Infinity with a Nissan Badge
assembly, Montgomery, AL, 02/23/2012
2012 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I wasn't sure about the Quest when my wife took me to look at it.
I walked away from it to be honest.
When I went back the WOW factor kicked in.
This is an Infinity with a Nissan badge.
It has all the stying you'll ever want or need.
I have the top of the line model but lesser models are equally impressive.
Nissan got it right!
I'd give this van a hard look.
The price is definately … right.
Poor quality, high maintenance costa
Jamey Eklund, Barrington, IL, 01/27/2019
2012 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Quest was a reasonable choice, but shortly after basic warranty expired, it has had numerous repairs. Transimision failure should be a class action law suit - ours failed at 80K. The bumper is so soft, bends in if you sneeze on it. Front passenger and drivers side trim panels are falling off with time and vibration.

2012 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
It is comfortable and easy to drive. Mechanical quality is beyond poor. So far, we have replaced transmission, solenoid, ball joint, alternator, sensors... the airconditioning system died, warranty declined to repair as said due to road damage. Bluetooth doesn’t connect. Plastic is falling off of the doors. Passenger door seal is leaking so moldy inside. I’ve never seen a car that goes … through set of tires in less than 10000 miles.
We will keep the car for another year to drive the kids to practices around their school.
I will never own another Nissan or infinity vehicle.
Unsafe van
Lisa, Ashburn, VA, 06/18/2022
2012 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Van shakes, shudders, stalls, won't accelerate, goes into limp mode, etc. This is my 4th Nissan and it will be my last. At 95,000 miles the transmission failed. Contacted Nissan. They won't assist customers unless it's part of a class action settlement. Nissan needs to be held accountable for manufacturing vehicles with defective parts. I'm the mother of 3 young kids. I need a safe & … reliable vehicle. Filed a complaint with NHTSA. Submitted a request to class action.org.
