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.

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!!

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.

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.

Whistles by revracer

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.

Other Problems by shammond1

I have the SE for about 1.5 months now and never had the A/C hot air issue. But I do have 2 noises that drive me crazy. Nothing like a $39K rattle huh. First off there is a very annoying rattle like noise that sounds like it's coming from the column between the driver side slider and driver door. Not sure what it is. Then there is a clunking noise which sounds like it's coming from the passanger side rear wheel/axel area, mainly when the van goes over bumps. I love everything else about the van but I am one of those people that just can't ignore rattles. I think I drive my wife crazy because I am obsessed with the noises -lol. Anyway I have not found time to take it in but I don't expect them to find the source of these noises very easily and of course they probably won't happen when they drive them. Anyone else with these two things?

I did hear a rattling noise also from the driver sliding door side. It took me a while to look, but finally I found that it was loose screw that was rolling around in the sliding tract of the door. You might need a flash light to see it and take it out. No problems after that.

I will give the loose screw theory a try.

Rattles and HVAC by modena2904
Oct 01, 2003 (9:52 am)
We picked up our SE on Saturday.
 
We do not have any of the rattles that people have described. However, the car has developed a squeaking sound that comes from the overhead console. The squeaking sounds exactly like the sound that the overhead bins on an airliner make when in turbulence. I can stop the sound simply by pushing lightly with my hand on the console just in front of where the forward DVD screen is. Going to have the dealer look at it.
 
Our car also has the HVAC symptom that others have described. On a warm day with the a/c on, there is hot air coming out of the floor vents in the front. However, the volume of air is very low -- I wouldn't have ever noticed it if I weren't looking for it.
 
Other than these, the car has been fine -- currently at around 400 miles.

A/C Issue, Noises, Etc. by shenkar
Oct 02, 2003 (8:11 am)
I just picked up my Quest on Saturday, also. Got back today from a 1,300 mile trip. Did not notice any noise specifically from the mirrors, but the general character of the van is not that of a serene ride.
 
There is mucho wind and road noise at all highway speeds. Could be mirriors, roof rack, running boards, tires, insulation, or all of the above.
 
This is one of my main gripes at this point. You can't hold a decent conversation at speed. Nissan needs to work on this area.
 
But then again, this is my first van, so this may be a general characteristic of these refrigerators on wheels.
 
No problem with the A/C blowing anything other than what was requested from it. Much better climate control that either of my 3 Benzes.
