#41 of 2128 Whistle noise from the drive rear view mirror by quest0804 Oct 05, 2003 (11:28 am)
I had posted this a week ago.   I do get this noise a lot. I was told the same by my dealer. If you notice the position of passenger side mirror is in different angle than the driver side. May be if they can do the same angle for Drive side it might fix the issue. That means they have replace the entire mirror fixture (the black holder). Not sure if Nissan can do it.
#42 of 2128 Rattles again!!! by pantru Oct 05, 2003 (3:28 pm)
I have a 2004 Quest SL which I bought 1.5 months back. I already have 2500 miles on it. The only noticeable problem that I have is RATTLING noises when you go even on a small bump. I think it is coming from either left or right sliding doors. Even I think it is not acceptable for a brand new vehicle. I feel as though I am driving an old vehicle because of these noises.   Can anything be done about it? Has anyone contacted dealer/Nissan consumer affairs? Please post if you have done so.
#43 of 2128 Rattling isssue by iserum Oct 05, 2003 (6:36 pm)
I have experienced the rattling coming from both sliding door when you hit a hard bump. there is a rattling noise comes out from driver side sliding door all the time if the road is uneven, I did not notice whistling problem (reflection on the wind screen) i don't know what is the solution to this, the angle of the wind screen is causing it though. I went to the dealership for rattling issue, they are not aware of the problem, they asked me to leave the van, they will tweak the door.   I will wait until Nissan issue a service bulletin for the issue so that dealership will not experiment with my vehicle.   I recommend to people to wait a bit until Nissan issues service Bulletin for these problems do not leave you car at the dealership for experiment.   Honda Odyssey had lot of problems with the doors in first couple years of production, not all but lot of people have problems with Odyssey sliding doors.   Check out 2004 Toyota Sienna problem page, you will not feel that bad then.
#44 of 2128 Rattling issues..me too by snoopy1010 Oct 05, 2003 (9:57 pm)
I also have the problem of the rattling noise with my SE. It is in the driver side slider door. I have my SE about 2 weeks ago. I noticed the noise when I drove the SE back to home (which I did not notice the noise when I tested drove it?!). I dropped my SE to the dealer within the week to fix the problem, however, the dealer didn't fix it properly. I dropped my SE to the dealer last thursday and it seems that this time the problem has been fixed. The dealer told me that they had followed the Technical Service Bulletins (NTB03080) to examine the problem.   But when I drove my SE yesterday with all the windows closed and A/C off, I still heard the rattling noise from the driver side slider door. But it was less noticeable than before.   Based on the Technical Service Bulletins, I believe the dealer did find the source of the problem and Nissan knew the problem as well.   I guess all I can do is to bring my SE back to dealer next week and get the problem fix again.   Anyway, I love my SE very much but it is kind of hassle to my SE in and out the dealer for this problem.
#45 of 2128 Rattle & Whistle by eflime Oct 06, 2003 (8:16 am)
I've had the SE since late Aug. & have around 2,500 miles. I don't have the whistle, fuse, instrument panel rattling problems. I do have the hot air/AC problem & after about the first week I did notice a rattling sound around the second row passenger side. It happened when going over rough roads or going around a freeway on-ramp curve. At first I thought it was the sliding door, but after checking around the area (with somebody) else driving) it turned out to be seat. I think it may have to do with not latching the second row seat firmly, after either from folding it flat or tilting the whole seat forward. No problem with the rattle since then. Otherwise still enjoying the ride.

I already posted that I have a clunk in the back (not me the car ) and the rattle on driver sliding door. I still need to take it in but one more thing about the slider noise. If you open up the driver door while driving (be careful! only need to go about 20mph on non busy street) the noise is more obvious. It has a more metalic sound. Anyway if and when I get it fixed I'll let you all know.

I posted last week about the whistle noise. I didn't mention the rattle in the driver side slider door but we do have it also. Everyone needs to call Nissan Consumer Affairs about the issues. I feel Nissan will not get concerned about a reported problem until they get enough calls.
#48 of 2128 Gas mileage by dogmom2 Oct 06, 2003 (6:59 pm)
Do you all think I was naive to think that any van would get 19 mpg in the city as the EPA sticker states? I have just gone over the Consumer Reports comparison and they all get abysmal city gas mileage. Similar to what I am getting(13-15 mpg)in the Quest. I don't even drive that many miles a week. This is on the computer that measures it. This is close to big SUV mpg, isn't it?
#49 of 2128 Gas Milage by shenkar Oct 06, 2003 (10:45 pm)
I'm getting over 20 in the City, but it's 85% local Freeway vs only about 15% surface street miles. And even that's lower than I think it will be, cause I'm averaging 77 MPH according to the computer. Should be higher if I could bring my speed down some.   Are you traveling exclusively on surface streets, with all their stop and go lights? If so, that could be why your milage is so lousy.
#50 of 2128 Mileage by dogmom2 Oct 07, 2003 (2:56 am)
I drive about 9 miles a day, back and forth to work. Avg speed I would estimate 30mph with 3 stop lights and 3 stop signs along the way. I sure hope it gets a little better. I just sort of feel like I should have a hybrid with this van to balance it.
