#19 of 2128 Regarding warm/hot air from front vents by quest2k4 Sep 23, 2003 (7:45 pm)
The 3.5 SE Quest with automatic climate control DOES have a problem with hot air blowing from the lower front vents.   I have verified this with anothers via forums like this one and with my dealer's service department.   Symptoms: outside temp 80 inside set at 65 upper duct 60-67 lower floor duct 105-115   Solution: A fellow Quest owner with whom I emailed had the problem fixed by Nissan. It required a new heater system which requires the dash to be removed. He says its close to 100%. All new SE's will have the fix (no idea as of when).   Dealers & Nissan Area Service Reps The car simply too new and many have not had the problem reported. If you have the problem DO NOT let it be. Go and force your dealer to help.   My Story My dealer's service has been great. The minute they heard of the problem they asked that we bring the car asap. They were concerned that it was a safety issue. They gave us a Yukon (hate it) to drive while they investigate. Their inital test lead them to call Nissan. They got the standard answer "that is how it works". In the mean time a second van had the same problem. Our service manager said sorry Nissan that is not good enough. He forced the area Nissan service manager to come down the next day and they did the temperature test (listed above). The area service rep is now trying to find the solution. I did mention above that Nissan does have a fix, but this area's service rep has not heard of the problem or a solution. So he is researching. I expect to have an answer soon. I'll post again.

Thanks quest2k4. I will call nissan and find out. They had given me a ref# few weeks ago and I was told Nissan is working on a fix. I have the same issue with SL but even without turning on A/c if the outside temp is 80 we get hot air through the vent. The rear end seems to work fine. The a/c doesn't cool the front driver/passenger row well.
#21 of 2128 Hello quest2k4! by quest0804 Sep 27, 2003 (9:55 am)
I called Nissan to get update on my Hot air problem.They say still working on a fix.   You had mentioned on the previous msg that you friend got it fixed.   Do you mind giving your friend's email to get more info on his fix?   Thanks
#22 of 2128 Warm Air Update by quest2k4 Sep 27, 2003 (7:06 pm)
Turns out the source that told me he had his Quest fixed emailed that what ever was done by his dealer did not work.   Lastest from Nissan. A fix will be available in six weeks. Look for a recall some time in mid-November.

Does anyone know if this problem specific to the models with the automatic temperature control, or has anyone noticed this problem on the "S" model with no ATC. We are close to buying the "S" model, but now want to check this out again. It sounds very annoying and maybe we should wait until Nissan finds the fix.
#24 of 2128 A/C problems by traveler707 Sep 27, 2003 (9:12 pm)
Is this A/C problems suppose to be in all SE models or only on some of the models? I have a SE, but so far I don't think I have the problems described by others.
#25 of 2128 A/C Problem?!? by shenkar Sep 28, 2003 (3:09 am)
What A/C problem?!? I drove 4 or 5 SL and SE Quests, here in humid, hot Atlanta. Some before this issue(?) was raised on this board, and others after it came up. Haven't seen one yet with this problem(?).   Picked up my new SE yesterday...put 120 miles on it the first day. Also, no A/C problem. Am leaving today for Florida (even MORE hot and humid). Will report on any evidence of this problem(?) when I get back on Thursday.   Oh...and about another complaint aired on this board. A few have griped that the Quest does not cool sufficiently. That is a totally subjective opinion, not a demonstrated fact. I have 3 highline Mercedes-Benz cars, in addition to this Quest (2 S-types and 1 E-type) and the Quest (a mini box-truck) can outcool any of them by a country mile.   So who's right on this issue? To each, his own... What a great vehicle!!
#26 of 2128 Hot Air issue by quest0804 Sep 28, 2003 (10:23 am)
I have SL and experiencing this issue without A/C. It takes about 30 min before the air starts cooling. It was 80 yesterday in Seattle and the van was blwoing hot air. When I turned on A/C it was better but the air was not cool enough.   There is no problem in the rear vents.
#27 of 2128 Whistle noise from the drive rear view mirror by quest0804 Sep 28, 2003 (10:25 am)
has anyone getting whistle noise when you drive above 35 miles from your driver side rear view mirror? If I keep the window open I hear this loud. I asked the dealer he says the aerodynamic design causing this.   I didn't remember hearing this noise when I test drove other Quest Vans. Replies to this message: llegg1 (Jun 17, 2005 10:19 am)
#28 of 2128 Whistles by revracer Sep 28, 2003 (6:28 pm)
I also notice a fairly loud whistle with the driver side window down. Also, when the sun roof shade is open I get a good amount of wind noise on the roof rack with everything else closed up. Not one of the quietest vehicles regarding wind.
