“My 2006 Nissan Quest has bad jerking in the transmission when the gears change. It does this when it both gearing up and shifting down at any speed. The jerking is very bad when also coming from reverse to drive. This is a safety concern for me and my family because if it gives out on the expressway, it could cause an accident and that puts my family including my baby in danger. Also if I am stranded on the side of the road with my child in extreme heat or cold this also puts my child in danger. This transmission needs to be recalled seeing is how I am not the only one with the complaint.”

“Michelin pax system tires on a 2006 Nissan Quest se. We have the michelin pax tires on our minivan and they are constantly losing air, are very loud and stiff, and worst of all are very poor and dangerous in snow. We have not had good luck this past week maneuvering our minivan in any type of snow or on any slippery road surface. Our vehicle can not have any other type of tire because of the system that is installed from factory and we only have 21,000 miles on the van and need new tires which cost on unbelievable amount of money (over $1200) for replacement tires when they are still very new! …”

“The traction control system (tcs) of the vehicle has a manufacturer defect. While driving the vehicle suddenly slowed down and then shut down. The vehicle dragged and slipped from side to side. The problem is unique to Nissan, particularly Quest, but Nissan is not willing to fix it. The tcs light and the slip light came on and a sudden jack brought the vehicle to a halt. The service engine soon light came on though the car was serviced just the month before and we have not been using it because the fuel gauge and odometer were not displaying fully/properly. …”

“I purchase a used Nissan Quest in june 2016 couple weeks later the air bag light starts flashing. Another thing is the cluster that reads over hearing and miles flashes and twitches. My vehicle at the time of purchase had 121,246 miles I'm the second owner. I took to courtesy Nissan and was told that the flashing airbag light is nothing to worry about, but I have seen several reviews and complaints about the airbags and can't stop worrying since this is a family vehicle. Another issue with the vehicle is the sensors and timing chain gave up soon. Also at to replace air conditioning system. …”
