2007 Nissan Quest engine complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 50 of 50, newest first, as owners wrote them.
During regular oil change dealer advised lower "a" arm of suspension and left side engine mount were defective and needed change. I responded I had extended warranty go ahead. Dealer stated there was no extended warranty, I needed to pay cash first. I insisted the dealer send someone to the car a copy of the extended warranty was in the glove compartment. The dealer finally accepted there was an extended warranty. The anomaly is that the oil drain and filter are in immediate proximity to the suspension and engine mount and the defects were not detected during previous oil changes. It was only after the factory warranty expired the defects were found. The dealer expected no warranty existed and therefore cash would need to be paid. Cash payment for non-warranty is kept solely by the dealer. My concern is the defects were found while the vehicle was still under factory warranty and we were sent back out onto the highway in a defective vehicle waiting for the factory warranty to expire. There is a possibility dealers are sending dangerous cars back out onto the highway waiting for factory warranties to expire and not have to split repair fees with corporate.
The rattling noise began at 45,000 miles. When I accelerate, a rattling chain sound is heard from the engine area. I currently have 50,000 miles on my 2007 nissan quest. It has to be replaced or it will eventually do damage to the engine. It's an 8 hr process. It's estimated at $1800 for the repair. The timing chain needs to be replaced and there's no recall. There is a repair bulletin out but no recall. The speedometer reads 20-25mph when it's at "parked" and sometimes when the engine is turned off. I am driving 60mph on a local road and 100mph on the freeway. The rear blower turns on by itself when I turn on the engine. I have to shut off the engine and the blower turns off. The front blower is off during the entire time. These are repairs that have been experienced by other owners and yet there's no recall, only service bulletins.
I have recently filed a complaint with nissan USA regarding the timing chain rattling noise on my 2007 nissan quest. I was told that the company is not responsible for the repairs since my car was out of warranty. However, the company has issued service bulletin on this issue indicating a major design deficiency with chain guide, tensioner and chains. Timing chain is not supposed to go out at this low miles interval, and noting the various complaints on the web, I would request that this issue being investigated and be made into a recall for these vehicles. This can be a safety issue if the chain were to break while operating the vehicle.
The timing chain issue was officially confirmed. We were assured by the technician at nissan santa rosa that upon investigation we were not responsible for the wear and damage of the parts. I have a concern that there is a possibility that fraud and deception was committed which is a violation of the deceptive trade practices act (dtpa). As per the federal safety agency, the united states code for motor vehicle safety (title 49, chapter 301) defines motor vehicle safety as 'the performance of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment in a way that protects the public against unreasonable risk of accidents occurring because of the design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle, and against unreasonable risk of death or injury in an accident, and includes nonoperational safety of a motor vehicle. Generally, a safety defect is defined as a problem that exists in a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that: poses an risk to motor vehicle safety, and may exist in a group of vehicles of the same design or manufacture, or items of equipment of the same type and manufacture. A technical service bulletin was issued due to the high volume of problems with timing chains. Timing chains were used in place of belts because of the supposed maintenance free quality they provided. Unlike belts, timing chains are supposed to be good for the life of the vehicle. However, nissan was using nylon gears. Metal on nylon will wear out and should not be boasted as 'good for lifetime of vehicle.' multiple websites and forums have posted the problems and expenses incurred with their nissan timing chain issues. The nissan technician at nissan santa rosa stated that this is why nissan switched back to using belts because so many people were having issues with their 'lifetime chains.
At 60000 miles had to replace the passenger wheel bearing and ABS sensor in the vehicle. At 90000 miles a knocking sound began to come from the engine while the vehicle was stopped or in park. Mechanic advised this was due to the timing chain, which is a problem due to the plastic parts that nissan uses to hold the tension on the chain. This is a known problem with this model vehicle as numerous complainants have been filed. Concerned that nissan knew it had a bad component and has not fixed the problem that exist. Also, now the driver side wheel bearing is bad and needs to be replaced. Started to have problems with the brakes around 30000. Fixed the brakes with oe parts, and then began to have problems with the rotors. Technician advised these problems came from the rotors getting hot. Had the rotors turned which did not work. Now I am going to have to replace the rotors on the front of the vehicle. Window motor also has went bad in the vehicle.
Around 85000 miles a rattling noise appear, it was diagnosed as the timing chain, I was told at the dealership that they have a problem with the timing chain but they do not have a recall. It cost over $2000 to repair a problem known to the nissan company and they won't do a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan quest. While parked, the contact heard a whining noise coming from the engine. The failure also occurred while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the noise had become louder when driving at faster speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics where the technician stated that the timing chain tensioner would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
Loud squealing noise from secondary timing chain tensioners in engine. Was told if tensioners break, timing chain would release into engine and cause a hazard. Dealership fixed it- $1700 and the secondary tensioners are worn and cheap. The new ones are much different. If I had not had the squealing noise, the timing chain would have been released inside the engine.
I have a 2007 nissan quest. I have noticed a humming sound coming from the engine. I get regular oil changes and asked the service tech to see if he could also hear the noise. He said that it sounded like it was coming from my timing chain. I took it to the nearest nissan dealership service center and they confirmed that it was the timing chain. I was quoted $3300 to repair my vehicle. I also took my vehicle to another auto shop and two li master technicians were in complete disbelief that this was indeed the problem. My concern is that if nissan knew about this problem before I bought the vehicle then why is it that I will now have to put $3300 into a vehicle that I still owe $15,000 on and if I trade it in I will have about $5,000 in negative equity? I bought a nissan because I thought it would last me a long time. After we paid it off we were planning on purchasing a nissan titan but probably not now. I am saddened and disappointed that my car is only two years old and it's parked until I can afford the repair.
