Our 2015 nissan quest with 47500 miles on it started making a bad noise on sunday 3/26/18, and hesitating as I was driving with my 3 kids back from a short trip. It was a horrible sensation to not know if I could make it home safe with my kids. Took it to nisssn to check it out on monday 3/27/18. I got a call today to tell me that the radiatior gar a leak into the transmission. The transmission is out. I need to replace the transmission, and radiator. Total repair cost almost $6000. They submitted a claim under warranty, which was turned down by nissan because it was not the transmission that fail on it\\\\\\\'s own. But, provoked by the leak by radiator, which is not covered under warranty. I purchased this vehicle in aug. 17. And, cannot believe that nissan is getting away with not fixing this known issue on their faulty radiators on many of their vehicles. I cannot afford the 6k to fix it. So, I don't know what I will do.

The brake, ABS, service engine light is showing on the dash and will not go out. I just had brakes and rotors put on this vehicle. I was traveling on the highway and the vehicle just shut down. I was able to pull off to the shoulder safely. The vehicle at first would crank but not start. After a few minutes, I was able to start vehicle. Now the engine runs rough and it hesitates on acceleration.

I've had this vehicle into my local nissan dealers service center many times for a loss of power. They had me replace the ecu, which had to be programmed, then they said that it was the catalytic converters. I bought all three of those. After that it needed to be programmed for the air/fuel ratio. Still ran the same. I brought it into a different shop, they said it had a bad throttle. My brother had one I had put in but still no power, and hesitation at acceleration and up hills, and misfires and backfires a lot. One of the codes they found for me was a timing issue. My brother has same van told me he had to replace the timing chain. I've heard a rattling and whining noise from timing area, so I looked into this further. Back in 2004 nissan issued a tsb regarding this issue telling technicians to make a "goodwill adjustment" to push back repairs of this issue until the vehicle was out of warranty. I am very concerned about this problem with my vehicle since learning about what could happen should it fail. I drive my children in that van and bought it because I thought it would be a safe and comfortable vehicle to drive. Apparently not. Nissan consumer affairs even told me that they will not cover the cost of repairs. I currently await to hear from a supervisor to give them an earful and to find out the reasons why it will not be fixed. This should be a safety recall. If catastrophic engine failure due to this happens on the highway (which we travel almost every day), this would leave the vehicle completely crippled and unable to steer out of the way of any danger. Sooner or later someone is going to be injured if not killed in a motor vehicle accident from this if not already. It's a shame nissan doesn't see the value of potentially saving its customers lives vs. The cost of making necessary repairs. It should be a recall. I'll never buy a nissan again.

The vehicle has developed a hesitation from a stop position. When you are stopped at a traffic light and try to accelerate, the vehicle hesitates. It does not do it all the time but it is getting more frequent. I had the vehicle back to the dealership before the warranty ran out. They said nothing wrong. I have also talked to nissan customer relations (mark @ 615‑725‑7561) and was assigned a case number (19100795). I feel like this is a safety issue which should be addressed by nissan. I know there is a recall about this problem and hills and low gas. I never let my gas tank get below 1/2 tank and where I live and drive there are no hills. I am documenting this issue in case an accident results, in which case nissan will hear about it again.
