(1) A SCREW FELL OUT WHEN I OPENED THE SUNGLASS HOLDER. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT CAME FROM AT THE TIME. (2) THE MAPLIGHT ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES THE SUNROOF CONTROLS, THE TWO POWER SLIDING DOOR CONTROLS, AND THE REAR HATCH CONTROL, FELL FROM THE ROOF WHILE CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS. THE MAPLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS HANGING IN MIDAIR BY THE WIRES, SWINGING WILDLY, AND BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD AS I WAS CROSSING THE RAILROAD TRACKS. UPON EXAMINATION, THE PLASTIC AROUND ONE SCREW HAD CRACKED APART, SEPARTING THE SCREW FROM THE ASSEMBLY, AND THE SECOND SCREW HAD JUST FALLEN OUT. (3) I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO POHANKA AND THEY REPLACED ONE SCREW AND PUT A WASHER AND A DIFFERENT SCREW FOR THE OTHER CONNECTION. THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE MAPLIGHT ASSEMBLY, JUST PUT TWO DIFFERENT SCREWS AND A WASHER TO REATTACH THE MAPLIGHTS.

1ST OCCURENCE: AUG 4, 2003 (1) THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP THE FAILURE. (2) THE FAILURE WAS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RELEASE BUTTON/SELECTOR BUTTON DISINTERGRATED FOUR DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE BRAND NEW VECHICLE. WE HAD DRIVEN 800 MILES, AND UPON TRYING TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE INTO PARK THE BUTTON FELL APART. THE CONSEQUENCE WAS THE INABILITY TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, UNLESS WE USED A PIECE OF PLASTIC TO PUCH THE SPRING BACK AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS ONLY 1/2 MILE AWAY WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURED. (3) POHANKA NISSAN OF FREDERICKSBURG, WHERE WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, REPLACED THE PART. 2ND OCCURENCE: APPROX. JULY 2004 (1) ONCE AGAIN, THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. (2) THE BUTTON ONCE AGAIN BROKE APART, THIS TIME WHEN DEPRESSING THE BUTTON TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. THERE WAS A LARGE ENOUGH PIECE OF PLASTIC LEFT TO ALLOW THE CAREFUL PUSHING OF THE SPRING AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO POHANKA NISSAN OF FREDERICKSBURG. (3) THE BUTTON WAS ONCE AGAIN REPLACED BY POHANKA NISSAN. [THE BUTTON WAS REPLACED AGAIN UNDER NISSAN REPAIR BULLETIN JUNE 2005 BY COWLES NISSAN OF WOODBRIDGE -- THIS IS THE THIRD REPLACEMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT HAD NOT BROKEN] 3RD OCCURENCE: 4 JULY 2005 (1) FOR ABOUT FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE FAILURE, THERE WAS GREAT DIFFICULTY IN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE INTO PARK, IT WOULD STOP AT REVERSE. AFTER SOME WIGGLING IT WOULD EVENTUALLY SHIFT INTO PARK. (2) WHEN PULLING INTO A GAS STATION, WE ONCE AGAIN WERE HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING FROM DRIVE INTO PARK, AND AFTER TRYING TO WRIGGLE THE SHIFTER, THE ENTIRE SHIFTER LEVER CAME OUT OF THE CONSOLE IN MY HAND. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN REVERSE. WE GENTLY REPLACED THE SHIFTER INTO THE CONSOLE, AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN QUEST WHICH HAD A RECALL TO FIX A PROBLEM WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR WOULD CAUSE AN AIRBAG TO STILL DEPLOY EVEN IF A CHILD WAS SITTING IN THAT SEAT. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, MY "PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED" INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN WITH AN ADULT (WEIGHT 105LBS) IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORT THAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THIS IS HOW IT IS INTENDED TO WORK AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE IS AT RISK WHEN I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT WHEN SHE IS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

WHAT HAPPENS, LEFT SIDE OF THE VISOR MADE INCORRECTLY AND IT IS CATCHING THE SIDE COLUMB OF THE VEHICLE AND CONSEQUENTLY IT STAYS ALMOST IN THE MIDDLE.

Air Bags
PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. BILL RAY NISSAN OF LONGWOOD, FLORIDA IS UNWILLING TO FIX.
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.
