Replying to: famof3kids (Jul 03, 2008 11:52 am) Also, I think I remember something about the SE having the system that directs the braking load to the rear if it detects weight in the back (?). Having three kids in the back most always might explain why my rear pads wore out first and the fronts are just now needing replacing.   It's called electronic brake distribution. it's standard on the Quest.   Where did you hear that Nissan extended the powertrain warranty to 100k miles for the 2004 Quest?

I just changed the fronts and rears on my 06 for the 1st time, van has 33K. I surprised the rears were worn more, is fact I think I could have front for a while longer. I was also surprised to see the the front rotors are much bigger than the ones on my former 98 Caravan; that along with dual piston calipers. I've not experienced the problems others have with the brakes on this van, we drive 70/30 city to highway.   Chris Replies to this message: dtownfb (Jul 12, 2008 10:53 am)

#66 of 84 Brakes sticking by nzam Aug 04, 2008 (3:52 pm)
I have a 2000 Nissan Quest in which the left frot brake is sticking and at times smoking. It has done this before and goes away. But this time is staying around. Is it a loose wheel bearing or does the brake rod need to be adjusted. Thanks

Replying to: dtownfb (Jul 08, 2008 9:20 am) Where did you hear that Nissan extended the powertrain warranty to 100k miles for the 2004 Quest?   It's one of those hidden warranties...ha. They didn't really advertise it, but, if you push the issue with customer service, they'll honor it. It was a customer service initiative. I tried to get them to send me something in writing, but, only could get an email, which I saved.   They screwed with this forum a few years ago, so, not sure where the messages from all 04 owners ended up, but, if you do a search you should be able to find the info regarding it.   Mark 04 Quest SE   Replies to this message: dtownfb (Aug 05, 2008 9:45 am)

How hard is it to replace front brakes on our own? Replies to this message: steve_ (Apr 16, 2009 8:53 pm)

Replying to: pam48 (Apr 16, 2009 5:50 pm) Shouldn't be too hard if you just want to replace the pads and/or rotors. You'll need a bit C Clamp and a Torx socket (never can remember the size - T40?).   This article covers the bases pretty well.

Replying to: plashenick (Mar 18, 2007 5:08 am) I just bought a used Nissan Quest SE 2004 with 76,000 miles. I noticed that the front and back rotors are kind of worn out looks like (grooves) created on the rotors. Question what type of brake pads do I need? ceramic, extended wear or what type? and I believe I will need to repair the rotors as well right if it is not to late.

Replying to: pedro32 (Jun 19, 2009 2:40 pm) I've heard ceramic pads are the best to use as far as wear and durability. But they can be hard on cheaper rotors. I would talk to your mechanic about what rotors will hold up to ceramic pads. Because there are so many different brands of pads and rotors, i would go with what your mechanic uses regularly. this way if there is a problem he/she will likely stand behind the product.
