#715556December 2, 1999
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
DRIVING ON A 2 LANE MOUNTAIN ROAD, SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND POWER, ABLE TO MANUEVER CAR TO ROAD EDGE. HUSBAND DID A COUPLE OF CHECKS UNDER HOOD, REMOVED DISTRIBUTOR COVER AND FOUND A SCREW WITH A WASHER AND LOCK WASHER HAD DISLODGED AND FALLEN OUT, CAUSING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT WARNING. HE WAS ABLE TO PLACE SCREW BACK IN POSITION AND TIGHTEN IT. I WAS LUCKY THATB I WAS NOT ALONE AND THAT THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND US AT THE TIME. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE EVE OF NOV. 28, 1999. I WAS WITH TWO OF MY CHILDREN AND, ONCE AGAIN, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF POWER. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS VERY LUCKY IN THAT I WAS ACROSS A 6LANE ROAD FROM A SHOPPING CENTER AND I COULD CALL FROM HELP AT A STORE THERE. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MANUEVER THE VAN TO THE ROADSIDE. MY HUSBAND ARRIVED TO FIND THAT THEY EXACT SAME THING HAD ACCURRED. HAD THIS BEEN ON A FREEWAY, I FEEL IT COULD CREATE A DEADLY SITUATION AS IS THE LOSS OF SPEED IS SO FAST THAT A VEHICLE BEHIND COULD SLAM INTO THE VAN. I MENTIONED THE OCCURRENCE TO A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER NOTED AFTER THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE, BUT HE EXPRESSED NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY VEHICLE RECALLS IN THIS AREA. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE SERVICE DEPT.(YESTERDAY)WITH VERNON IN PARTICULAR, WHO IS VERY NICE

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:ELECTRICAL HEATING ELEMENT
BACKLIGHTING ON HEATING/AC/DEFROST CONTROLS BEGAN TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AFTER 2 YEARS AND NOW USUSALLY NEVER WORKS. WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL BEGAN TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY IN 1998. WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE WIPER WILL TURN ON, AND ONLY IF SET ON THE FASTEST SPEED. SLOW INTERMITTENT CONTROLS DON'T WORK AT ALL. CLEANING FLUID PUMP AND WIPER CONTROL WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
SLIDING DOOR LOCK HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT NEVER STAYS REPAIRED. CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE AT TIMES, CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED WITH KEY. REPAIRED DEFECTIVE FAN IN JULY 99. AIR CONDITIONED IS FULLY CHARGED BUT IS BLOWING HOT AIR. UNABLE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM, BUT APPEAR TO BE RELATIVELY NEW HOSES. HOSES ARE GOODYEAR, SO I ASSUME THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE. AS SECOND OWNER, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THESE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE.

#709891August 11, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
WHILE FUELING MY 1995 NISSAN QUEST I NOTICED FUEL DRIPPING FROM UNDERNEATH. I HAD BEEN NOTICING A FUEL SMELL FOR SOMETIME AFTER FUELING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL THE LEAK DEVELOPED. WHEN I GOT WHERE I COULD MAKE A COMPLETE INSPECTION I CRAWLED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND FOUND THERE ARE 2 RUBBER LINES WHICH LEAD FROM THE FUEL NECK INTO THE GAS TANK. I NOTED THAT THE SMALL LINE (KNOW AS A VENT LINE) HAD SOME CRACKS IN IT AND ALSO I COULD SEE VAPORS EMITTING FROM THE CRACKS. I FEEL LIKE THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND ALSO A HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE AUTO BECAUSE THOSE VAPORS COULD POSSIBLY ENTER INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. ALSO THIS IS AN ENVIROMENTIAL HAZARD SINCE GAS VAPORS ARE ALLOWED TO VENT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AND ALSO SOME MECHANICS AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I REPLACED THE VENT HOSE ON MY AUTO AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE CURED THE PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND SHOULD THERE BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THEN THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A BETTER QUALITY RUBBER.
