1995 Nissan Quest Airbags Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VAN STALLING ON ME IN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN HOT TEMPERATURES, BUT LATELY HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN AVERAGE TEMPS. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS A VERY LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY VAN. VERY SCARY! IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL EXPLODE! THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 1998. IN AUGUST 1998, WE WERE EVACUATING FOR A HURRICANE AND WE WERE LEFT STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS HOT AND THE TRAFFIC WAS REALLY BAD. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! WE WAITED AROUND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND IT WORKED! ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE WAITED AGAIN, AND IT STARTED. 15 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD, WE WERE STUCK! WE FINALLY WORKED OUR WAY OUT OF HARMS WAY, NEEDLESS TO SAY, VERY LATE! BAD WEATHER! THE NEXT DAY, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN! AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE VAN DIDN'T STALL ON US FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH OR SO! THEN IT STARTED AGAIN! ALWAYS WHEN IT WAS HOT, AND SOMETIMES WHEN STUCK IN TRAFFIC! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW! I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY VAN AND THEY NEVER DID RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS! I BROUGHT MY VAN IN SEVERAL TIMES TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM! ODD HUH? I NORMALLY DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS WITH MY VAN, BUT I JUST CAN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY CHILDREN, NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL STOP ON ME AGAIN! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. RECENTLY, MY VAN STALLED ON ME AND LEFT ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND WOULDN'T GET ME BUT ABOUT 2 BLOCKS MORE WITHOUT STOPPING. THATS WHY I COULDN'T ENTER MY VIN #, BECAUSE MY VAN IS IN THE SHOP. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM! AGAIN! I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS AND NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. SHOULD THERE BE A RECALL OR SOMETHING? WHEN SO MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS? HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING IN COLD WEATHER. HADHAD FRONT END ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG DIDN'T OPEN.
