ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED BROKEN BOLTS ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS HAS CAUSED AN EXHAUST LEAK WHICH ALLOWS FUMES TO ESCAPE INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. A SURVEY OF OTHER NISSAN QUEST OWNERS (93/94) SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH REPAIRS COSTING WELL OVER 1000 DOLLARS. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DFECT WHICH OCCURS DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY - THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE TIGHTENED BEYOND THE RECOMMENDED TORQUE. USER DESCRIPTION OF THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE FOUND AT THE NISSAN WEBSITE ON THE OWNER BULLETIN BOARD. *AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
ENGINE CHECK LIGHT IS ON INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS BEEN SINCE BEFORE 60,000M WARRANTY RAN OUT. NAPA NISSAN FAILED TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM--AT 52500 MILE CHECK THEY STATED THAT "O2 SENSOR CODE" DETECTED, BUT "O2 SENSOR OKAY AT THIS TIME." I WONDER IF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK MAY BE RELATED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
WE BOUGHT THE VAN W/38,000 MILES ON IT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A BIT LOUD. DEALER REASSURED ME THAT MOST VANS WERE LOUDER THAN CARS. THIS WAS OUR FIRST MINI VAN. NOISE KEPT GETTING LOUDER WITH TIME. I PUT ON NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE MANIFOLD. IT QUIETENED DOWN SOME. TOOK IT BACK TO MUFFLER SHOP AND THEY RECHECKED IT AND INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE MANIFOLD BOLT HAD SHEARED OFF. SAID IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT HE SAW OFTEN IN THE MERCURY VILLAGERS AND NISSAN QUESTS. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AS THE BOLTS MUST BE BORED OUT. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR WEB SIGHT AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS SAME THING. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, BY THE TIME WE FOUND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS-THE WARRANTY WAS OUT. HOW CONVENIENT. I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THIS VAN, BUT I WON'T HAVE ANOTHER NISSAN. *AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I OWN AN 94 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN. THE POWER DOOR LOCK KEEP LOCKING BY ITSELF INTERMITTENTLY (WHEN THE VAN IS RUNNING, OR WHEN THE THE DOOR IS CLOSING, OR WHEN THE I TOUCH THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN, OR WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO UNLOCK/OPEN THE DOOR.)I'D BEEN COMPLAINED THIS TO NISSAN CORPORATION, NISSAN DEALERS SINCE 1995. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO VARIOUS DEALERS FOR REPAIR ON ADVICE FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE (1-800-NISSAN-1) AND WASTED SO MUCH OF MY TIME JUST TO SIT ALL DAYS WAITING FOR THE FAMILIAR RESULTS: CAN NOT DUPLICATE; CAN NOT FIX. EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR LOCK BY ITSELF IN FRONT OF THE SERVICE MANAGERS. THEY ARGUMENTS: IT MUST LOCKS ITSELF IN FRONT OF THE MECHANICS AND MUST DOES IT EVERY TIME ( I NOT ALLOWED IN MECHANIC'S AREA.) FINALLY, AFTER SPENT SO MUCH OF MY TIME IN VARIOUS DEALER'S SERVICE WAITING ROOMS, A DEALER FIXED IT IN LATE 1997 WITH I PAY $50.00 COPAY BECAUSE "OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD". NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK, THE POWER DOOR KEEP ACTIVATING ON IT OWN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE IT WITH THE SAME ARGUMENT AS BEFORE: CAN NOT DUPLICATE, CAN NOT FIX.I HAVE A GOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY NISSAN CORPORATION FOR SEVEN (7) YEARS COVER BUMPER TO BUMPER (1994-2000). IT SEEMED AS JUST IS A PIECE OF WORTHLESS PAPER! IT COVERS NOTHING AND ENFORCES NOTHING. IN ADDITION TO THE INJURY, NISSAN CORPORATION'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY SERVICE IS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY NOT NISSAN. I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED. ARE THERE ANY THING ELSE THAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS FIX???HELP.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY EMAIL: [email protected]
