1999 Nissan Quest

THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS BEGINNING WITH THE BRAKES HAVING TO BE CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES; ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY MY PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED UP RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CLOSE THE DOOR. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WOULD GET IN AND START THE CAR, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD GO, THE HORN WOULD BLOW AND AND THE DOORS WOULD LOCK; THERE WAS A TERRIBLE BANGING SOUND COMING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, BUT AFTER 3 STOPS IN THE SHOP WAS IDENTIFIED AS A BOLT BEING LOOSE IN THE STEARING COLUMN, MY GAS PEDAL STICKS AND WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN RELEASE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD; THE REAR BULBS ALL BLEW OUT IN THE REAR OF THE VAN AND MELTED THE ENCASING SURROUNDING THE BULBS; DURING A RAIN STORM THE WINDOWS WHERE IN THE DOWN POSITION AND WOULD NOT GO UP; THE VEHICLE HAD TO GO INTO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO PULL THEM UP; WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO LOCK THE DOORS THE LOCKS MAKE A SOUND AS IF THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK OR UNLOCK BUT DO NOT, IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR WHETHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE...ULTIMATELY THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A SINCERE DISAPPOINTMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE RETURNED TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER MY DEALER HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS AND THE NEW DEALER WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THE VEHICLE BUT NISSAN'S RESPONSE IS TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. NISSAN IS NOT PAYING FOR A LOANER CAR AND I CAN'T CONTINUE TO TAKE TIME FROM WORK TO BABYSIT A VEHICLE MORE THAN MY CHILDREN...THIS WILL BE THE LAST NISSAN I OWN. I ALMOST DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANOTHER UNSUSPECTED INDIVIDUAL TO PURCHASE THIS NIGHTMARE ON WHEELS*AK

BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN CONSUMER FIRST PURCHASED VEHICLE HE HAD PROBLEMS. CONSUEMR TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. AND THEN 14,000 MILES LATER, BRAKES WENT OUT . DEALER DID NOT HAVE A REMEDY. *AK COMPLETE BRAKE JOB WAS DONE TWICE AT 14000 MILES INTERVAL. THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE WERE NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AS WELL AS THE EXPENSES. *YH

WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVATED, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED OR CANCEL SWITCH IS PUSHED. IF I HAVE CRUISE SET AT 65 AND APPROACH AND INTERSECTION OR OBJECT IN THE ROAD OR LOWER SPEED ZONE, AND APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THEN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO CONTINUE AT A LOWER SPEED (45), THE ACCELERATOR WILL GO DOWN ON ITS OWN AND THE VAN WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN TILL IT HITS THE 65 MPH THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SET ON THE CRUISE. THIS OCCURED 3 OUT OF THE LAST 5 TIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS USED. I HAD TO QUICLY APPLY BRAKES AGAIN WHEN I NOTICED THIS HAPPENING TO AVOID CHILD IN ROAD AND THE BACK PASSENGER WAS INJURED SLIGHTLY ON THE HEAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN WHO REPLIED THAT IT MAY NOT BE ON WARRANTY, BUT WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DISCUSSED, I HAD TO PAY THE 50 DOLLAR COPAY ON A 54 DOLLAR REPAIR. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTOL SINCE BEING SERVICED.*AK
