TIRES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE QUEST, I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL AND ENCOUNTERED A ROUGH RIDE WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY BALANCED AND ROTATED THE TIRES. SHORTLY AFTER, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TIRES WERE OUT OF "TRUE" AND THAT I NEEDED TO GO TO GOODYEAR TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. GOODYEAR REPLACED TWO OF THE TIRES. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I RETURNED TO GOODYEAR BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RETURNED. GOODYEAR THEN REPLACED ONE ADDITIONAL TIRE. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, I RETURNED TO GOODYEAR AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY AGREED TO CHANGE ALL FOUR TIRES. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS I RETURNED TO GOODYEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE WEIGHT MAY OF BEEN TOO MUCH FOR THE TIRES SO HE REQUESTED THAT I REPLACE THE PERFORMANCE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WITH OTHER TIRES. I AGREED AND GOODYEAR AGAIN REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. IN DECEMBER 2001, I ONCE AGAIN RETURNED TO THE GOODYEAR BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS ONCE AGAIN PRESENT. THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TIRES, BUT FELT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE SUSPENSION ON THE QUEST RATHER THAN A DEFECT ON THE TIRE. THE SECOND PROBLEM I'VE ENCOUNTER WITH THE QUEST SINCE ABOUT 15,000 MILES IS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS. THIS IS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE PROBLEM ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND I THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE PEDAL IS SO STUCK, THAT WHEN IT FINALLY GIVES WAY THE VEHICLE TAKES OFF QUICKLY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN, THEN IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN I CAN'T. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WAS AN INTERMITTEN PROBLEM AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE DIFFICULTY. THE PROBLEM IS STILL INTERMITTEN, BUT I NOTICED THAT WHEN I DROVE IT IN FLORIDA ON VACATION THIS PAST MONTH, IT OCCURED REGULARLY.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE HEAD OF A BOLD HOLDING THE HEAD TO THE ENGINE BLOCK FAILED. THE LOOSE BOLT HEAD THEN JAMMED THE CAM SHAFT PREVENTING THE CAM SHAFT FROM ROTATING. WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE, THE TIMING BELT BROKE AT THE DRIVE SHAFT DAMAGING VALVES SINCE THE ENGINE IS A "NON-CLEARANCE" ENGINE. THE BOLT FAILED BY FATIGUE WHICH IS EVIDENT IN THE FAILURE SURFACE. THE FATIGUE FAILURE ORIGINATED AT A LOCATION JUST UNDER THE BOLT HEAD DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE REPAIR WILL COST ABOUT $2000.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
AT THE SLIGHTEST DECLINE (NOSE FACING DOWNWARD) THE SLIDING DOOR WILL VIOLENTLY SHUT HITTING WHOMEVER OR WHATEVER IS IN THE PATH. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO REMOVE SOMETHING FROM THE MIDDLE OR BACK SEAT, YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR BODY IN BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE DOOR FRAME TO KEEP IT OPEN. MY SON GOT HIS ARM HURT JUST RECENTLY DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE DOOR SHUTTING ON HIM. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE DOOR HAS NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF LOCKING MECHANISM TO HOLD THE DOOR OPEN WHEN NEEDED. OR IF IT WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE ONE, MY VAN'S LATCH HAS NEVER WORKED. I HAVE DONE A SEARCH TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SITUTION, HOWEVER DID NOT FIND ONE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED NEW BUT ONLY NOW HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF INTO THE POTENTIAL DANGER! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND ADDRESSED TO CORRECT THIS PROTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SITUTION.*AK
