This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I've had a 1995 Nissan Quest since April 2002. Last winter ('02/'03) and now this winter, when I turn on the heater and/or defrost, the gas smell inside the van has been completely intolerable. I have to drive in cold weather with the windows down to keep me and my family from passing out from the gas smell. When the weather is warm there is no problem, but as soon as it gets cold, we drive with the windows down. Unacceptable!!!
Crank shaft broken when Nissan dealer try to change timing belt. The next day I call aaa tow my Quest to arco gas station. The technician of arco found the crank shaft was broken but already broken about 1/2 before I drove to dealer to change timing belt. The new 1/2 broken probably caused by after removing timing belt and crank shaft bolt. The pulley is too heavy for crank shaft to hold it. So when Nissan's technician try to remove crankshaft pulley, the pulley drop with broken piece of crank shaft. It happen at milage 89,000. Crank shaft suppose will never broken during normal driving.
