Crank shaft broken when nissan dealer try to change timing belt. The next day I call aaa tow my 1995 quest to arco gas station.

Consumer states that vehicle's crankshaft cracked while driving in approximately 40mph on the highway. Incident was very dangerous and almost resulted in a collision. Ts

My crankshaft in the engine broke at the timing belt pulley side. I had only 53288 miles on the van and have found others that have experienced the exact same failure in the same location. Beginning in 1996 nissan went to a larger crankshaft. If this was due to a known problem with the earlier crankshafts (1993-1995) then customers should have been notified and the repairs made. A broken crankshaft at a high rate of speed could be fatal. This has been the third noted broken crankshaft at the dealership at this location according to the mechanic.
Crankshaft broke while driving, causing engine to shut down and loss of power. Dealer replaced crankshaft.

Broken crankshaft (engine defect) - common to 1993-1995 quest and villager.
Crankshaft broken at 85k, after recent dealer installation of timing belt. Engine died while driving, luckily we weren't in traffic. Had a similar problem at 21k - driving on the expressway and lost most of the engine power. Again, not much traffic, and this time the car would still drive (slow) so we could get to a dealer where all belts and aseal to crankshaft was replaced.
My 1995 nissan quest stopped suddenly on april 7, 2000 approx. 4:30 pm during rush hour traffic in wash dc on penn. And branch ave. I had no warning signs nor any known problems with my car. I called for a tow truck that towed my car to wards in hillcrest heights, md. Nissan closes early with no weekend support and I needed my car serviced immediately. Wards checked my car and find that my "timing belt" had broken. I informed wards not to fix it because I had my "timing belt" changed 10 months ago (06/10/99) and nissan should be held responsible for fixing it. I arranged towing again (at my expense) to have my car towed from wards to nissan. Nissan checked my car and informed me that the "timing belt" had broken due to a broken head bolt that had fallen a broke the timing belt. I had purchased an extended warranty from nissan went I bought the car, so everything should have been covered -- it wasn't, because the coverage didn't cover nuts and bolts. I was outage and had been sold a produce that I couldn't use and under false pretense. Nissan service manger (larry)at passport nissan explained to my husband and I my car had an engine the same as the nissan maxima; and he has seen the motor on these cars do the same as mind when the reach approx 75,000 miles. Since, this service manager is aware of this problem why wasn't I notified of this problem. I have kept up the service maintenance agreement for this car and should have encountered the problems I had. It costed my $1697.00 to get this fix and I just paid them $657.00 in june. I would like an investigation on this matter.
