What 2002 Nissan Quest owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 nissan quest. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle temperature rose. The vehicle was stopped and coolant was added to the engine and the contact proceeded to drive the vehicle home. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic the following day and was informed that the head gasket would need to be replaced. The gasket had been replaced once before at 40,000 miles. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 104,000.
Description: the inside rear view mirror in my 2002 nissan quest is an electro chromic self-dimming mirror that has no manual backup. The mirror contains a fluid which has recently accumulated on the bottom 3/4 of the mirror surface causing the self-dimming mirror to fail to provide dimming against rear approaching headlights on the top 1/4th. Additionally, the bottom 3/4ths is so dark it is almost impossible to see vehicles approaching unless their lights are on. A person standing behind the vehicle could not be seen at dusk. There are many documented cases of these mirrors failing in various makes and models as a result usually from the internal fluid leaking. This mirror was made by magna donnelly. Replacement mirrors are approximately $350 from the dealership.
Rear door handles on 2002 nissan quest break off, leaving no way to open the door to the passengers from the outside of the vehicle.
Widetrack sr bl tire p22565/16 nissan quest minivan. Right rear tire blowout march 09, then, left rear tire blowout april 20, 09. Tires purchased feb.2005 at ted weins las vegas.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 nissan quest. The contact noticed that the exterior headlights would sporadically fail, which reduces visibility. He took the vehicle to the dealer on three occasions and they replaced the headlight connector, the headlight socket twice, and the bulb in the headlamp. As of august 7, 2008, none of the repairs have successfully remedied the failure. The contact called the manufacturer, but was not provided with any assistance because his vehicle exceeded its warranty. The failure mileage was 24,794 and current mileage was 120,000.
The door handles on the nissan quest came off in my hands while I was trying to open the sliding doors. The consequence was that neither of the sliding doors will open and the inside handles were not working either. Nothing was done to fix them, even though I have the best extended warranty nissan offered, door handles were not covered. They claimed that I ripped them off with undue force.
Dt*: the contact stated the handle failed to lock in place. This could potentially cause the seat to spin upside down dumping the baby out of the seat. The child safety seat manufacturer was graco; model number: 7479ctc. The manufacturer date was july-02.
Dt*: the contact stated while receiving a maintenance inspection by an authorized dealer, it was determined the rubber boot on the axle spindle had deteriorated. The dealer replaced the rubber boots on the axle spindle and attributed the deterioration to the heat and humidity.
The rearview mirror on the vehicle, donnelly glare free compass mirror, has become unusable. At first I thought it was because of the heat and sun in guam but after reviewing the web site, I found out that there is a technical service bulletin on this mirror.
