2006 Nissan Quest

I WAS EXPERIENCING BRAKE ROTOR SHIMMY ON AN 06 QUEST. WENT TO DEALER NEAR WHERE I LIVE NOW. BOUGHT VEHICLE IN TX- NEW- . CHECKED WITH DEALER AND SAID I WANTED MY WARRANTY RIGHTS UPHELD TO REPLACE 2 FRONT ROTORS, WHICH ARE BEGINNING TO SHIMMY BADLY, CREATING A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME . DEALER SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 39 DOLLARS FOR WEST HILLS NISSAN NISSAN TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. DEALER ALSO PROCEEDED TO EXPLAIN ALL THE REASON WHY THEY MAY NOT HONOR MY WARRANTY. DEALERS FIRST QUESTION WAS DID I BUY THE VEHICLE THERE, WHICH STARTED THE 20 POSSIBILITIES SCENARIO. I LEFT THE DEALER, ANGRY AND EXPRESSED IT TO THEM. COMPLAINT FILED WITH NISSAN WHO SEEMS TO HAVE MUCH OF THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MANILLA OR INDIA, VERY POOR COMMUNICATION WITH THEM ALSO. *JB

NISSAN 2006 QUEST WEAK FRONT DOOR HINGES. THE VAN IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD AND THE DOOR CATCHES WHEN TRYING TO EXIT VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THOSE ARE "LIGHT HINGES" AND THEY BEEN IN PRODUCTION SINCE 2003 AND THEY, "NISSAN", HASN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THEM. THEY SILICONED AND GREASED DOOR HINGES AND THE RUBBER DOOR SEAL AND SAID THAT'S WHAT A PERSON NEEDS TO DO. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE EVENT AND ELDERLY OR SMALL PERSON NEEDS TO EXIT VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE TO BUMP IT PRETTY GOOD WITH MY SHOULDER TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THE SILICONE AND GREASE WORKS FOR NOW BUT I CAN SEE HINGE PINS, LATCHING MECHANISMS, AND DOOR SEALS WEARING OUT QUICKLY. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A SMALL OBJECT AND PUNCTURED THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER STATED THAT AN IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE NISSAN MURANO ,AND WAS REMEDIED BY PLACING A SHIELD ON THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND REPLACED THE FUEL TANK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 3,500. *AK

THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOORS CLOSE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE AND AN INADEQUATE SAFETY MECHANISM. AS A GROWN ADULT THEY CAN PUSH ME OVER BEFORE THE ACTUALLY REVERSE DIRECTIONS. TODAY, MY 18 MONTH OLD SON GOT HIS THUMB CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AND IT DID NOT RELEASE. HE THUMB WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED, BUT FORTUNATELY WE THINK IT IS NOT BROKEN. I WAS JUST SHOCKED THAT A VEHICLE DESIGNED FOR FAMILY TOOK SO LITTLE CONSIDERATION WITH REGARDS TO THE OPERATION OF THE DOORS. THANK, MIKE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, IT WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT CHARGED THE BATTERY, AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A LOOSE BATTERY CABLE. AFTERWARDS, THERE WAS A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE FOLLOWED BY AN ELECTRICAL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO AWAIT FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. THE SECOND TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD A BAG HAD ATTACHED ITSELF TO THE MOTOR, BUT OFFERED NO REASON AS TO WHY THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTTING OFF. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF, THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SMELL. UPDATED 12/1/06. *JB
