AS REPORTED ON CBS EYE ON AMERICA ON SEPT. 7, 2001, I HAVE A NISSAN QUEST WITH DEMON LOCKS. THEY DOORS LOCK 75%+ OF THE TIME WHEN I TOUCH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE (INSIDE OR OUT) OR CLOSE THE DOOR. WITHOUT THE OUTSIDE KEYPAD I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTING GETTING BACK IN. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS REPORTED SINCE VARIOUS GROUPS ARE SAYING THIS IS ONLY AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND I ALSO BELIEVE THE NISSAN QUEST VAN HAS AN OVERALL ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DUE TO THE NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL ITEMS THAT HAVE FAILED DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 80 MPH WHEN THE HOOD LATCH FAILED FLEW OPEN, FRACTURING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD.

ALL DOORS LOCK UPON TOUCHING THE INNER OR OUTER DRIVERS DOOR HANDLES. THIS RESULTS IN PASSENGERS BEING LOCKED IN OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

I OWN AN 94 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN. THE POWER DOOR LOCK KEEP LOCKING BY ITSELF INTERMITTENTLY (WHEN THE VAN IS RUNNING, OR WHEN THE THE DOOR IS CLOSING, OR WHEN THE I TOUCH THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN, OR WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO UNLOCK/OPEN THE DOOR.)I'D BEEN COMPLAINED THIS TO NISSAN CORPORATION, NISSAN DEALERS SINCE 1995. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO VARIOUS DEALERS FOR REPAIR ON ADVICE FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE (1-800-NISSAN-1) AND WASTED SO MUCH OF MY TIME JUST TO SIT ALL DAYS WAITING FOR THE FAMILIAR RESULTS: CAN NOT DUPLICATE; CAN NOT FIX. EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR LOCK BY ITSELF IN FRONT OF THE SERVICE MANAGERS. THEY ARGUMENTS: IT MUST LOCKS ITSELF IN FRONT OF THE MECHANICS AND MUST DOES IT EVERY TIME ( I NOT ALLOWED IN MECHANIC'S AREA.) FINALLY, AFTER SPENT SO MUCH OF MY TIME IN VARIOUS DEALER'S SERVICE WAITING ROOMS, A DEALER FIXED IT IN LATE 1997 WITH I PAY $50.00 COPAY BECAUSE "OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD". NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK, THE POWER DOOR KEEP ACTIVATING ON IT OWN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE IT WITH THE SAME ARGUMENT AS BEFORE: CAN NOT DUPLICATE, CAN NOT FIX.I HAVE A GOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY NISSAN CORPORATION FOR SEVEN (7) YEARS COVER BUMPER TO BUMPER (1994-2000). IT SEEMED AS JUST IS A PIECE OF WORTHLESS PAPER! IT COVERS NOTHING AND ENFORCES NOTHING. IN ADDITION TO THE INJURY, NISSAN CORPORATION'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY SERVICE IS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY NOT NISSAN. I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED. ARE THERE ANY THING ELSE THAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS FIX???HELP.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY EMAIL: [email protected]

BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS FAIL TO COME ON AND DASH LIGHTS HAVE ALSO FAILED,DEALER STATES VEHICLE NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 96V253004 .

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

WHILE DRIVING A STRONG GAS ODOR COMES THROUGH THE VENTS AND FILLS THE VEHICL'S INTERIOR EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. AT FIRST FIXING THE CAUSE WAS INDICATED TO BE HOLE IN THE MULFFLER. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN, THE CAUSE WAS INDICATED TO BE TEARING IN THE GAS TANK VENT HOSE. AIR CONDITIONER FAILED. *YH

WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAN. AIR CONDITIONER/ BRAKES/SEAT BELTS,AND THE MOST COSTLY OF ALL, TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 2800.00.I KNOW THAT WE HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS, BUT CANN'T THINK OF THEM ALL. *AK

STEERING ASSEMBLY SHIFTER BOLTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE BOLTS WERE MISSING. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER COMPLAINT IN REGARDING THIS SAME VEHICLE ON FILE WITH YOU. THE OTHER COMPLAINT DEALS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, RADIATIOR AND MANIFOLD.*AK

DURING INITIAL START UP POWER STEERING SYSTEM IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. MJS

DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. WAS PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN VEHICLE DIED. OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW FLAMES COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FIRE DEPT PUT OUT FIRE. THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP, IGNITION WIRES AND WIRING HARNESSES MELTED. VEHICLE DECLARED TOTAL LOSS BY INSURANCE COMPANY. 8JB

ENGINE STALL AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES (WHEN IT GETS HEATED)

TREAD OF TWO TIRES SEPARATED AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. TREAD WERE STILL DEEP.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205/75R15 )

LEFT REAR GENERAL TIRE TREADS SEPARATED, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL/ACCIDENT. *SD

THE VEHICLE WAS HARD STARTING, ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SURGE, AT LOW SPEEDS AND UP HILL. THE THERMOSTAT STUCK AND SEVERAL OTHER MALFUNCTIONS. *BF THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE OVER HEATED ENGINE HAD SERIOUS BURNING INSIDE. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON TO SEE THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AT PEAK HEAT. THE CONSUMER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, HAD NO STEAM, NO CHECK ENGINE, JUST A FEAR OF ENGINE MELT DOWN ABOUT TO RECUR. *SC

MY ENGINE HAS AN INTERMITTENT IDLE CONTROL PROBLEM. PERIODICALLY (EVERY WEEK TO TWO WEEKS) MY ENGINE WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING IDLE. THE ENGINE STARTS EVERY TIME. AFTER 5 MINS. OF RUNNING TIME, THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED STARTS TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 0 RPM AND 1200 RPM. THE NORMAL IDLE SPEED AFTER THE INITIAL 5 MIN. WARM UP PERIOD IS 700-800 RPM. THIS IDLING PROBLEMS LASTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-20 MINS. IF I DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND LET MY ENGINE REST, THE IDLING PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF. AFTER 20 MINS. I CAN START THE ENGINE AND IT WILL RUN FINE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. IN ADDITION, IF I LEAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR ABOUT 15 MINS., THE IDLING PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF AND THE ENGINE HAS NO PROBLEMS FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIX BECAUSE I CANNOT BRING THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP WITH THE CAR DISPLAYING THIS IDLING CONTROL DIFFICULTY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF AFTER 20 MINS. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE THIS IDLING CONTROL PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIR BUT THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NEVER CAUSE MY CAR TO DISPLAY THIS IDLING CONTROL MALFUNCTION THAT I DESCRIBED. DURING THE WHOLE TIME PERIOD AT THE REPAIR SHOP, MY CAR STARTED EVERY TIME AND MAINTAINED IDLE WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTIES. IN ADDITION, WHEN THEY TRIED TO CHECK THE COMPUTER FOR ANAMOLOUS CONDITIONS, THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE IDLE CONTROL SOFTWARE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME A CONCERN BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*AK
