POWER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT STOP FORWARD MOTION UNLESS OBJECT IS WITHIN A VERY SMALL SAFETY ZONE APPROXIMATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOOR. ALSO, GREAT FORCE IS REQUIRED TO STOP FORWARD MOTION (ADULT MALE, BOTH HANDS PULLING HARD). FINALLY, WITH CHILD LOCK 'ON', POWER BUTTON BY DOOR WILL STILL ALLOW CHILD TO CLOSE THE DOOR FROM INSIDE AND CRUSH WHATEVER HE STICKS OUT. NISSAN MECHANIC ASSURED ME THIS IS BY DESIGN AND CANNOT BE CHANGED. *AK

I BOUGHT THIS 2004 NISSAN QUEST SE ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2003 AND TOOK A ROAD TRIP VISIT MY DAUGHTER 1300 MILES AWAY FORM MY HOME. DURING THE TRIP, WE NOTICED AIR INFILTRATION FROM THE PASSENGERS DOOR AND THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR. IN ADDITION TO THE AIR LEAKS, THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR AND THE REAR HATCH RATTLED, SOMETIMES CONSTANTLY AND OTHER TIMES WHEN PASSING OVER IRREGULARITIES IN THE PAVEMENT. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED. THIS SINCE THESE ARE POWER DOORS I WOULD EXPECT THAT THERE IS A POSITIVE LATCH UPON CLOSING, HOWEVER I WAS ASKED IF I STOPPED AND CYCLED THE DOOR. I HAVE FOUND THE SIDE DOORS AND REAR HATCH TO BE NOT LATCHED TIGHTLY ON AT LEAST SIX OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, THE POWER SLIDING DOORS DO NOT ALWAYS OPEN FROM COMMANDS TO THE DOOR HANDLE. ON ONE VISIT, THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASK, OTHER PARTS ON REAR LIFT GATE AND ADJUSTED THE REAR LATCH, AND IT STILL RATTLES. I FOUND THE UPPER TAILGATE STOPLIGHT TO ALSO HAVE LOOSE PARTS INSIDE IT (HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET). THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR VENT WINDOWS WERE RATTLING AND FOUND TO BE LOOSE AT THE HINGES. BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE FOUND TO HAVE LOOSE STRUCTURAL PARTS INTERNALLY. LEFT ONE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH ONE THAT DON'T RATTLE. HOWEVER, A LOOK AT THE NEW QUESTS ON THE DEALERS LOT FOUND MOST TO ALL TAILLIGHTS RATTLED. DURING THE TRIP THE VAN WAS HARD TO CONTROL AND DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHEN I GOT TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED, A WEEK LATER THEY SUPPOSEDLY ALIGNED IT, BUT IT WAS STILL NOTICEABLE. IN DECEMBER AT MY HOME I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS GOOD BUT THE STEERING WAS ABOUT 4 INCHES COCKEYED. WHICH WAS FIXED AT AT A LATER VISIT. I HAVE OWNED TWO NISSAN VEHICLES AT A TIME FOR THE MORE THAN THE LAST DECADE AND THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT MY EXPERIENCES WITH THOSE VEHICLES.
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH A FOLDING THIRD ROW REAR SEAT, WHEN THE THIRD ROW SEAT IS RAISED FROM ITS STOWED POSITION, IT ENGAGES STRIKER BRACKETS, ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE SEAT CUSHION. THE FOLD-AWAY STRIKER LOOP IS WELDED TO A MOUNTING BRACKET. THE STRIKER MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM ITS MOUNTING BRACKET DUE TO A BROKEN WELD AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE BRACKET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE THIRD ROW SEAT STRIKER WELD FAILS, THE STRIKER COULD SEPARATE FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET. STRIKER SEPARATION COULD AFFECT THE RISK OF INJURY IN CERTAIN TYPES OF CRASHES.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE THIRD ROW SEAT STRIKER BRACKETS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 19, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS, THERE IS A SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM THAT CONTAINS EXPOSED MOVING COMPONENTS LOCATED AT THE REAR INSIDE EDGE OF THE SECOND ROW SEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTS SEAT ADJUSTMENT, A FINGER MAY BE PINCHED IN THE MOVING SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WHICH COULD CAUSE AN INJURY.
Remedy: ON EARLIER MODEL VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH JUNE 28, 2004, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INBOARD SECOND ROW SEAT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE, RIVET A PLASTIC REINFORCEMENT TO BACKSIDE OF THE EXISTING SEAT BACK COVER CARPETING, INSTALL TIE-DOWNS AND A FLANGE TO THE INBOARD SIDE SHIELD. ON VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM JUNE 29, 2004 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 26, 2005, DEALERS WILL RIVET A PLASTIC REINFORCEMENT TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE EXISTING SEAT BACK COVER CARPETING, INSTALL TIE-DOWNS AND A FLANGE ON THE INBOARD SIDE SHIELD. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 19, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER SLIDING DOOR(S), AT AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE BELOW APPROXIMATELY 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE ACTUATOR FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR(S) MAY EXPERIENCE BINDING DUE TO AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION CONDITION. IN ORDER TO OPEN, CLOSE OR REVERSE A POWER SLIDING DOOR, THE SHIFT SELECTOR LEVER MUST BE IN "PARK." IF THE ACTUATOR IS EXPERIENCING BINDING AND THE DRIVER SHIFTS THE VEHICLE OUT OF "PARK" WHILE A POWER SLIDING DOOR IS STILL CLOSING, THE DOOR LATCHES MAY NOT ENGAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN RESULT IN THE DOOR COMING OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY UPON RAPID ACCELERATION, AND AN OCCUPANT COULD FALL OUT OF THE DOOR AND BE INJURED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACTUATOR FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR(S). OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE ADVANCED AIR BAG REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THE AIR BAG FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS TO BE TURNED OFF (SO THAT IT DOES NOT INFLATE) WHEN CERTAIN OCCUPANTS, SUCH AS SMALL CHILDREN, ARE IN THE FRONT SEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS REDUCES THE RISK OF SUCH OCCUPANTS BEING UNJURED BY AN INFLATING AIR BAG IN A COLLISION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION/SENSOR ASSEMBLY. IF THE SEAT CUSHION/SENSOR IS FOUND TO BE OPERATING IMPROPERLY, THE SEAT WILL BE REMOVED AND RECALIBRATED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
