Passenger side sliding door fails to latch or pops open when driving and the temperature outside is below 30 degrees fahrenheit. This vehicle has been taken back to the dealer at least 4 or 5 times so far. This renders the vehicle inoperative until the door latches shut. This is endangering our children who sit in car seats in the second row of seats in the quest.

Purchased this vehicle 3 months ago, used. We have had nothing but problems since. The main problems are: the roof leaks, whether it's the sunroof or something else causing the leak remains to be seen. Dealer claims no leak found, but everytime it rains there is water in the van, which now reeks of mold. The passenger power sliding door will not close properly on the first try. It keeps opening up right as it goes to close. Dealer claims fixed but still have to make 2 or 3 attempts before it will finally work. Door would not close at all 2 times in the last week. Manual override did not release the door. After waiting 5 minutes and trying again, the door would finally shut. The A/C does not blow out cool air on very hot (over 80 degrees) days.

2004 quest, when it is cold out the side doors wont open, have to pull on them hard and then maybe eventually they will open, or have to wait for the van to warm up on the inside for doors to be able to open. Not a convenient problem when children need to be take to school early in the morning. Taken to dealership, and technician advised me it was a common problem and "deal" with it.

The driver's side sliding door,not powered, will open up when accelerating or going around a curve. The door will not close when the temp is below 32 degrees. Obviously this is dangerous when my 6 month old infant is in the car when the door opens up. The nissan dealer was told about it 4 times and today, again, it was not even looked at. Does my infant have to fall out of the car before this problem will be taken seriously? How do I get this fixed? The recall was on the power door and not on the other one. There is a problem on both types of doors and this is not acknowledged.
