SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND THE AIR CONDITIONER AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME GIVE OR TAKE A FEW WEEKS. THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN IT WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS OLD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE SAID THEY DID A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB ON IT. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 OTHER TIMES DUE TO BRAKE NOISES THAT ARE STILL NOT REPAIRED. MY VAN ALSO VIBRATES AT SPEEDSO F 60 MILES OR FASTER, ALSO IT HAS HAD 3 FRONT END ALIGNMENTS IN LESS THEN SIX MONTHS. THEN WITH MY AIR CONDITIONER THEY SAY THE NOISE WAS NORMAL THAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL OUT IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I TURNED IT ON, AND WHEN NISSAN CAME OUT WITH A FIX THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. TO THIS DAY THEY HAVE NOT EVEN LOOKED AT THE AIR CONDITIONER OTHER THEN TO CHECK THE BELTS ON IT. BOTH MY BRAKE AND MY AIR CONDITIONER ARE STILL MAKING NOISES. I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THAT OWN NISSAN VANS AND THERE VANS DO NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. *AK

#713304October 14, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:PADS, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 17, 1999 BRAND NEW AT TORRANCE NISSAN. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, FRONT BRAKES STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISE. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH DEALER AND MANUFACTURER THAT IT WAS NORMAL SINCE THEY ABANDONED ABESTOS FROM BRAKE PADS. I INSISTED THAT THEY CHANGED THE PADS. THEY FINALLY AGREED AND ORDERED SPECIAL PADS FROM THE FACTORY. NOISE WENT AWAY UNTIL LAST MONTH. THEY REPLACED THE PADS ONCE AGAIN AND IT'S OK RIGHT NOW. AN ENGINEER FROM THE FACTORY FINALLY ADMITTED THAT THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN AND MOST '99 QUEST HAVE THAT SAME PROBLEM. DRIVER SIDE MIRROR VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEED ABOVE 70. AGAIN, ENGINEER FROM FACTORY STATED THAT IS A DEFECT AND R&D IS TRYING TO RESOLVE IT. DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LATCH COMES OPEN AFTER SLIDING IT BACK AND FOURTH AFTER FOUR TIMES. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND SINCE YESTERDAY, IT'S OK. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE POOR GAS MILEAGE. WE'RE PUTTING IN 87 OCTANE GAS RECOMMENDED IN THE MANUAL. WE'VE BEEN GETTING ABOUT 13 MILES/GALLON IN THE CITY AND ABOUT 18 IF WE DRIVE BOTH FREEWAY AND CITY. THE TANK TAKES ABOUT 20 GALLONS AND EVERY 16.5 GALLONS, WE'RE ONLY GETTING ABOUT 260 MILES FROM THE TRIP READING. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR FIRST TOLD US THAT NEW CAR WILL GIVE POOR READING SINCE ALL PARTS HAVEN'T BEEN BROKEN INTO. WE SHOULD DRIVE IT TO 5000 MILES. THE VAN IS AT 5750 MILES AND MILEAGE HAS NOT IMPROVED AT ALL. I CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD NOT BE USING MOBIL AND ARCO GAS AND TO GET THAT KIND OF MILEAGE, I SHOULD BE PUTTING IN 95 OCTANE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN HOW IT'S NOT STATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL?

#837097April 26, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM WHILE IN THE "HIGH" MODE, MAKES A DISTRACTING NOISE WHICH CAUSES OCCUPANT NOT TO USE THE HIGH MODE, BUT THE MEDIUM MODE WHICH MAY CAUSE VISUAL DIFFCULTY. THE WIPER BLADE HITS THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER SAID ITS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN CORPORATION IS CALLING IT A DESIGN FLAW. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A STOP AND THE A/C SYSTEM IS ON, THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WHEN THE IDLE CHANGES, WHICH MAY CAUSE A CRASH. . *AK
