I wish it was that obvious, something I overlooked. But the thing is the coolness of the air that the a/c is blowing. I dont know how else to put it. I have a 2001 Infiniti and when you turn the air on its throwing like freezing air at you, the quest doesnt. One more reason why I dont like the quest, should have gone with what I wanted (the Odyssey) rather than what the wife wanted (the Quest)

Check this site, and click on "body structure doors"
 
I am not sure if thsi will help. If not, GOOGLE Nissan Quest TSBs and see if you can come up with something.
I will try to find the site I used before and send it later if I find it.

I could not find the full TSB on line, but call your dealer and ask for TSB#03080B and see if you can get a copy.
You might ask him if he adjusted your doors by this TSB. I believe this is the one you are looking for. Let us know how you make out on this problem.

There was a TSB on the 2004 Quests. But I thought it was corrected for 2005.
 
This will sound weird but try your AC on the bi-level setting and see how that works. And turn off the rear AC. I had issues with my AC during the first year and the past two summers the AC has been excellent. I'm not sure if the dealer did something during one of the service visits but no complaints anymore. Actually kids complain about it being too cold.
 
If the obvious things do not work, take it to the dealer to get it checked.

I had an '04 SL and had the same complaint since taking delivery in August of '03. Not only did the A/C not cool well, but warm air dumped out of the floor vents onto my feet constantly, even when the vents were off. There's a TSB about this and they did it, but it still sucked.
 
Recently I traded it for an '06 SE, and things couldn't be more different. I don't know if the SE is a "Wednesday" car or if there was a running engineering change or what, but this A/C gets things cold and keeps them cold. No complaints so far, and it's been blast-furnace hot in my area.
 
My suspicion on the '04 is that there was a valve somewhere for the heater core that wasn't properly shutting off, so I was getting heat all the time. But the dealers either wouldn't or couldn't verify.
 
I recently picked up a copy of the service manual, so I might have a look to see if anything sounds plausible, but I'm not touching the '06 since it works.

"A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." Have you taken it to the dealer? This is NOT normal.
 
We took a trip from Ontario to Boston in 95 degree heat, sunny, and 6 people in the Quest. It cooled everyone admirably, and averaged 25.9 mpg going 75 mph. The Odyssey forum is full of folks complaining about lower than expected MPG, BTW.
 
However, what DOES seem to be normal is that folks don't read the owner's manual about using the "Max AC" setting, or about using recirculate mode to improve cooling performance and mpg.

One other thing to check might be the cabin air filter, the one mounted inside the car behind the glovebox in the air duct. when they get dirty, it can really cut down the air flow. I just changed them in both of our cars and it made a big difference.

Thank you. That is the site I was looking for. I think I gave the gentleman the wrong TSB number, but if he looks through here he can find the correct one.

Interesting problem today by plashenick
Aug 31, 2006 (4:27 pm)
My wife was at the mall and the power sliding door (pass) on our 04SL was not opening well. She had it on manual because it was behaving badly earlier on remote closing. The door, now, would not shut properly. All of a sudden the body panel (right / rear) above the sliding track pops off, except where it is connected next to taillight. She cannot put it back and is afraid if she drives it might damage panel / lower quarter panel.
 
She called the dealership who came out and mostly popped it into place. The car was going in for oil change anyway. The dealership says they will take care of this (re-paint if necessary). They also said this is not the first time they have seen this. We have 36.5k
 
Anyone ever had this problem?
