Replying to: samuelg (Feb 20, 2005 7:39 pm) 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) 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. |

Replying to: quest2005 (Apr 25, 2005 9:54 am) The Quest has a rubber seal between the slider and front door to seal it tight. I don't like power doors partly because you can't "motivate" them to close tightly. But I noticed that if you open the front door, close the slide, then close the front door, almost all the nois goes away. If you then spray the rubber seal with spray silicone lubricant, they won't make any noise at all. We regularly drive down a horribly bumpy road so all our cars get some sort of treatment like this....

After 3300 miles the oil maintenance light comes on in Nav Display. I could back out of the warning and did change the oil. Not only did the "Pit" flag linger, it stayed. Navigation will not function-gets a disc error on the screen. Other functions not relating to Navigation work fine. Is there a default function that I could perform, or am I stuck going to the dealer, Kerry Nissan in Florence,KY, whose staff(the great majority) give car dealers a bad name. Other dealership is too great a distance.

Just my two cents: $600 for 'paint" / cloth protection is a lot: I am not sure what "Paint" protection is; Clearcoat? or Undercoating Rustproofing? As for cloth protection; you can get the same level of protection with a $5 an of Scotchgaurd. As for Rustproofing cars have not needed extra proofing since the 70's. This looks like a dealer looking to make extra money; hence, "We have this done for all our cars" response

| Pardon my ignornance, but Clearcoat, over a clearcoat finish from the factory? I believe the car comes with clearcoat. I hate to say this but it looks like a bit of over-doing it by the dealer. | |

Had my 2004 SL in for the second round of Customer Service initiaitive 1) Ball joint for rear hatch 2) 2nd row seat shifters 3) Anti-rattle work: looks like they repeated the work done last year, but it did seem quieter 4) Some other little itmes I cannot think of Additonally 1) Had the front brake rotors re-surfaced (17,000 miles) 2) Backup sensor is on the fritz. They have to replace it, not sure how long this will take Hopeflly I will not have the working of a nother lemon-law case. I won the first, and hate to repeat.
