NHTSA Complaint #749607 — 1999 NISSAN QUEST

THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS BEGINNING WITH THE BRAKES HAVING TO BE CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES; ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY MY PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED UP RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CLOSE THE DOOR. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WOULD GET IN AND START THE CAR, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD GO, THE HORN WOULD BLOW AND AND THE DOORS WOULD LOCK; THERE WAS A TERRIBLE BANGING SOUND COMING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, BUT AFTER 3 STOPS IN THE SHOP WAS IDENTIFIED AS A BOLT BEING LOOSE IN THE STEARING COLUMN, MY GAS PEDAL STICKS AND WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN RELEASE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD; THE REAR BULBS ALL BLEW OUT IN THE REAR OF THE VAN AND MELTED THE ENCASING SURROUNDING THE BULBS; DURING A RAIN STORM THE WINDOWS WHERE IN THE DOWN POSITION AND WOULD NOT GO UP; THE VEHICLE HAD TO GO INTO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO PULL THEM UP; WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO LOCK THE DOORS THE LOCKS MAKE A SOUND AS IF THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK OR UNLOCK BUT DO NOT, IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR WHETHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE...ULTIMATELY THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A SINCERE DISAPPOINTMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE RETURNED TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER MY DEALER HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS AND THE NEW DEALER WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THE VEHICLE BUT NISSAN'S RESPONSE IS TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. NISSAN IS NOT PAYING FOR A LOANER CAR AND I CAN'T CONTINUE TO TAKE TIME FROM WORK TO BABYSIT A VEHICLE MORE THAN MY CHILDREN...THIS WILL BE THE LAST NISSAN I OWN. I ALMOST DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANOTHER UNSUSPECTED INDIVIDUAL TO PURCHASE THIS NIGHTMARE ON WHEELS*AK
