FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THIS IS FOR A 2008 NISSAN QUEST, BUT THE COMPLAIN IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING HOME, AND AS SOON AS I ENTER THE GARAGE AND GET OFF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS. I KNEE DOWN AND SAW THAT THERE IS A STREAM OF LIQUID COMING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, IMMEDIATELY, I PUT THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE AND PARK IN THE STREET INSTEAD, CALL NISSAN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HELP TO CALL 911 TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT COME OUT AND PUT A TEMP FIX TO STOP THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOW TO CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. BASED ON WHAT I READ FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK, IN THE EVENT THAT A VEHICLE FRONT TIRE RUNS OVER A SMALL, SHARP OBJECT IN THE ROAD, CATCHES IT AND PROPELS IT TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT MAY STRIKE AND PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK, AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN. THE FUEL TANK IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS EXPOSE OUTSIDE WITHOUT ANY SHIELD PROTECTION FROM THE FRONT WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE NISSAN MURANO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN RECALL TO PUT A SHIELD FOR MURANO AND NOT THE QUEST. FOR NOW, NISSAN HAS NOT AGREED YET TO COVER THE DAMAGE. *TR

TIRES
VEHICLE WILL BOTTOM OUT BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN UTILIZING THE MICHELIN PAX TIRE CAUSING SCRAPING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. INCREASING THE LEVEL OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BURNS A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST PIPE THAT THEN HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH AGAIN CAUSES A BOTTOMING OUT AND SCRAPING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2007 NISSAN QUEST BRAKE/ROTOR ISSUES. BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE WEARING RAPIDLY AT VERY LOW MILES. IT HAPPENED AT 45,000 MILES AND AGAIN EVERY YEAR SINCE. EVEN AFTER HAVING BRAKES AND ROTORS RESURFACED A FEW TIMES. CONTINUING PROBLEM. DEALER THINKS MAY BE DRIVING HABITS, BUT DEVICE PLACED ON CAR TO TRACK DRIVING BEHAVIOR BY INSURANCE COMPANY SHOWS NO HARD BRAKING. POSSIBILITY THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS SIMILAR ROTOR/BRAKE PROBLEM DUE TO WEIGHT OF VEHICLE OR IMPROPER COOLING LIKE TITAN TRUCK DID EARLY ON. A REAR END COLLISION MY WIFE HAD IN LATE 2009 MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE THIS PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM ON INTERNET VEHICLE PROBLEM SITES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
NISSAN 2004 QUEST, WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING LEFT IN INTERSECTION VAN DIES. TAKE IT IN TO NSSAN DEALERSHIP AND UNABLE TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TEST DUE TO ENGINE NOT RUNNING. THEY BELIEVE ITS A TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM AND NEED TO OPEN ENGINE.OTHER CONSUMER REPORTS WITH PROBLEMS WITH TIMING BELTS. WE'RE A FAMILY OF SEVEN, IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON FREEWAY MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE HAD FATALITIES INVOLVED. NISSAN REFUSES TO PRACTICE ANY GOODWILL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
NISSAN QUEST 1999. GAS PEDAL IS BLOCKING AND REQUIRES REVERE STRENGTH TO BE PUSHED. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DAY. ONCE THE PEDAL IS PUSHED HARD THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY THRUSTS, CAUSING POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY GAIN MUCH SPEED AND REQUIRES EXTRA CONTROL BY THE DRIVER. I AM SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE (REFERD TO AS 'GAS PEDAL STICKING'). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES (TEFLON BASED MATERIAL) IN THE VQ35 ENGINES WERE PREMATURELY CAUSING AUDIBLE RUBBING AND BANGING UPON START UP AND EARLY WARM UP IDLE CONDITIONS. THIS PREMATURE WEAR OF THE TENSION GUIDES IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAS UNDO SLACK FROM EARLY DEGRADATION OF TENSION GUIDES WHICH MAY CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN TO WEAR/BREAK PREMATURELY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND PUT THE LIVES OF THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS IN DANGER OF POSSIBLY BEING STRUCK MY ONCOMING VEHICLES. *LN

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

SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WOULD NOT COME FREE. I HAD TO JIGGLE OUT OF THE SEAT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THE PART WAS GOING TO COST ME $39 TO REPLACE NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I HAD TO PAY TO FIX SINCE MY WIFE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE SEATBELT WORKING CORRECTLY. IT STARTED TO LOCK UP ONCE IN A WHILE AND YOU JUST HAD TO BE SLOW WHEN UNBUCKLING THE SEATBELT. NOW IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK AT ALL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOOD OVER THE YEARS WITH ONLY ONE OTHER ISSUE THE DEALERSHIP CORRECTED THREE TIME BEFORE BEING HASSLE FREE. NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHY THE BUCKLE WOULD NOT OPEN JUST THAT I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THERE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTER/TRANSMISSION ON MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST VAN. THE PROBLEMS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE VAN WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO REVERSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME TO PULL FORCEFULLY ON THE SHIFTER TO MAKE IT SHIFT. IT DID SHIFT BUT THIS HAS CONTINUED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF DEALING WITH THIS, THE SHIFTER STARTED TO NOT ENGAGE IN THE CORRECT POSITION INDICATED ON THE DASH AND I WOULD HAVE TO PLAY AROUND WITH IT TO GET IT TO ENGAGE IN THE CORRECT GEAR (IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN DRIVE ACCORDING TO THE BASE OF THE SHIFTER, BUT WAS ACTUALLY STILL IN NEUTRAL). THERE WERE OTHER SYMPTOMS SUCH AS HAVING TO PUSH THE SHIFTER FIRMLY IN TO PARK TO REMOVE THE KEY. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND I FINALLY DISCOVERED WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING. I WENT TO SHIFT IN REVERSE ON AN INCLINE AND HAD TO VERY FORCEFULLY PULL THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE. AFTER DOING SO, THE DASH AND THE BASE OF THE SHIFTER ARE MISMATCHED BY A WHOLE GEAR. *TR
