#1485 of 2475 Feedback on quality issues and rebates by srikanth2305

Mar 14, 2005 (11:31 am)

We are considering a quest and want to know the following details.
 
Is the build quality still an issue. I heard that Consumer report lists the new quest as one of the worst ones and also read that nissan has made a lot of progress in terms of build quality. So how is the 05 model, is it improved a lot or still have issues?
 
Nissan is offering $2000 rebate on quest now. Will it improve during the year end model clearance or is this the best they come up with?
 
Thanks in advance.

#1486 of 2475 Side Sun Shade for '05 Quest by toronto1968

Mar 14, 2005 (11:47 am)

We love our '05 Quest, but my younger son when in his child seat is blinded by the sun on the big sliding door windows. The Oydessy and Sienna all have a pull down shade. I have gone to my local Automotive store but can't find anything big enough or dark enough. Does anyone else have this problem? and if so, do they have a creative solution?
Thanks

Try Toys R US or some other children stores to find a cover for the window. They probably have a wider selection then an auto part store. You may even consider getting your windows professionally tinted.

It appears that Nissan has addressed all the major problems regarding the Quest for 2005. If you are not in a hurry, you may want to wait another month or two and check if any 2005 folks have chimed in.

Thanks, I will do that. The window has a good tint now from Nissan. What I really need is the ability to block the side completely on really sunny days.
 
Thanks again

#1490 of 2475 '05 Quest ceiling vents by toronto1968

Mar 14, 2005 (1:50 pm)

I can't seem to get any real air out of the vents on the ceiling in the roof of my 05 Quest. Is there a 'trick' to getting a good stream of air through these vents?
 
Thanks in advance

I believe the ceiling vents (2nd & 3rd row) are controlled by the small knob on the center console. It depends on whether there is warm or cold air blowing (main HVAC button).

The small knobs on the dash does control the rear vent spped and temp. Remember that warm air always blows from the bottom and cold air always blows from the top. So if you have the rear temp set on RED (hot), then there will be no air coming from the roof. I'm guessing that since it is winter, that might be what you are describing. Try turning the temp to blue/cold and the fan all the way up and see if you get a good flow of air.

We have a 2005 SL we bought in December. It now has almost 5,000 miles on it - it's a company car.
 
It's been great, we like it better every day, and the last six tanks of gas have averaged over 22 mpg. This seems to be quite good for a full-size minivan in winter.
