with radio equipment being inoperative, windshield wipers , and transmission making a whining noise.
