2008 Nissan Quest

AFTER ONLY ABOUT 59000 MILES MY NISSAN QUEST 2008 3.5L IS MAKING LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. I AM INFORMED BY THE NISSAN DEALER WERE IT IS BEING REPAIRED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY NISSAN VEHICLES AND AND OFFICIAL RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF ENGINES. SEE NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN FROM DEC. 14. 2009 WITH CLASSIFICATION: EM07-001C AND REFERENCE: NTB07-042C ABOUT THIS VERY WELL KNOW ISSUE FOR ALL NISSAN MAXIMA, ALTIMA, QUEST BUZZING / WHINING NOISE FROM TIMING CHAIN AREA. *TR

TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND WHILE DRIVING NOTICED THE CAR START TO SMOKE. TWO DAYS LATER TRIED TURNING ON AGAIN AND NO SMOKE BUT SOUNDS LIKE A BELT WAS RUBBING TOGETHER. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND PART #92463-5Z000 PIPEEASSY AND 92471-ZE60A PIPEASSY REAR WERE CORRODED. CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS HOLDS ANTIFREEZE SHOULDN'T THIS PART WHICH IS THE HOSE BE RUST RESISTANT? THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM BUT I WAS TOLD WELL IT'S CORRODED.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SMOKE WOULD RISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION WITHIN THE AIR CONDITIONER LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSITANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 46,500.

THIS IS FOR A 2008 NISSAN QUEST, BUT THE COMPLAIN IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING HOME, AND AS SOON AS I ENTER THE GARAGE AND GET OFF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS. I KNEE DOWN AND SAW THAT THERE IS A STREAM OF LIQUID COMING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, IMMEDIATELY, I PUT THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE AND PARK IN THE STREET INSTEAD, CALL NISSAN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HELP TO CALL 911 TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT COME OUT AND PUT A TEMP FIX TO STOP THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOW TO CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. BASED ON WHAT I READ FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK, IN THE EVENT THAT A VEHICLE FRONT TIRE RUNS OVER A SMALL, SHARP OBJECT IN THE ROAD, CATCHES IT AND PROPELS IT TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT MAY STRIKE AND PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK, AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN. THE FUEL TANK IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS EXPOSE OUTSIDE WITHOUT ANY SHIELD PROTECTION FROM THE FRONT WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE NISSAN MURANO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN RECALL TO PUT A SHIELD FOR MURANO AND NOT THE QUEST. FOR NOW, NISSAN HAS NOT AGREED YET TO COVER THE DAMAGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, THE RIGHT SIDE RAIL COVER FELL OFF DURING THE IMPACT FROM DRIVING OVER A POT HOLE. IT WAS DETERMINED BY MY OWN REPAIR FACILITY THAT IT WAS MISSING THE ONLY SCREW WHICH HOLDS THE RAIL COVER, ALONG WITH 5-6 PRONGS. THIS SCREW BELONGS ON A METAL PIECE LOCATED BEHIND THE TAIL LIGHT. THE LOST RAIL COVER WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SCREW. IF SCREW WAS THERE, PART WOULD OF HUNG ON. IF RAIL COVER HAD THE SCREW, ON HIGH SPEED, IT WOULD OF BENT THE METAL PART INSIDE AND MOST LIKELY BROKEN THE TAIL LIGHT. THE RAIL COVER PART THAT FELL COULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES, HURT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OR PEDESTRIANS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN OPENING THE DOORS ON THE VEHICLE SHE WOULD FEEL AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,120 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN TO AVOID BLACK ICE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN SWERVING. IT EVENTUALLY ROLLED OVER TWO TIMES AND ENDED UP IN A RAVINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE CONTACT AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT; THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 30-35 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF HIM STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, CAUSING MINOR INJURIES TO THE CONTACTS HANDS AND FACE. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. HE ALSO PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V072000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: PEDALS AND LINKAGES) AND STATED THAT THE CRASH WAS CAUSED BY THE RECALL DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,142 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,600. UPDATED 05/11/10 *LJ

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. I HAD LIFT THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WITH A REMOTE TO QUICKLY GRAB SOMETHING FROM THE TRUNK AS I WAS IN A HURRY. THE HATCHBACK CAME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HAND. THE BAG I WAS GRABBING GOT CAUGHT IN BETWEEN AND KEPT ME FROM SEVERING MY HAND. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN WHO DID NOT SEEM TO BE BOTHERED THE LEAST BY THIS. THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE A MOTOR THAT CONTROLS THE TRUNK. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY DEVICE TO REVERSE THE DOOR AND KEEP IT FROM CLOSING SO RAPIDLY. I WON'T LET MY 12 YEAR SON TOUCH THE DOOR ANYMORE. *TR
