Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
The front passenger door actuator stopped working so that you can lock and unlock the door. I saw that there is a lawsuit for other Nissan models of the same year for issues with the same part and figured it might all be the same part and should report it. It has been confirmed by monro auto repair shop.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Quest. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle started overheating and jerking with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle started smoking, and the contact pulled over on the side of the road and added coolant, but the failure continued. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
Well the problem is unknown to nissan and I filed a complaint with the BBB, and it is not resolved, the Mechanics at the Nissan in Hammond La, said they could not find the problem and in Mccomb Ms, The Mechanics stated that Nissan to had send a Electrical Engineer take a look the Vehicle. Customer Service never did any thing to solve the problem, The problem started when I had repairs Done on the Vehicle about year and half ago and started pulling in EMF from the power lines over or near the road ways, also shocking me if I touch the Door or console , I have used a Electricamagnetic Radiation tester to read how high the Radiation is in the car, Tester is a Erickhill RT-100 rated in the top 10, it is also shocking me on my left foot , I have to drive with left foot tuck under my other leg, this Issue needs to be fix I am thinking of suing if I find evidence there is foul play involved. I am 61 years old and never have I had a vehicle shock me and give me headaches,
Transmission shudder at 1000-1500 rpm.
The passenger side curtain airbag spontaneously stopped working. The airbag warning light started flashing on the dashboard, and we took it in to the dealership. They reset the code warning, but the light came on again. They said they needed to replace the airbag after trying to replace the sensor and having the same issue. The van has not been in any accidents or had any side impacts and has about 72,000 miles on it. Nissan refuses to cover any part of the $3,000 repair cost since the manufacturer warranty expires at 60,000 miles. The dealership advised us that since there's an issue with one airbag, it's possible that no airbags would deploy in the event of a crash. So the airbag or airbag system is faulty and possibly has been all along, but we just now got the warning light. Obviously driving a car without working airbags is incredibly unsafe, and Nissan doesn't seem to think they should have to stand behind their products or consumers to fix the issue and ensure their safety.
WHEN VEHICLE IS WARMED UP, WHILE EXCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALLED AND WARRANTY EXTENDED ON ALL NISSAN VEHICLES EMCEPT THE QUEST. THE DEALERSHIP IN TERRE HAUTE SAYS IT NEEDS REPLACED AT A VALUE OF $4300. I WOULD LIKE SIGNIFICANT HELP WITH THIS.
I PURCHASED 2015 NISSAN QUEST ON JULY 3, 2019. AFTER I BROUGHT IT HOME, NOTICED IT HAD A NIL IN FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON JULY 3, AND ADV THE SALES REP STEVE PUSATERI. HE STATED THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED. ALSO ADVISED THAT THERE IS POOR ACCELERATION. JULY 6 2019, HAD AN APPT AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WITH ACCELERATION, THE TIRE WAS FIXED. ON JULY 11, 2019, MY WIFE WAS ON A ROAD TRIP, AND TEXT STEVE TO ADVISE THAT THE VAN IS SHAKING AND THERES A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. ON AUGUST 7TH, MY WIFE TOOK THE VAN TO DUNN TIRE. THAT IS WHERE THEY ADVISED HER THAT THE TIRES ARE T AND V RATING TIRES, AND THEY SHOULD NEVER BE COMBINED AND THAT IS DANGEROUS. DUNN TIRE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE TIRE DEPTH WAS AT 3-32. TOOK VAN BACK TO DEALER ON THURSDAY AUGUST 8, TO CHECK OUT THE SHAKING, THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A BROKEN BELT IN ONE OF THE TIRES, AND THAT CAUSES THE SHAKING. AT THAT TIME, WE BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION ABOUT THE MIXTURE OF TIRES ON VAN. AND WE ALSO ADV THAT THE REAR TIRE WAS CRACKED, AND LEAKING AIR PER DUNN TIRE. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VAN, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED US THAT THE VAN WAS CERTIFIED AND HAD A DETAILED INSPECTION. ON THE CERTIFIED PRE OWNED INSPECTION CHECKLIST IT READS AS FOLLOWS. THE TREAD DEPTH WAS AT 5-32. HOW COULD MIKE BARNEY NISSAN CERTIFY THE VEHICLE, WITH A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT TIRES ON THE VAN? THIS WAS A DANGER TO MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN, WHILE THEY WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY.. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE VAN ON AUGUST 13, THE CAN HAD 4 BRAND NEW TIRES. AFTER LEAVING THAT NIGHT, THE VAN CONTINUES TO SHAKE. MY WIFE LEFT A MESSAGE FOR SERVICE REP AUGUST 14, AND SHE HAS YET TO RETURN THE CALL.
THE CAR WAS PARKED. THE POWER SLIDING DOOR CLOSED ALL THE WAY ON MY CHILD'S HAND. THERE IS SUPPOSE TO BE A SAFETY MECHANISM THAT KEEPS THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ALL THE WAY. IT DID NOT WORK AND I HAD TO HIT THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR FOR IT TO OPEN AND RELEASE HIS HAND.

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
