  • Overall Satisfied - 2004 Nissan Quest

    This is the best looking import mini van.

  • Almost a Lemon - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    We have owned the Quest for a year and a half and in that time have had it back to the dealership for repairs/warranties/recalls/service about 15 times. Within the first month of owning the Quest, I noticed rattling noises, wind coming from the rear doors, and other "small things" that seemed much worse becasue they only added to the overall total of complaints I began to have. Couple this with the passenger side mirror needing to be replaced, rear defogger unit replaced, doors adjusted, sensors tweeked, and the kicker, the alternator and battery dying in the middle of January in Minnesota away from home, and you can see why I must say this is the absolute worst vehicle I have ever owned.

  • Timing Chains are Bad! - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    We have been proud owners of Nissans for more than 13yrs. Our 04 Quest has been great over all! I have had problems with the automatic doors not closing and/or sticking. Windows have the same problem. Console is scratched and looks crappy because material does not clean well. Under carriage is to low, going over speed hump I lost plastic bolts holding plastic bottom in place. Now my mechanic is telling me that I need a new timing chain, the dealership will charge $3200 he will fix for $1800. He says it really should be a recall but because of the cost Nissan will not recall! Timing chains are suppose to last longer and be more reliable. Research the web many people having same problem!

  • Problem with Rear Main Seal/leaking oil - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    I have had my Nissan Quest 2004 for one month. On its one month anniversary, we noticed oil in the driveway. It was leaking oil...minimal but still for a $27,000 car you expect more than that. Took it back to Quirk and they gave me a rental. If I knew it was going to take a week to fix, I would not have settled for the Kia Rio I was given. Picked up my Nissan tonight and hope that is the end of any problems.

  • My 1995 Nissan - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    Our van has surpased our Chevy Van 20 whith more than 100,000mi and it still runs like new its been all the way from C.A to Canada,even our cousin is imprest becaus there is no oil in the exaust,(The verey secret is you though because if you dont care for any car it will soon become a pile of junk).our Chevy Van 20 only has about 80,000mi and its already needing major overhaul.

  • Our first ever Nissan - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    Great styling and fun to drive. Great center console. Comfy seats and killer Bose sounds system. Had problems with rear distance sensor and driver side sliding door not closing. Dealer fixed eventually and everthing works well... except the radio. Not sure if they used college students in Nepal to design it but the reception is worse than my clock radio next to my bed. They should be ashamed of how aweful that is. Glad we got the CD player! Got two flat tires in the first month (sorry not under warranty). Really like the power everything for side doors and trunk

  • Little bit disppointed - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    I get the new Quest because of its radical styling. I like Oddessey, but it is outdated. The new Sienna has very conservative stying. For the power, I feel it has less power than it supposes to have. Maybe the van weighs heavy. It is pretty slow to pick up speed for the first 2 gears. Also, it is kind of noisy for Japanese engines. The new Quest is one of the best van out there, but it is absolutely not the leader.

  • Neat Van - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    This is a neat looking van. Lots of the "new extras" that families need. Only major complaint is that the fan for heating and AC is LOUD. Drives smooth, acceleration and power are sufficient. Center console takes some getting used to but I prefer it now over a traditional console.

  • Nice, but always room for improvement - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    We bought our van one year ago and have 26000 miles on it. Overall it is fun to drive, very comfortable and really fits our lifestyle (2 kids, dog, active). Not so happy with the dealer, and when we bought the car (S model) they said we would be able to add a roof rack system later, as an accessory but this is in fact not true. We travel a lot and would never have bought the van if we knew it would never be available. Occasionally there seems to be wierd things going on with the transmission, the sliding doors rattle, the interior plastic trim is CHEAP and the air conditioner whistles on fan speed #2 (drives us crazy!) I also feel the paint is cheap.

  • Greatly dissapointed - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    I bougth Quest mostly because my wife fall in love with is from the first sigth. Now shes crying calling me that air conditioner is not working AGAIN - and thats in Arizona in August ! I lost count how many times I vizited Pinnacle Nissan dilership (which is even greater dissapointment then car itself). Rattling doors, squeeling front suspention,falling down interior lights, intermittent problem s with AC, 8 recalls... I have had it enough - Im looking for lemon lawer.
