VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS. EXPERIENCE TO DATE IS THAT IT REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO PRESS OR BECOMES IMMOVABLE WHEN TRYING TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL FROM ITS UNDEPRESSED POSITION, SUCH AS WHEN THE ENGINE IS IDLING WHILE THE CAR IS NOT MOVING OR ROLLING AFTER ONE'S FOOT HAS ALLOWED THE PEDAL TO COME UP. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT IN CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT, LOS ANGELES COUNTY (ROBERT MEYER V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA) IN WHICH PLAINTIFF ALLEGED THAT EXCESSIVE CARBONOUS DEPOSITS FORM ON 1999 AND 2000 NISSAN QUESTS IN THE "THROTTLE-BODY ASSSEMBLY" AND THAT THESE DEPOSITS MAY CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO STICK. IF A DEFECT IS JUDGED BY THE OCCURRENCE RELATIVE TO OTHER VEHICLES THIS SEEMS A STRONG CANDIDATE. AND THE DESIGN DEFECT THAT ALLOWS THIS OCCURRENCE PERMITS AN INOPERABLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH CAN PRESENT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE CLASS ACTION NOTICE RECEIVED INDICATES THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST OCTOBER 2000 WHEN IT ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ADVISING ON A CLEANING PROCEDURE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY OUTSIDE THE EXPRESS WARRANTY PERIOD NISSAN SHIFTS THE COSTS OF COMPENSATING FOR ITS POOR, DEFECTIVE DESIGN TO THE CONSUMER BY CONSIDERING IT AS MATTER OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS IN THEIR MAINTENANCE OR OWNERS MANUALS RECEIVED DURING THE PURCHASE OF THEIR PRODUCT. NOR, FOR THAT MATTER, DOES THIS PROBLEM PRESENT ITSELF IN OTHER VEHICLES IS WHICH SUCH "MAINTENANCE" IS NOT NEEDED. *AK

FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY: THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN THE VAN MELTED DUE TO HEAT AND CORROSION. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD SEEN LOTS OF THIS PROBLEM AND ALWAYS OVERSTOCKED THIS PART. DEALER STATED THAT I MUST HAVE NOT REPLACED THE BOOT COVERING CORRECTLY AND IT WAS NOT NISSANS FAULT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN I GOT THE SAME ANSWER. NOT NISSANS FAULT. *LA

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER DARK, I MADE A STOP AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY 2000 NISSAN QUEST THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT GO ON. AFTER SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS TO GET THEM TO COME ON AND AFTER LOOKING AT THE LIGHT BULBS AND REALIZING THEY WERE NOT BLOWN OUT, I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET ONE LIGHT ON TO DRIVE THE SHORT DISTANCE HOME. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE LOOKED AT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, WE DETERMINED THAT THE CONNECTORS ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAD LITERALLY MELTED AWAY. I'D LIKE TO KNOW, SINCE I'VE SEEN AND HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS, WHAT NISSAN IS DOINIG ABOUT THIS. DURING THIS TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, I HAD THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY MINIVAN AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF THE HEADLIGHTS BURNING OUT AGAIN, OR WORSE YET, CAUSING A VEHICLE FIRE!!!*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NOT A SAFETY DEFECT THAT I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT, BUT A COSMETIC I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY. WE PURCHASED THE MINIVAN IN NOV 99, BY AUG OF 2000 WE NOTICED CRACKS ON THE ROOF - THE PAINT OF THE VEHICLE'S ROOF IS NOW TOTALLY PEELED OFF AND RUSTY THE HOOD IS CRACKING TOO. SINCE AUG 2000 WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO GO ABOUT HAVING THE PAINT REPAIRED. WE HAVE GOTTEN THE RUN AROUND FROM THEN UNTIL NOW. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY RANGE SO THAT IS NOW THE REASON NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THEY CANNOT RE-PAINT IT. SEVERAL BODY SHOPS HAVE STATED AND WRITTEN THAT THE VAN DOES NOT HAVE PRIMER UNDER THE PAINT WHICH IS WHY IT IS PEELING THE WAY IT IS. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT FAIR TO ANY CONSUMER REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE MILEAGE ON A VEHICLE IS THAT A VEHICLE BOUGHT NEW AND IS LESS THAN 4 YRS OLD NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN AS MANY MONTHS, MY HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT. IT HAS YET TO BE THE LIGHT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THE CONNECTOR TO THE LIGHT IS THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ONCE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I COULD UNDERSTAND EVEN TWO EVENTS, ONCE ON EACH SIDE. FOUR TIMES IS TOO MANY. I USUALLY DRIVE ALONE, MOST OF THE TIME ONLY TO AND FROM WORK. HOWEVER, HAVING HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE NOT DEPENDABLE IS NOT A COMFORT TO ME. MY MECHANIC SAID THE SUPPLIER TOLD HIM HE HAD "LOTS OF THIS PARTICULAR PART". THIS TELLS ME THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, I JUST MAY BE THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING. HOWEVER, IF THIS WERE YOUR DAUGHTER WOULD YOU WANT HER DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS NO DEPENDABLE HEADLIGHTS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON @37,000 MI., WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000? DEALER CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, I HAVE RETURNED TO SHOP 3 TIMES AND NOW LEFT THE VAN AT THE SHOP TO SEE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED. I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND DO NOT KNOW IF THE VAN IS SAFE OR NOT TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT TELL ME ANYTHING. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT THIS ENGINE CHECK SOON" INDICATOR CAME ON 1,000 MI LES AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED AN OXYGEN SENSOR BUT PROBLEM CONTINUED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VAN UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.*AK
