2012 Nissan Quest owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Nissan quest. While driving various speeds, the fuel tank gauge indicated that the tank was empty. The contact stated that two hours after filling up the fuel tank, the tank would be empty. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to brown's fairfax Nissan (11010 fairfax blvd, fairfax, va 22030, (703)-591-8009) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and stated that there were no recalls or warranties per the VIN. T

My van is not accelerating properly, it seems to idle out and does not go over 20 mph it idles on acceleration decline. i could not get out of way fast enough if traffic was busy.

Van started to have problems with the acceleration, I stepped on the gas and it didn't responded until several seconds later (5-10), it started slowly and then it accelerates slowly. Every time the vehicle stops, the transmission doesn't work. The check engine light came on, I took the car to an autozone store, and they found the error code p1778, which is CVT transmission error. I took the van then to the dealership and they told me that they found the same error code, and they told me that the transmission needs to be replaced at approx $3800 dls. The van has 76,000 miles. And so far, I've seen numerous sites that have claims and list problems with Nissan transmissions, and Nissan is not taking care of customers. This is a very serious problem that can cause an accident if you are tryi

CVT started slipping around 115,000 miles when taking off on incline. Really bad slipping and had fluid changed at 121,000 miles. Surging and losing power on the interstate in traffic. Went completely out at 130,000 miles leaving my family stranded.

Daughter's Quest has a bad CVT transmission. Diagnosis made by independent service center. Check engine light came on. Codes P1700, P0746, & P0868. Unsafe to drive - doesn't accelerate, shakes, shutters, etc. Other Nissan Quest/Nissan owners with same issue (Pathfinder, Rogue, Juke, Murano, Versa,Sentra,Altima). Refer to CarComplaints.com. I mailed a letter to Nissan Corp Office in Franklin TN. They offered no assistance. Nissan settled a class action law suit for Sentra, Versa, Altima with same trans problem by agreeing to replace trans and extend warranty from 5yrs/60K miles to 10 yrs/120K miles. Want Nissan to replace bad CVT transmissions and extend warranty on Quest vans and other models with bad CVT transmissions.

At 119,000 miles the vehicle experienced a complete transmission failure while driving. The vehicle wouldn't get out of 1st gear, making acceleration from a dead stop nearly impossible. Several calls to my Nissan dealership and to Nissan corporation resulted in "I'm sorry but we can't do anything for you but offer a complete replacement of your transmission at at cost over $5000". The vehicle is only 19k miles out of the extended warranty that I purchased from Nissan, but they are claiming they don't look at that, they look at the original manufacture warranty. Nissan is aware of issues with the CVT transmission they have put in their cars but refuse to fix the issues or work with customers.

I was on a busy freeway only 10 miles from my city and my van with no warning started to slow down and I tried pushing gas to make it go faster to the speed limit because there were semi trucks lined behind and beside me and it wouldn’t accelerate at all. It just continued to slow down at a fast rate and I was trying to get to the side of the freeway as fast as possible and the steering wheel got hard to turn to the side. It was a struggle and I had my husband, and all 5 of my daughters with me. We were all scared out of our minds. Vehicles were passing so close to us and so fast. The vehicle came to a complete stop on the side of the freeway and the engine was still running and I tried to push gas but it just revved up and didn’t move at all. My family and I were stranded for hours waitin

Doesn't want to speed when accelerate, specially on a hill. No electrical problems detect it.

The dashboard on my 2012 Nissan Quest S is splitting at the edges leaving a gap between 1/16-1/32 wide. The area around the passenger air bag is now outlined and I am concerned it my effect the air bag. This started about a year ago and is getting worse.

I purchased the van and noticed that at times it would suddenly de-accelerate and drop from whatever speed im doing and refuse to speed up even if I press the gas peddle to the floor. Id come up to a stop sign and stop, then at times it wouldnt accelerate, even with the peddle to the floor, it would barely move forward. I brought it back to the person I purchased it from tried to describe what happened, they had someone check the transmission and said it was fine. Its continued to do this, and has almost caused crashes because it does it periodically and without warning on inclines, at red lights, if I driven a long distance (i.e. 1hr or so) etc, and when stopped. Its done this especially when it comes to hills, its terrifying but I have no other vehicles and now only drive it locally, av

Our ac quit working and we were informed that the ac lines had holes in them due to corrosion. This is absurd for a vehicle only three years old. Repair estimate is $1700 due to the fact that they have to drop the subframe in order to access the corroded lines. Clearly this is a vehicle defect and Nissan should take responsiblity for the substandard material used in these lines. We appear to be the second consumer reporting this issue on this site.

On 8/7/17 my wife was hit in the left side of her eye/head area by the passenger side sliding door while she was trying to get our 2 year old son out of the car. Our car was parked in our driveway. She went inside our home to get a bag for a beach day with our 5 children, but after a few minutes, she didn't come back to the car. I went inside with our children to find out what she was doing, and I found her on the floor, head down, with a pool of blood behind her head, and she was unconscious. I called 911 and my son began cpr, as she had foam coming from her mouth. My son after numerous continuous pumps to her chest, around 5 minutes, she finally took a breath. When the paramedics arrived, they took my wife to the hospital where she continued to have a very hard time breathing and upon ar

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Nissan quest. While driving approximately 50 MPH and slowing down in traffic, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but hesitated to respond. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not informed of the failure. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v076000 (electrical system, fuel system, gasoline). The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

I was parked on a slope, with about 1/8 a tank of gas and the van would not start. I was able to start the vehicle after I put it in neutral and rolled it to level ground. I googled the problem and found out there was a recall, which I was never informed about. I took the van into the local Nissan shop and they performed the recall fix. When I asked why I wasn't notified of the recall, they said that my vehicle was manufactured after the dates covered by the recall, but it was obviously affected by the same issue (and that the dates in the recall must be "off"). The recall number is 12v076000, it covers vehicles manufactured between 7/29/2010 and 2/21/2012. My vehicle was manufactured on 2/23/2012, and has the same issue. *tr

I was sold a deceptive van at the end sept 2020, I did a test drive with the salesman, pointed out several issues with the van like check engine light on, traction light on, air bag light on, remote missing to control tv, the salesman told me not to worry about all the lights that's on he will get that fix at a later date and to buy the tv remote and a deduction will be applied to my contract. I was fine with that, but that hasn't been the case. I admittedly start to find other issue with the van the more I drove it like the rear wiper motor is not working, the complete steering wheel is not working so the horn, cruise control, bluetooth settings, radio volume button. I have made the salesman a where of this but his whole tone changed. I was told to get whatever issues fixed myself and may

I have 20,000 miles on my car and my tires need replacing! I purchased it new in april 2012. I have had it for a year and a half. I drive it carefully and have the tires rotated when needed. I had a flat on monday on my way to work. That evening I had it looked at for repair. It cannot be repaired. The tire tread is very low. They are bridgestone turanza. I bought a van because I'm driving children around frequently. Why couldn't Nissan put better tires on this vehicle? When you buy a new car, you assume that you won't have to repair anything for several years. Now I have to buy a new set of tires at christmas time! I am really unhappy! I checked this site to see if there is a recall on tires. I certainly hope so! *tr

Automatic rear doors cannot be stopped from closing once activated and a person can get crushed in the door.

3 months after purchasing a brand new 2012 Nissan quest (purchased vehicle on 04/15/2012), I was driving down a hill at a low rate of speed when the engine shut off and the car stated there was no more gas, even though there was a quarter tank. Cars behind me slammed on their brakes and luckily we were not hit. I put the car in neutral and after coasting down the hill and reaching a level part of the road, my car started again and told me that I had a quarter tank. After taking the car to the dealer, I learned there was an open recall campaign (NHTSA recall 12v076) on the 2012 quest and the remedy was not performed prior to me purchasing the vehicle, which is against regulations as the recall campaign was started by Nissan before I purchased the vehicle. On 06/20/2012 (1 day after the I
