The bad connection to the dash lights I think involve the overdrive on & off, side door opening and back door (no problem with back door yet). There is also a problem with the front left assembly located at the tire. I make a sharp right to transfer the weight to the left and I get a bad vibration. Something is loose or bad bearings. I told nissan of smithtown located in long island,ny about the problem all they said was "ok". They would not give me a appointment to come in. But nissan of smithtown did charge me $90( under warr.) to have the slipping transmission looked at. Now they have law suits for other things they did from the attorney general office. I like to have my cash back. I also like to add the windshield cracked about six months ago in the middle. Must be at least two feet long. The body is twisting too much. You may reach me e-mail. Thank you for your time and consideration. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Was told on 6/28/08 that my quest needed a new "brain" for the computer and this is what was causing the vehicle to not go out of second gear. We are still waiting on the part and nissan USA has no answers for when the part will be in. They have refused us a rental because it is not their policy because the 5/60 warranty is out, but the part to the engine is under warranty. The car is unsafe to drive - the transmission often slips as well as provides no acceleration most of the time.

The transmission slipped on three occasions. First time it failed to accelerate from a stop. I had to almost floor the gas pedal before it began to move. It finally corrected itself after a couple miles. The second event, I was on the highway, the vehicle accelerated well, but when the pedal was released, the engine rpms dropped to idle, I was doing 60 MPH. This happened the whole trip, after it was parked for a few minutes I restarted it . The drive home was uneventful. The third event was the same as the first, the transmission slipped as though there was no fluid in it. I brought it into the dealer and they could not duplicate the problem, and told me if it happens again to go to the closest dealer while the problem was happening. After reading similar complaints on this website, there is a major problem with this model that needs to be addressed before someone gets killed.

We have the 2004 sl and have had two occurrences where the car has no power and accelerated very slowly from a stopped position. This occurs the first time the car is turned on and does not stop until the car is shut off. It appears that the transmission is slipping since the rpms are high, the engine is revving, but the car is not moving. After about 35-40 MPH it breaks free. The dealer has witnessed the problem, I took it straight there the 2nd time it happened. They have done nothing to fix it, can't duplicate. I went to bbb arbitration and lost. I am pursing with an attorney.
