LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. THE POWER SLIDING DOOR WOULD OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. ALSO THE DOOR WOULD NOT FULLY CLOSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPAIRS MADE TO THE DOOR MECHANISM. HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY BECAUSE HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V186000(LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 63,000.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED FULLY. THE VAN WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE ACCELERATED WHILE MY FOOT WAS TILL ON THE BRAKE. I GRABBED THE SHIFT LEVER AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RACED AT VERY HIGH RPM UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE IGNITION KEY AND TURN IT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED NORMAL SO I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE CUSTOMER FEEDBACK/CONCERN ON THE NISSAN QUEST 2009. LAST WEEK THE VAN OWNER WAS PUTTING THE KIDS IN THE BACK OF THE VAN AND ASKED THE THREE YEAR OLD TO GET IN THE CAR WHILE SHE WAS HELPING THE OTHER 2 YEAR OLD GET IN AS WELL. THE SLIDING DOOR WAS OPENED, MOVED TO THE END BUT NOT LATCHED IN THE OPEN POSITION. IT WAS A WINDY DAY AND THE DOOR STARTED TO SLIDE DOWN TO THE CLOSE POSITION. THE 3 YEAR OLD CHILD WAS GETTING IN AND HAD HIS HAND BY THE DOOR LOCK HELPING HIMSELF UP. AT THAT TIME, THE DOOR CLOSED VERY HARD WITH THE WIND, PINCHED HIS HAND AND LATCHED CLOSED WITH THE CHILD'S HAND IN BETWEEN. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO CHECK HIS HAND. I WORKED AS A DESIGN CONTROLS QUALITY ENGINEER. I AM REQUIRED TO ENSURE WE MINIMIZE ANY POTENTIAL RISK BY BUILDING RISK MITIGATION FEATURES INTO THE DESIGN TO AVOID ANY HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS DUE TO ANY PRODUCT FAILURE OR USER HANDLING. THUS, I AM WRITING TO INQUIRE HOW YOU CAN USE THIS FEEDBACK TO ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY CONCERN? THE QUEST IS MOST LIKELY USED BY FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN. IF THE DOOR SLIDES ITSELF TO THE CLOSE POSITION AND LATCHES CLOSED WITH A KID'S HANDS IN BETWEEN AND THERE IS NO SENSOR TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM CLOSING, OR SOME INDICATION TO THE USER THAT THE DOOR IS NOT LOCKED IN THE OPEN POSITION, OR A WAY TO ENSURE THE DOOR IS ONLY CLOSED BY HUMAN HANDLING, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THEY COULD DO IN THEIR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TO ELIMINATE THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD FROM HAPPENING? *TR

UPDATED 10/06/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS FINALLY BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALER ORDERED AND REPLACED THE BELT BUCKLE FREE OF CHARGE UNDER WARRANTY. UPDATED 10/06/09

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST SE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND WAS TOTALED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACTING STRANGE AND 5 DAYS PRIOR TO THE FIRE WAS THE LAST DAY I DROVE IT. IT WOULD NOT CRANK AFTER I PUT IT IN THE GARAGE AND SO I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER THE NEXT WEEK. IT WAS NOT TOUCHED AFTER THAT DAY UNTIL WE WERE AWOKE BY OUR SMOKE ALARMS. WE OPENED OUR GARAGE DOOR AS IT WAS THE NEAREST EXIT ONLY TO REALIZE THE FIRE WAS IN THE GARAGE. WHEN WE WENT OUTSIDE AROUND TO THE GARAGE WE SAW THAT THE FIRE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VAN OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. *TR

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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE CHANGED AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A YEAR, AND ROTORS HAD TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE THEY WERE ABOUT A 1/2 IN. GONE. STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE EVERY TIME I HAD TO BRAKE. BRAKES NEVER STOP SQUEAKING. FINALLY HAD TO PUT NEW CALIPERS IN ABOUT A WEEK AGO I FINALLY THOUGHT MY BRAKES WOULD BE WORKING FINE AGAIN. WORKED GOOD FOR ONE DAY, SQUEAKING CAME BACK EVERY TIME I BRAKE, STILL HEAR SCRAPPING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR. WHEN IT RAINS FROM FRONT WINDOW LEAKS INTO THE GLASSES HOLDER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. YESTERDAY THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR HAS A HOOK AT THE BACK OF THE DOOR WHEN IT CLOSES IT HOOKS TO IT ALSO, THE PIECE FELL INTO THE DOOR NOW THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE RIGHT. THE SENSOR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN SO NOW THE BOTTOM LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS WAS THE WORSE PURCHASE I MAY HAVE DONE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ITS BEEN PROBLEMS KNOW WONDER THEY ONLY GAVE A 3 YEAR WARRANTY ON IT. SOMETIMES I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE AND IT FAILS TO TAKE OFF, SO I HAVE TO PUT TURN IT OFF WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN TRY IT AGAIN. SO WHAT IS NEXT TO FAIL? EVEN THE BACK PANEL THAT COVERS THE LIGHTS NEAR THE LICENSE PLATE FELL OFF. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM I WORRY ABOUT IS THE BRAKES BECAUSE I HAVE 5 KIDS I REALLY THINK THIS IS A DEFECT ON THIS CAR AND FROM WHAT I READ I AM NOT ALONE ON THE BRAKE ISSUE. I REALLY THINK THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BRAKES. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURRENCES, WHEN THE CONSUMER PRESSED THE KEY FOB TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR, IT WOULD MALFUNCTION AND CLOSE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE PASSENGERS WERE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. DURING THE 4TH MALFUNCTION OF THE DOOR, THE CONSUMER WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE BENDING OVER THE PASSENGER CAR SEAT , WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE HEARD A BALL BEARING FALL INSIDE THE WALL OF THE VAN AND ROLLED ONE HALF INCH AND THEN THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE. THE DOOR HIT THE CONSUMER ON HER LEFT HIP AND ADVANCED HER PELVIS TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED CLOSING UNTIL HER BACK RIGHT UPPER THIGH MADE CONTACT WITH THE D-RING IN THE DOOR FRAME. THE DOOR CONTINUED TO CLOSE PRESSING HER THIGH EVEN MORE. THE DOOR MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN BY NOT SENSING THE CONSUMER'S PRESENCE IN THE DOOR JAMB AND AUTOMATICALLY RETRACTED THE DOOR. THE CONSUMER PLACED HER LEFT SHOULDER ON THE DOOR AND PUSHED AS HARD AS SHE COULD UNTIL THE DOOR RETRACTED IN MANUAL MODE. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED A BRUISE TO HER SKIN AND MUSCLE OF THE BACK OH HER RIGHT UPPER THIGH. UPDATED 08/11/09.*JB

PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE:HYDRAULIC:ACTUATOR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE CONTACT HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE, BUT MANAGED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE HOSE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE BRAKING COMPONENTS OVERHEATED. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE ROTORS, PADS, CALIPER, AND HOSE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED 8,000 MILES LATER. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE PADS AND TURNED THE ROTORS. THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKES LOCKED UP AGAIN. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL THE COMPONENTS AGAIN AND RECHARGED THE CONTACT OVER $300. THE DEALER CURRENTLY STATES THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 1999 NISSAN QUEST ON THE INTERSTATE THE FIRST TIME THE DRIVER FRONT BRAKE LOCKED UP. SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO STONES RIVER NISSAN OF MURFREESBORO, TN WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE CALIPERS, HOSES, ROTORS, AND PADS. THE BRAKE PADS WORE OUT AFTER ONLY 8K MILES. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT SHOP TO HAVE A TIRE REPAIRED AND THE PADS REPLACED AND THE DRIVER'S FRONT LOCKED UP AGAIN ON THE TECHNICIAN WHILE ROAD TESTING HIS REPAIR. THIS SHOP INSISTED ON REPLACING THE DRIVER FRONT BRAKE HOSE DESPITE KNOWING IT WAS RELATIVELY NEW. THIS DID NOT WORK & THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE CALIPER (AGAIN) AND GAVE UP AFTER IT LOCKED UP YET AGAIN. THEY TOWED IT TO SR NISSAN, WHO DIAGNOSED A BAD MASTER CYLINDER & REPLACED IT. DRIVER FRONT BRAKE STILL LOCKED UP AT THE SHOP, NOW DIAGNOSING BAD ABS ACTUATOR THEY SAY WAS CAUSED BY THE SEALS INSIDE THE MC DETERIORATING. MY OPINION IS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, IF PARTICULATES FROM A MC CAN FLOAT AND CLOG AN ABS ACTUATOR TO THE POINT THAT LOCKUP OF AN INDIVIDUAL BRAKE OCCURS. ABS IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT LOCKUP, NOT CAUSE IT. THE BRAKES ARE ACTUALLY FORD DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO ALSO HAD A FORD EXPLORER AND THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKE LOCKED UP ON HER INTERMITTENTLY LIKE MY WIFE'S HAS. THE ABS ACTUATOR IS NOT AVAILABLE NEW ANYMORE, MY ONLY RECOURSE IS TO INSTALL A JUNK PART WHICH IS MOST LIKELY DEFECTIVE. I THINK BOTH COMPANIES NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND I THINK NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO FIND A NEW PART AND PAY FOR INSTALLATION COSTS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. I HAVE NOTICED A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND ASKED THE SERVICE TECH TO SEE IF HE COULD ALSO HEAR THE NOISE. HE SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM MY TIMING CHAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. I WAS QUOTED $3300 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I ALSO TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP AND TWO LI MASTER TECHNICIANS WERE IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF THAT THIS WAS INDEED THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THEN WHY IS IT THAT I WILL NOW HAVE TO PUT $3300 INTO A VEHICLE THAT I STILL OWE $15,000 ON AND IF I TRADE IT IN I WILL HAVE ABOUT $5,000 IN NEGATIVE EQUITY? I BOUGHT A NISSAN BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST ME A LONG TIME. AFTER WE PAID IT OFF WE WERE PLANNING ON PURCHASING A NISSAN TITAN BUT PROBABLY NOT NOW. I AM SADDENED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT MY CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND IT'S PARKED UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THE REPAIR. *TR

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

TIRES
I OWN A NISSAN QUEST WITH THE MICHELIN PAX RUN-FLAT TIRE SYSTEM. THE PAX RUN-FLAT TIRE SYSTEM IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2007. BY 13 MONTHS, AT 18,000 MILES, 2 OF THE TIRES HAD WORN TO THE POINT WHERE THE DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT 20,600 MILES WE HAD ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED. IN 32NDS OF AN INCH, SEARS MEASURED THE TREAD AT : LEFT FRONT - 1,0,0, RIGHT FRONT - 2,2,1, RIGHT REAR - 3,3,4, LEFT REAR WAS SIMILAR TO RIGHT REAR BUT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A NAIL IN IT. MICHELIN HAD TO COURIER A COMPLETE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO MY HOME ON THE NAILED TIRE BECAUSE THERE IS NO TIRE DEALER WITHIN 20 MILES OF US IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO THAT CAN WORK ON THE PAX TIRES OTHER THAN PERHAPS A HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD US THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON A NISSAN. OUR NISSAN DEALER IS NOT EQUIPPED TO WORK ON THIS TIRE. OUR SITUATION IS NOT UNIQUE. A WEB SEARCH TURNS UP MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT PREMATURE WEAR AND BLOWOUTS WITH THE PAX TIRE SYSTEM. THERE ARE 2 CLASS-ACTION LAWSUITS RELATED TO THE PAX SYSTEM, ONE AGAINST HONDA AND MICHELIN AND ONE AGAINST NISSAN AND MICHELIN. WITH THE WHEELS ON OUR NEW CAR WE CAN ONLY HAVE PAX TIRES SO EITHER WE NEED TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE WHEELS, POTENTIALLY VOIDING OUR WARRANTY, OR CONTINUE TO REPLACE OUR TIRES EVERY 20,000 MILES, ASSUMING WE CAN GET THEM. IT TOOK A WEEK TO HAVE REPLACEMENT TIRES SHIPPED TO CHICAGO. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL GET WORSE THE LONGER WE OWN THE CAR. MICHELIN HAS END OF LIFE THE PRODUCT AND ONLY MANUFACTURES NEW PAX TIRES FOR THOSE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. THIS DECLARATION WAS MADE BY MICHELIN A MERE 4 MONTHS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR CAR NEW. THE MICHELIN PAX TIRE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR HONDA ODYSSEY AND NISSAN QUEST VEHICLES FOR PREMATURE WEAR, DANGER OF BLOWOUTS AND LACK OF PEOPLE THAT CAN SERVICE THEM. NISSAN AND HONDA NEED TO BE FORCED TO REPLACE THE PAX WHEELS WITH WHEELS THAT CAN ACCEPT NORMAL TIRES. *TR

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
