Low gas warning by mdargan by shenkar
Oct 16, 2003 (8:15 pm)
Your van does not have a "behavior" problem. It's doing exactly what Nissan designed it to do. Read your owners manual.

Isn't that 35 psi MAX, when cold?

Rattling noise...part 2 by snoopy1010
Oct 17, 2003 (12:38 am)
Have brought the SE back to dealer yesterday and try to fix the noise problem.
 
He said that there is a clip inside the door panel that was broken. He had replaced the clip.
 
When I get the car back, it was better than before but there is still noise when the car is moving but it is much much less noticeable than before.
 
After back home, I keep searching for the source of the remaining noise. Later, I suspect the door is not closed properly when in close position. If trying to pull the door by the handle inside, I can hear the noise. There is no noise from the passenger side slider door when pulling the handle from inside. It seems that there is a very very thin gap between the car body and the door but it is not visible either from outside or inside. So when the car is moving, the door is kinda hit the body with the noise.
 
Anyone have the same situation or not i.e. the door is not close tightly when in close position?
 
I probably will bring the car to the dealer again (next week or so) and see whether this theory is correct or not.

Auto relock? by snoopy1010
Oct 17, 2003 (12:42 am)
Does anyone try the auto relock feature?
 
I have set it for 1 minute but it didn't lock the doors after 1 minute by itself.
 
If I do not open any door for 1 minute, it should lock all the doors by itself. It is the expected behavior?
 
Did I miss any step in order to make it work?

Low Gas Warning by gg2k2se
Oct 17, 2003 (6:00 am)
If it's the same as my 2002 maxima, I think when the display switches to ****, it's basically telling you you're pushing your luck. Certainly the automakers need to be cautious, because some consumers would get upset if they ran out of gas when the display said they have 12 miles left in the tank. Anyone who follows car racing knows that expensive race cars with computerized telemetry still run out of gas occasionally.
 
Consider the gas warning a conservative estimate and don't expect more than that.

More info on the HVAC by modena2904

Quest SE with ~1000 miles.
 
I have noticed the behavior that others reported, where on a warm day, with the a/c on, there is hot air blowing from the front floor vents. However, the volume of airflow is very low, and it didn't bother me. I also noticed that it only occurs when the car is fully warmed up.
 
To experiment, I decided to override the auto system, and direct all of the airflow to the floor vents. The air volume increased considerably at the floor vents (as expected), and it became cooler, but not nearly as cool as when the air was coming out of the dash vents. I wonder if the floor ducts might be routed near some hot parts that heat the air as passes through.
 
Last night, I also experienced a different problem. It was cool outside, ~60deg outside temp, and I had the auto temp setting at 72. Well, there was nice toasty air coming from the floor vents, but the dash vents were blowing cool air. I let this condition persist for a while, to see if it would adjust itself, but it stayed that way. The only thing I could do was again manually override the auto system to direct all of the airflow to the floor vents. Anyone else experience this?

lack of quality by marcus219087
Oct 18, 2003 (7:07 am)
Considering buying a SL with NAV, but Hilltop Nissan on Route 10 East Hannover NJ has very rude unpleasant manager called Jeff. Pretended not to know invoice price and played games with us as customers. Clearly, Nissan as an also-ran to Sienna and Ody should have max effort. They wou;d probably be as stupid and untrustworthy in service!

Marcus,
Had the same problem.
 
My Suggestions:
Go with all the details: Let them know that you "know" what costs are. Research Invoice and
MSRP prices..
And if the dealer is rude next time - just tell
him keep ur car and walk out. Call Nissan consumer affairs and give the guy ur piece ofmind. This worked for me too.

Picked up my SE in NJ by vaxuki
Oct 18, 2003 (2:01 pm)
Folks,
well picked up my SE last morning.
( stephenwb and pulisubs were right about waiting)
dealer called and gave me the vehicle i wanted.
started talking about the review.
 
One thing - I read and re-read the manual
Is there a way to get hot air from the "console vents" Those vents get cold air blowing.
I guess Nissan trusted the "Hot Air goes up "
and let hot air come out of foot vents only.
 
The A/c is confusing to operate and I should get used to it over time..
 
Am taking it for a drive and shall let you know
how it behaves. The small rattle came from the driver side sliding door. Since I had read about it here , I did not panic. SHall make a problem list and show it to the dealer when serviced.

Why not the base model by questown
Oct 19, 2003 (10:03 am)
Sorry, I did not respond to this question. The reason for my comment is because we could not add on a roof rack carrier (original make)or the automatic sliding door etc., since these are factory built options. If you are going to keep the van for a couple of years, and if your children are not grown up, adding some options like these make it a bit more enjoyable. And of course the leather seats add to the look, and it is easy to clean.
 
I agree to the suggestion to make some noise about this rattler. I already called Nissan, and they suggested taking it back to the dealer. I am a bit concerned about they experimenting something if they cant fix a manufacturing defect, or applying some glue (?) to stick up the panels. I will post my experience when I take it back.
