TEN MIN UTES LATER THE CAR ALARM SOUNDED FOR 15 MINUTES NISSAN IS CLAIMING FROM THE INSPECTION THAT I WAS IN A MODERATE TO SEVERE COLLISION. THIS IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE. MY DAUGHTERS CAN ATTEST TO THIS. THERE ARE SCRAPS UNDER MY CAR FROM THE LONG GRAVEL DRIVEWAY THAT I USE TO DRIVE TO A HORSE FARM. THEY ARE USING THESE SCRAPS AS EVIDENCE OF A COLLISION. THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE AIRBAG OR SEATBELT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL 2004 QUEST OWNERS.*AK

ON ARCH 15 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SHE TURNED FROM ONE ROAD ON TO ANOTHER AND HEARD A CLUNG. AS SHE DROVE ON SHE FELT THE ENGINE WAS WORKING HARD AND HEARD LOUD UNUSUAL NOISES. LOOKING DOWN, SHE SAW THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT HAD MOVED FROM DRIVE TO LOW WITHOUT HUMAN HELP. OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLUGGISH, AND WAS REPORTED IN PERSON TO THE DEALER THAT SATURDAY ON MARCH 17. I ASKED A REPRESENTATIVE TO COME AND DRIVE THE VAN ON THE SPOT TO EXPERIENCE THE SLUGGISHNESS, THE REPRESENTATIVE DECLINED. THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED SLUGGISH THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND, UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION ON MARCH 19. DURING MARCH 19 & 20 THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.*AK

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN QUEST WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 38,000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CONTROLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE UNSAFE BECAUSE THEY WERE HARD TO USE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE CONTACT WOULD TRY TO USE THE DEFROSTER IT WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION ON THE DASHBOARD AND CAUSED A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. SHE HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS UNTIL SHE CAME TO A STOP TO TURN ON THE DEFROSTER. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER WHICH WAS LOCATED ON THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE DRIVER STATED THAT THE ONLY THING THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE DASHBOARD WITH ALL THE CONTROLS IN THE CENTER WAS A STORAGE COMPARTMENT WHICH WAS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. NISSAN HAS SINCE FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER MODELS. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE RECALL SOLUTION FOR THE MIDDLE SEAT LATCH WAS A BAD SOLUTION BECAUSE THEY ONLY USED FOUR PLASTIC PEGS AND A PIECE OF CLOTH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.*AK THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE OLDER DESIGNS SHE BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS TOO DIFFICULT TO OPERATE SAFELY WHILE DRIVING. UPDATE 4/25/07*TR

Official recalls
4Oct 17, 2005
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.
Oct 13, 2005
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.

Apr 16, 2004
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.
Mar 1, 2004
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.
