VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID SPRAYED TOO LOW, CAUSING IMPAIRED VISION. THE CAUSE HAS NOT YET TO BEEN DETERMINED. *AK THE DEALER TRIED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE NOZZLES BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE NOZZLE NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED. THE STORAGE LID WARPED AND AS A RESULT THE LID IS NOT FLUSH WITH THE DASH. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. DROVE HOME AFTERWORK LET VEHICLE SIT FOR NO MORE THAN 15 MINS. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVE WAY AT WHICH TIME I HAD NOTICED NO POWER ENGINE VERY SLUGGISH. IF IT WERE A STANDARD STICK SHIFT VEHICLE IT SEEMED AS IT WAS STARTING IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, PROCEEDED UP A SLIGHT INCLINE OF WHICH I NEEDED TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN AT TONY NISSAN DEALERSHIP SINCE MAY 6, 2004. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME REPORTED PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN TECH LINE, PER NISSAN TECH LINE UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. PER TONY NISSAN GM HIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS CHECKED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE THEY DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE THAT IT IS "OKAY TO DRIVE". I ACKNOWLEDGED, I'D PICK UP MY VEHICLE IF HE'S SAYING IT SAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MYSELF OR FAMILY,I WILL HOLD TONY NISSAN AND THE GM LIABLE DUE TO THE FACT IT'S A REPORTED PROBLEM BUT, THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. AS I SPOKE TO THE GM, I READ TO HIM 9 COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE REGARDING THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MY COMPLAINT SHOULD MAKE 10, NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER VEHICLES HERE ON THE ISLAND OF OAHU.*AK

WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COLLIDE INTO THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT OF HIM, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS CAUSED THE PASSENGER TO SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSED HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
POWER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT STOP FORWARD MOTION UNLESS OBJECT IS WITHIN A VERY SMALL SAFETY ZONE APPROXIMATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOOR. ALSO, GREAT FORCE IS REQUIRED TO STOP FORWARD MOTION (ADULT MALE, BOTH HANDS PULLING HARD). FINALLY, WITH CHILD LOCK 'ON', POWER BUTTON BY DOOR WILL STILL ALLOW CHILD TO CLOSE THE DOOR FROM INSIDE AND CRUSH WHATEVER HE STICKS OUT. NISSAN MECHANIC ASSURED ME THIS IS BY DESIGN AND CANNOT BE CHANGED. *AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
WE PURCHASE A 2004 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO. THE VAN HAS HAD DOOR RATTLE PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. THE REAR DOOR RATTLED AND THE DEALER HAS REPLACED A HINGE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THAT. BOTH SLIDING DOOR RATTLE LIKE A BUCKET OF BOLTS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SERVICE NOW 3 TIMES FOR THIS. WE WERE FINALLY TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE LATCHES, BUT THERE WAS NO FIX FROM NISSAN FOR THIS. A $38,000 VEHINCLE THAT RATTLES DOWN THE ROAD DUE TO POOR QUALITY WITH NO FIX KNOWN IS UNACCEPTABLE.*AK

STEERING:COLUMN
I HAVE A 1999 NISSAN QUEST I BOUGHT NEW AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY NISSAN DEALER ABOUT NHTSA ID#S 00V292002- AND MY VEHICLE DO HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM OF VIBRATING EVEN THOUGH I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES EVEN ON THE SECOND DAY I BOUGHT IT; # 99V205002 & 99V347002 IF THERE IS A CAMPAIGN OUT TO HAVE THESE SERVICES DONE, SHOULD'NT NISSAN FOLLOW UP ON THESE? 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.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
QUEST SL 2004 HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION TWICE; ONCE 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING, AND THE SECOND ABOUT 4 WEEKS AFTER; DEALER NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE VAN DOES NOT ACCELERATE, JUST MOVES VERY VERY SLOWLY, AS IF IT WAS IN A HIGHER GEAR. WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS REPEATEDLY (GOING ON 3RD TIME) AND MY TAIL LIGHT (1 TIME). IN ADDITION, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL; IT SEEMS TO STICK, UNTIL I APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE THEN IT TAKES OFF ABRUPTLY FAST, HAD THESE SAME PROBLEMS (WITH REPLACING HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS AND ACCELERATOR) WHEN I HAD MY 1993 NISSAN QUEST, BUT DISMISSED THEM. NOW I SEE A CORRELATION WITH THE 2000 QUEST I HAVE NOW. THE LOW PROFILE OF MY QUEST CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION PAN TO LEAK FLUID, BECAUSE OF A DIP IN THE ROAD. CONSTANT PROBLEMS WHEN PARKING DUE TO THE FRONT END OF MY QUEST BEING TOO LOW AND SCRAPING THE CURB. PROBLEM WITH HEATING SYSTEM IN THE REAR, ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR REGARDLESS OF SETTING IT TO HEAT. THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN MY CAR IS RUNNING (THIS WAS ALSO EXPERIENCED IN MY 1993 QUEST) ONLY COMPACT INCIDENT WAS WHEN MY TRANMISSION PAN CRACKED GOING DOWN THE STREET AND GOING DOWN A DIP IN THE ROAD (NOT A POT HOLE). OTHER THAN THESE THINGS I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASES, VERY RELIABLE BUT THESE ARE A FEW THINGS I'VE NOTICED AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER MY CONCERNS TO FURTHER BE INVESTIGATED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
REAR LAMP DOES NOT ILLUMINATE RELIABLY BECAUSE METAL CAN IN THE LAMP SOCKET MOVES AND SEPARATES FROM PLASTIC SOCKET HOUSING. THIS RESULTS IN MALFUNCTION OF THE STOP AND REAR RUNNING LAMPS. REAR LAMP MALFUNCTION COULD RESULT IN FOLLOWING DRIVERS COLLIDING WITH VEHICLE BY VIRTUE OF NOT BEING ALERTED TO SUBJECT VEHICLES PRESENCE OR INTENDED ACTIONS. ISSUE IMPACT BOTH REAR LIGHTS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HAD AN EPISODE WHERE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE RACED AND TOOK ALOT OF POWER TO START ROLLING. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR ACTED NORMALLY, BUT IN SLOWER SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MISBEHAVED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION OPERATED POORLY. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 25 MPH WITHIN 225 FEET WITHOUT PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. THE DRIVER HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL REALLY HARD TO SLOW DOWN. *AK THIS OCCURRED ON DOWNHILL SLOPES AND WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *SC *JB

TIRES
HAVE A SET OF REGATTA II, 215SR75. @25,000 - 30,000 MILES ON TIRES. EXPERIENCED SHIMMYING AT LOW SPEEDS AND VIBRATION AT HIGH SPEEDS. CHECK INFLATION FREQUENTLY AND PUT AIR IN WHEN NECESSARY. HAD A PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE BLOW OUT RECENTLY. APPEARED AS IF SIDE WALLS HAD BURST. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN ALL MY LIFE. (SIDE NOTE: HAD RECENTLY HAD BRAKE PADS REPLACED, THE TIRE IN QUESTION WAS ON THE FRONT, MECHANIC DISCOVERED TIRE TO BE SERIOUSLY OUT OF BALANCE AND HAD DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO BALANCE IT, WHICH IS WHY HE PUT IT ON THE REAR) AFTER TIRE BLEW OUT THE TIRE DEALER SAID SIDE WALLS WERE PROBABLY WEAKENED BY UNDERINFLATION MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A SLOW LEAK. THIS EXPLANATION IS INADEQUATE. HE REPLACED THE TIRE AT FULL PRICE MINUS $11.00 AND SAID IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AS THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERED TREAD WEAR. AFTER REPLACING THE TIRE THE VEHICLE (NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN) STILL SHIMMIES AT LOW SPEED AND VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEED. MY CONCERNS ARE: 1. ARE THE THREE REMAINING ORIGINAL REGATTA II TIRES IN IMMENENT DANGER OF EXPLODING LIKE THE OTHER ONE? 2.CONSIDERING THE DIFFICULTY BALANCING THE ONE TIRE THAT BLEW, WAS THAT TIRE DEFECTIVE? 3. COULD THE SAME PROBLEM BE OCCURING IN MY OTHER 3 TIRES CREATING A SERIOUS, DANGEROUS SITATION? *AK
