I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN QUEST IN MAY 2004. HAD ISSUES WITH PERSISTENT RATTLES IN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT IN AUG 2004 FOR NISSAN'S "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INITIATIVE" WHICH CORRESPONDS TO TSB NTB04-053. THIS CAMPAIGN WAS TO INSTALL A DOOR RATTLE KIT FIX IN ADDITION TO 2 OTHER ISSUES. AS A RESULT OF THE DOOR RATTLE KIT FIX INSTALLATION, BOTH OF MY SLIDING DOORS NOW RATTLE LOUDER THAN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DID TO BEGIN WITH. *AK
THE 2004 QUEST HAS LESS THAN 4000 MILES AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHIMMY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTOR IS WARPED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *JB

IT STALLED OUT TWICE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE FUEL INJECTOR, FUEL PUMP AND SOME KIND OF GASKET. THEY ALSO ORDERED US A NEW VEHICLE AND WAS VERY COOPERATIVE AND HELPFUL. I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY THE NEXT 10 YEARS IF MY CAR WAS GOING TO BREAK DOWN WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN. THIS IS NOT MY EXPECTATION OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.*AK

WE PURCHASED OUR 2004 NISSAN QUEST ON OCTOBER 6TH, 2003. THIS WAS A VEHICLE THAT WE WANTED TO GET FOR OUR FAMILY AFTER REVIEWING SAFETY INFORMATION ETC. NOT EVEN TWO WEEKS AFTER WE HAD FINALIZED THE SALE, TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS ALL OVER A PARKING LOT DUE TO A PLASTIC CLAMP NOT BEING REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP. OUR VAN WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER FOR EVERYTHING TO BE CHECKED OUT. OUR SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND WE ARE VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY INJURIES TO REPORT. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WITH THE ACCELERATOR "FLOORED" OUR VAN WOULD NOT GO OVER 55 MPH. ON A MAIN HIGHWAY THIS IS NOT SAFE DUE TO OTHER DRIVERS DOING ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT OR WELL ABOVE. WE TRIED TO TAKE IT TO OUR DEALERSHIP BUT WITH IT BEING PAST BUSINESS HOURS THERE WAS NO WAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MEET WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IN LESS THAN A YEAR, WE ARE TAKING IT IN AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT WORKED ON. LUCKILY OUR DEALERSHIP HAS GONE ABOVE WHAT WE ASKED AND HAS DONE THEIR BEST TO WORK WITH US, BUT WITHOUT OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND THIS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED THERE IS LITTLE THAT THEY CAN DO TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT. THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT EVER AND THIS IS THE MOST TIMES THAT WE HAVE TAKEN IN A CAR FOR PROBLEMS IN SUCH LITTLE TIME. WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN, WE THOUGHT THAT THIS VAN WOULD BE THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND SAFE VEHICLE THAT WE COULD AFFORD FOR OUR FAMILY, BUT WE ARE SADLY LEARNING THAT THERE ARE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AND TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. IT WOULD BE DISAPPOINTING AND SAD TO SEE IF THIS OCCURRENCE IS WHAT IT TAKES FOR NISSAN TO INVESTIGATE SUCH COMPLAINTS. *JB

Official recalls
405V480000 · Seats:mid/rear Assembly
Oct 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

04V186000 · Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch
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.
