1996 Nissan Quest Engine cooling Problems

“I have had many problems with this ouest.I have replaced the heater control,both side exhaust manifolds,replace acc c/v boot,replace antenna motor,replace air bag control unit,replace back windshield wiper motor,replace both front lower ball joints and the vent hose. This are just the major things. I have spend around 7000.00 on this Quest for repairs and up keep. I brought it new in may of 1996. Never again.”

“Weird electrical problems,I have taken to 2 different people, 1 of which specializes in transmissions, the problem is that when the vehicle is warmed up the transmission doesn't know what gear it is in, on initial investigation the problem appears to be the trottle position sensor but that was replaced and still no fix. They hooked up computers to the car while driving and say the computer doesn't read the tps being operative during driving but no problems can be found with the wiring and computer board. …”

“Dealership fixed lock problem, but then refused to fix alarm problem after car was paid for. They told me it wasn't their problem, and that it would cost me about $500.00 to fix it. I couldn't afford to get it fixed right. Can you help me with this problem.”

“The vehical has failed on me four times since I purchased it used in early 2000, while operating under heavy strain at higher elevations, the engine quits dead with no notice of the on coming failure, I have had it into a dealer twice for the same problem and they can not diagnose the problem.it is dangerous and possible a deadly situation for me and my family. I have had the fuel pressure regulator checked and checks ok. I would not nor will not sell this car to anyone under it's current condition.”

“My Quest would take a long time to get heat into the interior. Recently it started overheating as well.

However, the t'stat listed for this vehicle will not fit with the spring to the inside of the engine; and the original t'stat (I don't think it has ever been replaced - it had Nissan on it) was installed with the spring end facing the hose end. So I installed a shorter t'stat so the spring would fit toward the engine. …”
