2005 Nissan Quest Problems

TIMING CHAIN ISSUES . HAD IT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME AND IT SEEMS IT'S STILL HAS PROBLEMS. LAST REPAIR WAS DUE TO BROKEN GUIDE AND AND BROKEN TENSIONERS. AM WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

SITTING IN A DRIVE THROUGH BREAK ON IN DRIVE CAR REVS UP TO ABOUT 70MPHS. I PUT IN PARK AS ITS MOVONG FORWARD TO NEARLY MISS A CAR INFRONT OF ME AND I TURN THE CAR OFF. NOW BREAK COMPRESS TO THE FLOOR.

SITTING IN A DRIVE THROUGH BREAK ON IN DRIVE CAR REVS UP TO ABOUT 70MPHS. I PUT IN PARK AS ITS MOVONG FORWARD TO NEARLY MISS A CAR INFRONT OF ME AND I TURN THE CAR OFF. NOW BREAK COMPRESS TO THE FLOOR.

WHILE DRIVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES IN AND OUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, TEMP, TURNING SIGNALS, RPMS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE NECESSARY TO DRIVE SAFELY. SOMETIMES WHILE THE PANEL COMES BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY IT ENABLES THE OVERDRIVE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO JOLT WHILE DRIVING. DURING RESEARCH I FOUND THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND DEALERS QUOTING THEM IN THE 700- THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND A FREE REPAIR AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S AFFECTING TOO MANY VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE DOCTOR WHEN MY VAN LOST ALL POWER IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC ALL MODE GOT HIT BY A TRUCK IN THE REAR END. DO NOT WHAT HAPPENED JUST KNOW IT IS DOWN .CAR HAS NO POWER WILL NOT PULL OUT OR DRIVEWAY

NOISE, VIBRATION AND SOUNDS INDICATING IMMINENT FAILURE OF ONE OR MORE VALVETRAIN COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE'S 3.5L V6 ENGINE. PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO NISSAN; ADDRESSED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2004. COMPANY FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT, WHICH CONSISTS OF PREMATURE FAILURE OF TIMING CHAIN AND/OR VALVETRAIN COMPONENTS, INCLUDING VARIABLE VALVE TIMING MODULE AND PARTS. THE PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY THE SUBJECT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

THE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT BOLT, THE BOLT THAT GOES THROUGH THE UNIBODY, BROKE AND DROPPED THE A-ARM SECTION THAT HOLDS THE BACK PASSENGER TIRE, ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THREE TIRES GOING STRAIGHT AND THE BACK PASSENGER TIRE TURNED IN AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SPARKS AND SWERVING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. WE WERE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VAN AND GET IT TO THE SHOULDER. FOR A MOMENT WE THOUGHT THE VAN MIGHT ROLL. OUR MECHANIC STATED HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. THIS IS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST WITH 65,000 AND I MAINTENANCE IT REGULARLY. A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. *TR

THERE IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURING FLAW IN MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST SE. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS ISSUED BUT DO NOT ADDRESS THE EVIDENCE OF MISSING WELDS IN THE FRAME. OVER TIME THERE WILL BE SERIOUS INJURIES. I NEED A NEW VEHICLE THAT WILL PASS MORE THAN A RECALL THAT DOES NOT REMEDY THE REAL ISSUE OF FLAWED CONSUMER PROTECTION AND MANUFACTURING FRAUD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN HE ROLLS UP THE WINDOWS, THEY ROLL BACK DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. ALSO, THE DOORS DO NOT REMAIN LOCKED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 58,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN BY ITSELF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V186000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH) WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE 2004 MODELS, WHICH SHE THOUGHT SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2005 MODELS AS WELL. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,575 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,458.

WINDOWS WILL NOT STAY UP. THEY GO DOWN BUT WHEN ROLLED UP COME BACK DOWN HALF WAY. DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL NOW. VAN IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $400 TO REPAIR. *TR

FUEL GUAGE DOESN'T SHOW AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK. I PUT GAS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE EVEN THOUGH AT TIMES IT DOESN'T NEEDS MUCH. THE ODOMETER FUNCTION ON AND ONE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MILEAGE ON VEHICLE. . ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN ALL CHECK SHOWS VEHICLE SERVICE IS OK CAUSED FROM COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS.

2005 NISSAN QUEST HAD LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND LIGHT WAS ON. WAS AT DEALERSHIP GETTING BRAKES REPLACED FOR THE 4TH TIME. TOOK VAN TO GAS STATION NEXT DOOR AND PUT 16 GALLONS ($62) OF GAS IN. RESTARTED CAR AND GAS TANK STILL READ LESS THAN 1/4 AND EMPTY LIGHT/WARNINGS STILL FLASHING. DROVE BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY TRIED TO RESET AND ENDED UP DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL. THIS WAS OCT 2011 WITH 46,000MI. IT IS NOW APRIL AND CAR HAS 55,000MI. I WAS UNABLE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY SO HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH WARNING LIGHT. AFTER ABOUT 20MI, GAUGE NOW READS LESS THAN 1/2 TANK BUT TANK SHOULD BE READING FULL. THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL FOR A NUMBER OF NISSAN VEHICLES FOR GAS GAUGE ISSUES. CLEARLY A NISSAN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ACROSS THE BOARD. HAVING TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ IS NOT A GOOD LONG TERM SOLUTION. ALSO THIS VAN GOES THROUGH BRAKES AT AN ASTOUNDING RATE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS FRONT AND BACK 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 30,000 MI AND NOW NEED NEW ROTORS. ALSO HAVE REPLACED TIRES 3 TIMES. MOST RECENT MECHANIC SAID VAN WAS POORLY DESIGNED WITH BRAKES AND TIRES MEANT FOR A MUCH LIGHTER VEHICLE. *JS

2005 NISSAN QUEST WHEN LOCKING DOORS THROUGH ALARM CONTROL, AT TIMES, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN. STARTED TO OCCUR AT 61,000 MILES. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT TURNS ON EVEN WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS ADEQUATE. STARTED TO OCCUR AT 51,000 MILES. TIMING CHAIN GUIDES WERE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN, OCCURRED AT 63,000 MILES. GAS GAGE AT TIMES WILL NOT DISPLAY CORRECT LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN TANK. STARTED TO OCCUR AT 54,000 MILES. BACK HATCH STOPPED WORKING AT 42,000 MILES. *TR

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact drove over a pothole and the air bags were inadvertently deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN WENT OFF, THEN ON AGAIN. THE CODE READ THAT THE AIR BAGS WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG WAS SHORTED OUT.

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT DISPLAYING AS WELL AS THE ODOMETER AND TEMPERATURE- PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CURRENT LITIGATION HAD BEEN PLACED FOR SAME MODEL AND SAME OR DIFFERENT YEARS.. AIR BAG SENSOR ON FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS NOT ACTIVE BUT A SMALL ADULT IS ON THE SEAT. SIMILAR RECALLS HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL BUT NOT EXPANDING THROUGH MANY VIN#S BRAKE- SIMILAR RECALLS HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL BUT NOT EXPANDING THROUGH MANY VIN#S. AN ACCIDENT DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO RECALL THOSE CAR THAT ARE SUFFERING THE SAME DIAGNOSIS ON CURRENT/APPROVED RECALLS. AN ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A THUMPING NOISE HEARD WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

FUEL GUAGE-ODOMETER DISPLAY-TEMPETURE DISPLAY WANT READ CORRECT------THIS IS CAUSING A PROBLEM OF NEVER KNOWING IF THE CAR IS HOT OR RUNNING OUT OF GAS.I NEED TO KNOW HOW FAR I HAVE DRIVEN IN ORDER TO CHANGE MY OIL!! DRIVING OR SITTING STILL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE

THE VAN TURNS ON BUT IT LOSES SPEED WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS VERY HARD TO MAKE IT ACCELERATE ONCE IT COMES TO A STOP, THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T. NOW THEY THINK IT IS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH COMPUTER

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED.

I HAVE HAD THE VAN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 4 TIMES(~15 DAYS) WITH ONGOING PROBLEMS WHICH INCLUDE: THE WINDOWS FAILING TO ROLL UP WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED, THE GAS GAUGE FAILING TO REGISTER GAS AFTER FILLING IT UP, THE GAS METER AFTER A HALF A TANK NEVER REGISTERS CORRECTLY (WHEN LIGHT INDICATES NO GAS AND TANK IS FILLED THE VAN WILL ONLY TAKE 16 GALLONS AND OWNERS MANUAL INDICATES A 20 GALLON TANK), THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, THE SLIDING DOORS SQUEAK AND RATTLE, REAR INTERIOR CLAMPS ON FLOOR OF CAR ARE RUSTING, IDIOT LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, THE GASKETS ON THE DOORS ARE COMING OFF, THE HEATED SEATS HAVEN'T WORKED IN HIGH AND LOW, THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM DOESN'T RESPOND TO REAR AV, AND THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT COOL ENOUGH AND IT STINKS. THE AUTOMATIC SLIDE DOORS WILL NOT STOP FOR SMALL OBJECTS BUT THIS PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES. THESE DOORS WILL REMOVE A CHILD'S FINGER AND THE SWITCH TO INITIATE THE AUTO SLIDE IS LOW, WHERE ONE CHILD CAN PUSH IT WHILE ANOTHER IS GETTING IN, OR HAS THEIR HAND IN THE WAY AND DIDN'T REALIZE THEIR BROTHER PUSHED THE BUTTON. I DID MY OWN LITTLE RESEARCH TEST, I GOT PENCILS AND EVERYWHERE I PLACED A PENCIL THE DOOR CLOSED WITH THE PENCIL BEING SNAPPED INTO MANY PIECES AND CRUNCHED UP IN THE DOOR. THEN I TRIED THE SAME THING ON MY FRIEND'S HONDA, BUT THE HONDA'S AUTO SLIDE DOORS BOUNCED OFF EVERY TIME. NISSAN ONLY DESIGNED THEIR DOORS TO RESPOND TO LARGE EXTREMITIES. I HAVE AN ATTORNEY AND I AM GOING THROUGH A PROCESS FOR LEMON LAW. I DIDN'T REALIZE THE ISSUES WITH THE VAN IN A FEW DAYS SO I DON'T THINK NISSAN SERVICE WILL RESOLVE ALL THESE ISSUES IN 2 DAYS WITH A SPECIAL NISSAN ENGINEER SENT OUT FROM THE COMPANY AS PART OF MY LEMON LAW PROCESS. AND IN REGARDS TO THE SLIDING DOOR CONCERNS ALL ANYONE WILL SAY IS THAT THE DOORS ARE PERFORMING THE WAY THEY WERE DESIGNED TO. SO NISSAN DESIGNED A PRODUCT FOR FAMILIES THAT WILL REMOVE A SMALL HAND OR FINGER. *JB

INTERMITTENT COMPRESSOR & AC/ HVAC SYSTEM FAILURE, WHILE DRIVING WITH AC ON AIR WILL TURN WARM FOR SOME TIME AND THEN GET COLD, SOMETIMES CAN HEAR THE COMPRESSOR TURN ON AND OFF. DEALER WILL NOT FIX, AS THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SERVICE TECH SAYS OH IT IS A POOR DESIGN AND IS SUPPOSED TO CYCLE WARM AIR. *JB

THE FIRST FAILURE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND IN TRAFFIC. THIS REQUIRED A WALK HOME AND TOW OF THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD START WITH A JUMP BUT THEN SHORTLY AFTER WOULD COMPLETELY DIE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS AS AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. THE SECOND FAILURE IS A PERIODIC SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR. THE FIRST OCCURANCE FELT LIKE SLIPPING IN SNOW THEN GRABBING. WE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD US IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AN ERROR LIGHT WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASH. THE SECOND OCCURANCE 2 WEEKS LATER WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELEARATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT FELT AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH ENGINE REVING BUT NO POWER TO WHEELS. WE VERIFIED THE SHIFT WAS IN D AND THE DASH INDICATOR SAID "D". WE LOOKED FOR ANY TROUBLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BUT SAW NONE. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE AND RESTARTED WITH THE SAME RESULTS. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF A SECOND TIME AND RESTARTED. THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TEST DROVE IT AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. THEY ALSO FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THE DEALER IS NOW WAITING FOR TECHNICAL DIRECITON FROM NISSAN AND I AM WAITING FOR A RETURN CALL FROM A NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REGIONAL SPECIALIST. *NM

THIS MORNING WHEN I DROVE MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST VAN IN MY GARAGE I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED TO THE REAR OF THE VAN AND SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM AROUND THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING. I IMMEDIATELY BACKED THE VAN OUT OF THE GARAGE. SUDDENLY FLAMES CAME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING. BY THE TIME I COULD GRAB A FIRE EXTINGUISHER A HOLE APPROX. 6" IN DIAMETER HAD BURNED THROUGH AND MELTED PART OF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING AND THE REAR BUMPER FASCIA. I WILL CONTACT MY DEALER TOMORROW MORNING TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK SENT TO MY HOUSE TO PICK THE VAN UP AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

I HAD THE HEADLIGHT BULBS BLOW OUT A SECOND TIME. AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT. THAT IS UNUSUAL. *TR

OUTER REAR SEAT BELTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE IS STITCHING IN THE SEAT BELT THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE CLASP TO MOVE FREELY. THE CLASP GETS STUCK BELOW THE STITCHING AND IT GETS STUCK ABOVE THE STITCHING. I CHILD CANNOT WORK THE SEAT BELT PROPERLY. ONCE THE CLASP IS BELOW THE STITCHING WILL IT WORK PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT? *NM

FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO STAY FASTENED. THE BELT PLATE POPPED BACK OUT OF THE BUCKLE WHEN FASTENED. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING JAMMED IN THE BUCKLE. DEALER WILL BE CONTACTED. *AK
