Filed Aug 3, 2015 · Engine · 103,000 miles · CA

While driving in the freeway, the engine sudenly stalled, pulled over and tried a couple of times and engine started again, after that the stall cotinues happening with no simptoms at all, it happens at any time and any condition; during traffic driving or during high speed driving, day or night. Really dangerous because some times other drivers have problems to avoid crash with my van that does not start and can not be moved away. All kind of reviews have been performed and no success to fix this issue. I have read this is a very frequent failure for nissan quest vehicles; can you do anything to ask nissan for a solution? A lot of money has been paid for sensors, relays, ecu, fuel pump and of course labor. Please help

Dt*: the contact stated while traveling various speeds, the airbag warning light remained illuminated after an occupant who weighed 115 pounds sat in the seat. The front passenger air bag would not deploy in the event of a crash when the air bag light was illuminated. On another occasion, an occupant who weighed 150 pounds sat in the passenger seat, and the air bag light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed a diagnostic, and did not provide any error codes. The dealer and contact encountered a the federal safety agency recall #04v103000, regarding the air bags: frontal: sensor/control module. The dealer determined the vehicle was not involved in the recall due to the VIN. Also, the fuel gauge on the instrument panel, did not display the correct amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced the fuel tank, fuel pump, but the problem recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted.

Purchased 2004 nissan quest 3.5 sl 3/13/04. Experienced problems with car starting during first week. Requested full check of engine. Took to dealership for custom package. Upgrade and engine diagnostic during 2nd week. Was not done! Beginning 3rd week car would not start. Dealership towed and supposedly fixed. Received. Vehicle following day 4/02/04. On the way home from dealership, car suddenly died in a turn on a major intersection during rush hour. Nearly hit a car and a curb before I could stop vehicle. My children were onboard! Unknown to me, gasoline was pouring out from underneath the vehicle. Cars were zooming by on their way home. Some men got my children and I out of the car and pushed to car into a gas station on that corner. We were in the vehicle for several minutes with the hazard lights on, before I could safely get my children from the car. Dealership once again towed vehicle and supposedly fixed the fuel related problem. Replaced the fuel pump. My vehicle to this day does not get near the reported guideline fuel consumption ratings. Window sticker 19 - 26 mpg, lowest end ratings on this model are 16 - 22. Mine gets 13 - 14.1 in town and 17 to 18 on the highway. Have read of recurring problems with low impact causing fire in the steering columns of the 2004 nissan quest, a problem and recall that existed long before the 2004 models.

We bought our brand new 2004 nissan quest s on 7-30-04. The next day it ran very sluggish and would not accelerate up to adequete speed from a stop. It stalled out twice and the check engine light came on. Dealer had to replace fuel injector, fuel pump and some kind of gasket. They also ordered us a new vehicle and was very cooperative and helpful. I did not want to have to worry the next 10 years if my car was going to break down with my small children. This is not my expectation of a brand new vehicle.

We purchased this van in sep of 2003. At the end of oct I went out to leave for work and the van wouldn't start. We had it towed (my expense) to the dealer. Once it arrived there it started fine. A couple weeks later it did the same thing and we just waited until it warmed up and it started just fine. We discovered that it was doing this when the temperature was below 34 degrees. We again took it to the dealer and they kept the van for 2 1/2 weeks. They finally told us that they were flying in a technician from california to change the fuel pump. Haven't had this trouble until now. Again this week I went to leave for work and it wouldn't start. (now it's 80 degrees outside) the wrecker tried to start it 3 hours later and it still wouldn't start. But after being towed and bounced around it starts again. The dealer has kept the van again and is going to change the fuel pump again. In between these 3 visits we have had to take it in numerous times because the van would have no power and start off in 2nd or 3rd gear. Each time we took it in we were told that nissan knew it was a problem they just hadn't figured out how to fix it yet. This was finally fixed 2 weeks ago. We have taken the van in because the driver window stutters as it's rolled down, the doors rattle,the passenger side sliding door sticks and difficult to open, and the carpet under the drivers peddles was cut too short and kept pulling loose. Each time I take it in I'm told that there is nothing that can be done. For the window stuttering, they told me it was the window tinting (but the passenger window is fine) we are extremely dissatisfied with this vehicle. We are one step away from violating the lemon law. It states that if the vehicle has to be taken in for 4 times for the same problem in a year it's a lemon. Well, we are on our 3rd visit now. I would strongly recommend that no one purchase this van.
