The whole underneath of my van is rusting out i went and had it checked and they said it is only a matter of time and the whole vehicle will just drop.

The main engine support frame member to which the bottom-forward motor mount is attached rusted completely free where it attaches at the area under the radiator. This caused the entire engine to drop. The vehicle is no longer drivable. Repair requires extensive structural work. There was no indication of a problem in advance of the incident. The vehicle had been service regularly. The compromised area was not previously visible as it is concealed by a splash guard. This is an extremely unsafe condition, especially when traveling at speed, due to potential for loss of control resulting from compromised steering, braking and other systems. Nissan has not issued any bulletins, recalls for inspection, or other communication regarding this issue. A brief internet search produces numerous complaints about the same problem. Many of the complaints state nissan has been unresponsive to complaints. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 nissan quest gl. The contact stated that while attempting to open the front passenger side door from the interior, the front passenger interior door handle caused lacerations to the contact's fingers.

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 nissan quest. The contact attempted to open the drivers side sliding door when the door detached from the vehicle. The dealer inspected the vehicle and informed the contact that the failure was caused by wear and tear. The manufacturer was aware of the failure. No repairs were performed. The current and failure mileage was 131,000.

The rear most passenger side window bracket gets in the way of the passenger side sliding door, effectively locking it closed. The door cannot be opened from the inside and someone on the outside needs to use a shim to push the bracket back into place to provide enough clearance for the door to open. *tr

While driving on a major highway the brake fluid leaked out of a rusty, corroded brake line which reduced braking ability. I had rusty portion of the brake line replaced at a service station. *tr

The driver side seat belt buckle would not come free. I had to jiggle out of the seat to exit the vehicle. When taken to the dealership they told me the part was going to cost me $39 to replace not including labor. I had to pay to fix since my wife could not drive the vehicle without the seatbelt working correctly. It started to lock up once in a while and you just had to be slow when unbuckling the seatbelt. Now it would not unlock at all. Vehicle has been good over the years with only one other issue the dealership corrected three time before being hassle free. No one could tell me why the buckle would not open just that i had to pay to replace. *tr

I was in a low impact wreck--no damage to my 2001 nissan quest van. My 7 year old son was in the very back bench seat on the passenger side. When i slammed on my brakes to avoid being hit by the other vehicle my son's seat belt released and he went flying into the front passenger seat and then hit the side door. I want an explanation as to why the seat belt buckle failed in a low impact crash. I will be taking it to a dealership to get it looked at. My son was injured in the crash and had to be transported to a trauma unit. *tr

I put the driver's side seat belt on and can not get it off, it's stuck. I can not get out of my seat belt. It will not unbuckle. I had to wiggle out of it to exit the vehicle. If i were in a wreck i would've died in that seat belt. I still cannot unbuckle it. I have to slip into the shoulder part to even drive the vehicle. My auto mechanic told me that something was wrong with the spring inside the little mechanism that holds and/or releases the seat belt buckle. He said he wasn't touching it. He said to take it to the dealership. I will do that tomorrow. Below, i am asked to list the number of failures, i put one but it is ongoing. In other words, it has failed everytime i have tried to unbuckle it. It's simply stuck and will not come undone. *jb
