THE CONTACT'S WIFE SMELLED SMOKE AND DROVE TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVING UNUSUAL BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE COOLING SYSTEM DID NOT HAVE A LEAK, BUT THE FAN MELTED BECAUSE THAT WAS WHERE THE FIRE STARTED. HE WAS UNSURE OF WHY THE FAN CAUGHT ON FIRE, BUT THE CONTACT BELIEVED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. HE CONTACTED THE POLICE AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT CONTACTED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE THROTTLE BODY HAS NOW BEEN CLEANED 3 TIMES BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL CONTIUES TO STICK. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY ONCE AND THE LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN PAID FOR THE SECOND, BUT I RECENTLY PAID FOR THE THIRD. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES, 55,000 MIILES AND NOW 81,000 MILES. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED.*AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE), EQUIPMENT
THE ACCELERATOR CABLE ON OUR 1999 NISSAN QUEST FAILED IN 2001, WE REPLACED IT, AND NOW IN 2005 THE CABLE IS FAILING AGAIN. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL "STICKS" AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD TO GET THE VECHILE TO ACCELERATE, CREATING AN UNSAFE SITUATION WHERE YOU OFTEN HAVE TO ACCERATE TOO FAST UPON TAKEOFF. THIS COULD LEAD TO A REAR END COLLISION. *AK

AIR BAGS
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN A 45 MPH ZONE. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP DUE TO ANOTHER MOTORIST IN FRONT OF IT WAS TURNING LEFT AND SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT STOP IN TIME AND SHE REAR ENDED THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF HER. NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED IN THE 1999 NISSAN QUEST. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY (AMERICAN FAMILY) AND THE ADJUSTER SADI THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED DUE THE CRASH OF THE VEHICLE AND THE WAY IT HIT. MY WIFE SUSTAINED INJURIES OF HER BACK AND NECK IN THIS CRASH AND WE BELIEVE THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. WE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY ALSO SAID THE BAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED DUE TO NOT ENOUGH FORCE OF SOME BALL BEARING USED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAGS. THEY (NISSAN) SENT US A VHS TAPE ON AIR BAGS, BUT DECLINED TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO INVESTIGATE THE VEHICLE. WE STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND WOULD BE GRATEFUL OF ANY AND ALL HELP YOUR AGENCY COULD PROVIDE. *LA

I HAD TO CHANGE SEVERAL SETS OF WHEELS, TIRES, ENDLESS BALANCING; FORNT END SHOT TWICE DUE TO HEAVY VIBRATIONS AND NISSAN NEVER FOUND THE ANSWER. I ALSO HAD AND STILL HAVE THE MIRRORS VIBRATING SO BADLY THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE.

WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR & TRY TO PRSS ON IT...THE ACCELERATOR WILL STICK. ITS LIKE IT DOSENT WANT TO GO DOWN UNTILL YOU PRESS REAL HARD. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ONCE BEFORE WITH THIS VAN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE...AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS OCCURED. I AM AFFRAID THAT EVENTUALLY THE ACCELERATOR WILL STICK WHILE I AM DRIVING.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
DUE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKING, IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY ON TWO OCCASIONS. I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WHEN SUFFICIENT PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE PETAL THAT WILL OVERRIDE THE STUCK THROTTLE. THE FORWARD LUNGE WILL BECOME ACUTE IF CLEANING IS DELAYED. I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD HAD EXPIRED (I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS EXTENDED BUT WITHOUT ANY NOTICE TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS).*AK MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN NISSAN IS: 1.NO NOTICE WAS RECEIVED TO ALERT OWNERS OF A SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS MAGNITUDE. 2.THAT NO RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND 3.THAT NO NOTICE WAS RECEIVED TO ADVISE OWNERS THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAD BEEN EXTENDED AND TO BRING THEIR VEHICLE IN FOR A THROTTLE BODY INSPECTION.

I HAVE HAD TO LOOK INTO ALIGNMENT PROBELMS AGAIN AND REPLACE THE BRAKES AND THE TIRES AGAIN. I ALSO WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE OF "NORMAL" WEARING OF THE CV JOINTS AND THAT MY FRONT AXLE WAS SHOT SO I HAD TO REPLACE THIS TOO. I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TIRE, TIRE VALVE, BRAKE AND FRONT END TROUBLE, IT'S RIDICULOUS.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STICKING THROTTLE CAUSED BY BUILD-UP OF SOOT, CARBON, GUM, OR WHATEVER IT IS IN THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE THROTTLE REQUIRES EXCESS PRESSURE TO OVERCOME ITS STICKING. THEN, WHEN IT UNSTICKS, THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD FASTER THAN EXPECTED. THIS CAN BE A VERY UNSAFE REACTION AT TIMES, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. IT IS ALSO VERY HARD ON MY WIFE'S NECK; SHE HAS HAD A CERVICAL DISCECTOMY AND FUSION. I HAVE RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH PROPOSES REIMBURSEMENT FOR THROTTLE BODY CLEANINGS OR REPLACEMENTS AND FREE FUTURE CLEANINGS/REPLACEMENTS DURING THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY PERIOD. ALL THIS IS WONDERFUL AND GOOD FOR THE ORIGINAL OWNER(S) --- AT LEAST DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD --- BUT DOES NOTHING TO IMPROVE SAFETY! WHAT IF YOU WRECK TAKING THE CAR TO THEIR SHOP? AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE BUYS THE VEHICLE WHO ISN'T AWARE OF THE PROBLEM? IF YOU NEED A COPY OF THE LAWSUIT, I MADE ONE JUST FOR YOU. OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU MIGHT NEED FOLLOWS: NISSAN QUEST SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR, C/O ROSENTHAL & COMPANY LLC, P.O. BOX 6175, NOVATO, CA 94948-6175 1-888-866-8245 CLASS COUNSEL: SEAN R. MATT, HAGENS BERMAN LLP, 1301 FIFTH AVENUE, SUITE 2900, SEATTLE, WA 98101 COUNSEL FOR NNA: MALCOLM E. WHEELER, WHEELER TRIG & KENNEDY, P.C., 1801 CALIFORNIA STREET, SUITE 3600, DENVER, CO 80202-2617 THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS MOST LIKELY INCORRECT. I KNOW THE FIRST TIME OUR THROTTLE STUCK, I CLEANED IT MYSELF BECAUSE THE DEALER WANTED AN UNGODLY PRICE TO DO IT. I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS. MY WIFE SAYS SHE HAS PAID FOR ONE CLEANING, BUT SHE IS UNAVAILABLE TO ASK ABOUT THE DATE. I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE BLOCKS, TO GET PAST THIS POINT. *LA
