Nissan Quest wipers problems

Filed Mar 3, 2021 · Electrical, Visibility · 140,000 miles · IA

When driving down the road my van will start jerking like it's not getting enough fuel. I had it checked out and the mechanic could find nothing wrong with it. We drive around and it wouldn't act up. Since then, I've noticed it does when when using the windshield wipers.

I was sold a deceptive van at the end sept 2020, I did a test drive with the salesman, pointed out several issues with the van like check engine light on, traction light on, air bag light on, remote missing to control tv, the salesman told me not to worry about all the lights that's on he will get that fix at a later date and to buy the tv remote and a deduction will be applied to my contract. I was fine with that, but that hasn't been the case. I admittedly start to find other issue with the van the more I drove it like the rear wiper motor is not working, the complete steering wheel is not working so the horn, cruise control, bluetooth settings, radio volume button. I have made the salesman a where of this but his whole tone changed. I was told to get whatever issues fixed myself and maybe a deduction would be applied to my balance, once again I said but that's not what we agree on. So now its time for my temporary tag to expire, was issued a new one 3 times but had to take it to a shop to let them manipulate the system because the van will not pass marta/emission to get register for real license plate with the check engine light on. The van is missing the cadillac converter and the salesman will not put one on said you do not really need it on the van. At this point he said in a conversation with me that a previous owner had the van for about a month and returned it for issues, but when I said I'm not satisfied with the van and want to return as well, it was pass 2 months now and as long as the van gets me to point a to point b that's all that matters! Once again the more I drive the van I'm finding issues so now the button on the radio get stuck when pushed in, controlling the heat and air it has a mind of its own, so when I turn on the heat, the AC button will not turn off, also the automatic window buttons don't work properly. This van is unsafe to drive period.

While van was parked, turned off, and no key in ignition, the lights started flashing and wipers started going. Started to smoke. A witness called fire department and it was in flames before they got there. Apparently electrical system malfunctioned and caught fire. We were inside a mall when this happened. Fire department called us and fire was out before we got to vehicle. Van is totaled.

On november 27, 2013, while parked outside of my home, my 2004 nissan quest burst into flames. The car within seconds was completely engulfed in flames, and there was nothing anyone could do but get as far away from it as possible and hope there would be no injuries or fatalities. The car is totaled, and I need answers as to how a car that is parked all of a sudden bursts into flames. I believe that this needs to be investigated. My 2004 nissan quest cut off on me at a stop sign on october 31, 2013. When I got out of the car I could smell antifreeze. I had it towed to cowls nissan that evening. When I got to cowls nissan they were about to close, but I was able to rent a car from them while mine would be getting looked at and hopefully fixed the next day. The next day a representative from cowls nissan called me and told me that the rear coolant pump needed fixing and that'?s why the car cut off and wouldn'?t start. They replaced the pump and refilled it with antifreeze. I had my windshield wipers fixed because they said as they did a courtesy multipoint inspection the wipers weren'?t working because of a wiper link issue. When I went to pick up the car I noticed on the receipt that there was an oil leak issue and air filter issue that was discovered in the multipoint inspection. They also noted that my timing chain was noisy at startup and that it would need to be diagnosed further to get to the root of the problem. At no time was I told that the car wasn't safe to drive. On november 10, 2013 I noticed that there was a humming sound coming from the car, off and on, and then the passenger side headlight went out. I took the car in to fix the headlight on 11/22/2013, but I wasn't hearing the humming sound then. I started hearing the humming sound again close to thanksgiving (11/26/2013) and planned to take the car back in after the holiday.

1). Transmission - 29,889 mi. To present. Serviced 6 times. Constantly shifts up and down at school zone speed, loud clunk when decelerating at 40 MPH, loud clunk when decelerating in highway exit curve. Dealer says everything is working to specs...nothing fixed. 2). Brakes - 46,363 & 55,204 mi. New front and rear brakes installed. At 73,014 miles van needs new brakes and rotors. 26,651 highway miles. Wallace nissan service said nissan used undersized rotors for vehicle weight and tire size, hence need for frequent replacements. 3). Electrical - 04/05/2010, 64,194 mi. The vdc and ck engine lights came on, van speed very erratic...5 to 40mph all by itself, stalled several times. Dealer computer diagnosis...faulty sensors in crankshaft and camshaft $209.07. 10/03/2011, 72,547 mi. Same vdc and erratic speed. Dealer's initial diagnosis, faulty throttle sensor, installed new sensor...same problem, upon further investigation dealer found the ECM unit was totally corroded and had to be replaced. $962.16. Nissan mechanics say it was a faulty design location of the ECM right under the windshield wiper cowling which allowed water to enter the ECM, corrode it and cause its eventual failure. In subsequent year models of the quest, nissan moved the ECM to a more protected area. 4). Electrical - sliding rear door sensors continue to fail as the door shuts to prevent injury to a person with a hand in the way. Sliding doors continue to rattle even after 6 service visits to fix it. 5). Electrical. Rear hatch motor and lock mechanisms continue to break down even after 6 service visits and $1,164.94 in repair costs. 6). Other problems involve: faulty backup sensors, serviced 4 times $285.88. Same drive belts replaced twice within 26,651 miles and $250.00, leaking sunroof and skylights, nissan had to replace the entire roof because of severe rust. Overall, van is crap!

Last year, the engine stopped while driving. Dealer replaced cpu and told me rats caused the damage. Now, service engine light turns on. Searching on the internet showed that the engine control module that is mounted under the wiper gets wet, becomes corroded, and the car looses control. Who knows what is going to happen next.

It is in the shop right now for issues with handling, the liftgate arm coming out of the door, ABS, slip, traction lights are on all the time, cruise control is inoperable, rear wiper assembly has broken for the second time, front washer fluid is not working. Most notably are the issues with the liftgate and handling. We took the vehicle into the dealer several months ago for both issues. Our liftgate would never open on the first try. They checked into it and kept the vehicle for several days. We were given a rental and told they would pay for it and in the end they charged our credit card for it. They had a tech from nissan fly out to look at it. They informed us that they were waiting on parts. We picked up the vehicle and never heard from them again. The other day I went out to open the door. It had pulled the molding loose and I could see metal shavings at the end of the strut. We have had it in with complaints about the handling before. We suspected that the rotors were to blame. Every time we brought this up we were told that wasn't the case. We were told to replace the brakes to solve the issue. We then replaced all four tires. Nothing has solved the problem. When driving on the highway the steering wheel shakes and the vehicle shudders when the brakes are applied. It has been doing this since approximately 15,000 miles. The AC blow hot if you sit for more than a few minutes with the engine running. If you rev the engine, it just blows hotter. You have to drive around for several minutes to get the AC to blow cold again. We are less than happy with nissan's customer service. We have called them several times and emailed and have had no resolution on any complaint. We have been told by them that a rep will call us and it has never happened.
