FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT A 1995 NISSAN QUEST VAN WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO(1999-2000). MY COMPLAINT IS THAT EVERY WINTER ON VERY COLD DAYS, WHEN WE TURN THE HEAT ON IN THE MORNINGS YOU CAN SMELL A VERY BAD RAW GAS SMELL. AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP IT WILL USUALLY GO AWAY BUT NOT ALWAYS AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP IT WILL START AGAIN. I AM TALKING ABOUT A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL, NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT. IT IS ENOUGH THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IT'S SO BAD. SOMETIMES WE ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN, WHICH IS NOT VERY COMFORTABLE SEEING THAT IT USUALLY HAPPENS ON THE COLDEST DAYS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE FIXED ALL THE RECALLS AND BULLETINS PUT OUT BY NISSAN ON PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS. THESE NEVER WORKED. I ALSO TOOK IT TO ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES TO HAVE IT FIXED. NOTHING HAS WORKED TO THIS POINT. THIS IS A LITTLE UNSETTLING THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE CANNOT EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM AND I CAN'T KEEP POURING MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE AND NOT SEEING ANY RESULTS. NOR DO I FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT MY FAMILY RIDING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE.*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, WITH APPROXIMATELY 106000 MILES. THE KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WITHOUT BEING IN PARK. I CAN EVEN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME I PARKED AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK AND CAME OUT OF A STORE AND THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT. THANKFULLY IT HADN'T HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN GEAR BEFORE I EXIT THE VEHICLE. KEYLESS ENTRY DOESN'T WORK IF THE CAR IS RUNNING.

WILL START, RUN 5 MINUTES THEN DIE. THE WIRING TO THE RADIATOR FAN FUSE BOX IS BURNT. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER WHO REPLACED THE BURNT WIRES, COST $75. THEY SAID THE ENGINE WIRING NEEDED REPLACED. I CALLED A DEALER NEAR HOME AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $3000 TO FIX THIS. THIS IS HALF OF WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER, FUEL PUMP, AND IGNITION COIL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I'VE HAD A 1995 NISSAN QUEST SINCE APRIL 2002. LAST WINTER ('02/'03) AND NOW THIS WINTER, WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER AND/OR DEFROST, THE GAS SMELL INSIDE THE VAN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY INTOLERABLE. I HAVE TO DRIVE IN COLD WEATHER WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY FROM PASSING OUT FROM THE GAS SMELL. WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM THERE IS NO PROBLEM, BUT AS SOON AS IT GETS COLD, WE DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. UNACCEPTABLE!!! *LA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
PURCHASED THE QUEST IN JUNE OF 2000. SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. IT EVEN HAD ALL OF THE SERVICE RECORDS (OIL CHANGES ETC.) LISTED IN THE BOOK THAT CAME WITH IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. WHILE ON A TRIP TO TEXAS, THE ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE VAN JUST DIED. WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT OUTSIDE (AROUND 95 DEGREES). WE HAD ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR AROUND 2 MONTHS. AFTER WAITING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, TRIED TO RESTART AND IT DID RESTART. WENT TO A MECHANIC TO SEE IF THEY COULD LOOK IT OVER, THEY DID AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT STARTED JUST FINE FOR THEM AND THEY EVEN TEST DROVE IT FOR US. CONTINUED WITH OUR TRIP AND GOT HOME SAFELY. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME OF MANY TIMES THAT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURED. AFTER THE SECOND TIME, WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A HOSE AND SAID IT WAS THE PROBLEM (A HOLE IN THE BP SILICON HOSE WAS THE PROBLEM...MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF QUEST). OCCURED 3 OTHER TIMES USUALLY WHEN EXTREMELY HOT OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY RESTARTS, AND ONE PERSON CAN NOT KEEP REPLACING THIS HOSE WERE MY THOUGHTS. NOW, THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AT OUR HOUSE, WITH A RUINED ENGINE. WE ARE NOT SURE 'WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN' IS WHAT WE WERE TOLD BY OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THAT IT WILL COST MORE TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED THEN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. NOT TO MENTION, WE STILL OWE AROUND $5000 ON IT. AFTER ALL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ON HERE, WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS? THE ENGINE STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING A VEHICLE IS NOT NORMAL AND DANGEROUS. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SAID? I AM NOT ANGRY, I JUST WISH SOMETHING COULD BE DONE TO HELP ALL OF US WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
CRANK SHAFT BROKEN WHEN NISSAN DEALER TRY TO CHANGE TIMING BELT. THE NEXT DAY I CALL AAA TOW MY 1995 QUEST TO ARCO GAS STATION. THE TECHNICIAN OF ARCO FOUND THE CRANK SHAFT WAS BROKEN BUT ALREADY BROKEN ABOUT 1/2 BEFORE I DROVE TO DEALER TO CHANGE TIMING BELT. THE NEW 1/2 BROKEN PROBABLY CAUSED BY AFTER REMOVING TIMING BELT AND CRANK SHAFT BOLT. THE PULLEY IS TOO HEAVY FOR CRANK SHAFT TO HOLD IT. SO WHEN NISSAN'S TECHNICIAN TRY TO REMOVE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY, THE PULLEY DROP WITH BROKEN PIECE OF CRANK SHAFT. IT HAPPEN AT MILAGE 89,000. CRANK SHAFT SUPPOSE WILL NEVER BROKEN DURING NORMAL DRIVING.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
THE ORIGINAL FUEL INJECTORS ALL FAILED AT 55,000 MILES, REPORTED BY THE DEALER TO BE DUE TO FUEL ADDITIVES THAT WERE PLACED IN THE FUEL BY AMOCO AND THAT WERE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT MY COST THEN 25,000 MILES LATER THAY AE FAILING AGAIN. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT NISSAN, WHICH I DID. THEY IMPLY THAT I PLACED ADDITIVES IN THE GAS WHICH VOIDED THE WARRANTY AND THAT THEY ONLY WARRANT FUEL INJECTORS FOR 12,000 MILES. THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT I DID NOT PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE INJECTORS BUT REFUSE TO GIVE ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION IN WRITING. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES, NEARLY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRSS THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAVE NOT HAD INJECTOR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER QUESTS. DO I HAVE A LEMON?*AK
