#751910September 8, 2001
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
AS REPORTED ON CBS EYE ON AMERICA ON SEPT. 7, 2001, I HAVE A NISSAN QUEST WITH DEMON LOCKS. THEY DOORS LOCK 75%+ OF THE TIME WHEN I TOUCH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE (INSIDE OR OUT) OR CLOSE THE DOOR. WITHOUT THE OUTSIDE KEYPAD I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTING GETTING BACK IN. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS REPORTED SINCE VARIOUS GROUPS ARE SAYING THIS IS ONLY AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND I ALSO BELIEVE THE NISSAN QUEST VAN HAS AN OVERALL ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DUE TO THE NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL ITEMS THAT HAVE FAILED DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

#750596August 16, 2001
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
MY ENGINE HAS AN INTERMITTENT IDLE CONTROL PROBLEM. PERIODICALLY (EVERY WEEK TO TWO WEEKS) MY ENGINE WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING IDLE. THE ENGINE STARTS EVERY TIME. AFTER 5 MINS. OF RUNNING TIME, THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED STARTS TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 0 RPM AND 1200 RPM. THE NORMAL IDLE SPEED AFTER THE INITIAL 5 MIN. WARM UP PERIOD IS 700-800 RPM. THIS IDLING PROBLEMS LASTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-20 MINS. IF I DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND LET MY ENGINE REST, THE IDLING PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF. AFTER 20 MINS. I CAN START THE ENGINE AND IT WILL RUN FINE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. IN ADDITION, IF I LEAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR ABOUT 15 MINS., THE IDLING PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF AND THE ENGINE HAS NO PROBLEMS FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIX BECAUSE I CANNOT BRING THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP WITH THE CAR DISPLAYING THIS IDLING CONTROL DIFFICULTY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF AFTER 20 MINS. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE THIS IDLING CONTROL PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIR BUT THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NEVER CAUSE MY CAR TO DISPLAY THIS IDLING CONTROL MALFUNCTION THAT I DESCRIBED. DURING THE WHOLE TIME PERIOD AT THE REPAIR SHOP, MY CAR STARTED EVERY TIME AND MAINTAINED IDLE WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTIES. IN ADDITION, WHEN THEY TRIED TO CHECK THE COMPUTER FOR ANAMOLOUS CONDITIONS, THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE IDLE CONTROL SOFTWARE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME A CONCERN BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I AM AWARE OF NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THESE MANIFOLD STUDS FAILING WAY BEFORE THEIR TIME WHICH INDICATES INFERIOR BOLTS OR POOR DESIGN. ALSO, THERE HAS BEEN MAJOR EMPHASSIS ON SAFETY REGARDING GASES INTRUDING WITHIN THE CABIN SPACE. HOWEVER THIS MAY BE A MAJOR CONCERN, MY QUESTION WOULD BE, IF THERE IS SUCH A HIGH RATE OF FAILURES THAT ARE NOT BEING REPAIRED DUE TO COSTS, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF EMISSIONS TESTING (WHEN THERE ARE GASES ESCAPING)IF WE ARE NOT GOING HOLD THE MANUFACTURERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR INFERIOR WORK AND LACK OF REGARD TO OUR ENVIRONMENT? I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS CARS IN MY TIME AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED MANIFOLD STUDS SHEARING OFF. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. JOHN CLARK. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
LAST FALL WE SMELLED GAS. WE TOOK THE CAR IN AND HAD THE OVERFLOW HOSE REPLACED. LATER, IN THE SPRING, THAT PART WAS RECALLED. AGAIN, THIS WEEK, WE SMELLED GAS. WE TOOK THE CAR AND HAD THE RECALL PART PUT IN. THE NEXT DAY WE STILL SMELLED GAS. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID IT WAS ANOTHER FUEL HOSE WHICH IS UNDER THE MANIFOLD. THAT IS TWO FUEL HOSE LEAKS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THAT IS SCARY. WHAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE $228 TO REPLACE IT? THIS IS A HUGE FIRE HAZARD. I AM BECOMING SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE AND STUDS REMAINED IN MANIFOLD. EXHAUST LEAKED IN ENGINE BAY. WAS TOLD BY NISSAN DEALER THAT POSSIBLE AFFIXIATION COULD RESULT FROM RUNNING THE AC AND THE EXHAUST LEAK CREATED BY THE BROKEN BOLTS. THERE WAS A QUEST THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HAD QUEST FIXED ELSEWHERE. WHEN DOING OIL CHANGE A MONTH LATER, ANOTHER QUEST WITH SAME PROBLEM. WAS TOLD BY NISSAN MECHANIC AND MY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN THE VAN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE ON THE EXHAUST LEAK. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALER, THE EMMISIONS COULD BE NON ODOROUS AND MAY NOT BE DETECTED BY SMELL. I FEEL THIS IS EQUALLY OR EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THENA THE FUEL VENT PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IS INVISIBLE. AT LEAST YOU COULD SMELL THE GAS LEAK AND SEE THE GAS ON THE GROUND.*AK
