1997 Nissan Quest body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Power door locks engage without the control being touched. This has happened both while driving, and while parked.
Erratic operation of the electric door locks has prevented access through the sliding side door, and occasionally has prevented passengers from exiting through the sliding door (they were locked in). The keyless remote sounds like it is locking the doors, but intermittently leaves the sliding door unlocked.
All electrical door locks are working intermittently. Consumer had the vehicle in repair shop twice. Still, dealer can't determinet the cause.
All the doors are locking up automatically whenever consumer gets out of the vehicle. Also, whenever consumer takes the key out of ignition, or with the key in the ignition, vehicle is still running.
During a vehicle crash the window and door locks malfucntioned while being in a "locked" position, and the occupant wasn't able to get out of the vehicle, had to go through a broken window to get out.
