2007 Nissan Quest Visibility & Wipers Problems

CAR PARKED OVERNIGHT OUTSIDE. TEMPERATURE IN LOW 50S. IN MORNING, FOUND SUNROOF IMPLODED INTO CAR. SPRAYED GLASS PIECES ACROSS DASH, FRONT SEATS, AND MIDDLE SEATS. GLASS WAS IN CHUNKS, SAFETY GLASS LIKE PIECES, AND SMALL SHARDS INCLUDING VERY FINE SHARP PIECES. A LITTLE GLASS AROUND SUNROOF ON OUTSIDE BUT VERY LITTLE - MOSTLY INTO THE INTERIOR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE LOCAL ROAD, A LOUD VIBRATION FROM THE RIGHT POWER SLIDING DOOR CAN BE HEARD.. ITS VERY LOUD! IT ALSO MADE THE GAS PEDAL SHAKE A LITTLE BIT.. 2007 NISSAN QUEST S 86500 MILES..DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GETS STUCK WHILE GOING UP, ALSO DOORS WONT OPEN ALL THE TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN QUEST I BOUGHT NEW. IT HAS REAR SONAR AS ONE OF THE OPTIONS AND DUE TO THE SIZE, SHAPE AND BLIND SPOTS IT IS NEEDED. I NOTICED WITH 35000 MILES THAT THE REAR SONAR WAS INOP- SINCE I BOUGHT IT FOR MY WIFE, I WAS UNAWARE IT WAS INOP FOR A WHILE. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 37 MOS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS IT IS NOT ONLY COMMON IN ALL YEARS OF THE QUEST BUT THE TITAN AS WELL. THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECTIVE AURAL BUZZER. WHEN YOU HAVE A FAULT SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM THE OFF LIGHT SHOULD COME ON LETTING YOU KNOW THE SYSTEM IS OFF- HOWEVER, IT ILLUMINATES SPORADICALLY AND WHAT YOU THINK IS A WORKING SYSTEM IS REALLY NOT- I HAVE TALKED WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE UNAWARE THE SYSTEM WAS OFF UNTIL THEY BACKED INTO SOMETHING CAUSING MINIMAL BUT EXPENSIVE DAMAGE. I AM AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC AND CANNOT SEE HOW THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE BUZZER- WHEN BACKING UP LOOKING BEHIND YOU AND USING YOUR MIRRORS THERE IS A HUGE BLIND AREA IN THE BACK OF THE VAN THAT IS CAUSED BY THE GRADUAL INCREASE IN THE SLOPE OF THE BODY PANELS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NISSAN USES A DEFECTIVE BUZZER THAT THEY KNOW WILL FAIL- IT IS A CHEAP FIX FOR THE DEALERS HOWEVER FOR THE CONSUMER IT WOULD COST UPWARDS OF 400 DOLLARS FOR A BUZZER THAT CAN BE PURCHASED AT RADIO SHACK FOR 5 DOLLARS. I REPLACED MINE WITH THE ORIGINAL NISSAN PART THAT COST 60 DOLLARS AND FIND IT OFFENSIVE THEY HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY FIXED A PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXISTS- IT IS SAFETY RELATED AND AS SOMEONE WHO FIXES JETS FOR A MAJOR AIRLINE, SAFETY IS FIRST AND FOREMOST ALONG WITH A RELIABLE, DEPENDABLE PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

I'VE BEEN IGNORING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. NOW IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE PROBLEM WAS, EVERYTIME I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, IT AUTOMATICALLY REOPENED ABOUT 6INCHES DOWN BY ITSELF. IN ORDER TO CLOSE IT COMPLETELY, I HAVE HOLD UP THE SWITCH FOR ABOUT 30SEC. TO 1MIN. I WONDER IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS THIS ISSUE. IF IT IS, IS IT STILL COVERS UNDER MANUFACTURING WARRANTY. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD GOT BROKEN TWICE IN NOT MORE THAN A WEEK AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FIRST CRACKED CRISTAL. THE CAUSE WAS THE SAME. AN SMALL ROCK HIT THE RIGHT END OF THE CRISTAL CAUSING A CRACK. THE SAD THING IS THAT THE HIT WAS ALMOST UNPERCEIVABLE IN BOTH CASES. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE IF THE WINDSHIELD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SMALL ROCK HITS. *TR

FOREIGN MATERIAL HAS ENTERED THROUGH THE COWL PANEL AIR INTAKE DURING OPERATION OF THE FRONT HEATER AND/OR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, RESULTING IN A BUILD-UP OF MATERIAL IN THE PLENUM. THIS HAS LEAD TO NOISE AND STRAIN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING FAN. I AM CONCERNED IT COULD LEAD TO IGNITION OF THESE MATERIALS. *AK
