I just replaced all the motor mounts on my 2007 Nissan Quest. They have gone bad again. After looking up many forums online, this appears to be a very common issue and possible design flaw. Why has this not become a recall on Nissan's part" are motor mounts not a concern" everyone is stating that no matter what they use, either aftermarket or genuine Nissan parts, they all fail.
My 2007 Nissan Quest with144,500 miles, has a real bad clunking sound when accelerating, decelerating, or taking off from a standstill. A mechanic told me that it is from bad motor mounts. When accelerating or braking, the motor moves a lot. It does not make any more noises when turning, mainly win braking and accelerating, but also when the transmission shifts up or down a gear.
After purchasing this vehicle and driving home the check engine light came on the vehicle engine reved up but didn't move then it continued to drive every now and then it did this. No horn no air bags suspension then felt funny.

My van has 120K miles on it. For the past one year, I have been dealing with a rattle sound in the engine. It comes on a cold start and would go away after a couple of minutes. My mechanic took a look and said these Nissan engines have a known issue with the timing chain. Lately the rattle sound keeps coming for more than 5 minutes. I am afraid this will cause some other problem in the engine that would stall the engine while running on the road. Nissan should issue a recall and fix this timing chain issue, which it already knows about.
Transmission jerks/slips between gears on daily basis. This just appeared in the spring and has been an ongoing/increasing problem since then. Have taken car to mechanic at least 3 times and asked for resolution. Mechanics have been unable to replicate or fix the problem. It is especially prevalent if take foot off gas, coast, then put foot on gas again. Sometimes the jerk is severe enough to affect the people sitting in the car. It seems like eventually the car will just not engage and I'll have to leave it on side of road.
We were headed out on a 2400 mile trip and wanted to make sure our van was ready. First issue was the struts. Got those fixed. A week later we were back in because of engine noise and they fixed the timing chain and tensioners. A few days later again because of engine noise we found out the wheel bearing needed fixed.
Timing chain and tensioner began to fail around 105,000. Cost to replace was $2166.57. I was under the impression that timing chains were supposed to last longer than that amount of time.
At about 50,000 miles the engine started emitting a white smoke, I took to several certified mechanics and all of them said it needs an engine overhaul with no gurantee that the white smoke will disappear, the vehicle does not consume coolant or motor oil and has no head gasket engine damage
1.vechicle run out of gas even though it showed it had 1/4 tank and displayed 24 miles before empty. Was stuck in the middle of high speed traffic without any warning. 2. vechicle vibrates when driving 40 miles seem to be defective transmition. 3.vechicle as loud noise coming from timing chain area. According to mechanic this is a costly and known issue with Nissan. Where timing chain guide as permature ware causing time chain to become loose and cuase noise could become a safety issue.
I purchased my 2007 Nissan Quest SE January of 2014 and after about a year of ownership, the van started to make the now infamous timing chain rattle noise upon cold starting the van. It would eventually go away after 10 minutes or more, but its really annoying to have to listen to this loud noise every time I start my van, and Nissan should be held accountable and offer a free permanent fix to this problem.
Secondary timing chain is going out. 116,000 miles we should not have to replace this yet!!! we cannot drive the vehicle for fear of it messing up the entire engine. This is a $4,000 repair! many many many other Nissan owners are experiencing the same issue.
While taking my son to school on 1-27-2016, my wife called me and said her car just quit and won't start. Luckily I was off work that day and was able to tow the minivan home. Thinking it was a minor issue we took it to a mechanic for repair. I expected them to change a fuel filter or maybe a fuel pump but I was shocked to hear that the timing chain had broken and is going to need major repair. At only 85000 miles this should not be an area of concern. After some research I've found many lawsuits against Nissan regarding this issue. Nissan knew about the problem but kept installing the faulty components. They have not issued any recalls and won't do anything to remedy the problem, even when I spent an extra 3500 dollars for the extended warranty. I realize there is naturally going to be problems with vehicle, but something of this magnitude is not what your thinking about with under 100,000 miles. For Nissan to be aware of the problem and not address or correct the fault is shameful. Not only did they not correct the problem, they kept knowingly using the faulty components for years. Our whole society seems to be relegated to cutting corners, at the expense of others, to get ahead; no matter what the consequences are.
A hose that moves antifreeze coolant into vehicle I believe to be caked a vacuum hose fell off causing coolant to leak out completely... in addition the vehicle accelerates for no reason and jerks.. I was told to replace ask motor mounts which I did and still issue persists.. now check engine light is on and stating the solenoids in transmission need to be replaced... van loses power unexpectedly.. this happens while driving mostly at low speeds
