Hi GP, This is a bit off topic but since you sell Nissans I have a question for you.And since the 2004 Quest edmunds forums is very inactive.. I have an 04 Nissan Quest [ with all its well documented problems]. It has a steering wheel shimmy / shake present at all speeds- a constant left to right, to and fro shake/shimmy.This is a problem with most late model Nissan SUV`s and trucks,not sedans.The dealer replaced both the front pads and rotors but the shimmy is still present. Do you know of any solution to this?If it is not the rotors then - is it the wheel balance problem or any other known problem? Have you seen any such issues at your dealership?Is there anything specific that has to be done like changing to a different set of non OEM tires or anything else like the popular Hunter970 road force balancing? Would really appreciate your help.Thanks.

It has me motivated to go buy a car. My Clunker, a 1990 BMW 325iA (18 mpg city/highway combined, driveable, and registered/insured for 1 year +) will be headed for the scrap heap in exchange for a $3500 credit toward a 2010 Audi A4 2.0T Avant (I just have to hammer out a few details like have my wife drive the car & see if she likes it because it will be HER car...Hey I let her pick out the exterior color). We currently lease an '07 BMW X3 3.0si until July of 2010, so I'll have 2 car payments for a year and then the more fuel efficient Audi will replace the X3.

Replying to: canadiantoyota (Jul 03, 2009 7:26 am) I always explain that our country was born out of a revolution. Funny....yesterday I was listening to NPR while driving. Apparently, someone in the U.K. found an early edition of the Declaration of Independence in their archives. The host or interviewer was polite in asking the person responsible for these archives some fairly tame questions, until the end of the interview. At that point the interviewer said, "sorry that the July 4th holiday didn't turn our to well for those of you in the U.K." The interview abruptly ended on that note! I got a chuckle out of that. |

Replying to: deltheking (Jul 03, 2009 6:04 pm) Del, My condolences to you..... You remind me of a time I had forgotten. Back in 2004 The first Quest I ever sold came back in 3 weeks with a steering problem. It could have been lemon lawed but the customer was cool about it. Anyway they had to replace the whole steering system.... I myself quiver when ever someone mentions the Quest because of the 2004 year model..... I guess you have to give them a break... It was a new manudacfturing plant with new workers and anything that could go wrong went wrong. I even still quiver when someone wants to look at a quest. I wish I had better answers... the only thing I can suggest is trade it in when there are some incentives to do so. Buy a Altima!!! GP |

Replying to: graphicguy (Jul 04, 2009 6:29 am) I have a British gal in my Summer class and she informs me that "If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have a fourth of July!" Of course, I thanked her for such a wonderful gift.  tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
