While driving the instrument panel goes in and out making it difficult to see speed, fuel level, temp, turning signals, rpms, and everything else necessary to drive safely. Sometimes while the panel comes back to working properly it enables the overdrive causing the engine to jolt while driving. During research I found there are too many complaints from other people that are experiencing the same issue and dealers quoting them in the 700- thousands of dollars to fix, this should be a recall and a free repair as this is a safety issue and it's affecting too many vehicles.

Fuel gauge is not displaying as well as the odometer and temperature- previous owners have the same issue and current litigation had been placed for same model and same or different years.. Air bag sensor on front seat passenger is not active but a small adult is on the seat. Similar recalls had been happening on this model but not expanding through many VIN#s brake- similar recalls had been happening on this model but not expanding through many VIN#s. An accident doesn't need to happen in order to recall those car that are suffering the same diagnosis on current/approved recalls. An action must be taken.

My wife notified me that while driving to work, our van a 2005 nissan quest 3.5 s, without warning completely shut off leaving her stranded in the middle of traffic. After a few minutes and several attempts she was able to restart the vehicle and return home. On another occasion while I was driving the vehicle around town I experienced a similar incident when again without warning the van shut completely off as I was approaching an intersection on a red light. After bringing the vehicle to a complete stop without braking assist or power steering it restarted after a few attempts. During both incidences the vehicle had a full tank of fuel and showed no indications of trouble.

The odometer just stop displaying the mileage, temp and fuel. After about 10 months the stereo stop working, when I looked around in the internet I noticed that many owners of the quest were having that problem , the console has the radio and odometer integrated.

Vehicle lost power on highway in rainstorm. Were able to steer to side of road. Upon inspection by a mechanic, we discovered the ECM (computer) to be extremely corroded. We had it replaced for $1100.00. There was no nearby nissan dealer, but the master mechanic who replaced the part did order it from nissan. They would not honor the warranty, as the part was not installed by the dealer. I visited a site, questdriver.com where I found several similar complaints regarding 2004-2006 nissan quests. Never was the warranty honored because nissan said they would not cover faulty parts corroded or rusty. Many drivers cars stalled in compromising situations, as we did. There was threat of a class action suit, though I don't know the outcome. The ECM I purchased just failed again yesterday. I was approaching a busy intersection, but was able to pull over onto a side road. Had I pulled out into the intersection and stalled, I shudder to think where could have happened. The same part is corroded again. It is a design flaw in the placement of the part, just under the windshield, where it is exposed to rain. Nissan should find a way to shield this part from the elements and honor the warranty or replace the part at no cost. Thank you.

Car was on e with light on. Put $60 of gas in approx 16 gal. Car should have been full. Restarted car and gas gauge stayed on e. Turned car off, restarted multiple times. Gas gauge moved to 2 bars. Dealership disconnected battery and when reconnected gas gauge moved to full. Pushed button in rear tailgate to close tailgate door, front windows rolled up instead. Stopped @ stop sign and then went to accelerate. Car RPM's went up to 4.5 then acted like I had taken my foot off the gas and dropped down to below 1 and shot back up to 4 and back down to 1, and then finally kicked into gear and went forward. Luckily no other cars around or could've caused accident. Dealer said they could look but unless I could duplicate above listed incidences they wouldn't be able to figure out what was wrong. Passenger sliding doors freeze shut in winter. Kids have to climb in through the front doors.
