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. |

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.

| 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. | |
| 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. | |

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. |

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. |

I bought my 3.5SL on 29 Aug. The same day, the fuse controlling all interior "room" lights either blew or was already blown. I put the 4-day old car in for service on 02 Sept 03; fuse was replaced and problem fixed...not! Tonight, 02 Oct, same problem occurred, no interior lights; assume the same cause, i.e., a blown fuse. But what is the root cause of the problem?? Anybody else experiencing this? I shot an email query off to Nissan tonight. And by the way, I haven't noticed the hot A/C problem but I have occasionally heard the unidentified "clunk" coming from somewhere in the rear--possibly only when the 3rd row seat is stowed in its well(?).

Iseram commented in post 2(?) that no sound was coming from the radio. We, too, have experienced the problem intermittently. The temporary fix we have discovered is turning off the car, waiting 10 seconds, and restarting. Fortunately, the problem occurs prior to actually starting the engine, so, when you turn the key once, wait a few seconds to make sure you have sound, then start her up. Yes, we brought it in to our dealer, they were unable to locate the problem. Fortunately, we had a recurrence in the neighborhood, and was able to bring it in with the radio sans volume. Of course, we are still at the "that's really weird" stage at the dealer, but at least they have witnessed it, and, thus, future customers will not have to prove they are not crazy! We do love the car, though, no rattles, heat from a/c, extremely quiet (easy conversation between first and third row seats at highway speeds). We're up to 1100 miles, made our first long trip, (4 hours each way), and still enjoyed getting back in the car. Whoops, should save my review for another discussion! Vince |
