2005 Nissan Quest Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact drove over a pothole and the air bags were inadvertently deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

TIMING CHAIN ISSUES . HAD IT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME AND IT SEEMS IT'S STILL HAS PROBLEMS. LAST REPAIR WAS DUE TO BROKEN GUIDE AND AND BROKEN TENSIONERS. AM WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

SITTING IN A DRIVE THROUGH BREAK ON IN DRIVE CAR REVS UP TO ABOUT 70MPHS. I PUT IN PARK AS ITS MOVONG FORWARD TO NEARLY MISS A CAR INFRONT OF ME AND I TURN THE CAR OFF. NOW BREAK COMPRESS TO THE FLOOR.

CADENA DEL TIENPO ASE RUIDO FUERTE

FUEL GUAGE DOESN'T SHOW AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK. I PUT GAS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE EVEN THOUGH AT TIMES IT DOESN'T NEEDS MUCH. THE ODOMETER FUNCTION ON AND ONE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MILEAGE ON VEHICLE. . ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN ALL CHECK SHOWS VEHICLE SERVICE IS OK CAUSED FROM COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS.

TIMINIG CHAIN IS VERY LOUD AND NEEDS TO REPLACED AT ONLY 141K

I WAS DRIVING TO THE DOCTOR WHEN MY VAN LOST ALL POWER IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC ALL MODE GOT HIT BY A TRUCK IN THE REAR END. DO NOT WHAT HAPPENED JUST KNOW IT IS DOWN .CAR HAS NO POWER WILL NOT PULL OUT OR DRIVEWAY

THE VAN TURNS ON BUT IT LOSES SPEED WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS VERY HARD TO MAKE IT ACCELERATE ONCE IT COMES TO A STOP, THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T. NOW THEY THINK IT IS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH COMPUTER

WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE, THERE IS ALMOST NO POWER. I PULLED INTO A CAR DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT SOME USED CARS. THE VAN'S ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN DRIVE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, WE MOVED FORWARD VERY SLOWLY. LOW AND OVER DRIVE WERE NO BETTER, BUT REVERSE SEEMED FINE. FORWARD GEARS HAVE VERY LITTLE POWER.

CAR STARTED THROWING OUT SERVICE ENGINE CODES AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO ANY OTHER GEARS AND IS HAVING TROUBLE SPEEDING UP PAST 15 MILES PER HOUR. STARTED AY 114342 MILES. OCCURRED AFTER A CLUNK SOUND WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND HAD A HARD TIME MAKING IT UP THE HILL TO OUR HOME.

HAD TO REPLACE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. LACK OF POWER AND NO REVERSE. BASED ON RESEARCH A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF NISSAN QUEST, NISSAN MAXIMA AND NISSAN ALTIMA FROM 2005 HAVE THIS ISSUE, AND NO RECALLS WAS ISSUED NOR NISSAN DEALER ACCOUNTABLE FOR PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, HAD LACK OF POWER, MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP, PUT CAR IN PARK, TRIED REVERSE GEAR, AND WAS NOT WORKING, TRIED DRIVE GEAR AND IT MOVES FORWARD BUT WITH VERY LITTLE POWER. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND AND AFTER SEVERAL INSPECTION HE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION.

FUEL GUAGE-ODOMETER DISPLAY-TEMPETURE DISPLAY WANT READ CORRECT------THIS IS CAUSING A PROBLEM OF NEVER KNOWING IF THE CAR IS HOT OR RUNNING OUT OF GAS.I NEED TO KNOW HOW FAR I HAVE DRIVEN IN ORDER TO CHANGE MY OIL!! DRIVING OR SITTING STILL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE CENTER MANY TIMES FOR A LOSS OF POWER. THEY HAD ME REPLACE THE ECU, WHICH HAD TO BE PROGRAMMED, THEN THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I BOUGHT ALL THREE OF THOSE. AFTER THAT IT NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED FOR THE AIR/FUEL RATIO. STILL RAN THE SAME. I BROUGHT IT INTO A DIFFERENT SHOP, THEY SAID IT HAD A BAD THROTTLE. MY BROTHER HAD ONE I HAD PUT IN BUT STILL NO POWER, AND HESITATION AT ACCELERATION AND UP HILLS, AND MISFIRES AND BACKFIRES A LOT. ONE OF THE CODES THEY FOUND FOR ME WAS A TIMING ISSUE. MY BROTHER HAS SAME VAN TOLD ME HE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. I'VE HEARD A RATTLING AND WHINING NOISE FROM TIMING AREA, SO I LOOKED INTO THIS FURTHER. BACK IN 2004 NISSAN ISSUED A TSB REGARDING THIS ISSUE TELLING TECHNICIANS TO MAKE A "GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT" TO PUSH BACK REPAIRS OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE LEARNING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN SHOULD IT FAIL. I DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THAT VAN AND BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. APPARENTLY NOT. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS EVEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. I CURRENTLY AWAIT TO HEAR FROM A SUPERVISOR TO GIVE THEM AN EARFUL AND TO FIND OUT THE REASONS WHY IT WILL NOT BE FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IF CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH WE TRAVEL ALMOST EVERY DAY), THIS WOULD LEAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY CRIPPLED AND UNABLE TO STEER OUT OF THE WAY OF ANY DANGER. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED IF NOT KILLED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT FROM THIS IF NOT ALREADY. IT'S A SHAME NISSAN DOESN'T SEE THE VALUE OF POTENTIALLY SAVING ITS CUSTOMERS LIVES VS. THE COST OF MAKING NECESSARY REPAIRS. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'LL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN.

NOISE, VIBRATION AND SOUNDS INDICATING IMMINENT FAILURE OF ONE OR MORE VALVETRAIN COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE'S 3.5L V6 ENGINE. PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO NISSAN; ADDRESSED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2004. COMPANY FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT, WHICH CONSISTS OF PREMATURE FAILURE OF TIMING CHAIN AND/OR VALVETRAIN COMPONENTS, INCLUDING VARIABLE VALVE TIMING MODULE AND PARTS. THE PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY THE SUBJECT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

THE ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE. DEALER SAYS TIMING CHAIN GUIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT A COST OF $1700. THEY ALSO ASKED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT MAY CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND ALSO ENGINE DAMAGE

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST WENT OUT WHILE ON VACATION IN NORTH CAROLINA FROM OUT OF STATE IN JUNE OF 2015. JUST REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN TODAY 12/16/15 AM LOSING FAITH ON NISSANS RELIABILITY.

WHEN PUT IN GEAR OR STOP AND GO JERKS VERY HARD AND SOME TIMES DON'T WANT TO GO.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN WENT OFF, THEN ON AGAIN. THE CODE READ THAT THE AIR BAGS WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG WAS SHORTED OUT.

THE 2005 NISSAN QUEST SE HAS SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH MOTOR MOUNTS AND THEIR FAULTY DESIGN WHICH RESULTED IN A VEHICLE CRASH. MY WIFE WENT TO THE DOLLAR STORE,THIS BEING ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE REPLACED, SHE GOT IN AND STARTED TO BACK OUT AS SHE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO 3000 RPM AND THEN JAMMED THE TRANSMISSION INTO GEAR CAUSING IT TO JERK THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY AND BARK THE TIRES THE ENGINE IS SO QUIET YOU CANNOT HEAR IF THIS IS HAPPENING IT PROPELLED THE VEHICLE RIGHT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED ALL THE WAY IN THE PARKING SPACES BEHIND HER COSTING US 2000 DOLLARS TO PAY FOR VEHICLE DAMAGE THERE COULD HAD BEEN PEDESTRIANS AROUND WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND KILLED THERE IS OVER 30000 COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I URGE YOU TO PLEASE MAKE NISSAN FIX THE DEFECTIVE MOTOR MOUNTS PROBLEMS THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIDENCE ON THIS OUR MOTOR MOUNTS NOW HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY 4 MONTHS BECAUSE THEY KEEP GOING BAD COSTING 1200 DOLLARS EACH TIME THEY ARE A BAD DESIGN AND IS URGENT TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THEY HELP CONTROL TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED MISSING GEARS AND WAS STALLING. MY WIFE USES THE VAN FOR SCHOOL AND DROP THE BABY TO DAYCARE. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS A MUFFLER, I FIXED THAT AND THE ISSUE WAS STILL THERE. THEY THEN TOLD ME IT NEED A TUNE UP COSTING $650. DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. AND UNNECESSARY SINCE I ALWAYS DO OIL CHANGES. HAD A TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOK AT IT AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS NEUTRALIZING. CAR WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. NISSAN HAD 2 LAW SUITS AGAINST THEM FOR PREMATURE MALFUNCTION TO THEIR TRANSMISSION AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I SPENT $3000.00 TO GET MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND THE ISSUE IS STILL HERE. PLEASE HELP THE CONSUMERS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES IN AND OUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, TEMP, TURNING SIGNALS, RPMS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE NECESSARY TO DRIVE SAFELY. SOMETIMES WHILE THE PANEL COMES BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY IT ENABLES THE OVERDRIVE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO JOLT WHILE DRIVING. DURING RESEARCH I FOUND THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND DEALERS QUOTING THEM IN THE 700- THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND A FREE REPAIR AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S AFFECTING TOO MANY VEHICLES.

THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES (TEFLON BASED MATERIAL) IN THE VQ35 ENGINES WERE PREMATURELY CAUSING AUDIBLE RUBBING AND BANGING UPON START UP AND EARLY WARM UP IDLE CONDITIONS. THIS PREMATURE WEAR OF THE TENSION GUIDES IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAS UNDO SLACK FROM EARLY DEGRADATION OF TENSION GUIDES WHICH MAY CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN TO WEAR/BREAK PREMATURELY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

MY WIFE NOTIFIED ME THAT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, OUR VAN A 2005 NISSAN QUEST 3.5 S, WITHOUT WARNING COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LEAVING HER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RETURN HOME. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND TOWN I EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR INCIDENT WHEN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING THE VAN SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT. AFTER BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT BRAKING ASSIST OR POWER STEERING IT RESTARTED AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. DURING BOTH INCIDENCES THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK OF FUEL AND SHOWED NO INDICATIONS OF TROUBLE. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION , ROUGH SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING THE VAN, UP SHIFTING OR DOWN SHIFTING,

WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT THE INTERSECTION TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 10 MPH AND FINALLY COMING TO A COMPLETE STALL AFTER ENGINE DIED. RESTART THE ENGINE AND DROVE NORMAL. IT HAS INTERMITTENTLY CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM. *TR

GAS GAUGE N ODOMETER READING ARE IMPOSSIBLE. *JS

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SLACK QUIDE. THE TIMING CHAIN FIXTURE CAN NOT KEEP THE CHAIN TIGHT. THE CONTACT DID NOT CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE. THE APPROXIMATE DATE OF THE FAIILURE WAS DECEMBER 12, 2012. THE CONTACT HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPAIRS MADE ON THE VEHICLE. THE MILAGE AT TIME OF PURCHASE WAS 120,000 THE MILAGE ON VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE 121,000. LG

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT DISPLAYING AS WELL AS THE ODOMETER AND TEMPERATURE- PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CURRENT LITIGATION HAD BEEN PLACED FOR SAME MODEL AND SAME OR DIFFERENT YEARS.. AIR BAG SENSOR ON FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS NOT ACTIVE BUT A SMALL ADULT IS ON THE SEAT. SIMILAR RECALLS HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL BUT NOT EXPANDING THROUGH MANY VIN#S BRAKE- SIMILAR RECALLS HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL BUT NOT EXPANDING THROUGH MANY VIN#S. AN ACCIDENT DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO RECALL THOSE CAR THAT ARE SUFFERING THE SAME DIAGNOSIS ON CURRENT/APPROVED RECALLS. AN ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. *TR

THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE LED DISPLAY, EITHER VANISHES COMPLETELY OR SHOWS CORRUPTED INFORMATION. THIS WILL REMAIN FOR SOMETIME AND THE GET FIXED ON ITS OWN, THIS KEEPS ON HAPPENING FREQUENTLY.

5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WHEN SHIFT LEVER IS MOVED INTO THE DRIVE POSITION THERE IS A HESITATION AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES INTO DRIVE WITH A HARD BANG. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO EMITS A LOW VOLUME WHINE WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. *TR

THE ODOMETER JUST STOP DISPLAYING THE MILEAGE, TEMP AND FUEL. AFTER ABOUT 10 MONTHS THE STEREO STOP WORKING, WHEN I LOOKED AROUND IN THE INTERNET I NOTICED THAT MANY OWNERS OF THE QUEST WERE HAVING THAT PROBLEM , THE CONSOLE HAS THE RADIO AND ODOMETER INTEGRATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A THUMPING NOISE HEARD WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VAN BRAND NEW AND AFTER A COUPLE YEARS BEGAN TO HEAR A SUBTLE TAPPING NOISE EVERY SO OFTEN COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD ITS A LIFTER TAPPING AND MAY COME AND GO BUT NOT WORTH REPAIRING BECAUSE IT WILL COST A LOT OF MONEY AND IT REALLY DOESN'T EFFECT PERFORMANCE. AFTER ANOTHER YEAR OR 2 THE NOISE GOT REALLY LOUD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. COME TO FIND OUT WE ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUE, THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WAS NOT APPLYING THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE GUIDE DUE TO A DEFECT IN ENGINE DESIGN THAT CAUSES THE PLASTIC ON THE GUIDE TO BREAK AND SLIP DOWN. THIS CAUSES SLACK IN THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE RAPID TAPPING NOISE AS IT STRUCK THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE. AT THIS POINT MY ENGINE WILL NOT START DUE TO THE CHAIN JUMPING TEETH AND THE TIMING THROWN OFF. I AM NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY SO TOO BAD. THIS IS A KNOWN SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THE ENGINE THAT WAS ALSO INSTALLED IN MAXIMA, ALTIMA, AND X-TERRA. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BUT MOST LIKELY DEEMED TOO EXPENSIVE TO PERFORM. ALSO THE ISSUE HAPPENS OVER TIME TYPICALLY BETWEEN 70K-120K MILES THEREFORE MOST VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WILL BE OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WON'T COVER IT. THEY DID REDESIGN THE REPLACEMENT PART GUIDE, WHICH TO ME SHOWS THEY KNEW IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW BUT ITS MINIMUM $2000 TO HAVE REPAIRED. VERY POOR WAY TO DO BUSINESS BUT THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED I SUPPOSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A DIGITAL FUEL LEVEL GAUGE, MILEAGE METER AND TEMPERATURE METER ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NUMBERS ON THE DIFFERENT METERS WERE ERASED AND WERE NO LONGER VISIBLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TELL THE VEHICLE'S TEMPERATURE OR HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS BEING UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CURRENT MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,800.

I OWN A NISSAN QUEST 05.I GOT IT BRAND NEW.I HAD IT FOR 6 YEARS AND AFTER 51,000 MILES I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NEED ANEW TIMING CHAIN.THEY ARE ASKING $2200.ITS A DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD COVER IT. *TR

THE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT BOLT, THE BOLT THAT GOES THROUGH THE UNIBODY, BROKE AND DROPPED THE A-ARM SECTION THAT HOLDS THE BACK PASSENGER TIRE, ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THREE TIRES GOING STRAIGHT AND THE BACK PASSENGER TIRE TURNED IN AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SPARKS AND SWERVING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. WE WERE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VAN AND GET IT TO THE SHOULDER. FOR A MOMENT WE THOUGHT THE VAN MIGHT ROLL. OUR MECHANIC STATED HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. THIS IS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST WITH 65,000 AND I MAINTENANCE IT REGULARLY. A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. *TR

2005 NISSAN QUEST HAD LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND LIGHT WAS ON. WAS AT DEALERSHIP GETTING BRAKES REPLACED FOR THE 4TH TIME. TOOK VAN TO GAS STATION NEXT DOOR AND PUT 16 GALLONS ($62) OF GAS IN. RESTARTED CAR AND GAS TANK STILL READ LESS THAN 1/4 AND EMPTY LIGHT/WARNINGS STILL FLASHING. DROVE BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY TRIED TO RESET AND ENDED UP DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL. THIS WAS OCT 2011 WITH 46,000MI. IT IS NOW APRIL AND CAR HAS 55,000MI. I WAS UNABLE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY SO HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH WARNING LIGHT. AFTER ABOUT 20MI, GAUGE NOW READS LESS THAN 1/2 TANK BUT TANK SHOULD BE READING FULL. THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL FOR A NUMBER OF NISSAN VEHICLES FOR GAS GAUGE ISSUES. CLEARLY A NISSAN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ACROSS THE BOARD. HAVING TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ IS NOT A GOOD LONG TERM SOLUTION. ALSO THIS VAN GOES THROUGH BRAKES AT AN ASTOUNDING RATE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS FRONT AND BACK 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 30,000 MI AND NOW NEED NEW ROTORS. ALSO HAVE REPLACED TIRES 3 TIMES. MOST RECENT MECHANIC SAID VAN WAS POORLY DESIGNED WITH BRAKES AND TIRES MEANT FOR A MUCH LIGHTER VEHICLE. *JS

CAR WAS ON E WITH LIGHT ON. PUT $60 OF GAS IN APPROX 16 GAL. CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN FULL. RESTARTED CAR AND GAS GAUGE STAYED ON E. TURNED CAR OFF, RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES. GAS GAUGE MOVED TO 2 BARS. DEALERSHIP DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND WHEN RECONNECTED GAS GAUGE MOVED TO FULL. PUSHED BUTTON IN REAR TAILGATE TO CLOSE TAILGATE DOOR, FRONT WINDOWS ROLLED UP INSTEAD. STOPPED @ STOP SIGN AND THEN WENT TO ACCELERATE. CAR RPM'S WENT UP TO 4.5 THEN ACTED LIKE I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND DROPPED DOWN TO BELOW 1 AND SHOT BACK UP TO 4 AND BACK DOWN TO 1, AND THEN FINALLY KICKED INTO GEAR AND WENT FORWARD. LUCKILY NO OTHER CARS AROUND OR COULD'VE CAUSED ACCIDENT. DEALER SAID THEY COULD LOOK BUT UNLESS I COULD DUPLICATE ABOVE LISTED INCIDENCES THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. PASSENGER SLIDING DOORS FREEZE SHUT IN WINTER. KIDS HAVE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOORS. *TR

I HAVE NISSAN QUEST 2005 MODEL VIN NO. [XXX] WHICH I PURCHASED PRE OWNED IN OCT 2010 AT THAT TIME FUEL GAUGE SHOWS THAT FUEL HAS 3/4 TANK EVEN THOUGH I FILL UP,I THOUGHT IT MAY BE CORRECTED BUT NOW EVEN I FILL UP IT SHOWS ME HALF TANK AND WHEN IT REACHED HALF TANK IT SHOWS IT IS EMPTY. SOMETIME I WONDER WHAT IS THIS WHILE I AM ON ROAD AND I HAVE TO LOOK FOR GAS STATION TO FILL UP AND I IF DON'T FILL UP AND REALLY EMPTY I POSSIBILITY OF SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF VEHICLE ON ROAD WHICH CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENT. I WENT TO FORUM AND NISSAN VEHICLE HAVE PROBLEM OF FUEL GAUGE AND RECALL 2007 ONWARDS BUT WHAT ABOUT VEHICLE 2005-05 -06 WHICH HAVE SAME PROBLEM. I REQUEST YOUR OWNER TO ORDER RECALL PROCEDURE FOR THOSE VEHICLES ALSO. WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 87K. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *LN

THERE IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURING FLAW IN MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST SE. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS ISSUED BUT DO NOT ADDRESS THE EVIDENCE OF MISSING WELDS IN THE FRAME. OVER TIME THERE WILL BE SERIOUS INJURIES. I NEED A NEW VEHICLE THAT WILL PASS MORE THAN A RECALL THAT DOES NOT REMEDY THE REAL ISSUE OF FLAWED CONSUMER PROTECTION AND MANUFACTURING FRAUD. *TR

I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED FULLY. THE VAN WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE ACCELERATED WHILE MY FOOT WAS TILL ON THE BRAKE. I GRABBED THE SHIFT LEVER AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RACED AT VERY HIGH RPM UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE IGNITION KEY AND TURN IT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED NORMAL SO I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IT. *TR

2005 NISSAN QUEST WHEN LOCKING DOORS THROUGH ALARM CONTROL, AT TIMES, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN. STARTED TO OCCUR AT 61,000 MILES. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT TURNS ON EVEN WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS ADEQUATE. STARTED TO OCCUR AT 51,000 MILES. TIMING CHAIN GUIDES WERE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN, OCCURRED AT 63,000 MILES. GAS GAGE AT TIMES WILL NOT DISPLAY CORRECT LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN TANK. STARTED TO OCCUR AT 54,000 MILES. BACK HATCH STOPPED WORKING AT 42,000 MILES. *TR

THIS MORNING WHEN I DROVE MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST VAN IN MY GARAGE I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED TO THE REAR OF THE VAN AND SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM AROUND THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING. I IMMEDIATELY BACKED THE VAN OUT OF THE GARAGE. SUDDENLY FLAMES CAME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING. BY THE TIME I COULD GRAB A FIRE EXTINGUISHER A HOLE APPROX. 6" IN DIAMETER HAD BURNED THROUGH AND MELTED PART OF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING AND THE REAR BUMPER FASCIA. I WILL CONTACT MY DEALER TOMORROW MORNING TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK SENT TO MY HOUSE TO PICK THE VAN UP AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

ONGOING ISSUE WITH A SUSPECTED DEFECTIVE TIRE VALVE/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ON MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST VAN. RECENTLY TOLD BY TIRE COMPANY THAT THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT BECAUSE OF THE PSI MONITORING DEVICE KEEPS COMING LOOSE CAUSING AIR PRESSURE TO BE RELEASE. THIS IS AN ALL IN ONE VALVE SYSTEM CONNECTED TO THE RIM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN HE ROLLS UP THE WINDOWS, THEY ROLL BACK DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. ALSO, THE DOORS DO NOT REMAIN LOCKED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 58,000.

VEHICLE LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY IN RAINSTORM. WERE ABLE TO STEER TO SIDE OF ROAD. UPON INSPECTION BY A MECHANIC, WE DISCOVERED THE ECM (COMPUTER) TO BE EXTREMELY CORRODED. WE HAD IT REPLACED FOR $1100.00. THERE WAS NO NEARBY NISSAN DEALER, BUT THE MASTER MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE PART DID ORDER IT FROM NISSAN. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY, AS THE PART WAS NOT INSTALLED BY THE DEALER. I VISITED A SITE, QUESTDRIVER.COM WHERE I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2004-2006 NISSAN QUESTS. NEVER WAS THE WARRANTY HONORED BECAUSE NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER FAULTY PARTS CORRODED OR RUSTY. MANY DRIVERS CARS STALLED IN COMPROMISING SITUATIONS, AS WE DID. THERE WAS THREAT OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT, THOUGH I DON'T KNOW THE OUTCOME. THE ECM I PURCHASED JUST FAILED AGAIN YESTERDAY. I WAS APPROACHING A BUSY INTERSECTION, BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO A SIDE ROAD. HAD I PULLED OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND STALLED, I SHUDDER TO THINK WHERE COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE SAME PART IS CORRODED AGAIN. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE PART, JUST UNDER THE WINDSHIELD, WHERE IT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN. NISSAN SHOULD FIND A WAY TO SHIELD THIS PART FROM THE ELEMENTS AND HONOR THE WARRANTY OR REPLACE THE PART AT NO COST. THANK YOU. *TR

WINDOWS WILL NOT STAY UP. THEY GO DOWN BUT WHEN ROLLED UP COME BACK DOWN HALF WAY. DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL NOW. VAN IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $400 TO REPAIR. *TR

THIRD TIME FRONT LEFT STEERING STOP GOES BAD. THE STEERING STOP WAS REPLACED TWICE IN LAST THAN A YEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN BY ITSELF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V186000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH) WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE 2004 MODELS, WHICH SHE THOUGHT SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2005 MODELS AS WELL. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,575 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,458.
