VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS - THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE BRAKE IS APPLIED AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THUS CAUSING THE VAN TO STALL IN THE INTERSECTION AND THEN TAKE OFF QUICKLY AND ALSO OCCURS IF I RELAESE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY, AND THEN REAPPLY IT, THE PEDAL AGAIN STICKS. THIS STARTED IN MARCH AND THEN WENT AWAY FOR A MONTH AND HAS BEEN OCCURING DAILY - SOMETIMES 4 OR 5 TIMES IN ONE COMMUTE. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED A FEW FATAL ACCIDENTS WHEN THE VAN STALLED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR WHILE I WAS TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND GAS PEDAL STUCK CAUSING CROSSTRAFFIC TO SCREECH TO A HALT. HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE VAN DOES NOT ACCELEARTE AFTER A RED LIGHT - HAVE TO PUMP IT OR HOLD IT DOWN BEFORE IT RELEASES. I CALLED DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS "NORMAL" AND PART OF THROTTLE PROBLEM, BUT THIS STARTED WHEN THE VAN HAD ONLY 20000 MILES ON IT

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

THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSED. THE DEALER HAS ADJUSTED IT TWICE NOW. AFTER THE LAST ADJUSTMENT THE DOOR CAME AJAR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING DEALER. THE DEALER IS CURRENTLY SUGGESTING THAT I REPLACE BOTH LATCHES AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $265.00 ALTHOUGH HE CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THE LATCHES DID NOT APPEAR TO BE BROKEN WHEN ADJUSTED. *AK
