2011 Nissan Quest

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND 20 MINUTES LATER EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING UPHILL. THE CONTACT CALLED NISSAN OF SALEM (2755 MISSION ST SE, SALEM, OR 97302, (503) 581-3849) AND ABC NISSAN (1300 E CAMELBACK RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85014, (602) 682-4468) AND THE DEALERS WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V076000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 159,000.

ACCELERATION FROM A FULL STOP IS UNRELIABLE. THE ISSUE IS MOST PROMINENT WHEN GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO LEVEL OFF, WHEN ACCELERATION RESUMES TO NORMAL RESPONSE. EVEN ON LEVEL ROAD SURFACES, THE ACCELERATION IS INCONSISTENT ONCE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT USED THE KEYFOB TO DEACTIVATE THE HORN HOWEVER, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINALS TO DISABLE THE HORN FUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. THE TIRE BLOWOUT CAUSED THE HOOD LATCH CABLE TO DETACH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE SHOP FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO BAYOU NISSAN (13050 I-10 SERVICE RD, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70128), AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FEE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING (9/25/19) AND THERE IS A SUDDEN THUMP ON THE ENGINE AS IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD STALL AGAIN AFTER A FEW YARDS. SO I DECIDED TO PULLOVER SAFELY AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION BUT WITH EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH OR BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING. THIS IS THE 2ND NISSAN QUEST I OWNED AND IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE 1ST ONE HAD ISSUES AT 50,000+ MILES. THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE OUR BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASING OUR VEHICLE. IN 2018 ALONE WE PURCHASED 3 BATTERIES THEN THE FINAL STRAW IS THAT THERE IS AN "H" SLIT IN THE DASH YET THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. WHICH DURING OUR FINANCING TIME PERIOD WAS NEVER A CONCERNED TO THE DEALER. NOW THAT THE CAR IS PAID OFF, THESE 2 SPECIFIC HABITUAL PROBLEMS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED THE PRICE OF OUR VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMS OUR VAN MAY BE PART OF THE SOFTWARE RECALL BUT I AM ALSO THINKING THAT THE CRANKSHAFT MAY BE A HUGE FACTOR ALSO.
