“I just replaced all the motor mounts on my 2007 Nissan Quest. They have gone bad again. After looking up many forums online, this appears to be a very common issue and possible design flaw. Why has this not become a recall on Nissan's part? Are motor mounts not a concern? Everyone is stating that no matter what they use, either aftermarket or genuine Nissan parts, they all fail.”
NHTSA complaint #11387091, filed 2021-01, 120,000 miles“My 2007 Nissan Quest with144,500 miles, has a real bad clunking sound when accelerating, decelerating, or taking off from a standstill. A mechanic told me that it is from bad motor mounts. When accelerating or braking, the motor moves a lot. It does not make any more noises when turning, mainly win braking and accelerating, but also when the transmission shifts up or down a gear.”
NHTSA complaint #11281349, filed 2019-11, 144,000 miles“We were headed out on a 2400 mile trip and wanted to make sure our van was ready. First issue was the struts. Got those fixed. A week later we were back in because of engine noise and they fixed the timing chain and tensioners. A few days later again because of engine noise we found out the wheel bearing needed fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10893738, filed 2016-08, 122,000 miles“It was a noise coming under the car we take to mechanic .they told me timing chain is loose don't drive like this it is danger 3500 dollars to fix it .

NHTSA complaint #10526445, filed 2013-07, 78,000 miles“I purchased my 2007 Nissan Quest se january of 2014 and after about a year of ownership, the van started to make the now infamous timing chain rattle noise upon cold starting the van. It would eventually go away after 10 minutes or more, but its really annoying to have to listen to this loud noise every time I start my van, and Nissan should be held accountable and offer a free permanent fix to this problem.”
