2007 Nissan Quest

IT WAS A NOISE COMING UNDER THE CAR WE TAKE TO MECHANIC .THEY TOLD ME TIMING CHAIN IS LOOSE DON'T DRIVE LIKE THIS IT IS DANGER 3500 DOLLARS TO FIX IT . WE TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN THEY SAID THE SAME . ASKING LOTSOF MONEY TO FIX IT . THIS PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURE FAULT BUT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE. NO MORE NISSAN FOR ME I HAVEN'T FINISH PAYMENT YET

IN APRIL 2012 THE NISSAN QUEST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC - THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SENSOR - CHARGED $694.00. ON JULY 8TH THE CAR STOPPED AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED A HALF A TANK OF GAS. I PUT GAS IN THE CAR BUT THE GAUGE DID NOT MOVE. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2007 NISSAN QUEST BECAUSE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. NISSAN UNWILLING TO REPAIR VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD - POLICE HAD TO BE CALLED TO GET MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER OUT OF VAN UNTIL VEHICLE COULD BE TOLLED. NISSAN STATES MY VIN # IS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED 2007 NISSAN QUEST VANS. IF YOU HAVE A RECALL ALL VANS SHOULD BE COVERED AND HOW DO THEY GET TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH ONES. *TR

DURING REGULAR OIL CHANGE DEALER ADVISED LOWER "A" ARM OF SUSPENSION AND LEFT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED CHANGE. I RESPONDED I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY GO AHEAD. DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY, I NEEDED TO PAY CASH FIRST. I INSISTED THE DEALER SEND SOMEONE TO THE CAR A COPY OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER FINALLY ACCEPTED THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ANOMALY IS THAT THE OIL DRAIN AND FILTER ARE IN IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY TO THE SUSPENSION AND ENGINE MOUNT AND THE DEFECTS WERE NOT DETECTED DURING PREVIOUS OIL CHANGES. IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DEFECTS WERE FOUND. THE DEALER EXPECTED NO WARRANTY EXISTED AND THEREFORE CASH WOULD NEED TO BE PAID. CASH PAYMENT FOR NON-WARRANTY IS KEPT SOLELY BY THE DEALER. MY CONCERN IS THE DEFECTS WERE FOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND WE WERE SENT BACK OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY IN A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WAITING FOR THE FACTORY WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY DEALERS ARE SENDING DANGEROUS CARS BACK OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR FACTORY WARRANTIES TO EXPIRE AND NOT HAVE TO SPLIT REPAIR FEES WITH CORPORATE. *TR

THE RATTLING NOISE BEGAN AT 45,000 MILES. WHEN I ACCELERATE, A RATTLING CHAIN SOUND IS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I CURRENTLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. IT HAS TO BE REPLACED OR IT WILL EVENTUALLY DO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. IT'S AN 8 HR PROCESS. IT'S ESTIMATED AT $1800 FOR THE REPAIR. THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THERE'S NO RECALL. THERE IS A REPAIR BULLETIN OUT BUT NO RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER READS 20-25MPH WHEN IT'S AT "PARKED" AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. I AM DRIVING 60MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD AND 100MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE REAR BLOWER TURNS ON BY ITSELF WHEN I TURN ON THE ENGINE. I HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THE BLOWER TURNS OFF. THE FRONT BLOWER IS OFF DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. THESE ARE REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED BY OTHER OWNERS AND YET THERE'S NO RECALL, ONLY SERVICE BULLETINS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED, CLOSED, OR LATCHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT THEREFORE THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP/SYSTEM HAVE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. ON OR ABOUT 1/6/2013, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND COMING TO A LIGHT, THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND ADDED 1 GALLON OF GAS. NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. FUEL LEVEL STILL AT 1/4 TANK. MECHANIC ADDED GAS AND THE CAR STARTED. GAS GAUGE IS INACCURATE AND DANGEROUS. IN FEBRUARY 2013, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER DRIVING/PARKING THE VAN, IT WOULD START AND THEN TURN OFF, START AND THEN TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RUN BY GIVING IT GAS AS SOON AS IT STARTED. ON 3/13/2013, AFTER DRIVING THE VAN AND PARKING IT, IT WOULD NOT START. IT KEPT CRANKING, BUT NOTHING. MECHANIC FOUND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE WIRING AND WAS ABLE TO FIX IT. ON 3/28/2013, THE CAR STARTED AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WITH SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. VAN HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND SAID THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP GROUNDING. ON A NISSAN FORUM I DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING RECALL: "THE RECALL AFFECTS 2005 - 2008 NISSAN TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITI QX56S AS WELL AS NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUPS AND PATHFINDER AND XTERRA SUVS PRODUCED BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH 2006 AND BETWEEN OCTOBER 2007 AND JANUARY 2008. DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR INSIDE THE FUEL TANK, THE GAUGES CAN SHOW GAS TANKS A QUARTER FULL WHEN THEY ARE IN FACT EMPTY." I THINK THE NISSAN QUEST SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH IS ENDEMIC TO THESE CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE INCORRECTLY DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL. THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO THE EMPTY FUEL TANK LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 152,617.

I HAVE RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN USA REGARDING THE TIMING CHAIN RATTLING NOISE ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE INDICATING A MAJOR DESIGN DEFICIENCY WITH CHAIN GUIDE, TENSIONER AND CHAINS. TIMING CHAIN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GO OUT AT THIS LOW MILES INTERVAL, AND NOTING THE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, I WOULD REQUEST THAT THIS ISSUE BEING INVESTIGATED AND BE MADE INTO A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE CHAIN WERE TO BREAK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. *TR
