“Will start, run 5 minutes then die. The wiring to the radiator fan fuse box is burnt. Took it to Nissan dealer who replaced the burnt wires, cost $75. They said the engine wiring needed replaced. I called a dealer near home and they said it would cost $3000 to fix this. This is half of what the car is worth. We have replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, and ignition coil.”
NHTSA complaint #10070046, filed 2004-01, 115,000 miles“We have a 1995 Nissan Quest at 75,000 mileages that is well maintained and runs very smoothly.

While I was driving to lake tahoe, ca, all of a sudden, the engine lost power, and I could not control the steeling wheel and break. The car almost fell off the cliff. I sent my van to an auto pepair shop right after I arrived in south lake tahoe, but the technician could not find anything wrong with my van, and I drove the van back without any problems.
