WE BOUGHT OUR QUEST USED FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN DECEMBER 2008. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE ELECTRIC DOORS DO NOT ALWAYS OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN WE WANT THEM TO... THEY SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS TURN THEMSELVES ON AND OFF. AFTER ONLY DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MONTHS, THE FRONT END STARTED POPPING WHEN WE WOULD TURN A CORNER. WE CHECKED THE LOWER BALL JOINTS, BEING AS THIS IS A TYPICAL CHARACTERISTIC. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THEM. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, THE VAN STARTED SHAKING REAL BAD WHEN WE WOULD BRAKE, AND THE FRONT TIRES STARTED LIFTING TREAD. WE TOOK THE VAN TO A MECHANIC TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AND SOURCE OF SHAKING. HE TOLD US THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE... NO ADJUSTMENTS WERE NEEDED. HE SAID THE POPPING WAS THE BALL JOINTS. WE BOUGHT TWO NEW BALL JOINTS, AND UPON REMOVING THE CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY, WE REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE REAR BUSHING OF THE FRONT CONTROL ARM, NOT THE BALL JOINT. THE RUBBER IS ROTTED OUT. YOU CAN NOT SEE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL YOU REMOVE THE WHOLE ARM. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO HIT A CURB REALLY HARD TO BREAK THESE, BUT HAVE NOT HIT ANY CURBS HARD EVER IN THIS VAN. I FEEL THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS, SINCE I HAVE NOTICED THIS IS AN EXTREMEMLY REOCCURING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. UPON REPLACING THE TIRES, THE NEW ONES TREADS ARE LIFTING. THEY WERE REPLACED 6 WEEKS AGO. *TR

BAD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING, CHANGED ROTORS AND PADS ON FRONT BRAKES SEEM TO MAKE THE PROBLEM LESS BUT AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME A CLUNKING NOISE 5000 MILES WAS STARTING TO BE HEARD.

THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT SEE THIS WHEN THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES APPROX 3 WEEKS PRIOR. WE NOTICED IT, BECAUSE THE FRONT END STARTED MAKING A CRUNCHING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, AND I THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE BRAKES THAT WERE JUST REPLACED. *TR

Official recalls
4Oct 17, 2005
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH A FOLDING THIRD ROW REAR SEAT, WHEN THE THIRD ROW SEAT IS RAISED FROM ITS STOWED POSITION, IT ENGAGES STRIKER BRACKETS, ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE SEAT CUSHION. THE FOLD-AWAY STRIKER LOOP IS WELDED TO A MOUNTING BRACKET. THE STRIKER MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM ITS MOUNTING BRACKET DUE TO A BROKEN WELD AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE BRACKET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE THIRD ROW SEAT STRIKER WELD FAILS, THE STRIKER COULD SEPARATE FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET. STRIKER SEPARATION COULD AFFECT THE RISK OF INJURY IN CERTAIN TYPES OF CRASHES.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE THIRD ROW SEAT STRIKER BRACKETS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 19, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Oct 13, 2005
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS, THERE IS A SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM THAT CONTAINS EXPOSED MOVING COMPONENTS LOCATED AT THE REAR INSIDE EDGE OF THE SECOND ROW SEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTS SEAT ADJUSTMENT, A FINGER MAY BE PINCHED IN THE MOVING SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WHICH COULD CAUSE AN INJURY.
Remedy: ON EARLIER MODEL VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH JUNE 28, 2004, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INBOARD SECOND ROW SEAT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE, RIVET A PLASTIC REINFORCEMENT TO BACKSIDE OF THE EXISTING SEAT BACK COVER CARPETING, INSTALL TIE-DOWNS AND A FLANGE TO THE INBOARD SIDE SHIELD. ON VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM JUNE 29, 2004 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 26, 2005, DEALERS WILL RIVET A PLASTIC REINFORCEMENT TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE EXISTING SEAT BACK COVER CARPETING, INSTALL TIE-DOWNS AND A FLANGE ON THE INBOARD SIDE SHIELD.

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.
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.
