2002 Nissan Quest

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCURRENCES WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND THE RADIO WOULD NOT COME ON AND THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE TIME. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE. I REPLACED THE FUSE BUT THIS EVENT KEPT OCCURRING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ONE DAY IT WAS RAINING AND THE RADIO WOULD NOT COME ON NOR WOULD THE TIME BE DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN AND THEN I FOUND OUT MY WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. SO WHENEVER THIS OCCURRED AGAIN, I WOULD CHECK THE WIPERS AND FIND OUT THAT WHEN THE RADIO WAS NOT WORKING, NEITHER WOULD THE WIPERS. I WOULD HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, START AND STOP THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE RADIO WOULD COME ON. ONCE THAT HAPPENED, MY WIPERS WOULD BEGIN WORKING TOO. THIS IS STILL AN ONGOING PROBLEM. MY WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE AND WHEN SHE LEFT, THE RADIO WAS NOT WORKING SO SHE PULLED BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE, TALKED TO THE SERVICE AGENT. HE WENT OUT AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE RADIO WAS WORKING. THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL SHORT SOMEWHERE IN THIS VEHICLE. *JB

THE CHROME ON BOTH FRONT DOOR HANDLES ARE CHIPPING AWAY. WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPENED THE CHROME IS CUTTING THE OCCUPANTS HANDS. DEALERSHIP IS NOT RETURNING CONSUMER'S CALLS. *AK THE CHROME HAS CHIPPED AWAY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, CAUSING CUTS TO DRIVER'S LEFT HAND. THE CHROME ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS CRACKING ALONG THE UPPER SIDE AND IS BUBBLING ON THE EXTERIOR SIDE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS BUBBLING AND WOULD CHIP AWAY AND TO INSTALL NEW DOOR HANDLES WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY$250.00. MANUFACTURER NOT WILLING TO HELP AT THIS TIME. *TT *NM

I OWNED A 2002 NISSAN QUEST WITH APPROX. 40,000 MILES. ON JANUARY 13, 2005, I RETURNED TO MY HOME AT 2:00AM. AT APPROXIMATELY 2:15AM I HEARD 2 LOUD POPS COME FROM OUTSIDE MY HOME. WHEN I LOOKED OUTSIDE MY VAN WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED FROM THE FIRE DAMAGE. PREVIOUS SERVICE HISTORY INCLUDED: CHECK OF DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW FOR OUT OF TRACK PROBLEMS AND PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL (CONSOLE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS) ACTING IMPROPERLY WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT RE-DUPLICATE. WORKED WITH AUTUMN AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, VERY RUDE AND UNHELPFUL. NISSAN STATED THAT I HIT A LARGE OBJECT AND DAMAGED THE FUEL TANK HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN INVLOVED IN ANY OTHER INCIDENTS OR ACCIDENTS.*AK

THE VEHICLE'S REMOTE DOOR ENTRY SYSTEM, AUTOMATIC WINDOWS, SEAT HEATERS AND COMPASS MIRROR FAILED. *NM THE REPAIR ENTAILED INSTALLING A NEW CONTROLLER WHICH REQUIRED NEW REMOTE ENTRY KEYS. ORIGINALLY THE CONSUMER WAS ISSUED TWO REMOTE KEYS AFTER REPAIR AN THE KEYS WHERE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER ONLY RECEIVED ONE AND WAS REQUESTED TO PAY FOR THE SECOND ONE. *TC

PURCHASED NEW 2002 NISSAN QUEST ON 12/201.CURRENT MILLAGE IS 26,000. ALL 4 TIRES HAVE HAD TIRE SEPARATION. WE REPLACED THE FIRST ONE ON 7/03 WITH ONLY 17,800 MILES ON IT, THE SECOND ONE ON 12/03, THE THIRD ONE ON 7/12/04, AND THE FORTH ON 8/22/04. AFTER CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER (CONTINENTAL TIRES) THEY HAVE MADE ME PAY FOR ALL 4 REPLACEMENT TIRES. I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT I BELIVE THAT THOSE TIRES MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD PRORATE THE TIRES, BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE TIRES? IF THOSE TIRES WOUOLD HAVE BEEN GOOD THEY SHOULD HAVE LASTED AT LEAST 40-50 THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO PAY TO RE-ALIGN THE VAN. THIS IS A SECOND VEHICLE THAT, AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE MILLAGE, IS NOT USED ALOT. ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT TIRE KINGDOM IN APOPKA, SO I DON'T HAVE THE TIRE NUMBERS YOU MIGHT NEED. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO RETURN THEM TO CONTINENTAL FOR THE WARRANTY. THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL ON ALL FOUR OCCASIONS. TWICE WE WERE DRIVING LONG DISTANCE AND COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. TIRE SIZE IS: P215/65R16 THE REPLACEMENT TIRES ARE THE SAME AS THE ONES BEFORE, BUT I DON'T WANT THEM! I DON'T TRUST THEM! WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS A NEW SET OF TIRES FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER OR AT LEAST REPAYMENT OF THE PRORATED MONEY I HAD TO INVEST PLUS THE ALIGNMENT WHICH AMOUNTS TO $224.19. *AK

WE PURCHASED A 2002 NISSAN QUEST VAN IN FEBRUARY, 2003 FROM ASHEBORO, NC NISSAN. THE DAY THAT WE PURCHASED THE VAN, WE EXPERIENCED AN OIL LEAK. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP, AND WE HAVE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS. IN MARCH, 2003, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING, CONSOLE, SEATS AND FLOOR. ASHEBORO NISSAN REPLACED ONE CONTINENTAL TIRE IN APRIL THEN 2 MORE WERE REPLACED IN OCTOBER (SAME TIRE MAKE REPLACED). SINCE ALL OF THIS, THE ASHEBORO NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS BACKED OUT OF OUR PROBLEM, AND I AM NOW DEALING WITH KENNETH CARTER AT NISSAN AMERICA IN LA. WE HAVE NOW HAD A TOTAL OF 7 CONTINENTAL TIRES ON OUR VAN, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. MY WIFE WAS TOLD BY JEFF AT ASHEBORO NISSAN MONTHS AGO THAT IT MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS EVER CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT BY THE NC ATTY. GENERALS OFFICE. *LA
