1994 NISSAN QUEST Engine And Engine Coolingenginegasoline Problems

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING HEARD A RATTLING NOISE AND VEHICLE LOSTPOWER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. MR

ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHEN PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THAT ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WATER PUMP/ COOLANT LEAKS UNDER INTAKE/OIL LEAKS FROM OIL PUMP LEAKED FROM REAR MAIN SEALS. CONSUMER HAD FOUND OUT AFTER TAKEN VEHICLE TO A TECHNICIAN FOR SAFETY CHECK AND MAINTENACE THAT THOSE PROBLEMS NEEDED TO BE FIXED.*AK

THESE ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES!!!! VEHICLE HAS HAD A FUEL ODOR FOR A LONG TIME AFTER REFUELING, CONDITION WORSENED RESULTS: FUEL VENT HOSE: WHEN REFUELING, GAS BEGAN TO PROFUSELY LEAK AND POOL BENEATH VEHICLE. FIXED AT MY COST. FUEL HOSES: VERY STRONG FUEL FUMES FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT, DEALER REPLACED TWO FUEL RAIL RUBBER HOSES AT MY EXPENSE. MOST PROBLEMATIC IS AN INTERMITTENT STALLING PROBLEM: AFTER SITTING, WITHIN FIRST 5 MILES OF DRIVING WHEN STOPPING OR AT LOW SPEED VEHICLE STALLS. HAPPENS IN INTERSECTIONS, APPROACHING STOPS, IN SLOW RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. FUEL PUMP REPLACED, COOLANT SENSOR REPLACED, FUEL REGULATOR CHECKED. DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE, NISSAN CONTACTED. BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND OCCURS AT THE WORST TIMES-INTESECTIONS, HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO STOP. STALLS AND NO POWER!!! IT STARTS BACK UP AND SOMETIMES STALLS AGAIN REPEATEDLY FOR SEVERAL TIMES OR DAYS OR NOT FOR WEEKS. NEXT PROBLEM: ABS LIGHT COMES ON, TRACED...

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, WE BOUGHT A NISSAN QUEST FROM FIRST NISSAN IN SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER WE BOUGHT IT THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURNED. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE NISSAN CAR DEALER BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. DURING THESE TWO LAST YEARS WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO THREE DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERS, CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND PAY REPAIRS FROM OUR OWN POCKET TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE STALLING HAPPENS IN A RANDOM AND OCCASIONAL BASIS, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FIX IT, BUT THAT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS MAKES IT A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND IT IS A LIFE-THREATING SITUATION. NISSAN HAS NOT TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY, AND THEY HAVE IGNORED US FOR THE MOST PART. ALTHOUGHT THE CAR WAS IN A TWO...

CRANKSHAFT BROKE AT 64,314 MILES. ENGINE HAD TO REPLACED.

A CYLINDER HEAD BOLT SNAPPED, SENDING PART OF THE WASHER INTO THE CAMSHAFT, SEIZING IT AND STRIPPING THE TIMING BELT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A HEAD BOLT ON THE OPPOSITE CYLINDER HEAD HAD SNAPPED AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST, BUT CAUSED NO DAMAGE. COST OF REPLACING ALL THE BOLTS AND HEAD GASKETS, AND RE-MACHINING THE CYLINDER HEADS WAS $1643. WE COULD HAVE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFTS BECAUSE THE GUIDE PINS HAD BEEN DAMAGED, BUT THE DEALER ADVISED AGAINST IT BECAUSE THE EXTRA COST WAS OF MARGINAL BENEFIT.

ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
