“In december of 2006 we purchased a 2004 Nissan Quest se. The first year was not entirely trouble free, the drivers seat would self adjust while driving. The dealer fixed it no charge. The in december of 07 the trans went out, again the dealer covered it at no charge, gave us a loaner and were done within a week. Except for the inconvenience of not having our van we were fine until now!!! In june of 08 we were going for a sunday drive and the van just died in the middle of the street. Nothing would work nothing, no power anywhere. …”
NHTSA complaint #10238712, filed 2008-08, 69,000 miles“The glass sun roof leaks, cauing water to accumulate in the real well. This accumulation of water causes the automatic lift gate to fail (short out). The sun roof alos leaks into the car passenger area dripping on the passengers in the middle row. There is water damage seen on the inside roof of the van & may cause mold & must smell.*”
NHTSA complaint #10112595, filed 2005-03, 11,329 miles“The air bag light glitches on the dashboard, it turns on and off. The only windows that open are the front door windows, the back side windows could barely crack open && the temperature inside the vehicle with the windows open reach dangerously high temperatures that literally are harmful and dangerous. A family vehicle with no ability to open any window on the 2 sliding doors, can lead to very high temperatures even though the front 2 windows open is still not enough for air to reach passengers who sit in the middle-row especially passengers who sit on the 3rd row seat in the back of the van. …”
NHTSA complaint #11277368, filed 2019-10, 130,000 miles“The windshield wiper fluid sprayed too low, causing impaired vision. The cause has not yet to been determined. The dealer tried to correct the problem by replacing the nozzles but that did not correct the problem. The part has been replaced twice. The consumer believes the nozzle needs to be redesigned. The storage lid warped and as a result the lid is not flush with the dash.”
NHTSA complaint #10067520, filed 2004-05, 3,000 miles“Ventilation system does not work properly. It blows hot air on all settings without the air conditioning on. Nissan acknowledges the problem exists on this minivan but says there is no fix for it.”
