I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THE VEHICLE AT FIRST WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START VEHICLE. NOW THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND IT HESITATES ON ACCELERATION.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2011 NISSAN QUEST IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ON TWO SEPARATE TRIPS THIS SUMMER MY QUEST HAS SEEMINGLY BEEN INCAPABLE OF DOWN SHIFTING TO GAIN POWER DURING PASSING OR CLIMBS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS DURING SEVERAL HOURS OF EXTENDED DRIVING TIME BUT DURING NORMAL AROUND TOWN DRIVING IT OPERATES WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAVE NOW HAD MY QUEST SERVICED AT TWO SEPARATE DEALERS, ONE IN FLORIDA AND THE OTHER IN OHIO, BOTH FOUND NOTHING AT ALL WRONG. INCIDENT ONE OCCURRED IN LATE JUNE 2016 WHILE IN THE APPALACHIAN'S DURING BOTH THE DESTINATION AND RETURN TRIP (RETURN TRIP AFTER A DEALER TRANSMISSION SERVICE). THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN 50-60 MPH WHILE CLIMBING EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL COMPLETELY PRESSED. NO ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE SIX PASSENGERS WITH LUGGAGE AND 95+ OUTDOOR TEMPS. INCIDENT TWO OCCURRED IN LATE JULY 2016 WHILE TRAVELING IN FAIRLY FLAT MICHIGAN AND OHIO. IN THIS CASE I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN 80MPH BUT UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO PASS. BUT ONE VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT AND IN FACT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR-ENDED WAS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND CHANGE LANES BUT HAD ZERO POWER PRESSING THE PEDDLE COMPLETELY DOWN. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE FIVE PASSENGERS WITH LUGGAGE AND LOW 70S OUTDOOR TEMP. I CURRENTLY HAVE A NISSAN CORPORATE ENGINEER SCHEDULED TO EVALUATE MY VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OUR NISSAN QUEST HAS BEEN STALLING OUT WITH LESS THAN BETWEEN 1/2 AND 1/4 TANK OF GAS ON A DOWNHILL. IT IS MOSTLY HAPPENING WHILE STOPPED AT STOPLIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS, BUT CAN SPUTTER, SHAKE AND ACT LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING PROPER FUEL SUPPLY ON DOWNSLOPES EVEN WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES ON BUSY STREETS, LEAVING ME VULNERABLE TO REAR END COLLISIONS. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH US MOST DAYS AND WE CANNOT HAVE OUR CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A 6 LANE ROAD. AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WE LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ON LINE AND SAW THAT INDEED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER, OUR VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT NOW, YET IT IS STILL A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
OUR 2011 NISSAN QUEST IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED, SUCH AS ON THE FREEWAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR AWHILE, THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO MAKE A RINGING TYPE SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING. IT ALSO STRUGGLES TO DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, TAKING SEVERAL SECONDS TO ENGAGE IN THE DOWNSHIFT FOR MORE POWER AND THEN JERKING ROUGHLY. IT HAS LEFT US VULNERABLE TO A SITUATION IN WHICH WE COULD CRASH BY NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER VEHICLE QUICKLY. ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC AT OUR SERVICE STATION, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN'S GEARLESS TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE MODELS.

THE CAR WOULD STALL AND THE STEERING WOULD GO OUT, WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENED DAILY SINCE MAY OF 2016. IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO GO FROM STOPPED TO A STARTING POSITION, IT WOULD TAKE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO PUSH DOWN ON ACCELERATOR TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE.

ENGINE
I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE CENTER MANY TIMES FOR A LOSS OF POWER. THEY HAD ME REPLACE THE ECU, WHICH HAD TO BE PROGRAMMED, THEN THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I BOUGHT ALL THREE OF THOSE. AFTER THAT IT NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED FOR THE AIR/FUEL RATIO. STILL RAN THE SAME. I BROUGHT IT INTO A DIFFERENT SHOP, THEY SAID IT HAD A BAD THROTTLE. MY BROTHER HAD ONE I HAD PUT IN BUT STILL NO POWER, AND HESITATION AT ACCELERATION AND UP HILLS, AND MISFIRES AND BACKFIRES A LOT. ONE OF THE CODES THEY FOUND FOR ME WAS A TIMING ISSUE. MY BROTHER HAS SAME VAN TOLD ME HE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. I'VE HEARD A RATTLING AND WHINING NOISE FROM TIMING AREA, SO I LOOKED INTO THIS FURTHER. BACK IN 2004 NISSAN ISSUED A TSB REGARDING THIS ISSUE TELLING TECHNICIANS TO MAKE A "GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT" TO PUSH BACK REPAIRS OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE LEARNING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN SHOULD IT FAIL. I DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THAT VAN AND BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. APPARENTLY NOT. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS EVEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. I CURRENTLY AWAIT TO HEAR FROM A SUPERVISOR TO GIVE THEM AN EARFUL AND TO FIND OUT THE REASONS WHY IT WILL NOT BE FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IF CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH WE TRAVEL ALMOST EVERY DAY), THIS WOULD LEAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY CRIPPLED AND UNABLE TO STEER OUT OF THE WAY OF ANY DANGER. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED IF NOT KILLED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT FROM THIS IF NOT ALREADY. IT'S A SHAME NISSAN DOESN'T SEE THE VALUE OF POTENTIALLY SAVING ITS CUSTOMERS LIVES VS. THE COST OF MAKING NECESSARY REPAIRS. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'LL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL I HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. WITH 40 MILES LEFT TO GO, ACCORDING TO MY GAUGE, MY VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC, ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHILE TURNING LEFT INTO GAS STATIONS. WHEN I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO A DEALER AND TO NISSAN AMERICA I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND REQUIRED THE SAME REPAIR AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES. I WAS CHARGED OVER $300 FOR REPROGRAMMING MY COMPUTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS STOPPED WORKING.
