1997 Nissan Quest Interior & seats Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats 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.

THE CAR LOCKS SPONTANEOUSLY AND CONSTANTLY. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT (SERVICE BULLETIN 98068). WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER SINCE THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN (MY 2 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR IN HIS CAR SEAT OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND), I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY ARE REFUSING. *NM

I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT I HAVE IDENTIFIED WITH MOST OF THE FAILURE PROBLEMS THAT ARE LISTED ON THE COMPLAINT PAGE. THE RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT HAS FAILED, IT WILL NOT PULLOUT OR RETRACT, AND NO ONE CAUSE THIS PROBLEM, IT IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE SAET BELT. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT FUEL ODOR IN THE VAN FROM TIME TO TIME, NO PARTICULAR TIME NOTED. THE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND UNLOCK PROPERLY, AND IT WILL LOCK BY ITSELF AND STICK, ALSO IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION CONSISTANTLY.MY BRAKE PADS ARE GOING OUT, IT MAY JUST BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THEY SEEMED TO GO OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN. IN GENERAL IT MAKES ALL KINDS OF WHISTLING, GRINDING AND BUMPING NOISES WHEN DRIVING.*AK
