I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, BOTH BIG AND SMALL, WITH MY BRAND NEW NISSAN QUEST SE. I CAN ALMOST DEAL WITH THE SQEAKS, RATTLES, BROKEN BUTTONS, BROKEN LIGHTS, MALFUNCTIONING SENSORS, RADIO PROBLEMS, AND MALFUNCTIONING SLIDER DOORS, BUT THE PROBLEM I CANNOT ACCEPT IS THE FAILURE OF THE CAR TO RUN DURING DAMP OR COLD DAYS. THE CAR CRANKS AND STARTS AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, BUT WHEN IT IS PUT INTO DRIVE IT EITHER LAGS AS IF IT'S RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, OR DIES COMPLETELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASSIONS, 2 OF WHICH I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. MEANWHILE, I NEVER KNOW IF MY CAR WILL RUN ON THESE DAYS, I HAVE EVEN BEEN FORCED TO WALK DOWN THE STREET IN BELOW ZERO WINDCHILL TEMPERATURES WITH MY CHILDREN IN ORDER TO GET HELP. I PURCHASED A NEW CAR TO HAVE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND, AND INSTEAD I AM LOSING SLEEP AT NIGHT AND ASKING NISSAN TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. I WILL LIST THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ON THE FORM, BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES.*AK

ON MARCH 31 2004, MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN QUEST SE. (VIN 5N1BV2U44N352872). THE REASON FOR THE PURCHASE WAS DUE TO THE SIZE AND AGES OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN. THEY ARE AGED AS FOLLOWS: 14 YEARS, 11 YEARS, 20 MONTHS, 6 WEEKS. SINCE WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER. WITH ABOUT 350 MILES ON IT, THE AIR CONDITIONER LOCKED UP AND THE COMPRESSOR WAS REPLACED. AROUND MAY WE NOTICED THE AC WAS NOT COOLING THE VAN OFF AT ALL. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE IN TEXAS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MILDER MONTHS. WE TOOK THE VAN IN SOMETIME IN EARLY JUNE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. SHORTLY THERE AFTER THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE STATING IT WAS PERFORMING TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. I THEN WENT AND PURCHASED A AC VENT THERMOMETER. ON LOW THE TEMPERATURE BLOWING OUT OF THE VENTS IS COLD AROUND 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. HOWEVER WHEN YOU TURN IT TO MEDIUM OR HIGH SPEED THE TEMPERATURE THAT BLOWS OUT AT THE VENTS IS AROUND 70-75 DEGREES. THIS TEMPERATURE IS CONSISTENT EVEN AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MINUTES WITH AN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OF AROUND 90. (WHICH AGAIN IS MILD FOR A TEXAS SUMMER). WITH THE AIR ON HIGH FOR 30-35 MINUTES THE TEMPERATURE IN THE CABIN AT THE MIDDLE ROW OF SEATS IS 87 DEGREES. THIS IS ALSO WITH THE REAR AIR ON HIGH AS WELL. MY CHILD'S PEDIATRICIAN ADVISED ME TO NOT LET MY INFANT RIDE IN THESE TEMPERATURES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF DEHYDRATION. SO, BASICALLY I AM IN A $35,000 (MSRP) AUTOMOBILE THAT I CAN NOT LET MY CHILD RIDE IN ON ANY TRIPS FOR FEAR THAT HE MAY GET SICK. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER NOR SHOULD MY CHILD. THE VEHICLE IS SIMPLY NOT PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD.*AK

(1) EVER SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE ON MAY 1 2004, THE A/C SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMING POORLY. (2) ON A 100 TO 110 DEGREE DAY IN PHOENIX ARIZONA, THE A/C AT BEST CAN BLOW 60 TO 70 DEGREES OUT OF THE FRONT VENTS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 1 HOUR. MY OTHER 2 VEHICLES AND MY FRIEND'S 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY ALL BLOW 40 DEGREES OUT OF THEIR FRONT VENTS. THE QUEST A/C SYSTEM IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WITH 6 MONTH TWINS IN THE VEHICLE SWEATING. THESE READINGS WERE MEASURED WITH A THERMOMETER. (3) THE QUEST HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND THE FREON LEVEL WAS UNDERCHARGED. THEY RECHARGED THE FREON AND CHECK FOR LEAKS IN WHICH NONE WERE FOUND. 2ND AND 3RD TIME, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THE A/C SYSTEM WAS OPERATING WITHIN THEIR SPECIFICATIONS. AT 104 DEGREES, THE A/C SYSTEM CAN BLOW 72 TO 78 DEGREES AND STILL BE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. THE SPECIFICATION RANGE IS UNACCEPTABLE WHERE OTHER VEHICLES CAN EASILY PERFORM BETTER. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE LIVING IN A HOT CLIMATE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH MY TWINS IN MIND. IF WE KNEW THE A/C SYSTEM WAS GOING TO PERFORM POORLY THEN WE WOULD HAVE NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. 4TH TIME:AFTER CALLING 1800NISSAN1, WE TOOK THE QUEST TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THEY CONSULTED WITH NISSAN ASSIST AND LOWER THE FREON PRESSURE. THIS DID NOT HELP. CALLED 1800NISSAN1 AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ELSE. I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE. *JB

Apr 16, 2004
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER SLIDING DOOR(S), AT AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE BELOW APPROXIMATELY 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE ACTUATOR FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR(S) MAY EXPERIENCE BINDING DUE TO AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION CONDITION. IN ORDER TO OPEN, CLOSE OR REVERSE A POWER SLIDING DOOR, THE SHIFT SELECTOR LEVER MUST BE IN "PARK." IF THE ACTUATOR IS EXPERIENCING BINDING AND THE DRIVER SHIFTS THE VEHICLE OUT OF "PARK" WHILE A POWER SLIDING DOOR IS STILL CLOSING, THE DOOR LATCHES MAY NOT ENGAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN RESULT IN THE DOOR COMING OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY UPON RAPID ACCELERATION, AND AN OCCUPANT COULD FALL OUT OF THE DOOR AND BE INJURED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACTUATOR FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR(S). OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
04V103000 · Air Bags:frontal:sensor/control MODULE-INACTIVE
Mar 1, 2004
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE ADVANCED AIR BAG REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THE AIR BAG FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS TO BE TURNED OFF (SO THAT IT DOES NOT INFLATE) WHEN CERTAIN OCCUPANTS, SUCH AS SMALL CHILDREN, ARE IN THE FRONT SEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS REDUCES THE RISK OF SUCH OCCUPANTS BEING UNJURED BY AN INFLATING AIR BAG IN A COLLISION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION/SENSOR ASSEMBLY. IF THE SEAT CUSHION/SENSOR IS FOUND TO BE OPERATING IMPROPERLY, THE SEAT WILL BE REMOVED AND RECALIBRATED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
