TIRES
WE HAD OUR TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED ON A FRIDAY. ON SATURDAY MORNING WE ATTEMPTED TO TRAVEL 110 MILES NORTH OF OUR CITY. TRAVELING AT 75 MPH OUR FRONT LEFT BRIDGESTONE TIRE BLEW OUT. WE HAD NO INDICATION OF DRIVING OVER ANYTHING AT THE TIME. WE HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 8 MILES FROM OUR HOME WHEN THIS OCCURRED. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
ELECTRICAL WIRING: HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS. FIRST THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. PRESSING ON THE CONNECTOR WOULD MAKE IT WORK. I DISASSEMBLED CONNECTOR/WIRING AND REASSEMBLED IT. IT HAS BEEN WORKING. NEXT THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. PRESSING ON THE CONNECTOR WILL MAKE IT WORK. WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ANOTHER DRIVER INFORMED HER THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS WHERE OUT. NO BLOWN FUSES, BURNT WIRES OR CONNECTORS FOUND. WILL TRY TO CORRECT TODAY. IN ADDITION I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE RADIO DISPLAY WHICH WENT OUT ONE WEEK AFTER WARRANTY. DEALER WILL NOT COVER RADIO.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
YOUR CLOSED DEFECT INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER STATED THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE BULB THAT WAS USED UNTIL JULY OF 1999. AFTER BOTH MY HEADLIGHT BULBS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY IN THE SUMMER OF 2004, MY MECHANIC REPLACED NOT ONLY THE BULBS, BUT THE CONNECTORS TOO. GUESS WHAT? MY HEADLIGHT BULB JUST MELTED IT'S CONNECTOR AGAIN...IN 2005... USING THE "CORRECTED" BULB INDICATED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. WHY ISN'T NISSAN AND FORD AND THEIR SUPPLIER CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM? IT IS HARD TO GO ON A TRIP OR WORK AT NIGHT WHEN MY OTHER LIGHT MAY GO OUT BEFORE THE OTHER IS FIXED. IT ALSO COST ABOUT $100 TO FIX. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS JUST STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. MY MECHANIC STATED THE CONNECTORS MELTED. WHEN HE TRIED TO OBTAIN THEM FROM NISSAN, HE WAS TOLD THEY NO LONGER ARE AVAILABLE! THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE IF THEY HAVE STOPPED SELLING THE CONNECTORS. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
THE SLIDING DOOR'S TOP PINS CAME OFF THE TRACK, WHICH RESULTED IN THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR DANGLING. ONLY THE BOTTOM HINGE WAS KEEPING THE DOOR ATTACHED TO VAN. *MR WHEN OPENED, THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR CAME OUT OF THE TOP TRACKS, LEAVING THE DOOR SUSPENDED ONLY BY THE BOTTOM SLIDING HINGE. THIS WAS WITHOUT WARNING, HOWEVER, THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAD BEEN EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS OF TROUBLE WITH OPENING. THE ROLLERS IN THE TOP TRACKS HAD APPARENTLY BROKEN OFF THE PINS. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE REPAIR COST. OTHER PROBLEMS: THE RADIO DISPLY WAS INOPERATIVE. *SC *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COLLIDE INTO THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT OF HIM, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS CAUSED THE PASSENGER TO SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSED HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS REPEATEDLY (GOING ON 3RD TIME) AND MY TAIL LIGHT (1 TIME). IN ADDITION, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL; IT SEEMS TO STICK, UNTIL I APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE THEN IT TAKES OFF ABRUPTLY FAST, HAD THESE SAME PROBLEMS (WITH REPLACING HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS AND ACCELERATOR) WHEN I HAD MY 1993 NISSAN QUEST, BUT DISMISSED THEM. NOW I SEE A CORRELATION WITH THE 2000 QUEST I HAVE NOW. THE LOW PROFILE OF MY QUEST CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION PAN TO LEAK FLUID, BECAUSE OF A DIP IN THE ROAD. CONSTANT PROBLEMS WHEN PARKING DUE TO THE FRONT END OF MY QUEST BEING TOO LOW AND SCRAPING THE CURB. PROBLEM WITH HEATING SYSTEM IN THE REAR, ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR REGARDLESS OF SETTING IT TO HEAT. THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN MY CAR IS RUNNING (THIS WAS ALSO EXPERIENCED IN MY 1993 QUEST) ONLY COMPACT INCIDENT WAS WHEN MY TRANMISSION PAN CRACKED GOING DOWN THE STREET AND GOING DOWN A DIP IN THE ROAD (NOT A POT HOLE). OTHER THAN THESE THINGS I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASES, VERY RELIABLE BUT THESE ARE A FEW THINGS I'VE NOTICED AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER MY CONCERNS TO FURTHER BE INVESTIGATED.

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
MY NISSAN QUEST(2000 MODEL) HAD PAINT CHIPS ON THE HOOD AFTER A YEAR WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHEN WE RELATED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER THE COMPANY INSPECTOR CAME OUT TO TELL US THE CAR WAS JUST REPAINTED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RECORD THAT THE CAR WAS REPAINTED! I WAS SO OUTRAGED THAT THEY HAD THE GALL TO LIE TO ME! BASICALLY THE CAR'S PAINT WAS MARRED AND IT WASN'T EVEN TEN YEARS AFTER THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND THEY STILL DID NOTHING. I WISH TO WARN OTHER NISSAN DRIVERS THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS UNRELIABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON. THAT IS ALL.*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SINCE APRIL 7, 2003, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR A NOISE IN THE DRIVE SYSTEM. IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AT THAT TIME HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE BEEN BACK 6 ADDITIONAL TIMES TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY CREATED NEW PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER THEY ORDER THAT THE CAR GET A NEW TUNE UP ALTHOUGH I HAD ONE IN NOVEMBER AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I HAVE HAD MY FUEL INJECTION WORK DONE 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER. THE CAR IS STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN WITH THE NOISE IN THE DRIVE SYSTEM AND AGAIN ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD IT. PLEASE SEND GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT I COULD DO TO GET RID OF THIS LEMON.
