problem #1

Oct 112016

Quest 6-cyl

  • 71,200 miles
The traction control system (tcs) of the vehicle has a manufacturer defect. While driving the vehicle suddenly slowed down and then shut down. The vehicle dragged and slipped from side to side. The problem is unique to Nissan, particularly Quest, but Nissan is not willing to fix it. The tcs light and the slip light came on and a sudden jack brought the vehicle to a halt. The "service engine soon" light came on though the car was serviced just the month before and we have not been using it because the fuel gauge and odometer were not displaying fully/properly. Nissan has a responsibility to replace the traction control system in the 2006 and earlier models of the Quest. The fuel gauge and odometer problem became a problem in Quest once the vehicle reaches 70,0000km/miles, and by then the warranty would have lapsed. Nissan fixed this manufacturer's problem in 2007 and as such the problem does not afflict models since 2007. My Quest starting exhibiting this problem when the odometer reached 71,000. Now the odometer and the fuel gauge no longer appear fully and it is very difficult to tell how much gas you have and you cannot read the mileage on the vehicle clearly. Nissan has an obligation and duty to fix the odometers and fuel gauge of the subsequent models.
