2006 Nissan Quest Brakes Problems

“Steering wheel started shaking when I would press the brake. So took the van to my mechanic said my rotor needed replacing. While since then I had to replaced the front rotors five times. They keep getting bent. The steering wheel shaking stop with new rotors and start when rotors bend again. And yes the shaking is uncontrollable when it happens. Some one told me the Nissan sentra had that type of problem too.”

“My Quest was purchased 12/06. Since then the odometer has malfunctioned. They would not fix it. The brake disc have malfunctioned twice, even after Nissan replaced them. The response from Nissan was hotspots happen normally in discbrakes . The motor mounts went bad after 2.5 years. Now I am faced, after a little more than 4 years with power steering pump replacement and rack and pinion assembly.”

Lets get it together Nissan!!!!! I really want to know if going import is worth it. …”

I had to replace each set due to poor wearing. They became treadless and the cords were actually wearing through the tires. I still have my last set for someone to look at. …”

“I took my 2006 Nissan Quest in to have the tires rotated. The service manager said they reviewed front brakes and rear brakes and said they needed to be replaced. The front brakes had 15% life remaining and the rear brakes had 10% of there life remaining. The total cost was $626.91. This van had only 24,199 miles on it. I wrote a letter to Nissan customer serivce. They said they could not do any thing about this repaid, because the brakes were worn evenly all the way around. I told them that Nissan should tell their customers that their brakes do not last 25,000 miles. …”
