WHEELS
WHILE TRAVELING ON A FAMILY TRIP FROM CLEARWATER, FL. TO BOONE NC, I NOTICED A SCRAPING SOUND FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AS I SLOWED TO A STOP. I INVESTIGATED AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I RESUMED MY TRIP AND AS I WAS ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED A KNOCKING SOUND STARTED AND IT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND AGIN INVESTIGATED. I CHECKED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, FINDING NOTHING. I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FORD/LINCOLN/ MERCURY DEALER CLOSEBY. I WENT THERE AND ASKED IF THERE WAS SOMEONE THAT COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR FOR ME AS I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT END. THE SERVICE REP TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND FOUND THAT THE WHEEL COVER HAD SEVERAL BROKEN RETAINERS AND THAT IT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE NOISE. HE SWITCHED THE FRONT WHEEL COVER WITH THE REAR AND ASKED ME TO DRIVE AROUND AND SEE IF THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I DROVE AROUND AND HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. I RETURNED AND ASKED THE SERVICE GUY TO RIDE WITH ME SO THAT HE COULD HEAR WHAT I HEARD. HE DID AND ANNOUNCED THAT IT MIGHT BE A BAD CV JOINT. HE REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY DOWN THE STREET. I DROVE THERE AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL HAD TWO CRACKS WHICH WAS ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO FLES THUS CRETING THE NOISE I HEARD. HE ALSO COMMENTED THAT HE AND NEVER SEEN A STEEL WHEEL CRACK LIKE MINE. HE WELDED THE CRACKS INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY AND INSTALLED IT ON THE RIGHT REAR POSITION. *AK

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I PURCHASED THIS VAN USED. BEGINNING OF JULY AIR-CONDITIONER BECAME SPORADIC. SEEMED TO QUIT WORKING WHEN IT BECAME VERY HOT, BUT THEN WOULD START BACK WHEN SPEED INCREASED OR AIR TEMPS COOLED. IN AUGUST IT QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. GAUGES SHOWED VERY HIGH PRESSURE READINGS. REPLACED EVERY SINGLE AIR CONDITIONER COMPONENT. WEATHER HAD COOLED, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THIS JULY, WHEN TEMPS GOT IN THE 90'S IT DID IT AGAIN. HAVE HAD MORE WORK DONE TO NO AVAIL. I DID NOT SEE THIS PROBLEM UNDER NISSAN. WHEN GETTING PARTS, I WAS TOLD A/C WAS SAME AS MERCURY VILLAGER. I FOUND SAME PROBLEM LISTED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 982016, NHTSA #SB603701. NO REMEDY OR BULLETIN WAS AVAILABLE. HELP! *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
MY 1995 NISSAN QUEST STOPPED SUDDENLY ON APRIL 7, 2000 APPROX. 4:30 PM DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN WASH DC ON PENN. AND BRANCH AVE. I HAD NO WARNING SIGNS NOR ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK THAT TOWED MY CAR TO WARDS IN HILLCREST HEIGHTS, MD. NISSAN CLOSES EARLY WITH NO WEEKEND SUPPORT AND I NEEDED MY CAR SERVICED IMMEDIATELY. WARDS CHECKED MY CAR AND FIND THAT MY "TIMING BELT" HAD BROKEN. I INFORMED WARDS NOT TO FIX IT BECAUSE I HAD MY "TIMING BELT" CHANGED 10 MONTHS AGO (06/10/99) AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. I ARRANGED TOWING AGAIN (AT MY EXPENSE) TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED FROM WARDS TO NISSAN. NISSAN CHECKED MY CAR AND INFORMED ME THAT THE "TIMING BELT" HAD BROKEN DUE TO A BROKEN HEAD BOLT THAT HAD FALLEN A BROKE THE TIMING BELT. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM NISSAN WENT I BOUGHT THE CAR, SO EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED -- IT WASN'T, BECAUSE THE COVERAGE DIDN'T COVER NUTS AND BOLTS. I WAS OUTAGE AND HAD BEEN SOLD A PRODUCE THAT I COULDN'T USE AND UNDER FALSE PRETENSE. NISSAN SERVICE MANGER (LARRY)AT PASSPORT NISSAN EXPLAINED TO MY HUSBAND AND I MY CAR HAD AN ENGINE THE SAME AS THE NISSAN MAXIMA; AND HE HAS SEEN THE MOTOR ON THESE CARS DO THE SAME AS MIND WHEN THE REACH APPROX 75,000 MILES. SINCE, THIS SERVICE MANAGER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE KEPT UP THE SERVICE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE PROBLEMS I HAD. IT COSTED MY $1697.00 TO GET THIS FIX AND I JUST PAID THEM $657.00 IN JUNE. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER.
