2006 Nissan Quest Problems, complaints & recalls

Crank position sensor won't start after sitting stationary after it ran and stopped its intermediate.

Passenger side sliding door no longer functions properly. No longer latches. Seen similar problems with this vehicle on youtube.

When you start driving the vehicle from a cold start it drives and shifts perfect. As soon as it reaches operating temperature it will slam when shifting gears. After 5 minutes or so it will not move. Shut the vehicle off for 15 to 20 minutes and I shifts and drives fine for a few more minutes then the same problems happen again.

While van was parked, turned off, and no key in ignition, the lights started flashing and wipers started going. Started to smoke. A witness called fire department and it was in flames before they got there. Apparently electrical system malfunctioned and caught fire. We were inside a mall when this happened. Fire department called us and fire was out before we got to vehicle. Van is totaled.

I purchase a used nissan quest in june 2016 couple weeks later the air bag light starts flashing. Another thing is the cluster that reads over hearing and miles flashes and twitches. My vehicle at the time of purchase had 121,246 miles I'm the second owner. I took to courtesy nissan and was told that the flashing airbag light is nothing to worry about, but I have seen several reviews and complaints about the airbags and can't stop worrying since this is a family vehicle. Another issue with the vehicle is the sensors and timing chain gave up soon. Also at to replace air conditioning system. This has been a hole in my pocket since I purchased. States there is a recall but I'm not sure

Transmission failure is causing van to stall. Can happen just traveling down highway. Happens as you try to pull into traffic. So sluggish you are afraid you will not make it through an intersection. Can happen just traveling down interstate. Frightening when in that situation with eighteen wheelers in your rear view mirror. Have taken to nissan certified technicians and they have not been able to identify the problem. This has happened 3 times. Taken to dealership each time.

The traction control system (tcs) of the vehicle has a manufacturer defect. While driving the vehicle suddenly slowed down and then shut down. The vehicle dragged and slipped from side to side. The problem is unique to nissan, particularly quest, but nissan is not willing to fix it. The tcs light and the slip light came on and a sudden jack brought the vehicle to a halt. The "service engine soon" light came on though the car was serviced just the month before and we have not been using it because the fuel...

The three linear solenoids in the transmission fail, causing problems with vehicle shifting. Shifting from park to drive once engine is warm will cause a clunk in transmission. Also, downshift creates transmission surge.

Rattling noise coming from engine at start up. Goes away after a few seconds. The cause is faulty timing chain shoes and tensioner. Transmission jerking while driving. *Tr

I have to replace the transmission in my 2006 nissan quest 3.5 Se minivan. The transmission has air-flow problems, hard shift, acceleration problems, and gear shifting problems. While driving in the city, the transmission will hard-shift while decelerating and parking. While accelerating the transmission will automatically shift to a higher gear (making a racing sound/like rapidly accelerating) then jump (making a hard jolting knocking noise - especially while accelerating to highway speeds around 50-55-60mph)....

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan quest. While the vehicle was parked, the front passenger side seat belt buckle failed to unlock when engaged, which prevented the occupant from exiting the vehicle. The driver was able to cut the seat belt webbing to release the front seat passenger. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I have a nissan quest 2006. My mechanic told me that my front sub-frame is all rotten and needs to be replaced

In a frontal crash, which rear ended another vehicle, at 35 mpg, on a city street, none of the airbags deployed, driver or side airbags. The airbag light had been flashing since I purchased the used 2006 nissan quest, having approx. 235,000 Miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan quest. While driving at 45 mph, the horn, radio, and instrument panel failed without warning. The battery was disconnected and the horn fuses were removed. The battery was reconnected and the contact restarted the vehicle. The service engine and air bag warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 180,000.

I was pulling into a partking lot and I started to smell something. I thought it was in the air but then I noticed that there was smoke coming from under my front hood. I immediately pulled over, got out of the van and saw smoke then fire coming from under the hood. I moved quite a distance away and call 911 as I was standing looking at the van, I saw something dripping with fire from the right passenger front end. Car was toast. It burned immediately. No warning sign, engine light alert nothing ... Very scarey!! Will not buy another quest.

My vehicle jumps at 35 miles per hour and makes a loud clicking noise from the timing chain .

My 2006 nissan quest has bad jerking in the transmission when the gears change. It does this when it both gearing up and shifting down at any speed. The jerking is very bad when also coming from reverse to drive. This is a safety concern for me and my family because if it gives out on the expressway, it could cause an accident and that puts my family including my baby in danger. Also if I am stranded on the side of the road with my child in extreme heat or cold this also puts my child in danger. This transmission needs to be recalled seeing is how I am not the only one with the complaint.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan quest. While driving at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate and made an abnormal noise. The contact discovered that the rear passenger wheel lug nuts and the lug bolt detached. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the lower control arm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 169,000.

I was driving with my kids and gas gauge was showing full but the car stopped in the middle of the road . I had to call road side assistance and the guy told me the was not gas in the car. Since than it happens with me twice.After researching on internet I learned that this is very common problem in nissan quest modles.I called nissan but they refused to help me. *Tr

Coming home from church with my family I was slowing down to make a turn at an intersection and van started jerking in the middle of the intersection and would not accelerate as I was crossing intersection. Serious safety issue for my family and others on the road. If nissan wants to hold up their name and keep their customers, they need to recall these vehicles and repair them immediately before someone dies from their malfunctioning vehicles. *Tr

Car has been bought in 2010, it had all the time suspension problems, now appeared a/c cooling system is not working. Does it have any warranty for it? Vehicle has about 115,000 miles. *Tr

This is safety concern for me and my family. My nissan quest 2006 se when it down shifts does not accelerate. This problem is a serious risk for me and my family when we are on the interstate and then exit and wait at the signal the car does not move and just revs up with almost zero acceleration. I want nissan to take this car back and provide me a replacement. *Tr

Steering wheel started shaking when I would press the brake. So took the van to my mechanic said my rotor needed replacing. While since then I had to replaced the front rotors five times. They keep getting bent. The steering wheel shaking stop with new rotors and start when rotors bend again. And yes the shaking is uncontrollable when it happens. Some one told me the nissan sentra had that type of problem too. *Tr

The hatch lift will not close or open with the key or push button; it is an open position. We contact a nissan dealer and was quote $900 to repair. In 2012 we had to replace the transmission that cost us $2500. The dashboard all the lights have gone out and the cost to replaced that whole is over $600 just for the parts not including labor. When we bought the van we were very happy with it. But in the last 3years it has gone down hill. I car that we bought brand new for over $30,000 should last more than 7 years. I don't know if you can force nissan to look at all the problems that are in this model. We are planning a new car next year; and I know we will not be purchasing a nissan. *Tr

As you start off from a stop the transmission jerks in the lower gears, the speed surges then goes back down and there is an infrequent knocking noise. The transmission also starts to gear down as you go down a decline at speeds of 45-50 mph. *Tr
