MICHELIN PAX SYSTEM TIRES ON A 2006 NISSAN QUEST SE. WE HAVE THE MICHELIN PAX TIRES ON OUR MINIVAN AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOSING AIR, ARE VERY LOUD AND STIFF, AND WORST OF ALL ARE VERY POOR AND DANGEROUS IN SNOW. WE HAVE NOT HAD GOOD LUCK THIS PAST WEEK MANEUVERING OUR MINIVAN IN ANY TYPE OF SNOW OR ON ANY SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE. OUR VEHICLE CAN NOT HAVE ANY OTHER TYPE OF TIRE BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM THAT IS INSTALLED FROM FACTORY AND WE ONLY HAVE 21,000 MILES ON THE VAN AND NEED NEW TIRES WHICH COST ON UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY (OVER $1200) FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES WHEN THEY ARE STILL VERY NEW!!! NO DEATHS OR INJURIES YET AND WE HOPE THERE NEVER ARE. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE OUR TIRES EVERY YEAR FOR THAT COST AND FROM SOME OTHER PEOPLE WE HAVE TALKED TO AT THE TIRE STORES AND AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE WILL HAVE TO GET NEW TIRES ABOUT EVERY 20-30K AND THAT THE TIRES DO NOT HANDLE WELL IN SNOW OR RAIN. WELL, SOUNDS UNSAFE TO ME! NOR DO THEY HOLD AIR VERY WELL SO MY LITTLE KIDS AND I ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET AIR IN THE TIRES AT THE LOCAL GAS STATIONS. ABSURD! PLEASE HELP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT EITHER LOCAL TRAFFIC SPEEDS OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE FAILURE IS THAT, WHILE BRAKING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN, AS IF THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN DEPRESSED FOR PASSING, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO DROP TO A LOWER GEAR AND THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD. THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE VIGOROUSLY DEPRESSED TO COUNTERACT THE ACCELERATION. EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT, IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN RETURNED TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT. THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED SIX TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE MOST RECENT BEING ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE AS I APPROACHED A DANGEROUS CURVE ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT OBSTRUCTED BY THE FLOOR MAT OR ANY OTHER OBJECT DURING THESE INCIDENTS, NOR WAS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO EISENHAUER NISSAN ON AT THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENT ON NOVEMBER 17, 2009. I ALSO CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TO REPORT THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OR CORRECT IT BECAUSE THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WAS NOT OCCURRING AT THAT MOMENT. ON NOVEMBER 17 NISSAN REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE OWEN WELCH RESPONDED TO MY SECOND CALL TO NISSAN HQ, BUT TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING NISSAN COULD DO FOR ME. AT MY INSISTENCE HE SAID HE WOULD FOLLOW UP. WELCH CALLED AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 23, 2009 TO INFORM ME THAT NISSAN COULDN'T HELP AND THAT HE WAS CLOSING MY FILE. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN QUEST. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR MISCLASSIFIED A SMALL STATURE ADULT AS A CHILD. AS A CONSEQUENCE IN A SITUATION THAT WARRANTS, THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THE TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,000. UPDATED 12/09/09 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT SET UNTIL A WEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 120 LBS IS OCCUPYING THE SEAT. UPDATED 12/10/09.*JB

TIRES
FAILURE OF MICHELIN PAX TIRE ON 2006 NISSAN QUEST. *NJ THE VEHICLE HAD RUN FLAT TIRES AND DID NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A JACK OR SPARE TIRE. MICHELIN CLAIMED THE VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN SAFELY FOR UP TO 25 MILES EVEN IF THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 2/10 OF A MILE AND THE INNER RING WAS DAMAGED. WHILE THE CONSUMERS WIFE WAS DRIVING, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE. THE CONSUMER PLACED AIR IN THE TIRE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME. A LOCAL MICHELIN DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THEY DID NOT SERVICE RUN FLAT TIRES. THE CONSUMER THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THEY TOO STATED THEY WERE NOT EQUIPPED TO THE SERVICE THE WHEEL AND TIRE PROVIDED BY NISSAN MOTORS. THE CONSUMER WAS GIVEN ANOTHER LOCATION TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE TO. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRES WERE FLAWED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS NOT TOLD WITH THE MICHELIN PAX TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSTALLED, THE VEHICLE BECAME DEDICATED TO ONLY USING THE PAX WHEEL SYSTEM . *JB

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH, THE STEERING COLUMN BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN BUSHINGS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS THREE YEARS OLD; THEREFORE, THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 30,900. UPDATED 6/8/09 *CN UPDATED 06/11/09.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, TIRES, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2006. IT WAS SOLD WITH THE TUBLESS TIRES OR TIRES THAT CAN BE DRIVEN OVER 100 MILES TO THE NEAREST PLACE THAT CAN HELP YOU. THE FIRST SET OF TIRES WERE EXACTLY LIKE THE SECOND SET OF TIRES. THEY WERE ROTATED AND BALANCED AND INFLATED TO MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATIONS. THE TIRES DID NOT LAST EVEN A YEAR. I HAD TO REPLACE EACH SET DUE TO POOR WEARING. THEY BECAME TREADLESS AND THE CORDS WERE ACTUALLY WEARING THROUGH THE TIRES. I STILL HAVE MY LAST SET FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK AT. ONE OF THE TIRES WERE ACTUALLY FLAT BUT DUE TO THE FAULTY MAKE OF THE TIRE MY CARES SENSORS DID NOT DETECT THAT THE TIRE WAS ACTUALLY RUNNING FLAT. THE TIRE IS VERY UNSAFE AND IS A HAZARD . THE ROTORS AND BRAKES ALSO SHAKE WHEN YOU MASH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE SINCE PUT NEW TIRES ON THAT ARE REGULAR TIRES AND NOT TUBLESS TIRES. I HAVE ALSO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO HAS TURNED THE ROTORS AND PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS. I ALSO HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO HAS ON THE FIRST VISIT TURNED THE ROTORS AND ADJUSTED THE BRAKE PADS AND ON THE NEXT VISIT HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND BRAKEPADS BOTH. I AM STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY ROTORS AND BRAKES. THE ROTORS SHAKE WHEN YOU PUT ON THE BRAKES STILL. MY TIRES HAVE BEEN FINE SINCE I CHANGED TIRES. *TR

MY NISSAN QUEST 2006 MODEL HAS HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR REPLACED 3 TIMES. IT CONTINUES TO FALL OUT OF PLACE INTO THE DRIVERS VIEW. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN 4TH TIME AND HIT MY WIFE IN THE FACE WHILE SHE WAS BREAKING AT AN INTERSECTION. IT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF IT FAILS AND DROPS TO RESTRICT VIEW WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN QUEST IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY REVIEWED FRONT BRAKES AND REAR BRAKES AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT BRAKES HAD 15% LIFE REMAINING AND THE REAR BRAKES HAD 10% OF THERE LIFE REMAINING. THE TOTAL COST WAS $626.91. THIS VAN HAD ONLY 24,199 MILES ON IT. I WROTE A LETTER TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERIVCE. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANY THING ABOUT THIS REPAID, BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE WORN EVENLY ALL THE WAY AROUND. I TOLD THEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD TELL THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT THEIR BRAKES DO NOT LAST 25,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE IN THE CUSTOMERS BOOK. INSTEAD WE FIND OUT ABOUT THIS THROUGH A SIMPLE TIRE ROTATION. WE HAVE OWNED GM CARS UP TO THIS POINT AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS. THE GM BRAKES WOULD LAST 40 TO 50000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED AND THEY SHOULD BE SENDING OUT A BULLETIN TO ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS BRAKE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEBODY HAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THESE COMMENTS ARE TO BE ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT - 10222492. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER ON TWO DIFFERENT TIMES; ONCE AT 8,000 MILES AND ANOTHER TIME AT 15,000 MILES. WHEN I HAD MY BRAKES REPLACED AT 24,000 MILES THEY SAID I WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING IT IN AT 10,000 MILES TO CHECK SOME "PINS" ON ALL FOUR WHEELS, THAT CONTROL THE BRAKE PADS. WHEN THEY REVIEWED THE WORK SHEETS FOR THOSE TWO TIMES, THEY WAS NO MENTION OF CHECKING THE BRAKE "PINS". A ITEM AS SERIOUS AS BRAKES SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED AND SHOWN ON THE SCREEN, AS ARE THE OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATION. "CHECK THE BRAKE PINS" IS NOT EVEN SHOWN ON THIS SCREEN. THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS SYSTEM OF A CAR. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A SCREEN WARNING THAT TELLS YOU TO HAVE THESE "PINS" CHECKED. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THEIR BRAKING SYSTEMS AND THE ONUS IS PLACED ON THE CUSTOMER TO READ THE FINE PRINT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TO SEE ALL THESE DETAILS. WHEN IN FACT, IT COULD BE DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION SCREEN. I FEEL THAT NISSAN HAS BLOWN THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS THE COMMENT THAT I WANT ADDED TO COMPLAINT 10222492. *TR

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MOTOR DIED IN SEPT. WAS REPLACED. LAST WEEK DOOR STARTED STICKING AGAIN AND THEN FELL OFF THE TRACK INTO THE STREET WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO BE TOWED AND TAKE A CAB HOME. DEALERSHIP TRYING TO BLAME IT ON AN ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE FIRST MOTOR WAS REPLACED. NISSAN HAS NOT GOTTEN BACK TO US YET. I HAD A 2 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANY LONGER. I LIKE NISSAN, THIS IS MY 4TH CAR FROM THEM BUT I BELIEVE THE DOOR WAS NOT PROPERLY REINSTALLED. *CN
