#1174 of 2128 Re: Does Your Quest Do This? [vinhphuc] by garandman Apr 22, 2005 (6:28 pm)
Replying to: vinhphuc (Apr 22, 2005 8:19 am) 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?   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.

Replying to: garandman (Apr 22, 2005 6:28 pm) 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?

Replying to: ord62 (Apr 12, 2005 11:07 am) 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. Replies to this message: ord62 (Apr 28, 2005 1:26 pm)

Replying to: vinhphuc (Apr 22, 2005 8:19 am) 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...

Replying to: sopecreek (Apr 24, 2005 6:21 pm) Yes, it will deploy. The airbag has a weight sensor. Your wife is safe (that is, depending on your driving )

Replying to: sopecreek (Apr 24, 2005 6:21 pm) 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 ?

Replying to: nucrad (Mar 14, 2005 5:04 am) this is the same problem that I am having on my Quest 2005. Both sliding doors give a squeaking sound when I drive. It doesnt happen all the time though. Did you do anything else apart from spraying wd40? Any other ideas?

#1182 of 2128 Re: High Speed Vibration [samuelg] by keibie Apr 25, 2005 (12:53 pm)
Replying to: samuelg (Feb 20, 2005 7:39 pm) Hi Sam, I have the exact same problem that you are referring to. This problem, as well as a braking vibration, surfaced two days after purchasing this vehicle new in June of 2004. Nissan has performed Rack Adjustments, Radial Force & Hunter Balances, Tire Rotations, Rotor Replacement (Aug 2004) and Cutting the Replacement Rotors due to Warp (April 2005). I am currently at 14,000 miles and ten months of ownership, and this driveline front end vibration problem has improved by 50% at best. My additional braking vibration has never improved for longer than a few days. I am considering, due to the results of an independent inspection performed on the Goodyear LS2 tires on my Quest, purchasing a comparably sized tire from a different manufacturer with the hope of acheiving some improvement. I viewed my tires on a Hunter Balancing Machine, and all four tires were slightly out of round. Insufficiently out of round to fail a Radial Force Balance and warrant replacemnt by Nissan, but sufficient to create a moderate high speed vibration. It will not be an easy task to replace these tires because this tire size is unique to the Nissan Quest 3.5S and 3.5SL Models (225/65R 16). This is the only tire on the market at this size, that I have been able to locate. The 215/70R 16 (an option with the use of the OEM wheels) or the 235/60R 16 (an option with upgrading from a 6.5" depth rim to a 7.5" depth rim). Just a few thoughts and ideas. Hopefully some of it is helpful to you.

Replying to: vinhphuc (Apr 25, 2005 9:25 am) Basically, I paid about $600 better than what carsdirect.com came up with. Then again, the dealership charged me that much more for the paint/cloth protection claiming the treatment was already applied to all their vans (does anybody know if this is true for all southeast Nissans or just another **)... I have the receipt for the protection package so I suppose something was applied. The same thing happened last time when I purchased my pickup when the Toyota dealership charged me for Toyoguard or something... Maybe I should have just walked out, but I was exhausted at the time (4 hour long deal) and wanted to get it over with. There was another mishap while signing all the paperworks, but I don't even want to think about it now.
