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.
Back on July as I was on the hwy, set my cruise control, for the first time since I've owned my Nissan, at 55mph, the speedometer stopped working, my right headlight went out. Now ever since then, it has gotten worse, I have replaced the right headlight 3 times. I've noticed that when I grab the handle of the turn signal it crackles, and causes the headlights to flicker, and the odometer doesn't work when the speed control is on zero while driving.
The contact owns a 2000 Nissan Quest. The contact was driving at night approximately 45 mph with the headlights on. Suddenly, the headlights became inoperative. The contact maneuvered to the side of the road and then resumed without the headlights. The contact's visibility was extremely limited. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they replaced both headlight bulbs. The failure occurred again after the repair. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable.
Both headlights will not illuminate. The problem is not the fuse as when you push the wires connected to the lights, they will illuminate. As soon as there is any vibration they go out.
I have had to change my headlights repeatedly (going on 3rd time) and my tail light (1 time). In addition, I have problems with my accelerator pedal; it seems to stick, until I apply enough pressure then it takes off abruptly fast, had these same problems (with replacing head and tail lights and accelerator) when I had my 1993 Nissan Quest, but dismissed them. Now I see a correlation with the 2000 Quest I have now. The low profile of my Quest caused my transmission pan to leak fluid, because of a dip in the road. Constant problems when parking due to the front end of my Quest being too low and scraping the curb. Problem with heating system in the rear, only blows out cold air regardless of setting it to heat. There is a very strong gas smell when my car is running (this was also experienced in my 1993 Quest) only compact incident was when my tranmission pan cracked going down the street and going down a dip in the road (not a pot hole). Other than these things I have been very pleased with my purchases, very reliable but these are a few things I've noticed and hope that you will consider my concerns to further be investigated.
