TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1-2 MPH APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE HE HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS TWICE. THE FAILURE ONLY HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN APPROACHING A STOP. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,500.

THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. OCCASIONALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING COMPLETELY. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE TIMES AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER ASSEMBLY INCLUDING CABLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER AND THERE ARE SEVERAL AT THIS DEALERSHIP AWAITING THE SAME FIX. IS THERE ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO LOOK INTO THE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE EXPERIENCING? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
13 complaints
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON. SUDDENLY, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN RESUMED WITHOUT THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.
Feb 09, 2011
THE HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT AND DURING THE LAST REPLACEMENT OF THE BULBS, THE COLLARS RETAINING THE WIRING HARNESS CRUMBLED IN MY HANDS. BOTH COLLARS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO A LOT OF HEAT. THEN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO REMOVE THE BULB, IT CAME BACK ON. THE WIRING SOCKET WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED PRESSURE IN ORDER TO WORK. THIS TOO, LOOKED LIKE IT WAS EXPOSED TO A LOT OF HEAT WHERE THE WIRES CONNECT TO THE SOCKETS. IS THIS A DESIGN DEFECT? *JB
Aug 15, 2007
YOUR CLOSED DEFECT INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER STATED THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE BULB THAT WAS USED UNTIL JULY OF 1999. AFTER BOTH MY HEADLIGHT BULBS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY IN THE SUMMER OF 2004, MY MECHANIC REPLACED NOT ONLY THE BULBS, BUT THE CONNECTORS TOO. GUESS WHAT? MY HEADLIGHT BULB JUST MELTED IT'S CONNECTOR AGAIN...IN 2005... USING THE "CORRECTED" BULB INDICATED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. WHY ISN'T NISSAN AND FORD AND THEIR SUPPLIER CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM? IT IS HARD TO GO ON A TRIP OR WORK AT NIGHT WHEN MY OTHER LIGHT MAY GO OUT BEFORE THE OTHER IS FIXED. IT ALSO COST ABOUT $100 TO FIX. *JB
Feb 07, 2005
THE HEAD LIGHT BULBS DID NOT WORK UNLESS THE HARNESS WAS ADJUSTED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED FREQUENTLY. *JB *SC
Jan 14, 2005
BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS JUST STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. MY MECHANIC STATED THE CONNECTORS MELTED. WHEN HE TRIED TO OBTAIN THEM FROM NISSAN, HE WAS TOLD THEY NO LONGER ARE AVAILABLE! THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE IF THEY HAVE STOPPED SELLING THE CONNECTORS. *JB

I HAD NISSAN QUEST 2000, MINIVAN, FOR FIVE YEARS. IT HAS ONLY 135K MILES. WE TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT AND KEEP IT WELL MAINTAINED. IN 01/03/2012 I WAS PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL, IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT I SMELLED SOMETHING WEIRD I THOUGHT IT FROM OUTSIDE, THIN ONE LADY WAVED TO ME THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN MY CAR. THE SMOKE WAS START COMING OUT OF THE FRONT TRUNK OF THE CAR. I LOOKED AT THE TEMPERATURE READER, IT WAS NORMAL, NO OVERHEATING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LEFT WITH MY 4 KIDS. I THOUGHT IT WILL STOP SMOKING, BUT THE SMOKE CONTINUE TO INCREASE, AND WE START SEE SOME FIRE. THE SCHOOL CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY WERE THERE IN 3 MIN. THEY WERE ABLE TO CONTROL THE FIRE BUT AFTER IT MADE A COMPLETE DAMAGE. THE OFFICER IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TOOK TOO MANY PICTURES, AND HE SAID THEY CAN'T TELL THE CAUSE OF FIRE. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THIS HAPPENS, THIS KIND OF CAR SUPPOSED TO SERVE FOR MUCH LONGER THAN THAT, IT HAS ONLY 135K MILE ON IT. MANY PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT COULD BE DUE TO MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE. I FIELD THIS COMPLAINS AND WISH THERE WILL BE INVESTIGATION IN THIS INCIDENT SO NOBODY COULD HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE OR WORST. THANKS GOD I AM SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN BUT I LOST MY VAN. *TR
Jan 04, 2012
AS I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET, MY CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. WHEN I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, THE RPM SHOT UP TO 4-5000. THE BREAKS WERE TOO HARD AND FAILED TO STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE MECHANIC FOUND THE ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM IN A FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL. EVENTUALLY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DISCONNECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY OTHER PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP BELIEVES THAT THIS WAS A FAILURE OF AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DISAGREE, SINCE THE PROBLEM ALSO CAUSED THE MOTOR MOUNTS TO CRACK AND I HAD TO REPAIR THOSE. *TR
Jun 23, 2010
GAUGES (TEMPERATURE, GAS, SPEEDOMETER AND RPM) ALL GO DEAD WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE MY CAR WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS OLD. I HAVE READ OTHER NISSAN CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2000 YEAR MODELS, HOWEVER NO RESOLUTION HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION. THE DIGITAL ODOMETER ALSO DOES NOT REGISTER MILES AS THEY ARE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A SPEEDING TICKET YET. IF I DO, NISSAN SHOULD PAY! *TR

I START DRIVING VERY SLOW OUT OF PARKING SPACE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATE BY ITSELF, REACHING HIGH SPEED WITHIN SECONDS, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL,FOOT PEDAL OR EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT SEEMS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK. MY FOOT WAS NOT IN THE ACCELERATOR BUT CAR CONTINUE INCREASING SPEED. I HAVE NO CHOICE TO COLLIDE AGAINST ANOTHER PARKED CAR AND HITTING A WALL WHERE FINALLY THE CAR STOP. EVEN WHEN THE CAR GOT TO STOP AGAINST THE WALL, THE ENGINE CONTINUE RUNNING ACCELERATED UNTIL I FINALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.

MY NISSAN QUEST(2000 MODEL) HAD PAINT CHIPS ON THE HOOD AFTER A YEAR WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHEN WE RELATED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER THE COMPANY INSPECTOR CAME OUT TO TELL US THE CAR WAS JUST REPAINTED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RECORD THAT THE CAR WAS REPAINTED! I WAS SO OUTRAGED THAT THEY HAD THE GALL TO LIE TO ME! BASICALLY THE CAR'S PAINT WAS MARRED AND IT WASN'T EVEN TEN YEARS AFTER THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND THEY STILL DID NOTHING. I WISH TO WARN OTHER NISSAN DRIVERS THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS UNRELIABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON. THAT IS ALL.*AK

CAR HESITATION AND RUNNING ROUGH. SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON AND CAR DROPPED OFF AT NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICE. DEALER CALLED AND SAID THE (6)COILS NEED REPLACING. THE CAR HAS 68000 MILES ON IT NOW. THE COILS HAD BEEN REPLACED IN 2001 WHEN THE CAR HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT. I READ THERE SERVICE BOOKLET AND NO WHERE DOES IT SAY TO HAVE THE COILS REPLACED EVERY 30,000MILES. WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE COILS AT 30,000MILES HE SAID THAT NISSAN HAD SOME DEFECTIVE COILS AND THEY DID THE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS TIME IT COSTS ME $611.65 AS THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER.

MY CAR HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS AS COULD BE SEEN. I BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT AT 72,000 MILES. I STOPPED IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AND THE CAR JUST STALLED. I SAW BLACK SMOKE AND THOUGHT I WAS OVERHEATING BUT THERE WHEN I LOOKED IT WAS NOT. I WAS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I DECIDED EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T OVERHEATING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE ENGINE. WHEN I GOT OUT UNDER THE HOOD WAS ALL ORANGE FROM FIRE. IT THEN PROCEEDED TO BLOW UP THE WHOLE INSIDE AND IT TOOK ABOUT 10-15 MINS. FOR THE FIRE DEPT. TO PUT THE ROARING FIRE OUT. I THANK GOD WE WERE NOT INSIDE. I LOST THE WHOLE ENTIRE CAR. *TR

AN F-350 RAN A STOPLIGHT AT 50 MPH AND IMPACTED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF VAN AT THE TIRE. THE VAN TURNED UPON IMPACT AND RECEIVED THE BALANCE OF THE IMPACT HEAD ON WITH CONCENTRATION TO THE LEFT QUADRANT. FURTHER SPINNING, THE VAN THEN IMPACTED THE SIDE OF THE OFFENDING VEHICLE. COMPLAINT: THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT. SHE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO CERVICAL, THORACIC, AND LUMBAR REGIONS OF BACK. SHE WAS TREATED FOR 2.5 MONTHS AND THEN RELEASED. HER HEAD HIT THE DRIVER SIDE ROOF, THANKFULLY, JUST ABOVE THE WINDOW RESULTING ONLY IN BRUISING. HER MUSCLES WERE SORE FROM HEAD TO TOE FOR ABOUT A MONTH. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THESE INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED BY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. HIGH IMPACT CRASH TO THE BUMPER AND NO PROTECTION OF AIRBAGS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT FOUND ONLINE. POSITIVE FEEDBACK: THE ENTIRE FRONT END, ENGINE, BATTERY, ETC. COMPACTED INTO A PANCAKE, BUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT HAD ONLY A SMALL BUCKLE ON THE FLOOR BOARD AT THE PEDALS. THE ENGINE WAS CRUSHED. THIS WAS A DEFINITE POSITIVE. (UNRELATED TO ACCIDENT COMPLAINT ABOVE: THE EXTERIOR HANDLES OF THE SLIDING DOORS WERE REPLACED TWICE. PRIOR TO THE LATTER REPAIR, WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE EXTERIOR SLIDING DOOR HANDLE BROKE, MY DAUGHTER'S HAND WAS CUT AND BRUISED!) *TR

ROUGH IDLE PROMPTED ME TO TAKE THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC. AFTER IT WAS HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER I WAS TOLD THE O2 SENSORS WERE TELLING MY COMPUTER TO RUN THE GAS LEAN AND THE COMPUTER WAS TELLING MY O2 SENSORS TO RUN LEANER. AT THAT TIME MY CAR HAD ONLY 52,000 MILES AND I KNOW THE O2 SENSORS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR UP TO ABOUT 80,000. NOTING WAS DONE AND THE CARE CONTINUES TO HAVE THE ROUGH IDLE AS IF IT WANTS TO DIE. I HAVE PUT ABOUT $2K INTO IT TRYING TO FIX POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND FEEL IF IT IS AN O2 SENSOR PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS UNDER 80,000 MILES IT IS A DEFECT. *NM

ONCE MY CAR'S WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE "ENGINE" SO I THOUGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A KNOCK SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND A MISFIRE IN THE #6 CYLINDER. I TOOK IT INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I AUTHORIZED THE SPARK PLUGS TO BE REPLACED AND THE BATTERY CABLE IF IT WAS NECESSARY BUT WAS TOLD THE SPARK PLUGS ARE GOOD FOR 100,000 MILES AND THE BATTERY CABLE WAS FINE EVEN THOUGH THE ORIGINAL ONE SPLIT IN TWO KILLING MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THE KNOCK SENSOR NEEDED TO BE RESET AND MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I AM STILL HAVING THE ROUGH IDLE SO I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE KNOCK SENSOR AGAIN HAD A MALFUNCTION CODE AND THE COMPUTER IS TELLING THE O2 SENSORS TO RUN LEANER AND THE O2 SENSORS ARE TELLING MY COMPUTER TO RUN LEAN. WELL NOW THERE IS A NASTY SULFUR ODOR WHICH IN THE PAST HAS MEANT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG BUT IT STILL (A YEAR LATER) RUNS ROUGH WITH THE OCCASIONAL FEELING IT WANTS TO DIE. I NEED HELP, I BELIEVE THE CATALYTIC AND THE O2 SENSORS ARE GOING BAD. *NM

IN ADDITION, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL; IT SEEMS TO STICK, UNTIL I APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE THEN IT TAKES OFF ABRUPTLY FAST, HAD THESE SAME PROBLEMS (WITH REPLACING HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS AND ACCELERATOR) WHEN I HAD MY 1993 NISSAN QUEST, BUT DISMISSED THEM. NOW I SEE A CORRELATION WITH THE 2000 QUEST I HAVE NOW. THE LOW PROFILE OF MY QUEST CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION PAN TO LEAK FLUID, BECAUSE OF A DIP IN THE ROAD. CONSTANT PROBLEMS WHEN PARKING DUE TO THE FRONT END OF MY QUEST BEING TOO LOW AND SCRAPING THE CURB. PROBLEM WITH HEATING SYSTEM IN THE REAR, ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR REGARDLESS OF SETTING IT TO HEAT. THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN MY CAR IS RUNNING (THIS WAS ALSO EXPERIENCED IN MY 1993 QUEST) ONLY COMPACT INCIDENT WAS WHEN MY TRANMISSION PAN CRACKED GOING DOWN THE STREET AND GOING DOWN A DIP IN THE ROAD (NOT A POT HOLE). OTHER THAN THESE THINGS I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASES, VERY RELIABLE BUT THESE ARE A FEW THINGS I'VE NOTICED AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER MY CONCERNS TO FURTHER BE INVESTIGATED.

SINCE APRIL 7, 2003, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR A NOISE IN THE DRIVE SYSTEM. IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AT THAT TIME HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE BEEN BACK 6 ADDITIONAL TIMES TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY CREATED NEW PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER THEY ORDER THAT THE CAR GET A NEW TUNE UP ALTHOUGH I HAD ONE IN NOVEMBER AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I HAVE HAD MY FUEL INJECTION WORK DONE 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER. THE CAR IS STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN WITH THE NOISE IN THE DRIVE SYSTEM AND AGAIN ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD IT. PLEASE SEND GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT I COULD DO TO GET RID OF THIS LEMON.

NOT A SAFETY DEFECT THAT I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT, BUT A COSMETIC I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY. WE PURCHASED THE MINIVAN IN NOV 99, BY AUG OF 2000 WE NOTICED CRACKS ON THE ROOF - THE PAINT OF THE VEHICLE'S ROOF IS NOW TOTALLY PEELED OFF AND RUSTY THE HOOD IS CRACKING TOO. SINCE AUG 2000 WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO GO ABOUT HAVING THE PAINT REPAIRED. WE HAVE GOTTEN THE RUN AROUND FROM THEN UNTIL NOW. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY RANGE SO THAT IS NOW THE REASON NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THEY CANNOT RE-PAINT IT. SEVERAL BODY SHOPS HAVE STATED AND WRITTEN THAT THE VAN DOES NOT HAVE PRIMER UNDER THE PAINT WHICH IS WHY IT IS PEELING THE WAY IT IS. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT FAIR TO ANY CONSUMER REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE MILEAGE ON A VEHICLE IS THAT A VEHICLE BOUGHT NEW AND IS LESS THAN 4 YRS OLD NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT!

SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON @37,000 MI., WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000? DEALER CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, I HAVE RETURNED TO SHOP 3 TIMES AND NOW LEFT THE VAN AT THE SHOP TO SEE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED. I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND DO NOT KNOW IF THE VAN IS SAFE OR NOT TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT TELL ME ANYTHING. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT THIS ENGINE CHECK SOON" INDICATOR CAME ON 1,000 MI LES AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED AN OXYGEN SENSOR BUT PROBLEM CONTINUED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VAN UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.*AK
