Nissan Quest

2005 Nissan Quest... Where do I start... matter of fact I'll break it down. Pros: Roomy, strong engine, gas mileage decent, double sliding doors, decent inside temp control, huge front seats, modern look in/exterior, 7 reclining seats (back seat sits 3, but seat recline as one). Cons: I've replaced the transmission, 1/1/2017 as of now 7/23/2017 that feels to be at 70%, changed front lower control arms twice on driver and three times on passenger, sway bar links, struts, 4 sets of tires, rear shocks twice, driver side rear shock seems to snap in half both times, alternator, both belts, power steering pressure line, cam sensor, passenger axle, engine and transmission mounts...

I have owned my 2006 Quest since May 2013, only issue were routine maintenance, new tires, new control arms, new inner and outer tie rod ends, new wheel bearings, new struts, break pads etc. The ABS and slip light came on approximately May 1, 2017, then at approximately 130,000 miles around May 19 we heard a humming noise when the van was shut off, happened a few times but not every time. 2 times we awoke to a dead battery, it seemed as if that may have been the cause, not sure.

We got the minivan in March of 2016. Within the first month, a door panel came off (still doesn't work) had to have the engine worked on. Since then, this car has gone downhill. Had to replace the battery, ignition coils and injectors, fuel pump, alternator, power steering, back brakes, two wheel bearings, a/c worked on, alternator, engine mounts, have had the electric system worked on. Now, mind you that's what I'VE HAD TO PAY OOP. Doesn't include the handful of things that Avirex has paid for. Do NOT buy from here. They wouldn't honor their return with 5 days policy. They had to have it looked at first before they would... which of course goes past the 5 days.

I have a 2012 Nissan Quest that is 90,000 miles. In the last month I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix it at the dealer, each time it breaks down I have to have it towed 58 miles away to the tune of $225. When driving the van just shuts off or slows to 5 mph no matter how much gas you give it. It happened on the highway where I was almost rear ended by a semi. I spent $130 on a valve, $531 on a sensor. The next day the van did the same thing, this time I got a loaner which I had to drive an hour to pick up. Then 4 days later paid $876 for a pump. I had it back for 10 days and now it's the dealer again. I will never buy a Nissan again, and want to trade it in! It's so dangerous driving and having your car just shut off, I have two small children!!! And of course Nissan isn't helping with anything!!!

I bought a Nissan Quest last week from Nissan Jenkins Lakeland. I live in Land O Lakes. I had already driven back to the dealership 2 times. First, they forgot to install my XM radio. The next day I came back to help my mother-in-law get a car from there. Since I was at the dealership I ask service to check the car since every time I will change gears the car will tremble. They came back telling me that is something with the transmission. Yes with only 500 miles on the car the transmission is broken. They didn't want to give me more details and they tried to find me a loaner. But because I have four little kids I needed an Armada or another Quest.

I bought a 2005 Nissan Quest from a used dealership 2 days ago. Since, the radio/cd/DVD is no longer working and will not even come on. I've checked fuses and had my battery checked at Autozone and it's all fine. I'm assuming it's an electrical problem Nissan has but I recommend to NEVER buy from Nissan. I will be contacting Nissan today to see if the radio can be fixed and for what costs.

Same 2007 Quest bought second owner, spend $5000 on fix engine light. After one year again transmission jerk while driving, don't like to spend single penny on it. Not happy at all.

Unhappy, felt robbed, fooled, by Nissan. Got a 2012 Used Nissan Quest from the dealer last year. Not even two years in my possession. Yet it broke down on me. Dealer advised to change the whole transmission. Complain to consumer affairs. Total waste of time. I get no helped from them either. I was fooled by the Sales Rep and of course Nissan. Never will I trust Nissan again. I would never recommend buying a Nissan car. New or Used. Three times that I bought car from them and three times that I was fooled.

Driving on the HOV Lane with a line of cars behind me, the sunroof glass flew off - I heard a loud noise, like something hitting the top of the car, then heard the wind coming in. Didn't stop till off HOV lane - then saw that the glass was gone! Amazingly, no one was hurt!

VERY UNHAPPY NISSAN OWNER. I have officially filed a complaint with Nissan USA on my 2012 Nissan Quest with 82,000 miles. My transmission has gone out and Nissan has refused to help with the replacement. I have owned 4 different Nissan vehicles and have never had the negative experience I had with them over the last week. They told me they were not in the financial position to replace it even though MANY of these CVT transmission are giving consumers a hard time.

ROBERT on Sept. 23, 2015 wrote review of 2015 Rogue A/C trouble. I had the same prob. Bought Quest 6/07. In 7/07 went on vacation. A/C quit cooling, and fan would stop. Won't return until car is off for a while. Had MANY problems since purchasing. Timing belt <40k miles. Ran out of gas w/ gauge showing 1/4 tank. Only 70k miles now. Am NOT buying another Nissan.

I bought a 2007 Nissan Quest brand new from Nissan dealer. Since then I had many problems during the years. My slinging door doesn't open anymore, driving side. The horn doesn't work, buttons on the steering wheel audio, volume buttons. Now just today I have problems with the transmission which is weird, it only has 83,000 miles which the Nissan dealer doesn't want to cover. I took my Nissan Quest to Eagle Transmission first to see what was the problem before take it to the Nissan dealer. They told me that it should be cover by Nissan because this Nissan Quest were having a lot of problem with the transmission. See what happens next.

My wife and I purchased a 2013 Nissan Quest brand new and now we are going onto our 3rd set of tires in 2 years. Vehicle has 40,000 miles on it and we keep up with our regular maintenance and tire rotation (as per manufacturer recommendations). We are being told by Nissan (Freehold, NJ) that the vehicle too "Very Heavy" and that is what we are to expect - tire life about 20,000 miles. My wife does not drive far, just carting kids to sports, etc. I now see this as a safety issue as well. This information was not disclosed to us at the time of purchase, and now we are being questioned as to the way we drive (although the service manager stated that the tires only last that long based on the vehicles construction and weight). Wow Nissan, way to go with customer service. Rest assured, no more Nissans in our future.

We own a 2004 Nissan Quest. The current mileage is 97,000, and we are the original owners. For about three years after owning this vehicle, I experienced daily buyer's regret. The vehicle ate through brake pads, rotors, and tires with a voracious appetite. If memory serves me correctly, the rotors were turned at only 17,000 miles, but thankfully under warranty. The cruise control once went out, and it was repaired under warranty. Also, the AC is very inadequate, as is the heating system. We had an issue with the alternator once. Nissan wanted an outrageous price for a new alternator. I insisted they remove the alternator and hand it over to my daughter, who drove it to a local place that rebuilds alternators and such. The cost to me was only $100!

2008 Nissan Quest - I purchased my quest in 2011. It had 29,000 miles on it. Here we are present day. 10 tires later, 3 batteries, 5 sets of brake pads, a set of rotors all the way around, new window motor and it's still garbage. I swear there is a major electrical issue because this thing works and does what it wants. One day after grocery shopping we come out and head home only for both tires on the passenger side to start burning and melt. This thing is atrocious.

I bought a new 2011 Nissan Quest. What a mistake. I am on my third transmission which cost 4100 dollars each at the dealer. I replaced the complete air conditioning system, starter, multiple sensors. I also have replaced at least 30 tires on this van in 4 years, even though I have had at least 10 alignments from the dealer and other alignment shops.

I bought a 2012 Quest with 32,000 miles on it. I loved my van!! Then it started happening... check engine light came on, dealership said it was because I was 1/2 quart low on oil so they added oil. 2-3 weeks later van started shaking and check engine light was flashing. Took to a place very close to me because I was afraid to drive it. Same code as before. Had to have it towed to dealership more than 40 miles away. The first thing they told me when they called was I had too much oil in the van. They told me I needed a sensor and it would be in the next day. Called Consumer Affairs to complain. Somehow it took over a week to fix and they did not give me a rental until I talked to Consumer Affairs.

I purchased a 2006 Nissan Quest; the day I picked it up the sliding door driver's side weather stripping coming off. They fixed it. It keeps coming off. I finally after 9 years had to Gorilla glue it on. Both panels that cover the slider for the doors blew off, I finally gorilla Glued it on. The panel by the passenger front door came off and I gorilla glued it on. The weather strip on driver's door came off and I gorilla glued it back on. Interior lights fall down, A/C vents fall down from the ceiling. Driver's visor falls off and hangs blocking the driver's view of the road.

My 2004 Nissan Quest almost got me killed. The power seized while driving and on 2 occasions I was almost killed by a trailer. I've spent so much on it it doesn't make sense anymore. The odometer reading is not visible anymore so I don't even know the mileage on my car. And from my understanding this is a common problem with their 04, 05 and 06 but Nissan couldn't care less.

I bought the 04 Quest new. I have numerous problems. I also bought a 04 Ford the same year. The clear coat has come off the hood, the top and starting on the sides. The truck I bought new the same month and year still looks wonderful. The Quest I am embarrassed to drive. I think Nissan should be responsible for the crappy paint they put on my expensive vehicle. I also have numerous other problems. Leaking from the sunroof or sky view. I get rained on during heavy down pours. The power steering rack has gone bad, the van shuts off while driving, the bearings are bad and the rotors are warped. I paid $35,000.00 for this junk that Nissan has put out.

We purchased our 2012 Nissan Quest new in March 2012. We are currently on our 3rd set of tires with only 45,000 miles on the van. As someone with 3 years of tire shop experience in the past, I know this to be completely unacceptable. The tires have always been rotated regularly and kept at consistent air pressure. Now, at 45,000 miles, the power steering pump failed while my wife was driving. After having it diagnosed at our local Nissan dealer, we were told the pump price alone was $2000, not including tax or labor.

We purchased our 2005 Nissan Quest from friends in 2009. Initially the car worked well. However bit by bit, the electrical system demonstrated issue after issue. I took the car for a check up to the dealer - who gave ME a hard time that the odometer/gas/etc display wasn't legible as parts don't accurately display - so i.e. you don't know if it's a 0 or an 8 or a 6. The gas gauge which should be displaying a full tank looks like there is only a quarter tank because the lines don't display - but this can also change the next time you start the car. Strange that they seemed to think I was to blame - I have never gotten a paycheck from Nissan much less designed the working system of any car.

2005 Quest was a lemon. Purchased it from dealer, 2nd owner, checked out clean. We had always owned Nissan and were very happy. Now we will NEVER buy another. Things that should never break on a car broke (sun visor fell off, the lock on driver door fell off, the odometer & gas level display). The hatch only opens automatically when its 80 or less outside. Tire sensors go off when tire pressure is fine. Timing chain went out by 60k miles. That was no picnic let me tell ya! Cam sensors, motor mounts, interior electrical is entirely out. There are other things also. It's a lemon. It jerks really hard between gears. The transmission checks out. They told us it was the motor mounts. We had all 4 replaced, they were all bad. Didn't fix the problem. They said it was cam sensors, we replaced both. Still jerks. We are getting ready to trade it in for 1500. Makes me sick!

We too had a Nissan and our windows would go down on their own sporadically. No fix mentioned by repair. We also had a major electrical problem in that the lights inside all went out without fuse being the problem... then our dashboard could not display miles... very hard to use in a trade.

I bought this 2007 Nissan Quest new. I should have known there would be issues when the brake pads were nearly metal on metal at 20,000 miles. The van drove fine until just after the 36,000 mile warranty expired. After that, the following problems came up: Both sun visors broke. The arm supports on the front seats fell off. The sliding doors stick shut at temps under 20 degrees. The gas gauge completely stopped working. The check engine light is on due to the gas gauge problem. The driver's side door lock intermittently doesn't work. The rear hatch lock intermittently doesn't work. Both headlight covers fogged up and have to be polished regularly to stay clear. The front struts went out. The fuel pump was replaced. It sounds like the front left wheel bearing is noisy, still have to replace.

I was headed home from work when I heard a loud bang and suddenly my car went screeching down the road. When I finally came to a stop, I got out of my car to see what was the matter (very shaken). I was thinking, "something had happen to my breaks!" In fact, something more serious was wrong. My front passenger wheel had snapped off of the control arm. I have been told that it was snapped off at the weld. I am currently waiting to hear back from Nissan.

Seen lots of horrible reviews so I thought I would add the horrible experience I have been having. I bought a 2004 Nissan Quest brand new. Few months down the road the sliding doors started rattling. Took car back to Nissan of East Providence (now Tasca of Nissan) and they could not figure out the problem. Changed bunch of parts, still made the same noise. Nissan claimed it was manufacturer defect. Very upsetting when you spend $30,000 on a new car and get this type of service. Very upset with the information Nissan provides so I decide to trade the car in for a 2007 Nissan Quest. First year everything went fine until the same problem started happening with the second quest. Luckily it was a lease so I wasn't going to be stuck with this problem.

We bought a 2008 Quest new. Since then we have had 5 batteries and tonight our newest one died. There is no reason these batteries should be dying. No sitting for hours with the lights or radio on, no leaving doors open for lights to kill the battery. It will be fine and then from out of nowhere the battery will be dead leaving my wife and children stranded wherever they are. The dealership says "it's a Florida problem - because of the heat". How can they possibly be serious? I drive a 2003 Grand Am and am on my 2nd battery. I can't help but wonder if this is a common issue but don't really see anyone mentioning this problem so I suppose it may be an isolated incident. I am very angry about this, however, and I am going to keep digging into this issue.

Bought new 2013 and front tires are bald on outside edges after only 5,000 miles. Had van aligned and they said it was perfectly aligned and that I should take it to the dealer to address reason for uneven wear. Took to dealer, Service Manager said he's seen it before on the Quests and recommended asking Nissan Consumer Affairs to cover the cost of new tires. Now waiting to hear back from consumer affairs. This is my 4th van (2xOdyssey, 1xSienna) and I've never seen anything like this. They're trying to blame it on the tires saying that the dealer didn't find anything wrong with the van. Even if they cover it, I'm concerned that I'll be replacing tires every year just to pass inspection.

I do believe the reason the Bridgestone tires are having to be replaced so soon is because they are a non warranty tire. Nissan would not make it right, yet when I switched dealers they were able to get me all 4 new tires price matched from Discount Tire. I go to the dealer and have them rotated. So far, better wear. It has nothing to do with the alignment.
