Re: 2011 Nissan Quest [fxguy]
I really like these vans, but have a major concern with the reliability of them. The 2005 i own burns oil and needs the top end of the motor rebuilt at 75K miles, luckily i can do this myself.. bad piston rings this early are not a good sign, after i'm done i am selling it, and going to drive my older Toyota Sienna. I have a lot of friends with ... Read More

Re: You CAN buy a new van for $20K (approx) [grrldriver]
Let me start with this, before i end up getting everyone on here jumping on my back.. I drive about 100-150K miles a year. I work in the IT field as a tech that needs a van to carry equipment around. I tend to buy minivans because they are easier to see out of then wagons, get better MPG then SUV's and are easier to park then cargo vans. With that ... Read More

Re: Used Nissan Quest, expected life/milage [dtownfb]
Actually we have been a Nissan fan for some years. Let's see, Had a 1991 Maxima, then 1993 Sentra, then 1996 Pathfinder, then a 2004 Maxima in 2004, then we down sized for a 2000 maxima. When we found out that we were expecting our first baby, we upgraded to a 2005 Nissan Murano in 2008, then realized, that we didn't need an SUV so down sized I guess to a ... Read More

Re: Our 2005 Quest SL [deltheking]

We also had the rear shocks replaced because we thought the rears were worn but it didn't change the ride at all....kinda like you're afraid it'll bottom out. Luckily it doesn't actually bottom ...

The new Quest has traction control, but with the stock tires provided the traction control renders the van worthless on a steep incline such as a driveway when the snow gets deep.

Re: Nissan Quest 2004+ Brakes [cirruss]
I think most owners of 2004 Quests had brakes replaced before 40k miles. Most had the rotors replaced as well. The Quest has electroic brake distributin (EBD). During hard braking, the computer applies the forces over each brake to avoid the nose dive effect and allows the van to stop shorter. This also means that your rear brakes are working more than in a car without EBD. So the rear brakes ... Read More

Looking through the 05 Honda Odyssey boards, it appears that vehicle has its own share of quality issues. What is everyone's overall feeling of the 05 Quest? Has Nissan put their problems behind them? I have an 02 Altima ... Read More

Tow Package question
Hello all, I bought a 2005 Quest last week and have no regrets. I looked at a ton of minivans, and it boiled down to Honda, Toyota and Nissan. I liked the style of the Nissan the best, and it seems that feature for feature it was less than the Toyota or Honda. In any event, I got a great deal on a 2005 since they were trying to clear those ... Read More

Re: New Bulletin on the AC by dtownfb
Understand. For those wondering what the post was about, there is a new TSB that came out for the Quest with A/C not cold problem. The Hi/Low A/C line may have rubbed on the front stabilizer bar and caused a hole. You can find the TSB at Nissanhelp. TSB# is 05071 Component: AIR CONDITION: Summary: 2004-2005 NISSAN QUEST; A/C NOT COLD – REFRIGERANT LEAK FROM FRONT TUBE

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors [geaux_tigers]
We have an 04 Quest and had the rotors turned at around 12K already. Buddy at work has a Titan and they told him that Nissan is aware, but won't admit, that the rotors are too small for vehicles. They cannot dissipate the heat sufficiently so they eventually warp. Might want to see if they will discuss this, they probably won't.

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors [billy8]
13500 miles on my 04 SE. Had the brake issues. The dealer did the rotor work on all four (charged me for front only, their mistake). Seems to have fixed the problem. Nissan Customer service said I was beyond the 12,000 mile brake warranty therefore it was not covered. Fought the issue but they would not budge. I find it very strange that this happened on a relatively new vehicle especially ... Read More

Re: 2004 Quest - Nissan buyback? [qltypck]
I had a buyback and it advantageous if you have lower accumulated miles. If you are moving to a 2005 which sells at a lot cheaper now with sales going on you may not need to shell out any more. Maybe the dealer is selling the 2005 to you at MSRP wherein you can get it at 4K to 8K lower than MSRP. It should be the Price Paid (including taxes ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors [cirruss]
Here's my saga...Got the tires rotated for the second time (16k on 04 SL). First time it was because steering wheel shook. Second time, didn't shake until outside shop rotated tires. Took to Nissan. They turned the rotors and said my front tires were out of round (oval instead of circular - Goodyear Eagles LS2). Said they couldn't do anything, tires should be under warranty, no expense. Finally found a shop ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors [derekjason]
Any brake or tire shop can put a device on your rotors to check for high spots or run out that would cause vibration in the steering wheel. It sounds like your dealer may not have purchased the Nissan mandated Pro-Cut rotor lathe yet. Ask them if they have this machine. If you are going to buy tires have that shop check your rotors first, I bet they are the problem.I ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors
How much tread you still have on your tires? If it's a tire problem (according to your dealer 'Nissan'), then take it to a Goodyear dealer have them prorate the tires when you get the replacement. Like you said, you rotate them to schedule, so you are not at fault for neglecting these tires. If Goodyear dealer say it's not the tire, then you tell your Nissan dealer to talk to ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors [billy8]
Thanks for all your help and research on this topic. I took my '04 Quest into the dealer at 7:30 this morning. The fellow who wrote up the problem again mentioned the brakes as the probable cause, but the guy who actually worked on the van said it was feathering in the tires due to them being out of balance and suggested replacing all four tires. He didn't say anything about ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors
As I am reading about dealers machining rotors to fix the vibration problem, to me this is a short term band aid fix. Obviously, when the vehicle was brand new, it didn't have this problem, which means the rotors are good. So after a short time of ownership, the rotors gets heated and cooled repeatedly and eventually warps. The rotor is basically a big mass of a heat sink (to dissipate ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors [derekjason]
Yes my dealer, Morries Nissan, Brooklyn Park, MN knew all about the problem with the rotors on the new Quest.Its the same problem the Titan and Armada have. The dealer resurfaced the rotors on warranty in one hour for free. They used the Pro-Cut hub mounted on vehicle brake lathe. This is the only machine that will do the job correctly almost 100% of the time. You must make sure your ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Warped Rotors [billy8]
We have a 2004 Nissan Quest that has had the same vibration problem for awhile. We assumed poor tire balance. Last Wednesday, we took the van in to the dealer for scheduled tire rotation and got the tires balanced. Vibration didn't go away. Called dealer and they actually mentioned "warped rotors," which at the time sounded like b.s. I guess it's not! Do I understand you to say they fixed your ... Read More

2005 Quest Warped Rotors

Vibration in Floor/Pedals at 2000RPM
We just bought the 2005 Quest SL and we love it... with one exception. When driving at 2000 rpm (either accelerating or decelerating to), there is a vibration in the floor coupled with a louder than normal torque/rev sound. Although it's not as significant as some of the vibration problems that I have read, it's certainly annoying. I took it back to the dealer and I drove 2 other 05 SL's ... Read More

Re: Whats custom in your 2004-2005 Quest? [vq35de]
Hi, I'm glad I found your post since I asked if anyone has recently replaced their tires on the 05 Quest SE, but got no reply so far. Can you tell me when you replace the original set of tires with the current ones (mileage)? Did the original tires wear out as badly as some people experienced (as posted in the board "Problems &Solutions")? BTW I also have the Myron&Davis DVD ... Read More

curtain airbags
Has anybody read this article on Edmunds?: Who benefits from side and head airbags? It says: "For example, the 2004 Nissan Quest offered a head curtain airbag that covered only the first and second rows, even though it offered third-row seating. For 2005, the head curtain airbag in the Quest is large enough to protect all three rows." Is this true? I was under the impression that the 2004 has curtain ... Read More

Brakes/Steering Wheel Vibrations - Final Update (hopefully)
I've posted a couple of times before regarding this problem (posts # 1193 & 1221 if anyone is interested), and I think I've finally gotten it fixed (knock on wood). Here's a summary of my adventures. It's long but bear with me; hopefully it will help other having this problem. My 2004 Quest (purchased in May, 2004) now has about 16,000 miles on it. I had intermittant problems with the steering ... Read More

Re: 2005 Quest Power Hatch Problem [rick223]

2005 Nissan Quest
I have a 2005 Nissan Quest that is less than 2 months old. We discovered a whistling noise coming from the driver side when the AC is on recirculation. Has anyone else had this problem? If you did, was the source of the problem found? The Dealership has had the van for 4 days and still has no clue as to what it is.

Air conditioning, etc.
I've been reading alot of the posts here, and thought I'd weigh in on a few of the recurring topics. We bought our '04 Quest last summer, and from the very start were disappointed with the cooling of the a/c. Tepid, at best, when outside temps were above 80 degrees. Not what I'd have expected from a new car I'd just spent ~ $25K on. We never experienced the "hot air ... Read More

2005 Nisan Quest 3.5S
We recently purchased a 2005 Nissan Quest 3.5S and we've been really happy as well. It seems that people who purchase the Quest love it and people that don't like the Quest hate it. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground. So far we haven't had any problems other than an intermittent rattle in the sliding doors. We also purchased the power package which isn't standard on the 3.5S in ... Read More
