2005 Nissan Quest

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact drove over a pothole and the air bags were inadvertently deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

TIMING CHAIN ISSUES . HAD IT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME AND IT SEEMS IT'S STILL HAS PROBLEMS. LAST REPAIR WAS DUE TO BROKEN GUIDE AND AND BROKEN TENSIONERS. AM WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

SITTING IN A DRIVE THROUGH BREAK ON IN DRIVE CAR REVS UP TO ABOUT 70MPHS. I PUT IN PARK AS ITS MOVONG FORWARD TO NEARLY MISS A CAR INFRONT OF ME AND I TURN THE CAR OFF. NOW BREAK COMPRESS TO THE FLOOR.

CADENA DEL TIENPO ASE RUIDO FUERTE

FUEL GUAGE DOESN'T SHOW AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK. I PUT GAS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE EVEN THOUGH AT TIMES IT DOESN'T NEEDS MUCH. THE ODOMETER FUNCTION ON AND ONE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MILEAGE ON VEHICLE. . ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN ALL CHECK SHOWS VEHICLE SERVICE IS OK CAUSED FROM COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS.

TIMINIG CHAIN IS VERY LOUD AND NEEDS TO REPLACED AT ONLY 141K

I WAS DRIVING TO THE DOCTOR WHEN MY VAN LOST ALL POWER IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC ALL MODE GOT HIT BY A TRUCK IN THE REAR END. DO NOT WHAT HAPPENED JUST KNOW IT IS DOWN .CAR HAS NO POWER WILL NOT PULL OUT OR DRIVEWAY

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN WENT OFF, THEN ON AGAIN. THE CODE READ THAT THE AIR BAGS WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG WAS SHORTED OUT.

NOISE, VIBRATION AND SOUNDS INDICATING IMMINENT FAILURE OF ONE OR MORE VALVETRAIN COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE'S 3.5L V6 ENGINE. PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO NISSAN; ADDRESSED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2004. COMPANY FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT, WHICH CONSISTS OF PREMATURE FAILURE OF TIMING CHAIN AND/OR VALVETRAIN COMPONENTS, INCLUDING VARIABLE VALVE TIMING MODULE AND PARTS. THE PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY THE SUBJECT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

THE VAN TURNS ON BUT IT LOSES SPEED WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS VERY HARD TO MAKE IT ACCELERATE ONCE IT COMES TO A STOP, THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T. NOW THEY THINK IT IS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH COMPUTER

WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE, THERE IS ALMOST NO POWER. I PULLED INTO A CAR DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT SOME USED CARS. THE VAN'S ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN DRIVE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, WE MOVED FORWARD VERY SLOWLY. LOW AND OVER DRIVE WERE NO BETTER, BUT REVERSE SEEMED FINE. FORWARD GEARS HAVE VERY LITTLE POWER.

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE CENTER MANY TIMES FOR A LOSS OF POWER. THEY HAD ME REPLACE THE ECU, WHICH HAD TO BE PROGRAMMED, THEN THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I BOUGHT ALL THREE OF THOSE. AFTER THAT IT NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED FOR THE AIR/FUEL RATIO. STILL RAN THE SAME. I BROUGHT IT INTO A DIFFERENT SHOP, THEY SAID IT HAD A BAD THROTTLE. MY BROTHER HAD ONE I HAD PUT IN BUT STILL NO POWER, AND HESITATION AT ACCELERATION AND UP HILLS, AND MISFIRES AND BACKFIRES A LOT. ONE OF THE CODES THEY FOUND FOR ME WAS A TIMING ISSUE. MY BROTHER HAS SAME VAN TOLD ME HE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. I'VE HEARD A RATTLING AND WHINING NOISE FROM TIMING AREA, SO I LOOKED INTO THIS FURTHER. BACK IN 2004 NISSAN ISSUED A TSB REGARDING THIS ISSUE TELLING TECHNICIANS TO MAKE A "GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT" TO PUSH BACK REPAIRS OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE LEARNING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN SHOULD IT FAIL. I DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THAT VAN AND BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. APPARENTLY NOT. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS EVEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. I CURRENTLY AWAIT TO HEAR FROM A SUPERVISOR TO GIVE THEM AN EARFUL AND TO FIND OUT THE REASONS WHY IT WILL NOT BE FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IF CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH WE TRAVEL ALMOST EVERY DAY), THIS WOULD LEAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY CRIPPLED AND UNABLE TO STEER OUT OF THE WAY OF ANY DANGER. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED IF NOT KILLED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT FROM THIS IF NOT ALREADY. IT'S A SHAME NISSAN DOESN'T SEE THE VALUE OF POTENTIALLY SAVING ITS CUSTOMERS LIVES VS. THE COST OF MAKING NECESSARY REPAIRS. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'LL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN.

HAD TO REPLACE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. LACK OF POWER AND NO REVERSE. BASED ON RESEARCH A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF NISSAN QUEST, NISSAN MAXIMA AND NISSAN ALTIMA FROM 2005 HAVE THIS ISSUE, AND NO RECALLS WAS ISSUED NOR NISSAN DEALER ACCOUNTABLE FOR PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, HAD LACK OF POWER, MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP, PUT CAR IN PARK, TRIED REVERSE GEAR, AND WAS NOT WORKING, TRIED DRIVE GEAR AND IT MOVES FORWARD BUT WITH VERY LITTLE POWER. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND AND AFTER SEVERAL INSPECTION HE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION.

CAR STARTED THROWING OUT SERVICE ENGINE CODES AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO ANY OTHER GEARS AND IS HAVING TROUBLE SPEEDING UP PAST 15 MILES PER HOUR. STARTED AY 114342 MILES. OCCURRED AFTER A CLUNK SOUND WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND HAD A HARD TIME MAKING IT UP THE HILL TO OUR HOME.

WHEN PUT IN GEAR OR STOP AND GO JERKS VERY HARD AND SOME TIMES DON'T WANT TO GO.

FUEL GUAGE-ODOMETER DISPLAY-TEMPETURE DISPLAY WANT READ CORRECT------THIS IS CAUSING A PROBLEM OF NEVER KNOWING IF THE CAR IS HOT OR RUNNING OUT OF GAS.I NEED TO KNOW HOW FAR I HAVE DRIVEN IN ORDER TO CHANGE MY OIL!! DRIVING OR SITTING STILL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION , ROUGH SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING THE VAN, UP SHIFTING OR DOWN SHIFTING,

THE ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE. DEALER SAYS TIMING CHAIN GUIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT A COST OF $1700. THEY ALSO ASKED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT MAY CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND ALSO ENGINE DAMAGE

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST WENT OUT WHILE ON VACATION IN NORTH CAROLINA FROM OUT OF STATE IN JUNE OF 2015. JUST REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN TODAY 12/16/15 AM LOSING FAITH ON NISSANS RELIABILITY.

WHILE DRIVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES IN AND OUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, TEMP, TURNING SIGNALS, RPMS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE NECESSARY TO DRIVE SAFELY. SOMETIMES WHILE THE PANEL COMES BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY IT ENABLES THE OVERDRIVE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO JOLT WHILE DRIVING. DURING RESEARCH I FOUND THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND DEALERS QUOTING THEM IN THE 700- THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND A FREE REPAIR AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S AFFECTING TOO MANY VEHICLES.
