| can someone give me all the codes for the service engine soon light in a 2004 Nissan Quest SE | |

Replying to: deltheking (Apr 16, 2009 8:28 am) Then of course my catalytic converters, first replacement at 18K miles (also engine replaced at that time since my Service Engine Soon light never came on, and by the time the car died the engine had been destroyed by the catalytic converter failure), and then this second replacement at 94K. I have only ever had the car serviced by the dealer and have had most of the oil changes done there, too. Just as another example of how jinxed my particular car is, once I decided to get it detailed at the dealer, you know, trying to make nice with the car and all. The guy backing it into the car wash area ran into a wall and practically knocked off the back bumper. They had to keep my car for two more days while they sent it down the street to a body shop.

Replying to: blarney (Apr 19, 2009 7:26 am) 1.Regarding the squeaks,rattles did the dealer fix the issue??I had mine taken to the dealer as it was only 58k and they used the Rattle TSB to fix it.So now it is ok.But does the problem come back? 2.There is a lot of air and windnoise coming from the driver`s door especially on highways-- like a leak or glass window vibrating.Did u have this?? 3.Steering wheel shake-- I took it to dealer,,he replaced brake pads and rotor under warranty[[ good dealer]]--so now no shake..But does it eventually come back? 4.Also the transmission slips occasionally.I just had an auto trans. flush.Now ,it kind of jerks occasionally on the highway-- like sudden stop and go type of jerk??Did u have this??Is this the cat.converter problem?? Thanks once again.

Replying to: deltheking (Apr 19, 2009 5:44 pm) 1. In my case, the TSB fix seemed to mostly fix it. The car is big, and the seats rattle around a bit, but not to the point of distraction or complete irritation when I'm driving. 2. I'm in constant worry that my drivers side door is going to open when I"m driving down the freeway. I can physically see it rattling, but when I look in my rearview side mirror, it seems to be perfectly aligned with the back sliding door. But my door and window shake something awful sometimes. I live with it. It's almost loose like a cabinet door gets loose. I think I just need to tighten up the screws. 3. It's the brakes. They need to be "done" often. When the shake comes back, time for a brake check. They'll tell you it's because the van is heavy. I think it's because the van is poorly designed and manufactured. 4. I have had the "slip" or mine is more of a "surge" where the rpm suddenly jumps and settles back down almost immediately. Mine occurs mostly when I'm coming off a freeway, slowing down through an offramp curve, and then when I go to accelerate back onto the road. This, in my case, is NOT an indication of the converter problem. My first indicators of a converter problem were noise - pinging, etc. Then, ultimately, the Service Engine Soon light comes on, or of course, the van simply stops going. And, I must say, these problems seem to come in batches. Big problems the first year, nothing for five years, big problems now. During the five years in between, I have loved this van. |

Replying to: blarney (Apr 14, 2009 4:52 pm) Sorry to hear about your problems. I'm in San Diego too. I just had the catalytic converter replaced under warranty. The part if I recall correctly cost about $700 at the dealership (Mossy), definitely not $1689. Did you mean that to be for both parts and labor?

Hi all, you can search my posts if you want to see the problems we have had with our 06 quest: brakes, rattles , trim... so the long and short is after springing for new Yoko's on our 06 quest with only 30K miles on it (good tires, drive funny though) I had a worse shake in the wheel then with the OEM goodyear junk so I brought it back to the tire dealer and they checked everything and found one rotor was 140 deg hotter then the other...caliper was hanging up just a tad. brought it to the dealer who had tried 15+ times to fix the brake/shimmy problems (search my threads) and after much fussing they changed both calipers and boom...6000 miles of shake free good brake driving!!! I am finally happy!!! as for the Yoko's , I find them quite a bit harsher then the Goodyears...kinda make you cringe over the bumps and potholes of upsatate NY . They do handle better though they have an odd tendency to carry the van into a curve rather then letting it roll out like most other cars I am used to. On an onramp to a highway at speed you can take your hands right off the wheel and the van tracks right around the turn, it will even keep going if you dont roll out....very odd but not all that bad...I kinda like it. WE are still battling the passenger door rattle but the last trip to the dealer was probably the finale for that as they had no more things to try and even stuffed a piece of plastic tubing in the door weatherstripping to push on the door some...they said all the adjustment was out of the latch...now something my wife just started complaing about may have signifigance here...she says she hears a thump thump from the back when going over rough roads...sounds to a freind she had with her as a bad strut. we are 500 mi shy of the warrenty going out so I will have to take a drive and see what I can hear but I tought I would ask if anyone else has had strut problems at 35K. |

Replying to: deltheking (Apr 28, 2009 1:26 pm) We just had all 4 brake pads replaced at 38K miles (4 years) at Pepboys for $300 out the door, ceramic on front semi metallic on back. The old ones maybe had 10% life left? The rotors were in very good condition. We'll need to replace the OEM tires too soon. Due to my neglegence, the tires were not rotated untill maybe 15K miles, which caused the two front tires to wear cinsiderably more than the rear two. To delay the replacement, we had the two front ones put on the back a year ago. But I'm thinking it's finally time. We'll most likely replace them with Michelins at Costco this summer. We do hear some slight rattles. But I'm not sure if it's the van itself that rattles or our two car seats and one booster.
