STEERING:RACK AND PINION
THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH A REOCCURRING INTERMITTENT "RUBBING" SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. NISSAN HAS CHARACTERIZED THE PROBLEM AS "EXCESSIVE FRICTION" AND "INTERNAL FAILURE". TO DATE, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE RACK & PINION STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY, AND ASSOCIATED PARTS 3 TIMES, 8/97, 7/98 AND 1/99. WITH THE LAST REPLACEMENT WE WERE TOLD THAT THE RACK & PINION BEING INSTALLED WAS A REDESIGNED ONE. HOWEVER, THE NOISE HAS RETURNED JUST UNDER A YEAR (10,000 MILES) FROM THE LAST REPLACEMENT. WE ARE CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING TO GET BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS REOCCURRING PROBLEM AGAIN. *AK

AIR BAGS
THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM MODULE LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH IS DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH IS WELL KNOWN ON THE 1996 QUEST. THE VEHICLE OWNER BECOMES AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BY THE RED DASH INDICTOR LIGHT BLINKING ON AND OFF. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE SRS SYSTEM FAILURE BUT WILL NOT COVER REPLACEMENT FOR THIS PART UNLESS VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A CHRONIC FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
DRIVING ON A 2 LANE MOUNTAIN ROAD, SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND POWER, ABLE TO MANUEVER CAR TO ROAD EDGE. HUSBAND DID A COUPLE OF CHECKS UNDER HOOD, REMOVED DISTRIBUTOR COVER AND FOUND A SCREW WITH A WASHER AND LOCK WASHER HAD DISLODGED AND FALLEN OUT, CAUSING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT WARNING. HE WAS ABLE TO PLACE SCREW BACK IN POSITION AND TIGHTEN IT. I WAS LUCKY THATB I WAS NOT ALONE AND THAT THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND US AT THE TIME. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE EVE OF NOV. 28, 1999. I WAS WITH TWO OF MY CHILDREN AND, ONCE AGAIN, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF POWER. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS VERY LUCKY IN THAT I WAS ACROSS A 6LANE ROAD FROM A SHOPPING CENTER AND I COULD CALL FROM HELP AT A STORE THERE. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MANUEVER THE VAN TO THE ROADSIDE. MY HUSBAND ARRIVED TO FIND THAT THEY EXACT SAME THING HAD ACCURRED. HAD THIS BEEN ON A FREEWAY, I FEEL IT COULD CREATE A DEADLY SITUATION AS IS THE LOSS OF SPEED IS SO FAST THAT A VEHICLE BEHIND COULD SLAM INTO THE VAN. I MENTIONED THE OCCURRENCE TO A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER NOTED AFTER THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE, BUT HE EXPRESSED NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY VEHICLE RECALLS IN THIS AREA. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE SERVICE DEPT.(YESTERDAY)WITH VERNON IN PARTICULAR, WHO IS VERY NICE
