Videotape and Hitches

I too had an intermittent issue with the sliding door not latching in the cold last winter. So I started videotaping the problem and took the video to my service manager. After about 2 minutes she agreed it was a problem and fixed it. This was about 2 months before they issued the recall on the latches so it was not yet a well known issue. Now with another issue I said "would you like to see a video" and they said no, they believe me.
So, I know it's a pain but carry your video camera with you and hopefully you can get some evidence on tape.
I got my hitch from U-Haul, they did a good job.

Hi,
I'm new in this forum but since we plan to look at the Quest, I have one concern. What's the weight limit for the front passenger airbag to deploy in an accident? My wife is rather petite, and weights about 105-107 lbs. I can live with the lights on (or off, it doesn't matter to me), but I must know that if she sits in front with me, she's safe. Do you or anybody knows about the weight matter?

I'm pretty sure it's 80 lbs.
But the whole point of the sensor is that if she's not heavy enough to trigger it, she's safer without it.

Do you mean, will it deploy, or not? It will, but if she has her seat belt tight it won't matter becaue it won't touch her anyway.
From racing I got in the habit of pulling my seatbelt tight across my pelvis, moving clothing layers out of the way as necessary.
In 1995 I was hit head on by a drunk driver (at 12:30 on a Monday afternoon - so beware), both cars travelling around 30 mph. Both airbags deployed, but the one in the steering wheel never touched me because the belt held me in place.
Of course, because those wonderful safety devices called airbags deployed, and ripped the dashboard in the process, his insurance company had to pay an extra $2,300, with absolutely no benefit to me.

thank you. So when my wife and I go to test drive the Quest, we'd better make sure to have her sit in the passenger seat, and see that the light go off, right? Now on another slightly different matter, has anyone in the Rockville, MD area recently bought a Quest 05 SE? I'd like to know your paid price and what options you got. We plan to buy a minivan within 3 weeks. I posted a similar message in the "Paid prices and buying experience" but got no answer. Maybe some new Quest owner having problems on their vans are reading this board and can share their info with me? Edmunds TMV price indicates ~32K for a SE with DVD system, running boards and floor mats (these are the options we chose), is it reasonable to think I may get it for about 31.5K or less?

I am currious is the only reason that you were awarded a replacement was because of the tire?? Did you have any other problems? I have had more problems with it then I can even count on my fingers and toes..... No joking. I went to BBB and was declined of an award of replacement or lemon. Now I am still fighting Nissan. As we speak it is back in the garage again and has been there for a week for a noise that they have no idea what it is.

I just purchased 2005 Quest SL. When the front passenger seat is not occupied, I see the airbag-off sign comes on and stays on. When my wife is sitting on it, (she weighs 102-105 lbs), the sign disappears. I suppose that means the airbag will deploy...

Yes, it will deploy. The airbag has a weight sensor. Your wife is safe (that is, depending on your driving )

How much did you pay for your Quest 05 SL? As you may have noticed, I've had trouble getting this info although I posted it in this board as well as in "Price paid and buying experience". Should I take it as a sign that new owners of Quest 05 are very happy with their vans, don't have any problems and therefore stop reading these discussion boards ?
