ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WAS ON E WITH LIGHT ON. PUT $60 OF GAS IN APPROX 16 GAL. CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN FULL. RESTARTED CAR AND GAS GAUGE STAYED ON E. TURNED CAR OFF, RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES. GAS GAUGE MOVED TO 2 BARS. DEALERSHIP DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND WHEN RECONNECTED GAS GAUGE MOVED TO FULL. PUSHED BUTTON IN REAR TAILGATE TO CLOSE TAILGATE DOOR, FRONT WINDOWS ROLLED UP INSTEAD. STOPPED @ STOP SIGN AND THEN WENT TO ACCELERATE. CAR RPM'S WENT UP TO 4.5 THEN ACTED LIKE I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND DROPPED DOWN TO BELOW 1 AND SHOT BACK UP TO 4 AND BACK DOWN TO 1, AND THEN FINALLY KICKED INTO GEAR AND WENT FORWARD. LUCKILY NO OTHER CARS AROUND OR COULD'VE CAUSED ACCIDENT. DEALER SAID THEY COULD LOOK BUT UNLESS I COULD DUPLICATE ABOVE LISTED INCIDENCES THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. PASSENGER SLIDING DOORS FREEZE SHUT IN WINTER. KIDS HAVE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOORS. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THERE IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURING FLAW IN MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST SE. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS ISSUED BUT DO NOT ADDRESS THE EVIDENCE OF MISSING WELDS IN THE FRAME. OVER TIME THERE WILL BE SERIOUS INJURIES. I NEED A NEW VEHICLE THAT WILL PASS MORE THAN A RECALL THAT DOES NOT REMEDY THE REAL ISSUE OF FLAWED CONSUMER PROTECTION AND MANUFACTURING FRAUD. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS MORNING WHEN I DROVE MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST VAN IN MY GARAGE I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED TO THE REAR OF THE VAN AND SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM AROUND THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING. I IMMEDIATELY BACKED THE VAN OUT OF THE GARAGE. SUDDENLY FLAMES CAME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING. BY THE TIME I COULD GRAB A FIRE EXTINGUISHER A HOLE APPROX. 6" IN DIAMETER HAD BURNED THROUGH AND MELTED PART OF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING AND THE REAR BUMPER FASCIA. I WILL CONTACT MY DEALER TOMORROW MORNING TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK SENT TO MY HOUSE TO PICK THE VAN UP AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL:LINKAGE AND CABLE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
ON FEBRUARY 3, 2008 AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM A TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE, I PARKED MY CAR AS I NORMALLY WOULD AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE. AFTER GOING IN THE HOUSE, I NOTICED THE SMELL OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY CARPORT. WHEN OPENING THE DOOR, I FOUND MY CAR ENGULFED IN WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THE VEHICLE AND SMOKE HAD COMPLETELY FILLED THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY GOT MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE HOUSE AND CALLED 911; THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND TRIED TO INVESTIGATE WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE TO NO AVAIL. IN TRYING TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM POSSIBLY SPARKING THE HOUSE ' IT TOOK FOUR FIREMAN TO PUSH MY CAR IN NEUTRAL TO THE OUTSIDE OF MY CARPORT. MY INTERIOR WAS SMOKED AND MY CARPET WAS CHARRED UNDER MY SEAT AND UNDER MY CHILDREN'S CAR SEAT ' TURNS OUT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE MELTED ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR PLASTIC, CREATING A SPARK THAT IGNITED THE CARPET AND MELTED THE PLASTIC MOLDING IN MY CAR. MR. SANDERS STATED THAT THE CAR WAS FIXABLE HOWEVER HE HAD 'NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE' THE FIX HE STATED WAS TO REPLACE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE CABLE (TWO HOUR FIX) HOWEVER HE COULD NOT TELL US WHY THIS HAPPENED. MR. SANDERS STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE CARPET NOR GET THE INTERIOR CLEANED THAT I HAD TO DEAL WITH NISSAN CORPORATE. MELISSA IS NOW STATING THAT NISSAN IS WILLING TO FIX THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE, REPLACE THE SCORCHED CARPET, DETAIL THE INTERIOR AND CARPET AND FIX THE HARNESS AND PAY FOR OUR RENTAL CAR. MELISSA COULD NOT EXPLAIN TO MY HUSBAND THE FUNCTION OF THE HARNESS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE POSSIBLE FIRE, SHE STATED THAT POSSIBLY THE PARKING BRAKE AND HARNESS WERE MISROUTED AND CONNECTED THUS CREATING A SPARK THAT MELTED THE CABLE, MOLDING, AND CARPET. SHE STATED SHE IS NOT SURE AND COULD NOT GO INTO IT TECHNICALLY; SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION BECAUSE IT IS A NISSAN INTERNAL DOCUMENT. *TR

TL *- THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTAC HAD MAJOR REPAIRS DONE IN DECEMBER 2007. THE NISSAN DEALER TOOK THE ENGINE APART TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT. SINCE THEN WHEN THE HEATER WAS ON AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED THE HEATER FAN WILL STOP WORKING, AND HE HEARD A HUMMING NOISE. ONCE HE RESUMED DRIVING HE HEARD A CLICKING SOUND ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THEN THE HEAT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HAD NOT HAPPENED BEFORE THE REPAIR SERVICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A MECHANIC AT NISSAN LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. *AK

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
THE 2005 NISSAN QUEST HAD A RECALL THAT PREVENTED INJURY WHEN FOLDING DOWN THE MIDDLE SEATS. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS WERE 05V474000 AND 05V480000. AFTER HAVING THIS RECALL PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, IT IS NOW ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTACH A CHILD RESTRAINT TETHER TO THE TETHER ANCHOR POINT. I BELIEVE THAT THE FIX FOR THIS RECALL HAS CAUSED AN EVEN MORE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAN THE ONE IT ATTEMPTED TO FIX. *NM

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN. THE 2 SEATS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VAN HAVE CURTAINS ON THE ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT. THESE ARE CONSTANTLY COMING UNDONE AND SPREAD OUT ON THE FLOORBOARD OF THE VAN. THEY ARE A TRIPPING HAZARD AND MY DAUGHTER HAS TRIPPED OVER THEM AND FALLEN OUT OF THE VAN AND LANDED ON CONCRETE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE ONLY RECALL IS ON THE SEATS IN THE REAR WHICH THEY HAVE REPAIRED. I WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY JUST REFERRED ME BACK TO A DEALER (THE RUN-AROUND!!)THESE CURTAINS DO NOT STAY PUT AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THEM PERMANENTLY BEFORE SOME CHILD IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *NM

WE ARE MOSTLY COMPLAINING OF THE LACK OF TREAD WARRANTY IN THIS TIRES, ALSO ABOUT HOW FAST THESE TIRES' LIFES ARE GONE SO FAST AND FINALLY THAT THIS IS THE ONLY TIRE IN THIS SIZE AVAILABLE. IN OTHER WORDS WE NEED TO KEEP UP PURCHASING A REALLY BAD TIRE AT A HIGH PRICE. CAN YOU HELP US, THE CONSUMERS. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
THE FIRST FAILURE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND IN TRAFFIC. THIS REQUIRED A WALK HOME AND TOW OF THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD START WITH A JUMP BUT THEN SHORTLY AFTER WOULD COMPLETELY DIE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS AS AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. THE SECOND FAILURE IS A PERIODIC SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR. THE FIRST OCCURANCE FELT LIKE SLIPPING IN SNOW THEN GRABBING. WE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD US IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AN ERROR LIGHT WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASH. THE SECOND OCCURANCE 2 WEEKS LATER WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELEARATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT FELT AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH ENGINE REVING BUT NO POWER TO WHEELS. WE VERIFIED THE SHIFT WAS IN D AND THE DASH INDICATOR SAID "D". WE LOOKED FOR ANY TROUBLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BUT SAW NONE. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE AND RESTARTED WITH THE SAME RESULTS. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF A SECOND TIME AND RESTARTED. THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TEST DROVE IT AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. THEY ALSO FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THE DEALER IS NOW WAITING FOR TECHNICAL DIRECITON FROM NISSAN AND I AM WAITING FOR A RETURN CALL FROM A NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REGIONAL SPECIALIST. *NM
