2013 Nissan Quest

WHILE TAKING MY VAN OUT OF PARKING LOT, THE VAN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE DESPITE THE FACT THAT RPM GUAGE SHOWED PROPER RPM. I TRIED TO BACK THE VAN, BUT SAME SITUATION. I CHECKED ANY WARNING SIGN SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE BUT THERE WAS NO SUCH SIGN. EVENTUALLY THE VAN STARTED ACCELERATING VERY SLOWLY AND PICKED UP SOME SPEED. I STRAIGHT REACHED TO GLEN BURNIE TRANSMISSIONS SHOP AND THEIR MASTER TECHNICIAN CONDUCTED THE DIAGNOSTIC AND A DRIVE TEST. HE THEN INFORMED ME THAT ANTIFREEZE FROM RADIATOR HAS MIXED INTO TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY DAMAGED. HE TOLD ME THAT IT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THE ESTIMATED CAST IS $4595 PLUS TAX. I THEN CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE AND THEIRIK SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN PATHFINDER AND QUEST EVEN WITHOUT WARNING. HE GAVE ME THE REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $ 7500. I AM TRULY UPSET WITH THIS MANUFACTURER MAJOR DEFECT THAT CAUSE SO MUCH ECONOMIC LOSS TO THE CUSTOMER. I WOULD REALY WANT NISSAN TO REPAIR THIS FOR FREE. WHILE DRIVING TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP THE VAN WOULDN'T PICK UP ACCELERATION AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AFTER STOP AND ALL THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE JUMBLED UP AND IT MADE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOTORISTS AS WELL AS FOR THE PEDESTRIANS IN THE CROSSING.

WE PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN QUEST IN NOVEMBER 2015. IT HAD AROUND 48-49K MILES ON IT AND CURRENTLY HAS 99K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING IT YESTERDAY, IT BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UPON ACCELERATION BETWEEN 0 AND 45MPH. IT FELT EXACTLY LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. WE TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC, WHO TEST DROVE IT BEFORE PULLING IT INTO THE GARAGE TO CHECK THE AXELS. WHEN HE WENT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK IT OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY QUIT. THE MECHANIC INFORMED US AT THAT POINT THAT NISSANS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION WERE NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING THESE TYPES OF ISSUES. NO CHECK ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION LIGHTS EVER CAME ON.

AT 9K MILES THESE BRIDGESTONE TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE EXTERIOR SIDE WALLS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF ALIGNMENT! WE HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST 10K MILES! TIRES ARE NOW SHOWING WHITE 'WIRE' AND MUST BE REPLACED! ONCE AGAIN, DEALERSHIP SAYS ALIGNMENT ISSUE WHEN I TOOK IT IN! AND AGAIN, ALIGNMENT IS PERFECT! TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED EVERY 3-5K MIKES AT OIL CHANGE.THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS WITH ONLY 21K MILES ON THEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN QUEST. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, A CHILD CAME IN PROXIMITY WITH THE DOOR AND THE DOOR FAILED TO RETRACT ON TIME. THE CHILD WAS UNINJURED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER SENT AN ENGINEER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINEER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SIDE DOOR MOTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,393.

THE FRONT TIRES WEAR QUICKLY ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. BOUGHT VAN NEW AND WITHIN 5,000 MILES THE FRONT TIRES WERE BALD ON OUTSIDE EDGE OF BOTH TIRES. ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AND DETERMINED TO BE IN SPEC. ROTATED TIRES TO BACK AND NOW ROTATED TIRES EXHIBITING SAME WEAR PATTERN. TIRES WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO WEAR ON OUTSIDE EDGE AND LOOSE TRACTION IN WET WEATHER. *TR
