1995 Nissan Quest Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“The crankshaft broke off due to a structural failure of the shaft. I spent the next 22 days trying to get Nissan to replace the crank and repair the 1995 Quest van. Nissan began installing larger crankshafts in their 1996 models but they never offered to help with the repairs. I have a small claims court hearing oct 11 and would like to know of all the similar cases that have been filed to date. After 22 days I had the van repaired at my mechanics shop at the cost of $3371.00 I still have the crank.”

“Consumer's 4 1/2 year old son was able to shift vehicle out of gear, condition which caused vehicle to roll backward and hit the garage door. Manufacturer was notified. Please provide any further information.”

“Dt: the contact owns a 1995 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in driveway it came out of gear and rolled into the neighbor's garage. The contact stated the vehicle was in park without the key in the ignition. The gear selector was still in park, but the transmission could have slipped to cause the vehicle to roll. The vehicle has not been inspected by the service dealer to determine the cause of the failure. But the consumer called the dealership. The manufacturer said that there was no recall on this problem and they would check into the matter.”

“I bought this vehicle used, with approximately 106000 miles. The key comes out of the ignition without being in park. I can even take the key out of the ignition while the vehicle is running or driving down the road. The first time I parked after purchasing the vehicle, I forgot to put it in park and came out of a store and the vehicle had rolled to the middle of the parking lot. Thankfully it hadn't hit another vehicle. When I put it in park, I have to be careful to make sure it is in gear before I exit the vehicle. Keyless entry doesn't work if the car is running.”

“Consumer had a fuel pump installed by dealer. Also, axle was replaced and when she turned vehicle there was a noise, like vehicle was going to break. Consumer has to continue to put power steering inside of vehicle. Dealership was aware of problem.”
