Replying to: dek0621 (Jun 03, 2009 2:02 pm) What you are describing sounds like a sensor issue as opposed to a bad transmission. Try to determine the conditions this happens so your mechanic can try to duplicate it.   Also check the transmission fluid.

#29 of 34 2004 Quest won't do anything when in gear by narrowcaster Aug 09, 2009 (5:43 pm)
I have 2004 Quest that intermittently will refuse to do anything when shifted into drive or reverse. When shifted into gear the vehicle will very slowly roll in the appropriate direction, but no matter how much I press on the accelerator the engine just idles as if I am not touching the gas pedal at all. So far I can shift the van into and out of gear, abruptly hit the brakes and finally it starts behaving normally.   Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?
#30 of 34 Transmission problems by marsha615 Aug 21, 2009 (8:40 am)
I purchased a 2004 quest in 2005 with a significant amount of mileage. Haven't had any "major" issues until now. Should I be having transmission issues? If not, is there any recourse for me? A new transmission is $2500. A used one at the junk yard is $900 not including labor. I no longer have a warranty and cannot afford to pay outright to have it repaired. The van was not purchased at Nissan but at a lot. Is there some type of lemon law to protect me? Is there a statue of limitation? Or am I stuck with the bill. I'm a single mother of four and can barely afford gas much less a new or used transmission. Will it pay for me to buy into one of those "extended warranty" programs. PLEASE someone advise. I cannot go much longer without a vehicle. Replies to this message: dtownfb (Aug 23, 2009 5:24 pm)

Replying to: marsha615 (Aug 21, 2009 8:40 am) First, how many miles do you have on the van? Second, did a mechanic actually say you need a new transmission?   If you are over 60k miles (the powertrain warranty for Nissan), you really have no recourse. Also it sounds like you bought it used, 4 years ago. Not unless the van was sold with a warranty.....   The reason I ask that second question is the Quest has had software problems with their transmissions that has caused numerous issues. If you need to replace the transmission, you may want to go the used option if money is tight. Also ask your mechanic about rebuilt transmissions. They are cheaper than new and come with a modest warranty.   Don't buy the extended waranty programs. They are too expensive for what they cover. Basically you are paying for your repairs upfront for limited coverage. Also some of these programs have horrible consumer ratings. I wouldn't trust any of them. They are preying on people's fear.

Replying to: supernet (Jan 29, 2007 1:02 pm) Hi Hugo,  there' re 2 problems: 1/ TCM = transmission computerized module. Need to be replace. 2/ Lay down on the floor in front of vehicle at the driver side, you will see the trans.    fluid pan. Check for dents or damage. It so visible you can't miss it.    If dented on pan, take your tools out and unscrew 10-12 bolts, the gasket should    comes out with pan. If gasket broken, buy another.    Put pan on flat surface , use a piece of wood to knock flat the dent. Do not damage    surrounding pan lip which the bolts connect to trans housing.    Clean the fluid residue.    Check the filter, if damage, replace or use tool to straighten out the metal mesh.    Put bolts in order when remove pan then put back together in order.    Check manual book to see how much fluid to fill in. Done. Good luck. BTW,    not too difficult to do, don't panic and do it slowly.

Replying to: dek0621 (Jun 03, 2009 2:02 pm) Hi Aderik,  lay down on floor at driver side to see any damage, dent on trans. fluid pan.  Big black pan, won't miss it.  If dented, take it off from trans. pan from trans. housing and flatten the dent by  mallet or piece of wood. Try not to damage the bolt holes and gasket.  Gasket should comes off easily with pan, if broken, replace it.  If no dents, then replace the TCM = transmission computerized module.  Problems will fix. Not too expensive to have new TCM. Good luck.
