CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 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.
Well, I don't really know where to start at other than we are going on our third Nissan transmission as we have a 2014 Nissan Quest S 3.5L V6 that we bought used at a Nissan dealership and paid nearly $14,000 with loan. Right after the 12 month warranty went out the transmission had to be replaced but we didn't take it back to the original place we bought it from because we called them and they told us that there is nothing they can help us with because the warranty just went out. So we took it to a local transmission shop and paid $4378.66 and they said they could only give us a 12 month warranty because they bought the transmission from a Nissan dealership and it was 12 month or 12 thousand miles warranty, so we had no choice!!!
Well, once again right after the warranty went out again, the transmission goes out and we only got 32,637 miles out of it so then we took it to another Nissan dealership to have it diagnosed and it need yet another transmission - which happened to be the same Nissan dealership that the local transmission shop purchased the last transmission from that we purchased!! They diagnosed and said the transmission needs to be replaced which cost us $5295.00, plus other repairs for a total of $7621.41.
Now here we are again at less than 12 thousand miles on the new transmission - and it is once again failing on us and are expected to pay another $5295.00 for another transmission the third transmission, so before it goes out completely we are going to have it put on the machine and expect them to say everything is fine and of course when we leave the transmission will fail again soon completely!!! I know there are other lawsuits out there and this Nissan follows the same years as the judgement was for the plaintiffs but not for this model but same transmission and same years??? Nissan will quit making all CVT TRANSMISSIONS PERIOD IN 2022 and they stopped making the Nissan Quest all together???
I'm out and under over $16,000 dollars because of the Nissan CVT transmissions with the original loan and the other two loans to get this corrected and now have nothing to show for it as it sits in my driveway useless and I have no other vehicles at my disposal!!! I will never buy or drive another Nissan ever and have wasted over $16,000 and still owe all that money to loan companies and the finance departments at Nissan as I could have bought a different car but am completely out of money and have no transportation. I will lose everything because of this, as they will not even accept responsibility for there faulty CVT transmissions not even in court even though they paid out several hundreds of millions of dollars, they still didn't say they messed up!!! What ever, Nissan!!!
