2007 Nissan QuestTransmission & drivetrainEngine & cooling

I just replaced all the motor mounts on my 2007 nissan quest. They have gone bad again. After looking up many forums online, this appears to be a very common issue and possible design flaw. Why has this not become a recall on nissan's part? Are motor mounts not a concern? Everyone is stating that no matter what they use, either aftermarket or genuine nissan parts, they all fail.

2007 Nissan QuestTransmission & drivetrainEngine & cooling

My 2007 nissan quest with144,500 miles, has a real bad clunking sound when accelerating, decelerating, or taking off from a standstill. A mechanic told me that it is from bad motor mounts. When accelerating or braking, the motor moves a lot. It does not make any more noises when turning, mainly win braking and accelerating, but also when the transmission shifts up or down a gear.

2008 Nissan QuestElectrical systemEngine & cooling

While the engine was on and the car in drive, but stopped with my foot on the brake, the engine unexpectedly revved up to about 6000 rpm. The first time was about 2 months ago, in a parking lot. I thought perhaps I had inadvertently pressed the accelerator while my foot was on the brake. Two days ago it happened again. This time I had driven about half a mile, stopped the car for a couple of minutes, and when I started again the engine raced once it was put in gear. I had to turn it off and then on 3 times for it...

to come back to normal. Yesterday I drove about one mile to a traffic light, and while I was stopped waiting for the light to change the car started to rev high and move into the intersection until I moved it out of drive. I had to shut off and restart for it to return to normal. About 15 or 20 more miles of driving and a half dozen stops, it happened again while I was leaving a parking space. When I got home I connected my code reader, there were no codes. It is now at my mechanic, but the problem has not happened for them yet.
