CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Nissan Quest is great in terms of low complaints, but it also has an abysmal crash test rating for one very common type of impact.
The IIHS' "small overlap" crash test rates the vehicle's ability to protect front seat passengers when the car is impacted across 1/4th of the front bumper.
This mimics hitting a pole, or an off-center crash into another car — more common in the real world than a full frontal head-on crash.
See our crash test page for the detailed results — As you can see from the IIHS' crash test video, the Nissan Quest does not protect intrusion into the passenger space & major injury to the front seat passengers is likely.
Purchased the vehicle with a Nissan Security +Plus Gold Preferred (VSC) Vehicle Service Contract 84 months/120,000 miles.
The warranty is still good till March 2020 or 120,000.
Today is February 4, 2019, our vehicle has 100,600 miles, our vehicle needs a new transmission at a cost of $4500.00 AND a rental vehicle while our van is being repaired, however, Nissan Extended Services North America or the (NESNA) is refusing to pay for the repairs!!! Stating a clause in the VSC!
Our vehicle was NOT and HAS NOT been in an accident! We take excellent care and all proper maintenance has been performed on this vehicle! Therefore, the "clause in the VSC they are claiming is cause for them to deny payment for the repairs does NOT apply in this case and the warranty is solely responsible for payment of repairs of our transmission which is covered under the VSC!
Jerking motion: Sudden twitching and oscillating motion of acceleration and deceleration. After Driving normally for about 10~30 mins, it happens at about 2000 rpm ~ 2500 rpm on uphill (with accelerator gentry pressed down). It stops when I release the accelerator, when the engine comes down to below 2000 rpm. It is highly disturbing and dentures experience, especially when it happens on Taconic NY State Park-way (winding up and down road at 55 mph speed limit).
After stepping on the accelerator at a red light, our van moved forward a tad, and then just stopped (as if it were in neutral). Eventually it made a huge JOLT and started moving again. This happened two other times in the same trip. Likely an issue with the transmission
