2012 Nissan Quest Complaint Log

I purchased the van and noticed that at times it would suddenly de-accelerate and drop from whatever speed im doing and refuse to speed up even if I press the gas peddle to the floor. Id come up to a stop sign and stop, then at times it wouldnt accelerate, even with the peddle to the floor, it would barely move forward. I brought it back to the person I purchased it from tried to describe what happened, they had someone check the transmission and said it was fine. Its continued to do this, and has almost caused crashes because it does it periodically and without warning on inclines, at red lights, if I driven a long distance (i.e. 1hr or so) etc, and when stopped. Its done this especially when it comes to hills, its terrifying but I have no other vehicles and now only drive it locally, avoid hills, and only if I absolutely have to. This is my first Nissan and wasn't aware of issues like this as I typically buy Buick's, so I researched Nissan issues and recalls and recently saw a recall from October 2025 related to the fuel pump injector system reset that describes what ive experienced exactly, but when I took it to the Nissan dealership in Saratoga NY, they said its not a recall, just a warning for my model and year, and they would need to charge me to inspect it, and didnt advise if it was repairable. Anyone else who has this model Nissan I would want warned immediately, and I mean immediately. Its scary seeing other vehicles coming up behind me and I dont know if my van will accelerate or not, I took out a loan to buy this vehicle and am still paying it off. I cant buy another right now. The actual recall for what appears to be the same issue came out for 2013 and newer Nissans but again, should include this model for year 2012. Those of us with this vehicle should be included in the recall so we can drive safely as well. Please make this update to the recall asap. Thank you for your time and consideration to review this

My van is not accelerating properly, it seems to idle out and does not go over 20 mph it idles on acceleration decline. i could not get out of way fast enough if traffic was busy.

Have fixed myself Ac compressor kit about 97,051miles on [XXX], maf sensor, two vvt solenoids having driven it 20,000 miles in five years trying to rid light. Nov 2019 purchased at 94,719 miles. Roberts nissan of manchester, tn checked and serviced on [XXX] at 95,186 milles in excellent condition. Light will not stay off for power train system, cam timing bank, timing chains, vct camshaft timing vct, power supply circuit. Nissan did replace recall ABS actuator. Had checked Cookeville Nissan [XXX] light on and they turned off saying it checked ok after a cold start for $230. It is loud now at 114,998 miles! This auto must have defective parts since Gateway has serviced it regularly. I am concerned about driving. Talked to consumer affairs of Nissan and was told it was over 65,000 miles and not valid. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owed a 2012 Nissan Quest. The contact stated while shifting the vehicle into reverse, the vehicle launched forward at high speed without any warning. The contact pressed on the brake pedal, but it failed to stop the vehicle, causing the contact to loss control and drive into a ditch and crashing a tree causing the vehicle came to a complete stop. The air bags did not deploy. The contact suffered injuries to the left leg and foot and head and seek medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was deemed totally loss from the insurance company. The manufacturer was contact and stated that there was no recall for the failure and did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 50,000.

CVT Transmission failed and had to replace with new CVT Transmission while returning from a trip on June 7 2023. It failed in middle of the trip. Aamco Boardman, OH helped replace it with brand new transmission and it cost $7525. Last year also Compressor failed and had to replace it with brand new compressor at the local garage here in Shippensburg. Mileage is only 110000 miles. Very disappointed and dissatisfied with 2012 Nissan Quest.

The CVT transmission on this vehicle has failed. The vehicle is jerking and and stalls while driving. If I'm at a light stopped and the light changes to go, the vehicle won't move unless I put my foot all the way down on the accelerator then it Jenks and starts to move. I took it to Sheridan Nissan in Delaware, and they told me this has been the issue with the CVT transmission and I need to just get rid of the van. To get a new one put in is over $7000 with just a 12 Mos12,000 miles warranty and they say it may go out again. I was told by another dealership that Nissan new about this problem, but won't fix it. I've noticed that they have replaced CVT transmissions in other Nissan vehicles and other years, but seem to skip the 2012 Nissan Quest. The engine light came on after it started jerking and I had it towed to Nissan and then they told me that the transmission is slipping. They told me I could drive it home, but to "get rid of it because it doesn't have much life left." Please make Nissan recall these transmissions like they did others. If they are all CVT transmissions, why are some being fixed and others being ignored? Please help.

Vehicle lost power multiple times while being driven. The alternator has been replaced three times last being 12/21. Battery has also been replaced. Vehicle has been to 2 mechanics. Potentially thought A/C compressor was causing problem. Replaced by mechanic number 2 May 2022. Vehicle runs until headlights are engaged, a/c or radio etc. Vehicle was driven 10 miles without radio, a/c or lights. Power drained within 2 miles of turning headlights on and cut out in traffic. Sputters and able to pull over without causing accident barely. Left stranded multiple times. Once on a major highway with traffic, stranded on side of road. Spouse rescued while waiting for tow truck. Multiple tows with major motor club. Catalytic Converter light is active and was checked by TJ's in Loganville, GA, it did not need to be replaced at this time. Affordable Auto Services, Mulberry Road Winder GA and B&B Auto Services, Dacula GA (3 alternators and 2 batteries).

I was on a busy freeway only 10 miles from my city and my van with no warning started to slow down and I tried pushing gas to make it go faster to the speed limit because there were semi trucks lined behind and beside me and it wouldn’t accelerate at all. It just continued to slow down at a fast rate and I was trying to get to the side of the freeway as fast as possible and the steering wheel got hard to turn to the side. It was a struggle and I had my husband, and all 5 of my daughters with me. We were all scared out of our minds. Vehicles were passing so close to us and so fast. The vehicle came to a complete stop on the side of the freeway and the engine was still running and I tried to push gas but it just revved up and didn’t move at all. My family and I were stranded for hours waiting for help to come. We could have been hit by so many vehicles. I turned off the van and restarted a few minutes later to try to get it to go but it wouldn’t budge. Just made whining sounds.

CVT transmission is failing, it is very very common with Nissan.

Traveling at a high speed of 75 vehicle without warning stalls can't give any gas... Will not restart to after it has sat for about 20 mins then it will start and stall out again..ABS light and brake battery light keeps jumping on and off

My Brake system was flushed but my brake light and battery and ABS LIGHT stays on flickering I was driving my vehicle at high speed and it it just stalls with no warning... I have to wait 20 mins or more before it'll start again. It has bn doing this for an entire year..driving full speed with no warning just shut down in middle of traffic

The dashboard on my 2012 Nissan Quest S is splitting at the edges leaving a gap between 1/16-1/32 wide. The area around the passenger air bag is now outlined and I am concerned it my effect the air bag. This started about a year ago and is getting worse.

My 2012 Nissan Quest has completely rotted out causing the muffler system and the motor mount to move causing significant damage and repair. Over $2,500 just to buy parts and repair all due to excessive rust on the body frame underneath. Its only a 2012 yet it looks as if it is a lot older. While driving the muffler system failed and broke away along with the motor mount which shifted. Cannot be driven any longer.

Instumrnt panel goes blank, often stays off. Sometimes have to pull over to turn off vehicle and turn back in. Rarely works when this is done.

FRONT SUN ROOF EXPLODED, SHOWERING GLASS OVER THE ROOF. DRIVING ON A SMOOTH CITY STREET AT 35 MPH. NO OTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON IN THE VICINITY, AND NOTHING OVERHEAD. TEMPERATURE NEAR FREEZING AND SPITTING SNOW. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION OF MY 2012 NISSAN QUEST. IT'S BECOMING TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT'S KEEP ON JERKING WHEN I'M DRIVING IT IN THE STREET THAT IS WAY I DON'T DRIVE IT IN THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT'S TOO DANGEROUS AND LATELY IT SPEED UP THAT I ALMOST GET AN ACCIDENT. FIRST IT WON'T RUN WHENEVER I STOP AT STOP SIGN AND/OR STOP LIGHT, WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT WON'T RUN LIKE IT NORMALLY DO AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WILL SPEED UP THAT I ALMOST GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I WANT THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER TO RECALL MY QUEST AND FIX MY TRANSMISSION.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AS SOON AS CAR IS IN IGNITION AND STAY WHEN CAR IS STATIC. THE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN IN MOTION. THE DEALER FIXED THIS ISSUE AND ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON. I AM BEEN TOLD TO PAY ANOTHER 3000 DOLLARS TO FIX THE SEAT.

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE THE VAN WAS JERKING EVERY TIME THE GAS WAS PRESSED. THIS WAS EVEN HAPPENING THE DAY PRIOR WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT ONE POINT THE RPM WOULD GO START GOING HIGH WHEN THE GAS WAS BARELY BEING PRESSED. WE DECIDED TO GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT. WE WERE AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE VAN JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED GIVING ANY POWER WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. THERE WERE NO LIGHT INDICATORS ON THE DASHBOARD TO ALERT OF ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VAN. THE RPM WOULD NOT REV UP EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED. WE TURNED THE VAN OFF AND ON TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE ISSUE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THERE WAS STILL NO POWER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE VAN HAD TO ROLL UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO PARK SAFELY AT A GAS STATION. WE LET THE VAN SIT FOR OVER 30 MINUTES JUST IN CASE TO SEE IF IT WAS AN OVERHEATING ISSUE. THERE WAS A JIFFY LUBE NEARBY AND WE ASKED A MECHANIC WHAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE. THEY SAID THAT NISSAN HAD A CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE LOSS OF POWER, TRANSMISSION JERKING, ETC. EVENTUALLY WE HAD TO GET THE VAN TOWED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

Daughter's Quest has a bad CVT transmission. Diagnosis made by independent service center. Check engine light came on. Codes P1700, P0746, & P0868. Unsafe to drive - doesn't accelerate, shakes, shutters, etc. Other Nissan Quest/Nissan owners with same issue (Pathfinder, Rogue, Juke, Murano, Versa,Sentra,Altima). Refer to CarComplaints.com. I mailed a letter to Nissan Corp Office in Franklin TN. They offered no assistance. Nissan settled a class action law suit for Sentra, Versa, Altima with same trans problem by agreeing to replace trans and extend warranty from 5yrs/60K miles to 10 yrs/120K miles. Want Nissan to replace bad CVT transmissions and extend warranty on Quest vans and other models with bad CVT transmissions.

I WAS SOLD A DECEPTIVE VAN AT THE END SEPT 2020, I DID A TEST DRIVE WITH THE SALESMAN, POINTED OUT SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE VAN LIKE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, TRACTION LIGHT ON, AIR BAG LIGHT ON, REMOTE MISSING TO CONTROL TV, THE SALESMAN TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT ALL THE LIGHTS THAT'S ON HE WILL GET THAT FIX AT A LATER DATE AND TO BUY THE TV REMOTE AND A DEDUCTION WILL BE APPLIED TO MY CONTRACT. I WAS FINE WITH THAT, BUT THAT HASN'T BEEN THE CASE. I ADMITTEDLY START TO FIND OTHER ISSUE WITH THE VAN THE MORE I DROVE IT LIKE THE REAR WIPER MOTOR IS NOT WORKING, THE COMPLETE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT WORKING SO THE HORN, CRUISE CONTROL, BLUETOOTH SETTINGS, RADIO VOLUME BUTTON. I HAVE MADE THE SALESMAN A WHERE OF THIS BUT HIS WHOLE TONE CHANGED. I WAS TOLD TO GET WHATEVER ISSUES FIXED MYSELF AND MAYBE A DEDUCTION WOULD BE APPLIED TO MY BALANCE, ONCE AGAIN I SAID BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE AGREE ON. SO NOW ITS TIME FOR MY TEMPORARY TAG TO EXPIRE, WAS ISSUED A NEW ONE 3 TIMES BUT HAD TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO LET THEM MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THE VAN WILL NOT PASS MARTA/EMISSION TO GET REGISTER FOR REAL LICENSE PLATE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE VAN IS MISSING THE CADILLAC CONVERTER AND THE SALESMAN WILL NOT PUT ONE ON SAID YOU DO NOT REALLY NEED IT ON THE VAN. AT THIS POINT HE SAID IN A CONVERSATION WITH ME THAT A PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE VAN FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND RETURNED IT FOR ISSUES, BUT WHEN I SAID I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH THE VAN AND WANT TO RETURN AS WELL, IT WAS PASS 2 MONTHS NOW AND AS LONG AS THE VAN GETS ME TO POINT A TO POINT B THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS! ONCE AGAIN THE MORE I DRIVE THE VAN I'M FINDING ISSUES SO NOW THE BUTTON ON THE RADIO GET STUCK WHEN PUSHED IN, CONTROLLING THE HEAT AND AIR IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, SO WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT, THE AC BUTTON WILL NOT TURN OFF, ALSO THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW BUTTONS DON'T WORK PROPERLY. THIS VAN IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE PERIOD.

AT 119,000 MILES THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR, MAKING ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. SEVERAL CALLS TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TO NISSAN CORPORATION RESULTED IN "I'M SORRY BUT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU BUT OFFER A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF YOUR TRANSMISSION AT AT COST OVER $5000". THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 19K MILES OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FROM NISSAN, BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING THEY DON'T LOOK AT THAT, THEY LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. NISSAN IS AWARE OF ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION THEY HAVE PUT IN THEIR CARS BUT REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUES OR WORK WITH CUSTOMERS.

THE LCD SCREEN ON THE DASH DOOR KEEPS ACTING CRAZY LIKE SCRAMBLING AND IT HAS NOW JUST GONE COMPLETELY BLACK

MULTIPLE TIMES GOT INTO THE VEHICLE (NO SPECIFIC TIME THIS WOULD OCCUR) AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AS IT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. WHEN THE VAN WOULD BE PLACED IN REVERSE IT WOULD ENGAGE AND BACKING UP WOULD OCCUR. ONCE THEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN SHUTTER AND THEN STALL OUT. THIS DID OCCUR TWICE WHILE DRIVER WAS PULLING OUT, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE WOULD FINALLY START. AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES THIS OCCURRED, WE STARTED DOCUMENTING THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE AND EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED IT WAS ON OR BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS. SINCE KEEPING AT LEAST A 1/2 TANK OF FUEL, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EXHIBITED THIS BEHAVIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL MECHANIC TO BE LOOKED AT.

AFTER EACH OF THESE SERVICES WERE DONE, THE VEHICLE DID RUN SOMEWHAT BETTER, BUT STILL OCCURS OFF AND ON.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN, IF IN A EMERGENCY CASE HOW CAN THE DRIVER GET OUT OF THE CAR

THE VEHICLE STALLS DUE TO TRANSMISSION. CVT FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS SOME 93,000 MILES. VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND DID NOT MOVE. WE HAD TO TOW IT HOME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE STALLS DUE TO TRANSMISSION. CVT FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS SOME 93,000 MILES. VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION DID NOT MOVE. I HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.

DOESN'T WANT TO SPEED WHEN ACCELERATE, SPECIALLY ON A HILL. NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DETECT IT.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 107K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MICHAEL JORDAN NISSAN (3930 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, (919) 489-3800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

THERE IS A FUEL SYSTEM GLITCH IN THE SOFTWARE. THE CAR STALLS WHEN IDLING OR TRAVELING AT SPEEDS LOWER THAN 40 MPH. IT ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS AT STOP LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS AS WELL. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE BUT IT WILL REVERSE. I AM ABLE TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPOT BUT AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD. IT IT'S VERY INCONSISTENT AND WILL HAPPEN FREQUENTLY FOR WEEKS, THEN GO A COUPLE WEEKS WITHOUT HAPPENING BEFORE IT STARTS BACK AGAIN. A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN ABOUT A SOFTWARE ERROR WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE 2011-2012 QUESTS BUT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET REPAIRED TWICE AND NO ONE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER IT WOULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL YESTERDAY, A NEW MECHANIC FOUND THE PROBLEM AND THE BULLETIN ABOUT THE RECALL BUT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL TANK GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO HOURS AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE TANK WOULD BE EMPTY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BROWN'S FAIRFAX NISSAN (11010 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VA 22030, (703)-591-8009) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES PER THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000.

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] . I BOUGHT A NISSAN QUEST 2012, AND I'VE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THE SEATS WERE GOOD. OVERTIME, THE SEATS HAVE BECOME WORN OUT. THE HANDLE TO REST YOUR HAND HAS A RIP IN HALF. THE SEAT (DRIVER'S) IS ALSO BEING WORN. I'M NOT SURE IF THE LEATHER IS BAD QUALITY BECAUSE IT'S ONLY BEEN ABOUT 7 YEARS OF USE AND THE LEATHER IS BEING WORN OUT. ADDITIONALLY, THE BACK SEATS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION UNLIKE THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH IS BEGINNING TO MIRROR WHAT THE DRIVER'S LOOKS LIKE. I ONLY MENTION THIS BECAUSE I OWN OTHER CARS THAT ARE OLDER, AND I'VE HAD FOR A WHILE AND THE LEATHER ISN'T A PROBLEM. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A RECALL. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VAN STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATION, I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT DIDN'T RESPONDED UNTIL SEVERAL SECONDS LATER (5-10), IT STARTED SLOWLY AND THEN IT ACCELERATES SLOWLY. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STOPS, THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUTOZONE STORE, AND THEY FOUND THE ERROR CODE P1778, WHICH IS CVT TRANSMISSION ERROR. I TOOK THE VAN THEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY FOUND THE SAME ERROR CODE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT APPROX $3800 DLS. THE VAN HAS 76,000 MILES. AND SO FAR, I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS SITES THAT HAVE CLAIMS AND LIST PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS, AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING CARE OF CUSTOMERS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU ARE TRYING TO CROSS A STREET AND THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND. ALSO ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT NISSAN DOESN'T HELP OR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR FIX THIS ISSUE.

CVT STARTED SLIPPING AROUND 115,000 MILES WHEN TAKING OFF ON INCLINE. REALLY BAD SLIPPING AND HAD FLUID CHANGED AT 121,000 MILES. SURGING AND LOSING POWER ON THE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC. WENT COMPLETELY OUT AT 130,000 MILES LEAVING MY FAMILY STRANDED.

VAN HAS HAD ISSUES SLIPPING ON HILLS AFTER STOP WITH GEARS GRINDING AND JERKING. BROUGHT IN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE. I MENTIONED I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE TRANSMISSION AND HOW WE CAN DO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. THEY RECOMMENDED FLUSHING TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR $125 WHICH I DID. LESS THAN MONTH LATER, SLIPPING STILL OCCURRED ON HILLS AFTER STOPS. ON WAY HOME THIS PAST SATURDAY, I WAS GOING ABOUT 30-40 MPH WHEN THERE WAS A STOP LIGHT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5-10MPH WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I THEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE GEAR GRINDED AND I HAD NO POWER. AS I PRESSED THE GAS NO POWER WAS COMING TO VAN AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAIT A MINUTE OR SO AND AFTER STARTING THE CAR, THE VEHICLE SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO WAS NOW ON. BROUGHT THE VAN IN TO DEALERSHIP AND AFTER DOING A DRIVE TEST AND REPLICATING ON A HILL, THEY CONFIRMED THE SLIPPING. THEY ALSO DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND CONFIRMED TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO TUNE OF $4100. LOOKING UP THIS CASE THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. NISSAN ALSO PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR PRIOR VAN MODELS FROM 2003-2010 TO 100K MILES. MY VEHICLE IS A 2012 NISSAN QUEST WITH 81K MILES. WITH ALL THE NISSANS HAVING CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES, IT APPEARS THERE IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON A DECLINE. ONCE THE CONTACT REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE DECLINE, SHE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V076000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ON 8/7/17 MY WIFE WAS HIT IN THE LEFT SIDE OF HER EYE/HEAD AREA BY THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WHILE SHE WAS TRYING TO GET OUR 2 YEAR OLD SON OUT OF THE CAR. OUR CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. SHE WENT INSIDE OUR HOME TO GET A BAG FOR A BEACH DAY WITH OUR 5 CHILDREN, BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES, SHE DIDN'T COME BACK TO THE CAR. I WENT INSIDE WITH OUR CHILDREN TO FIND OUT WHAT SHE WAS DOING, AND I FOUND HER ON THE FLOOR, HEAD DOWN, WITH A POOL OF BLOOD BEHIND HER HEAD, AND SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS. I CALLED 911 AND MY SON BEGAN CPR, AS SHE HAD FOAM COMING FROM HER MOUTH. MY SON AFTER NUMEROUS CONTINUOUS PUMPS TO HER CHEST, AROUND 5 MINUTES, SHE FINALLY TOOK A BREATH. WHEN THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED, THEY TOOK MY WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE CONTINUED TO HAVE A VERY HARD TIME BREATHING AND UPON ARRIVAL TO THE HOSPITAL, SHE WAS INTUBATED WITH A VENTILATOR TO HELP HER BREATH. TESTS REVEALED SHE HAD A BRAIN HEMORRHAGE AND SEVERAL LACERATIONS TO HER HEAD. SHE WAS KEPT IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 11 DAYS, AND WAS DISCHARGED HOME TO BED REST AND GRADUAL WALKING WITH THE HELP OF A PHYSICAL THERAPIST, NURSE AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST. WE HAVE 5 CHILDREN, ALL OF WHOM CAN BE HIT BY THE SLIDING DOOR IF THE ELECTRICAL BUTTON IS PUSHED ON. WE NOW LEAVE THAT BUTTON OFF, AS WE FEAR THEY WILL ALSO GET HIT BY THE DOOR, AS THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS IN THE DOOR.

JERKING MOTION: SUDDEN TWITCHING AND OSCILLATING MOTION OF ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. AFTER DRIVING NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 10~30 MINTS, IT HAPPENS AT ABOUT 2000 RPM ~ 2500 RMP ON UPHILL (WITH ACCELERATOR GENTRY PRESSED DOWN). IT STOPES WHEN I RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR, WHEN THE ENGINE COMES DOWN TO BELOW 2000 RPM. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/7VCLGUAUMOE
