“The alignment adjustment bolt, the bolt that goes through the unibody, broke and dropped the a-arm section that holds the back passenger tire, onto the highway. I had three tires going straight and the back passenger tire turned in at 65 MPH on the highway with sparks and swerving into the oncoming lane. We were able to regain control of the van and get it to the shoulder. For a moment we thought the van might roll. Our mechanic stated he has never seen anything like this before. This is a 2005 Nissan Quest with 65,000 and I maintenance it regularly. A very serious safety concern. …”
NHTSA complaint #10436888, filed 2011-11, 65,000 miles“Dt: contact owns a 2005 Nissan Quest. The angle of the windshield and the color of the dashboard reflect off the dashboard, making it impossible for the consumer to see out of the windshield. The local dealer called Nissan, and Nissan refused to admit that there was a problem. There was only 3,000 miles on the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10132636, filed 2005-09, 100 miles“I have had the van in the shop at least 4 times(~15 days) with ongoing problems which include: the windows failing to roll up when button is pushed, the gas gauge failing to register gas after filling it up, the gas meter after a half a tank never registers correctly (when light indicates no gas and tank is filled the van will only take 16 gallons and owners manual indicates a 20 gallon tank), the transmission slips, the sliding doors squeak and rattle, rear interior clamps on floor of car are rusting, idiot lights come on intermittently, the gaskets on the doors are coming off, the heated…”
NHTSA complaint #10166604, filed 2006-08, 5,000 miles“There is a major manufacturing flaw in my 2005 Nissan Quest se. There have been 2 recalls issued but do not address the evidence of missing welds in the frame. Over time there will be serious injuries. I need a new vehicle that will pass more than a recall that does not remedy the real issue of flawed consumer protection and manufacturing fraud.”
NHTSA complaint #10323814, filed 2010-04“The contact stated the rear sliding door was difficult to open. The contact managed to open the door by using extreme force. Although the problem persisted, the vehicle was not seen by a dealer.”
