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.

| I bought new in December 2004. Currently have about 9,000 miles. I have experienced about 16 mpg city and 19 mpg hwy. Gas mileage is not anywhere close to what was advertised ( 19 - 26). This has been very disappointing. Van is at dealer today for "creaking" sliding doors, Traction Control System that does not prevent wheels from slipping when accelerating in rain, two dry starts (metal grinding for about three seconds when starting cold) at 2000 miles and 7000 miles, consistent pulling to right after alignment at 5000 miles, popping noise on front right when accelerating normally, and four burned out light bulbs in headliner. The mileage is puzzling. Some in this forum state they are getting 25 mpg or better. The majority seem to be getting worse than advertised. I have been relying on fuel economy computer. I will calculate manually and compare. Has anyone pursued the poor mileage with Nissan? What was the outcome? It may be time to band together and press the issue. Also, be careful with quick lube places. Engine only takes four quarts of oil. Most are in the habit of automatically putting in five quarts. | |

Replying to: samuelg (Mar 20, 2005 6:55 pm) Sorry, I don't have the patience to go back through all 60+ pages of postings to see if anyone has ever gotten this problem fixed, but if somebody has any solutions, or at least something specific I can go to my dealer with, I'd appreciate it. They've done the balancing and rotor repairs twice, with little if any improvement. Has anyone noticed any factors that set the problem off? It seems to happen inconsistantly and unpredictably (as evidenced by my "unsuccessful" test drive), but based on the descriptions I've read here from others, I'm sure it's the same problem, especially the part where the vibration significantly increases when I apply the brakes. I really think I need to get this taken care of, because it's getting to the point the car feels like it's going to fall apart. Sorry about the incoherent rambling. It's late and I need to get to bed. Thanks.
