Brake lights and tail lights fail to come on and dash lights have also failed,dealer states vehicle not covered under recall 96v253004 . Several other complains about this from different manufacturing dates and vin#. Seems to be more universal than previously thought. Hoping nissan can resolve. *Tr

Back on july as I was on the hwy, set my cruise control, for the first time since I've owned my nissan, at 55mph, the speedometer stopped working, my right headlight went out. Now ever since then, it has gotten worse, I have replaced the right headlight 3 times . I've noticed that when I grab the handle of the turn signal it crackles, and causes the headlights to flicker, and the odometer doesn't work when the speed control is on zero while driving. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 nissan quest. The contact was driving at night approximately 45 mph with the headlights on. Suddenly, the headlights became inoperative. The contact maneuvered to the side of the road and then resumed without the headlights. The contact's visibility was extremely limited. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they replaced both headlight bulbs. The failure occurred again after the repair. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage and vin were unavailable.

Exterior surface of headlight -polycarbonate lenses exhibiting oxidation and deterioration causing reduced roadway illumination and reduced turn signal illumination. Headlights should be produced with a coating durable enough to prevent such oxidation and deterioration of the polycarbonate surface, at least for the life of the vehicle. *Tr

This morning when I drove my 2005 nissan quest van in my garage I immediately smelled something burning. I looked to the rear of the van and saw black smoke coming from around the taillight housing. I immediately backed the van out of the garage. Suddenly flames came from the bottom of the taillight housing. By the time I could grab a fire extinguisher a hole approx. 6" In diameter had burned through and melted part of the taillight housing and the rear bumper fascia. I will contact my dealer tomorrow morning to have a tow truck sent to my house to pick the van up and have it repaired. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 nissan quest. The contact noticed that the exterior headlights would sporadically fail, which reduces visibility. He took the vehicle to the dealer on three occasions and they replaced the headlight connector, the headlight socket twice, and the bulb in the headlamp. As of august 7, 2008, none of the repairs have successfully remedied the failure. The contact called the manufacturer, but was not provided with any assistance because his vehicle exceeded its warranty. The failure mileage was 24,794 and current mileage was 120,000.

My new car was performing as it was supposed to and maintenance was being completed on a regular schedule. My vehicle started to cut off during operation in 2004/5. It would happen in the driveway, expressways, etc. It didn't matter. I took it to the nissan dealer and they claimed to fix the problem. Next my headlight began to blow a bulb every 2,0000-3,000 miles. I took it to the dealer and they replaced it. This occurred in 2005. Mid- july to late november 2006 my car began to stall in cold/warm weather. I took...

The headlight bulbs continue to burn out and during the last replacement of the bulbs, the collars retaining the wiring harness crumbled in my hands. Both collars look like they have been exposed to a lot of heat. Then while I was trying to remove the bulb, it came back on. The wiring socket was loose and needed pressure in order to work. This too, looked like it was exposed to a lot of heat where the wires connect to the sockets. Is this a design defect? *Jb

I had the headlight bulbs blow out a second time. And the car only has 34,000 miles on it. That is unusual. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1995 nissan quest. He was the original owner of the vehicle and there were 5 safety recalls on the vehicle. Each of the safety recalls were related to the vehicle, and he never received any safety recall notice. There was never a change of address since purchasing the vehicle. The contact would like to have all of the safety recalls repaired, and an explanation from the manufacturer stating why he never received a notice. The current mileage was 72,792. *Ak

Dt*: the contact stated the lever that changes the headlights from low to high beam is the same lever that cuts the headlights on/off. The absence of tension in the lever causes the lever to rotate when going from high to low beam, causing the headlights to go off. The dealership and manufacturer have been alerted.

(1) A screw fell out when I opened the sunglass holder. I did not know what it came from at the time. (2) The maplight assembly, which includes the sunroof controls, the two power sliding door controls, and the rear hatch control, fell from the roof while crossing railroad tracks. The maplight assembly was hanging in midair by the wires, swinging wildly, and blocking the view of the road as I was crossing the railroad tracks. Upon examination, the plastic around one screw had cracked apart, separting the screw...
