2004 Nissan Quest

IN DECEMBER OF 2006 WE PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN QUEST SE. THE FIRST YEAR WAS NOT ENTIRELY TROUBLE FREE, THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULD SELF ADJUST WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER FIXED IT NO CHARGE. THE IN DECEMBER OF 07 THE TRANS WENT OUT, AGAIN THE DEALER COVERED IT AT NO CHARGE, GAVE US A LOANER AND WERE DONE WITHIN A WEEK. EXCEPT FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF NOT HAVING OUR VAN WE WERE FINE UNTIL NOW!!! IN JUNE OF 08 WE WERE GOING FOR A SUNDAY DRIVE AND THE VAN JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. NOTHING WOULD WORK NOTHING, NO POWER ANYWHERE. WE CALLED ROAD SIDE AND ALL THEY COULD DO WAS TOW US TO AL PIEMONTE NISSAN IN MELROSE PARK, IL. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, THE DEALER CALLS AND TELLS US THE ECU IS BURNT OUT, AND HAS SOME CORROSION. IT'S COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO NO NEED TO FAR RIGHT!!! A WEEK LATER WE FINALLY GET A LOANER, OK NOT TOO BAD. TWO MONTHS GO BY AND WE FINALLY HAVE WORD THAT WE HAVE A DATE WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE!!!!! THE PART GETS INSTALLED BUT THE VAN RUNS LIKE CRAP "OMG YOU MEAN THEY ACTUALLY TESTED IT"!!!! THEY NOW ARE REPLACING A CRACKED DISTRIBUTOR, GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW THAT HAPPENED!!!! THE DEALR DOES NOT CHARGE US FOR THAT, BUT THE VAN STILL RUNS LIKE CRAP SO NOW THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THREE OF THE 6 COILS AND WELL WE HAD TO PAY OVER $800 BUCKS FOR THAT. TOTALLY NOT EXPECTING THAT WE HAD TO CHARGE IT, PUTTING US IN THE HOLE EVEN DEEPER. YOU KNOW WE HAVEN'T SPENT ALOT OF $ ON THIS CAR BUT FOR A 4 YEAR OLD CAR IT SURE HAS HAD ALOT OF MAJOR COMPONENTS REPLACED. THE THE FREAKING DEALER DOESN'T TEST THE CAR, SO WE LEAVE AND THE REMOTES, DOORS, SUNROOF, WINDOWS DON'T WORK. THE CENTER COUNSIL IS FALLING APART AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN CLEAN THE '!@#$% CAR. I TAKE IT BACK, RIP THE MANAGER A NEW ONE, HE GIVES ME A LOANER AGAIN AND I'M BACK THE NEXT DAY TO PICK UP MY VAN, NOW THEY CLEAN IT. IT'S BEEN A FEW WEEKS NOW AND THE VAN IS FINE BUT I OFTEN THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE!!!!! *TR

I AM AN OWNER OF A NISSAN QUEST WHICH WAS PURCHASED ONLY 4 YEARS AGO. AT 100, 000 MILES A PORTION OF THE MAIN COMPUTER IS GONE, LEAVING THE CAR INOPERABLE. THE ENTIRE CASING WAS CORRODED IMPAIRING THE COMPUTER. A PART WAS ORDERED BY A NISSAN DEALER THROUGH MY MECHANIC.. INITIALLY WE WERE TOLD THE PART WOULD ARRIVE IN EARLY JUNE (THE ORIGINAL WAS ORDERED ABOUT MAY 23RD 2008) WE WERE THEN TOLD A FEW MORE DAYS...AND THEN JUNE 10TH, THE LATEST BEING JUNE 17TH ARRIVING AT THE MECHANIC. ON THE 19TH I CALLED NISSAN VILLAGE AND WAS TOLD THE PART WOULD ARRIVE JULY 10TH. AND THEY STILL CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS. I AM A MOM OF THREE KIDS, AGES 5, 4, AND 7 MONTHS. I WORK FULL TIME AND HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH NOTHING TO DRIVE. WE HAD A RENTAL FOR 18 DAYS AT A COST OF 850 UNTIL I NO LONGER COULD AFFORD IT. SINCE THIS MATTER, I HAVE DEALT WITH NISSAN USA, SEVERAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS, AND NOT ONE PERSON AT NISSAN, ATTEMPTED TO SHARE WITH MY WHY A 37,000 DOLLAR CAR AFTER 4 YEARS IS INOPERABLE, BUT EVEN WORSE WHY ITS TAKEN 2 MONTHS TO GET A PART IN. IT IS TRULY UNHEARD OF- PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE JUST AMAZED. I REALLY JUST WANT ANSWERS- IS THIS A PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED? CORROSION AFTER 4 YEARS NORMAL? A PART MORE THAN 2 MONTHS??? THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. YOUR TIME AND EFFORT WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED. *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES DURING THE STALLING INCIDENT. THE IGNITION COIL HAD BLISTERED SENDING A SIGNAL BACK TO THE ECM UNIT WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE 34,643

BETWEEN THE DATES OF FEB 10-17, 2008; MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST MINIVAN BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE TCS, SLIP, AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH AND A HUMMING NOISE WAS COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP (WERE I PURCHASED IT FROM), AND AS I PULLED INTO THE LOT THE LIGHTS WENT OFF (FEB 28). THE SERVICE REP. TOLD ME THE INFORMATION SHOULD BE STORED IN MY VAN'S COMPUTER SYSTEM. I PAID $97.40 FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO HOOK MY CAR UP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT ABS SYSTEM PUMP AND MODULE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1790. THE SERVICE REP ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHAT EVER WAS CAUSING THE HUMMING NOISE WOULD BE REPAIRED. ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX, BECAUSE ON MY WAY BACK HOME THE NOISE STARTED AGAIN. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONAL BUT MY ABS UNIT DID NOT AFFECT MY NORMAL BRAKES. UNTIL I COULD HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE, AND WITH NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY VAN. I CALLED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASK IF THERE WAS ANYWAY FOR THEM TO DISCONNECT THE ABS SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS CONTINUING TO DRAIN MY BATTERY. AND I WAS TOLD NO, THE ONLY WAY WAS TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE. ON MARCH 8, I PART MY VAN AND THREE HOURS LATER I RETURNED TO MY VAN AND IT WOULD NOT START. SO IT HAD TO HAVE MY CAR JUMP STARTED AND EVER SINCE THEN HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THE TERMINALS FROM THE BATTERY WHEN I AM NOT USING THE VAN. ON FEB 14, SEVERAL OTHER ISSUE CAME ABOUT: 1. SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING 2. ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING 3. AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING SO ONCE I PULLED OVER, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD CONTINOUSLY START AND STOP. SO I MADE THE DECISION TO LEAVE THE VAN WHERE IT WAS PARKED. TWO DAYS LATER I RETURNED TO FIND OUT THAT THE VAN HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE THE ON SATURDAY FEB. 15. SO WHAT AM I TO DO.........? *TR UPDATED
