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. Vax |

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. vax |

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. |

I have read lots of msg regarding Noise, A/c and others. I boutght SL model the first week it was released. I got my first oil change done yesterday. I do have door noise and warm air issue. The dealer doesn't know much and they called Nissan Hot line. They couldn't help. But said Nissan know there is concern from customers regarding Warm Air issue. They are not working on any fix. If more customers call and register this issue Nissan might find a fix. So Please call. I have a call open for 2.5 months now. |

the auto relock feature works only when you don't open the doors after unlocking. If you hit the remote to unlock the doors, then do not open any doors on the car, it will just relock. There are different intervals that you can set the feature at, or turn it off. I don't really understand its purpose, but it does no harm. Vince |

| Did you research adding an aftermarket roof rack to the Quest or if Nissan will offer this as an accessory in the future? I am considering the base model, but the lack of the rook rack is really a sticking point with me, but if I was confident I could add an aftermarket one that would fit and look good, it wouldn't be as large of a concern. | |
| We purchased a Quest SE in late August. We had it about a week and noticed that sometimes when you would open the driver side power sliding door that it would automatically close before anybody could even get out of the car. My first concerns were for my two kids and that they would get stuck in the door. When it did close, it wouldn't stop unless you put your arm close to the end of the door and then it would really hurt when it hit your arm. I was really concerned and took it in right away. Of course, the dealer dismissed it as an "intermittent" problem and wanted me to try and figure out when, why and how it was happening. After complaining on the service received, they asked me to bring it in again. Luckily it acted up right in front of the technician. They replaced the control unit, but it was still continuing. It wasn't until an engineer from Nissan was in and they diagnosed the problem as a "dumb" motor in the door. It was replaced last week and so far so good. Unfortunately, I have now read the other postings and realize we have the same problem with the heater/ac running in the summer time. Another complaint I have is that I almost broke my finger putting the third seat down the other night. Anybody else had any problems with that? The latch needs to be longer. | |
| Many people, including all the salesmen I met at the dealerships folded the seatback down first before pulling the entire 3rd row seat to the well. If you read the user's manual, it indicates the correct way is to push and release the button next to the strap on the seatback first. Then pull the strap to tilt the seat partially down in the well. Finally, release the latch on the bottom of the seat to drop the entire seat into the well. Although currently I don't own a Quest yet, I tried this method at a local dealer and it worked very well. People often complain about the 3rd seat is harder to fold on the Quest than the Ody, I have to disagree with that. | |

no sound from radio or CD, This happened 2nd time now. It happened on August 1st last time. The solution is to shut the engine off and take out ignition key and then restart the van, this initializes the electrical signals and everything works fine after that, does anyone has this problem? passenger side sliding door problem is the other one I don't know what is the root cause, i did notice one thing though, the wheels which slides in the channels on top and bottom of the sliding doors is too small as compared to the width of the channel it may be moving because of this gap (just a guess). I don't want to give my van to the dealership for experiments I am waiting until they have a bulliten from Nissan for the fix, until now the dealersip don't know the root cause. |

Nissan will not send a fix unless people having these problem call. I have tried many times and Nissan said they know about the concerns but not working on a fix so please call and get your problem registered. They will give you a reference number. Keep it for your status update..... |
