2000 NISSAN QUEST Vehicle Speed Control Problems

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 MINIVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1-2 MPH APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE HE HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS TWICE. THE FAILURE ONLY HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN APPROACHING A STOP. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, IT ACCELERATED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD. THE FAILURE HAD BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. NISSAN WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 142,000.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS (MOSTLY WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION) IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE. PROBLEM IS CONTINUING TO GET WORSE AS TIME PROGRESSES. *TR

THE VEHICLE KEEPS ACCELERATING AT THE SAME SPEED AFTER THE CONSUMER HAS STOPPED PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES, BUT THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *YH

CONSUMER STATES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION. CONSUMER STATES CAR WILL SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD. NLM CONSUMER ALSO STATES BRAKE PEDAL SQUEAKS, THE STEERING WHEEL WHINES AND THE FRONT DRINK CUP HOLDER WOULD NOT WORK. *YH
