POWER TRAIN
THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. MY NISSAN QUEST 2006 SE WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THIS PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS RISK FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WHEN WE ARE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THEN EXIT AND WAIT AT THE SIGNAL THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND JUST REVS UP WITH ALMOST ZERO ACCELERATION. I WANT NISSAN TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK AND PROVIDE ME A REPLACEMENT. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKE. SO TOOK THE VAN TO MY MECHANIC SAID MY ROTOR NEEDED REPLACING. WHILE SINCE THEN I HAD TO REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS FIVE TIMES. THEY KEEP GETTING BENT. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING STOP WITH NEW ROTORS AND START WHEN ROTORS BEND AGAIN. AND YES THE SHAKING IS UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN IT HAPPENS. SOME ONE TOLD ME THE NISSAN SENTRA HAD THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM TOO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
THE HATCH LIFT WILL NOT CLOSE OR OPEN WITH THE KEY OR PUSH BUTTON; IT IS AN OPEN POSITION. WE CONTACT A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS QUOTE $900 TO REPAIR. IN 2012 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THAT COST US $2500. THE DASHBOARD ALL THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AND THE COST TO REPLACED THAT WHOLE IS OVER $600 JUST FOR THE PARTS NOT INCLUDING LABOR. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VAN WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH IT. BUT IN THE LAST 3YEARS IT HAS GONE DOWN HILL. I CAR THAT WE BOUGHT BRAND NEW FOR OVER $30,000 SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 7 YEARS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN FORCE NISSAN TO LOOK AT ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE IN THIS MODEL. WE ARE PLANNING A NEW CAR NEXT YEAR; AND I KNOW WE WILL NOT BE PURCHASING A NISSAN. *TR

AS YOU START OFF FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION JERKS IN THE LOWER GEARS, THE SPEED SURGES THEN GOES BACK DOWN AND THERE IS AN INFREQUENT KNOCKING NOISE. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO STARTS TO GEAR DOWN AS YOU GO DOWN A DECLINE AT SPEEDS OF 45-50 MPH. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE VAN STARTED TO SHAKE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE AND THEN THERE WAS NO POWER AS THE GAS WAS PRESSED. THE GAS WAS TO THE FLOOR AND THE MAX SPEED WAS 50 MPH. THE MORE YOU DROVE THE WORST IT GOT. I AM ONLY TALKING DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MILE. WHEN YOU FIRST START OUT IT IS NOT AS BAD, BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NOR AM I WILLING TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I HAVE READ ARTICLES ON THIS AND IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM. LETS GET IT TOGETHER NISSAN!!!!! I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF GOING IMPORT IS WORTH IT. I HAVE A 2001 GMC WITH OVER 175,000 WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT AROUND 83700 MILES, THE LAST THREE DIGITS OF THE MILEAGE BECAME GARBLED, AND NOW THEY DON'T SHOW UP AT ALL. ALSO, OTHER INDICATORS ON THE DISPLAY ARE GOING OUT AS WELL, SUCH AS THE GAS GAUGE. THE POSSIBLE SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS ARE OBVIOUS: BEING UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN MAINTENANCE IS DUE, RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY, ETC. *TR

INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO 45 MPH. TRAFFIC BEHIND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BRAKE QUICKLY TO AVOID REAR END COLLISION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT APPROXIMATELY 98000 MILES THE ODOMETER/GAS METER WAS UNREADABLE. APPARENTLY IT IS COMMON IN NISSAN QUESTS TO HAVE THIS PART GO OUT AT OR AROUND 100,000 MILES. POSSIBLY LEAVING THE OCCUPANTS STRANDED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF AWARENESS IN THE AMOUNT OF GAS AVAILABLE. BEING THAT WE WERE TRAVELING ACROSS COUNTRY TO RELOCATE THIS BECAME VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
NISSAN QUEST 2006 SL 40,000 MILES MY SHIFT LEVER STUCK IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I AM PRESSING THE BRAKES AND THEY TOLD ME AT THE DEALER TO USE A SCREWDRIVER TO OVERRIDE THE SHIFT WHICH I THINK IS A HAZARD OR TO REPLACE THE TOTAL SHIFT. BUT I TOLD THEM ITS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT THEY HAVE A VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS MY 2ND CAR WITH NISSAN I USE TO HAVE THE 1999 QUEST. BUT I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN CARS ANY MORE. *KB

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT
MY QUEST WAS PURCHASED 12/06. SINCE THEN THE ODOMETER HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THE BRAKE DISC HAVE MALFUNCTIONED TWICE, EVEN AFTER NISSAN REPLACED THEM. THE RESPONSE FROM NISSAN WAS "HOTSPOTS HAPPEN NORMALLY IN DISCBRAKES". THE MOTOR MOUNTS WENT BAD AFTER 2.5 YEARS. NOW I AM FACED, AFTER A LITTLE MORE THAN 4 YEARS WITH "POWER STEERING PUMP" REPLACEMENT AND "RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
ON JULY 11,2011 I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2006 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN WITH MY TWO CHILDREN FROM MY HOME IN HARWICH, MA TO MY PARENT'S HOME IN ASHFORD, CT. AT ABOUT 1PM ON A DRY ROAD, WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65MPH ON MA ROUTE 25, MY QUEST JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, NO GAS PEDAL RESPONSE, NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES ETC. AND THE RED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. FORTUNATELY , THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE QUEST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE QUEST AND IT THEN AGAIN RAN NORMALLY. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE JULY 12 WITH GATES GMC NISSAN IN WINDHAM, CT. THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM (IN THEIR INVOICE C94977) WAS AS FOLLOWS: "C/S CHECK ENG LIGHT WAS ON, CHECK AND REPORT VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. DID RE-START AND RAN FINE CAUSE PO643 SENSOR POWER SUPPLY FOUND APP SENSORFAULT, NO REPAIR AT THIS TIME, NEEDS GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY." GATES DID NOT HAVE THE ELECTRONIC GAS PEDAL WHICH APPARENTLY CAUSED THIS PROBLEM IN STOCK AND SAID IT WOULD TAKE DAYS TO GET ONE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE QUEST SINCE THEN WITHOUT INCIDENT. CLEARLY ANY MAJOR VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS JUST OCCURRED IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I COULD PULL THE VEHICLE OVER. IF NOT, I COULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK FROM BEHIND. ETC. OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING IS WRONG AS SHOWN BY THE INCIDENT ABOVE. I WOULD APPRECIATE WHATEVER CAN BE DONE TO WARN NISSAN AND ALSO TO FIX MY VEHICLE. I HAVE APPROX. 56,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE HAVE A 2006 NISSAN QUEST WITH 85,000 MILES ON IT. FOR A WHILE WE HAVE BEEN HEARING A WHINE WHEN WE ACCELERATE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN FOR ABOUT $2,700. WHEN I STARTED TO RESEARCH THIS IT SEEMS LIKE THIS A COMMON ENOUGH ISSUE THAT IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. TIMING CHAINS SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES TILL ATLEAST 200,000 MILES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NOW IS BEING REPLACED AT A MINIMUM CHARGE OF $3500. THE TRANSMISSION MECHANIC SAID THAT NISSAN USED SHODDY MATERIALS IN ITS TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE 2006 YEAR. I LIVE IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN AND SAID DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IN ADDITION, I NOTE THAT MANY WEBSITES REFER TO NISSAN VEHICLES HAVING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
