Oil "Pit" display and disc error by jim6517
Apr 26, 2005 (5:15 am)
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.

Quest Purchase by plashenick

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

The paint protection seems to be clearcoat only. It's supposed to keep the shine longer... I can't even tell whether it was actually applied or not
It's made by Permaplate (www.permaplate.com).

To get rid of the "Pit" notice, you need to reset the maitenance reminder - just changing the oil doesn't automatically reset it. The disc error probably needs a trip to the dealer, unfortunately.

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.

The drama continues by plashenick

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.

2005 Nissan Quest 3.5 - Poor Mileage by ricklaugh
Apr 27, 2005 (7:06 am)
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.

Did you ever get the creaking sliding doors sound fixed? My 2005 Quest is having the same problem.

Hi. I just found this board, and it's a relief to see I'm not alone in having these problems (high speed vibrations and no radio sound). My dealer was really quick to replace the radio since they admitted they had received many reports on this problem, but I'm getting the "we can't fix it if we can't confirm it" response on the vibration. They claim to have test drove it several times, and I took them on a test drive once (of course the problem didn't arise). I think they believe me, but with this many people reporting the problem you'd think Nissan would be on top of this.
 
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.

I also just bought new Quest 3.5S and i notice a noice from power sliding door, I went to dealer and service guy fixed it. It does not make noice now. He told me that they had this problem with 2004 and it suppose to be fixed in 2005.
