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.
The 2005 Nissan Quest had a recall that prevented injury when folding down the middle seats. The NHTSA campaign numbers were 05V474000 and 05V480000. After having this recall performed on my vehicle, it is now almost impossible to attach a child restraint tether to the tether anchor point. I believe that the fix for this recall has caused an even more serious safety problem than the one it attempted to fix.
I own a 2005 Nissan Quest minivan. The 2 seats in the middle of the van have curtains on the all around the bottom of the seat. These are constantly coming undone and spread out on the floorboard of the van. They are a tripping hazard and my daughter has tripped over them and fallen out of the van and landed on concrete. According to the dealer, the only recall is on the seats in the rear which they have repaired. I was informed to contact Nissan directly and they just referred me back to a dealer (the run-around!!)these curtains do not stay put and someone needs to fix them permanently before some child is seriously hurt.
We received a recall letter from Nissan on a seat problem on our 2005 Quest [xxx] launched in October 2005. Here it is end of March 2006 and I have not been able to get the defect repaired because of lack of availability of parts for my vehicle. I have called both the local dealer and the corporate office of Nissan and so far nobody has been able to tell me when the part will come in. The corporate office has not returned repeated requests for return calls. When I call I was given a file number of [xxx] and was supposed to get a call from a "specialist" named ronnie but I am still waiting.
