“I have Nissan Quest 2004 mini van. 2 weeks back one day my son 7 year old got trapped in the 3rd row seat on the passenger side. We couldn't take him out. If I try to loose the belt the it keep locking finally I had to cut the seat belt. Usually if the belt locksup then if you release the belt it usually frees up but it didn't do it . Luckily this happened when got to back to home and my kids were trying to come out of the van. I think this needs a little attention. I don't know if this is faulty seat belt or faulty mechanism. …”
NHTSA complaint #10326192, filed 2010-04, 53,000 miles“I was driving on a side road with my daughters in the car when the airbag deployed for no reason. Ten min utes later the car alarm sounded for 15 minutes Nissan is claiming from the inspection that I was in a moderate to severe collision. This is totally not true. My daughters can attest to this. There are scraps under my car from the long gravel driveway that I use to drive to a horse farm. They are using these scraps as evidence of a collision. They will not repair the airbag or seatbelt. This is a huge safety issue for all 2004 Quest owners.”
