I have had an intermittent electrical issue with my nissan quest for the last few years (since 60,000 miles, now at 100,000 miles). The dealer has been unable to properly diagnose this issue over a period of years, and it is a safety concern. Suddenly the speedometer drops to zero when I am driving and all the dashboard hazard lights go on. When I am able to pull over and turn off and restart the car, the check engine light remains on and the car is ok for a few days/weeks/months. Then it all happens again. They have changed sensors, tightened all electrical connections, and now would like to change the ABS actuator assembly. I notice online that this is a problem that many owners of 2004 quests have, and seems to be a serious safety issue. I have not allowed my children to drive my car. I feel this needs a recall from nissan to correct.

2004 nissan quest le has had the "vdc off" warning light come on periodically while driving for the past 2 months, with increasing frequency. Vdc is the vehicle dynamic control system designed to assist driver with control and stability of vehicle during slips or swerves while driving. Dealer had difficulty diagnosing the problem but a recent visit on 7/28/08 presented me with an expensive replacement of the ABS actuator. Dealer surmised that when I said we were being followed in traffic last week and were told we had no brake lights, that was a result of the vdc off indicator light coming on. Although I am not yet aware of additional safety hazards, the lack of brake lights seems significant. Consultation to the owners manual for advice on vdc off warning light gave absolutely no indication of the brake light failure as a result.

Between the dates of feb 10-17, 2008; my 2004 nissan quest minivan began to experience some electrical issues. The tcs, slip, and ABS lights came on in the dash and a humming noise was coming from my engine. I took my vehicle to the dealership (were I purchased it from), and as I pulled into the lot the lights went off (feb 28). The service rep. Told me the information should be stored in my van's computer system. I paid $97.40 for the dealership to hook my car up for a diagnostic check only to be told that ABS system pump and module assembly needed to be replaced at a cost of $1790. The service rep also told me that what ever was causing the humming noise would be repaired. Only a temporary fix, because on my way back home the noise started again. He also told me that my brakes were functional but my ABS unit did not affect my normal brakes. Until I could have the repairs done, and with no other means of transportation, I continued to drive my van. I called back to the dealership and ask if there was anyway for them to disconnect the ABS system because it was continuing to drain my battery. And I was told no, the only way was to have the repairs done. On march 8, I part my van and three hours later I returned to my van and it would not start. So it had to have my car jump started and ever since then have had to remove the terminals from the battery when I am not using the van. On feb 14, several other issue came about: 1. Speedometer stopped working 2. Odometer stopped working 3. Air conditioner stopped working so once I pulled over, I attempted to start my vehicle and it would continously start and stop. So I made the decision to leave the van where it was parked. Two days later I returned to find out that the van had actually caught on fire the on saturday feb. 15. So what am I to do.........? *tr updated

It is in the shop right now for issues with handling, the liftgate arm coming out of the door, ABS, slip, traction lights are on all the time, cruise control is inoperable, rear wiper assembly has broken for the second time, front washer fluid is not working. Most notably are the issues with the liftgate and handling. We took the vehicle into the dealer several months ago for both issues. Our liftgate would never open on the first try. They checked into it and kept the vehicle for several days. We were given a rental and told they would pay for it and in the end they charged our credit card for it. They had a tech from nissan fly out to look at it. They informed us that they were waiting on parts. We picked up the vehicle and never heard from them again. The other day I went out to open the door. It had pulled the molding loose and I could see metal shavings at the end of the strut. We have had it in with complaints about the handling before. We suspected that the rotors were to blame. Every time we brought this up we were told that wasn't the case. We were told to replace the brakes to solve the issue. We then replaced all four tires. Nothing has solved the problem. When driving on the highway the steering wheel shakes and the vehicle shudders when the brakes are applied. It has been doing this since approximately 15,000 miles. The AC blow hot if you sit for more than a few minutes with the engine running. If you rev the engine, it just blows hotter. You have to drive around for several minutes to get the AC to blow cold again. We are less than happy with nissan's customer service. We have called them several times and emailed and have had no resolution on any complaint. We have been told by them that a rep will call us and it has never happened.
