CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 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.

I was driving my 2013 Nissan Quest, when without any warning it stop accelerating, it would nit go forward or backwards. I was stuck in the middle of traffic with a car full of my family this is very dangerous. I noticed that when the A/C is on the car will move forward or backwards. This is dangerous and when moving and you turn right or left the van stops accelerating with out anywarning no check engine nothing. This problem needs to be fixed before a hole family losses there life due to faulty warning and the transmission not working like it should, it sounds like this is an issue with a lot of the same model vans.
This issue is happening on a city street, both at a stand still and in motion. Also going both straight and turning. Extremely dangerous!! out of nowhere I will have my foot on the gas pedal, and it almost seems like no gas is getting into the system. My foot will be on the gas, and nothing will happen. The RPM gauge won't even move. It's especially scary when this happens mid-turn.
We purchased a 2013 Nissan Quest in November 2015. It had around 48-49K miles on it and currently has 99K miles on it. While driving it yesterday, it began to violently shake upon acceleration between 0 and 45mph. It felt exactly like driving over rumble strips. We took it to the closest mechanic, who test drove it before pulling it into the garage to check the axels. When he went to put it in reverse to back it out of the garage, the transmission completely quit. The mechanic informed us at that point that Nissan with the cvt transmission were notorious for having these types of issues. No check engine or transmission lights ever came on.
