VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE, THE CAR 'REVED UP' AND BEGAN MOVING FORWARD. WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT, I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD, SO I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO 'PARK'. AT THAT POINT, IT MADE A HIDEOUS GRINDING NOISE, SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT SOUNDED FINE. I THEN DROVE THE CAR HOME, (ABOUT 5 MILES), WITHOUT INCIDENT.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASE A USED NISSAN QUEST IN JUNE 2016 COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTS FLASHING. ANOTHER THING IS THE CLUSTER THAT READS OVER HEARING AND MILES FLASHES AND TWITCHES. MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE HAD 121,246 MILES I'M THE SECOND OWNER. I TOOK TO COURTESY NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, BUT I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND CAN'T STOP WORRYING SINCE THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IS THE SENSORS AND TIMING CHAIN GAVE UP SOON. ALSO AT TO REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN A HOLE IN MY POCKET SINCE I PURCHASED. STATES THERE IS A RECALL BUT I'M NOT SURE

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VAN TURNS ON BUT IT LOSES SPEED WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS VERY HARD TO MAKE IT ACCELERATE ONCE IT COMES TO A STOP, THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T. NOW THEY THINK IT IS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH COMPUTER

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ECM (COMPUTER) IS PLACEMENT IS UNDER WINDSHIELD. WHICH OVER TIME ALLOWS WATER TO RUN DOWN INTO THE ECM CAUSING EROSION AND HOLES IN THE HOUSING AND COMPUTER. THEN WATER GETS INTO THE COMPUTER CAUSING IT FAIL COMMUNICATING OR NOT PROPERLY COMMUNICATING WITH THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO OWN. MY COMPUTER IS DAMAGED DUE TO ITS PLACEMENT AND WATER HITTING OVER TIME. THIS HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO SHAKE AND SEND ERRORS THAT CAUSE THE CYLINDER TO MISS FIRE. I WAS DRIVING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS CAUSING VAN TO STALL. CAN HAPPEN JUST TRAVELING DOWN HIGHWAY. HAPPENS AS YOU TRY TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. SO SLUGGISH YOU ARE AFRAID YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. CAN HAPPEN JUST TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE. FRIGHTENING WHEN IN THAT SITUATION WITH EIGHTEEN WHEELERS IN YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR. HAVE TAKEN TO NISSAN CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP EACH TIME.

THE THREE LINEAR SOLENOIDS IN THE TRANSMISSION FAIL, CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE SHIFTING. SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE ONCE ENGINE IS WARM WILL CAUSE A CLUNK IN TRANSMISSION. ALSO, DOWNSHIFT CREATES TRANSMISSION SURGE.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) OF THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND THEN SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE DRAGGED AND SLIPPED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE PROBLEM IS UNIQUE TO NISSAN, PARTICULARLY QUEST, BUT NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. THE TCS LIGHT AND THE SLIP LIGHT CAME ON AND A SUDDEN JACK BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A HALT. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON THOUGH THE CAR WAS SERVICED JUST THE MONTH BEFORE AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN USING IT BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER WERE NOT DISPLAYING FULLY/PROPERLY. NISSAN HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IN THE 2006 AND EARLIER MODELS OF THE QUEST. THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER PROBLEM BECAME A PROBLEM IN QUEST ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHES 70,0000KM/MILES, AND BY THEN THE WARRANTY WOULD HAVE LAPSED. NISSAN FIXED THIS MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM IN 2007 AND AS SUCH THE PROBLEM DOES NOT AFFLICT MODELS SINCE 2007. MY QUEST STARTING EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE ODOMETER REACHED 71,000. NOW THE ODOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER APPEAR FULLY AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE AND YOU CANNOT READ THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE CLEARLY. NISSAN HAS AN OBLIGATION AND DUTY TO FIX THE ODOMETERS AND FUEL GAUGE OF THE SUBSEQUENT MODELS. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALARM BEEPS WHEN SET BUT DOES NOT SOUND IF CAR IS BROKEN INTO. CAR WAS PARKED. POWER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS SHUT WHEN POWER BUTTON IS PUSHED. DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK AND LATCH AS WELL. DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO WHEN CLOSING DOES NOT STOP IF SOMEONE IS IN THE WAY. CAUGHT MY FOUR YR OLD DAUGHTER'S LEG AND SHUT ON IT. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON EVEN WHEN TIRES ARE COMPLETELY AIRED UP. BACK REAR DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS OPEN WHETHER BUTTON INSIDE VAN OR REMOTE KEY IS PUSHED. HAS TO FORCEFULLY BE OPENED AND SHUT. SOMETIMES WILL SLAM SHUT AND IT HAS FALLEN ON MY BACK BEFORE. MANY ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE DASH AND CONSOLE DO NOT ALWAYS WORK OR REGISTER.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT SLAMS INTO GEAR. MAKES AN AWFUL BANGING NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. LOSING TRANS FLIUD, SEEMS LIKE WE ARE GOING THROUGH JUGS OF FLUID. ALSO HAD A COOLANT LEAK, EVEN AFTER HAVING NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED, STILL SMELL COOLANT AND IT'S BEEN A WHILE WHEN THE CARE IS BEING CHECKED, MECHANIC CAN'T SEEM TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VERY FRUSTRATING AND SCARY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING. HAPPENS MORE SO WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING OR IF THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE, THERE IS ALMOST NO POWER. I PULLED INTO A CAR DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT SOME USED CARS. THE VAN'S ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN DRIVE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, WE MOVED FORWARD VERY SLOWLY. LOW AND OVER DRIVE WERE NO BETTER, BUT REVERSE SEEMED FINE. FORWARD GEARS HAVE VERY LITTLE POWER.

ENGINE
TRANSMISSION JERKS/SLIPS BETWEEN GEARS ON DAILY BASIS. THIS JUST APPEARED IN THE SPRING AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING/INCREASING PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO MECHANIC AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND ASKED FOR RESOLUTION. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT IF TAKE FOOT OFF GAS, COAST, THEN PUT FOOT ON GAS AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE JERK IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO AFFECT THE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE CAR. IT SEEMS LIKE EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL JUST NOT ENGAGE AND I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT ON SIDE OF ROAD.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2006 NISSAN QUEST 3.5 SE MINIVAN. THE TRANSMISSION HAS AIR-FLOW PROBLEMS, HARD SHIFT, ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, AND GEAR SHIFTING PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL HARD-SHIFT WHILE DECELERATING AND PARKING. WHILE ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR (MAKING A RACING SOUND/LIKE RAPIDLY ACCELERATING) THEN JUMP (MAKING A HARD JOLTING KNOCKING NOISE - ESPECIALLY WHILE ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AROUND 50-55-60MPH). DURING DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A SOUND SIMILAR TO A RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVE THAT HAS GOTTEN LOUDER OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ALSO, THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE OF SLOW ACCELERATION WHILE APPROACHING 20MPH. BEYOND 20MPH THE ACCELERATION IS FINE. THIS ISSUE WAS TEMPORARY BUT WORRYING BECAUSE THERE WAS A DISTINCT SMELL OF SOMETHING OVERHEATING COMING NOT FROM THE ENGINE ITSELF, BUT FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND LET IT COOL DOWN FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS, AFTER WHICH THE ACCELERATION ISSUE DISAPPEARED, BUT I FEAR IT WILL RETURN. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC DURING WHICH HE PLUGGED IN THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. IT DIAGNOSED 10 CODES - ALL TRANSMISSION RELATED. I AM FORCED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $2,500.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL GUAGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET, THEN ON A BUSY EXIT RAMP, ONCE ON INTERSTATE 695 IN BALTIMORE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY HIT BY TRAFFIC BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE.
