2007 NISSAN QUEST Engine Problems

I JUST REPLACED ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THEY HAVE GONE BAD AGAIN. AFTER LOOKING UP MANY FORUMS ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW. WHY HAS THIS NOT BECOME A RECALL ON NISSAN'S PART? ARE MOTOR MOUNTS NOT A CONCERN? EVERYONE IS STATING THAT NO MATTER WHAT THEY USE, EITHER AFTERMARKET OR GENUINE NISSAN PARTS, THEY ALL FAIL.

MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST WITH144,500 MILES, HAS A REAL BAD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR TAKING OFF FROM A STANDSTILL. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT IS FROM BAD MOTOR MOUNTS. WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING, THE MOTOR MOVES A LOT. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY MORE NOISES WHEN TURNING, MAINLY WIN BRAKING AND ACCELERATING, BUT ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP OR DOWN A GEAR.

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND DRIVING HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVED UP BUT DIDN'T MOVE THEN IT CONTINUED TO DRIVE EVERY NOW AND THEN IT DID THIS . NO HORN NO AIR BAGS SUSPENSION THEN FELT FUNNY.

MY VAN HAS 120K MILES ON IT. FOR THE PAST ONE YEAR, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A RATTLE SOUND IN THE ENGINE. IT COMES ON A COLD START AND WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. MY MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AND SAID THESE NISSAN ENGINES HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. LATELY THE RATTLE SOUND KEEPS COMING FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE SOME OTHER PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE THAT WOULD STALL THE ENGINE WHILE RUNNING ON THE ROAD. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, WHICH IT ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT.

TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. LOUD RATTLING WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, $1670.

Mileage: 120,300

TRANSMISSION JERKS/SLIPS BETWEEN GEARS ON DAILY BASIS. THIS JUST APPEARED IN THE SPRING AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING/INCREASING PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO MECHANIC AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND ASKED FOR RESOLUTION. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT IF TAKE FOOT OFF GAS, COAST, THEN PUT FOOT ON GAS AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE JERK IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO AFFECT THE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE CAR. IT SEEMS LIKE EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL JUST NOT ENGAGE AND I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT ON SIDE OF ROAD.

RATTLE NOISE WHEN STARTED AND A CELEBRATE TIMING BELT ISSUES

Mileage: 70,000

WE WERE HEADED OUT ON A 2400 MILE TRIP AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE OUR VAN WAS READY. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE STRUTS. GOT THOSE FIXED. A WEEK LATER WE WERE BACK IN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE AND THEY FIXED THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS. A FEW DAYS LATER AGAIN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE WE FOUND OUT THE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED FIXED.

Mileage: 122,000

TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER BEGAN TO FAIL AROUND 105,000. COST TO REPLACE WAS 2166.57. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TIMING CHAINS WERE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER THAN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONING SYSTEMS.

AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED EMITTING A WHITE SMOKE, I TOOK TO SEVERAL CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND ALL OF THEM SAID IT NEEDS AN ENGINE OVERHAUL WITH NO GURANTEE THAT THE WHITE SMOKE WILL DISAPPEAR, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT CONSUME COOLANT OR MOTOR OIL AND HAS NO HEAD GASKET ENGINE DAMAGE

1.VECHICLE RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWED IT HAD 1/4 TANK AND DISPLAYED 24 MILES BEFORE EMPTY. WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. 2. VECHICLE VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING 40 MILES SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE TRANSMITION. 3.VECHICLE AS LOUD NOISE COMING FROM TIMING CHAIN AREA . ACCORDING TO MECHANIC THIS IS A COSTLY AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSANS. WHERE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE AS PERMATURE WARE CAUSING TIME CHAIN TO BECOME LOOSE AND CUASE NOISE COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 98,013

I PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST SE JANUARY OF 2014 AND AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE VAN STARTED TO MAKE THE NOW INFAMOUS TIMING CHAIN RATTLE NOISE UPON COLD STARTING THE VAN. IT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO AWAY AFTER 10 MINUTES OR MORE, BUT ITS REALLY ANNOYING TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME I START MY VAN, AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND OFFER A FREE PERMANENT FIX TO THIS PROBLEM.

Mileage: 90,000

I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN FIXED PAID A LOT OF MONEY AND IT'S DOING IT AGAIN MY MECHANIC SAID THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE HAS THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL ON 1-27-2016, MY WIFE CALLED ME AND SAID HER CAR JUST QUIT AND WON'T START. LUCKILY I WAS OFF WORK THAT DAY AND WAS ABLE TO TOW THE MINIVAN HOME. THINKING IT WAS A MINOR ISSUE WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR REPAIR. I EXPECTED THEM TO CHANGE A FUEL FILTER OR MAYBE A FUEL PUMP BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND IS GOING TO NEED MAJOR REPAIR. AT ONLY 85000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN AREA OF CONCERN. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE FOUND MANY LAWSUITS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT KEPT INSTALLING THE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS AND WON'T DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, EVEN WHEN I SPENT AN EXTRA 3500 DOLLARS FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I REALIZE THERE IS NATURALLY GOING TO BE PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE, BUT SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS NOT WHAT YOUR THINKING ABOUT WITH UNDER 100,000 MILES. FOR NISSAN TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NOT ADDRESS OR CORRECT THE FAULT IS SHAMEFUL. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THEY KEPT KNOWINGLY USING THE FAULTY COMPONENTS FOR YEARS. OUR WHOLE SOCIETY SEEMS TO BE RELEGATED TO CUTTING CORNERS, AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS, TO GET AHEAD; NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE.

Mileage: 85,000

SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN IS GOING OUT. 116,000 MILES WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THIS YET!!! WE CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT MESSING UP THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THIS IS A $4,000 REPAIR! MANY MANY MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 116,000

A HOSE THAT MOVES ANTIFREEZE COOLANT INTO VEHICLE I BELIEVE TO BE CAKED A VACUUM HOSE FELL OFF CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK OUT COMPLETELY... IN ADDITION THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES FOR NO REASON AND JERKS.. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE ASK MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH I DID AND STILL ISSUE PERSISTS .. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND STATING THE SOLENOIDS IN TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED... VAN LOSES POWER UNEXPECTEDLY. . THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING MOSTLY AT LOW SPEEDS

Mileage: 140,000

BOUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN 8/5/13 WITH THE DEALER CONVINCE MY THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOOD AND INSPECTED BUMPER TO BUMPER,AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW TIMES, MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND PRESENT IS 83,000 MILES,I STARTED HEARING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIMING COMPARTMENT,I CALLED NISSANUSA AND INFORMED THEM AND THEY ADVS TO TAKE IT IN FOR INSPECTION,THEY FOUND THAT THE GUIDE FOR THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM HAS BROKEN AND IF NOT REPLACE IT WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT,SO NOW I CAN'T USE THE VEHICLE.

THE PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE DEVELOPS A TERRIBLE LEAK. EVENTUALLY REQUIRED A 1/2 BOTTLE OF PS FLUID NEARLY EVERY DAY! THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE HOSE IS "BURIED" BEHIND THE ENGINE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REPLACE. A REPLACEMENT HOSE IS LESS THAN $100 BUT IT TAKES MULTIPLE HOURS OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION TO REPLACE. THIS TYPE OF POOR WORKMANSHIP IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE FACT THAT IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM IS UNCONSCIONABLE. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CONSUMERS. THE LEAKED CAUSED STEERING ISSUES ON NUMEROUSE OCCASIONS. IT NEVER FAILED COMPLETELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CARRIED A GALLON JUG OF PS FLUID WITH ME EVERYWHERE I WENT. NOW, NOT ONLY DID IT TAKE ME FOREVER TO REPAIR THIS ITEM, MY DRIVEWAY IS AN EYESORE. POWER STEERING FLUID IS A VERY CAUSTIC PRODUCT AND DOES NOT CLEAN UP THEREFORE IT HAS DESTROYED MY DRIVEWAY. I'M SORELY DISAPPOINTED.

Mileage: 97,000

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST CASE OF NEGLIGENCE I HAVE WITNESSED FROM AN AUTOMAKER! AGAIN NISSAN IGNORES AND COVERS UP A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE TIMING CHAIN 'DEATH RATTLE' IS HIGHLY ANNOYING AND MAKES THE OWNER FEEL AS IF THE ENGINE WILL 'GO' AT ANY MINUTE. THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT CANNOT BE PERFORMED WITHOUT REMOVING THE ENGINE FROM THE CAR IS APPALLING. THE POOR DESIGN ON THE TENSIONER GUIDE IS WELL DOCUMENT BY NISSAN AND YET THEY CONTINUED TO PASS OFF INFERIOR PRODUCTS TO UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS. TRULY, TRULY DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR FROM AN AUTOMAKER. TO EASE THEIR CONSCIOUS THEY ISSUES A TSB ON THE SUBJECT. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. MY DEALER QUOTED ME $2800 TO FIX THIS DEFECT. $2800! $2800! ARE YOU SERIOUS? NISSANS LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE CUSTOMER IS INEXCUSABLE.

LATELY, WHEN I START THE CAR, THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT COMES FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN IT GOES AWAY. I HAVE NOTICED IT ON COLD STARTS. MY MECHANIC SAYS, IT COULD BE THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. WHEN I SEARCH THE NISSAN FORUMS, I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THE COST TO FIX THIS IS AROUND 2000.00. I AM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD FIX THIS NOW OR WAIT FOR NISSAN TO ISSUE A RE-CALL FOR THIS. SINCE THE RATTLING SOUND GOES AWAY AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, ONE PART OF ME TELLS ME I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. ANOTHER PART TELLS ME WHAT IF THE TIMING CHAIN FAILS IN A BUSY HIGHWAY CAUSING A CRASH. PLEASE REVIEW AND MAKE NISSAN ISSUE A RE-CALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

TRAMISSION ACTUALLY FAILED IN SEPT 2012 BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE MILAGE OR DATE... IT SAT NOT MOVING WHILE WE MADE THE LAST 6 -PAYMENTS ON THE CAR TO GET IT PAYED OFF. IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING. IT WAS FIXED IN FEB 2013 THE TRASNMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT, IT ALSO GOT A BRAND NEW RADIATOR I GUESS IT HAT A HOLE IN IT. NISSAN HAS KNOW ABUT THE ISSUES FOR A WHILE BUT FAILS TO BE HELD ACCOUTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS.

Mileage: 85,381

TRANSMISSIONS GEAR SLIPS AND JERKS UNEXPECTEDLY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL JERK WHEN ACCELERATING. WILL PROBABLY NEED TO REBUILD THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION THAT WILL COST PLENTY. ALSO DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE LEVEL AND LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AND ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OUT. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. NEEDED TO MAKE EVASIVE MOVES TO AVOID ACCIDENT AND GET OFF ROAD. CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. DASHBOARD FUEL GAUGE SAID 1/4 TANK OF GAS. ONBOARD TRIP DISPLAY SAID ZERO (0) DISTANCE TILL EMPTY, BUT I DO NOT USE THIS. I HAD TO GET ASSISTANCE AND 1 PUT LESS THAN 1 GALLON GAS IN CAR. FUEL GAUGE DID NOT MOVE AND STILL SAYS THERE IS 1/4 TANK GAS, WHILE TRIP COMPUTER REGISTERED ABOVE 0 DTE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 27 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AND HAVE ALWAYS RELIED ON THE GAUGE, NOT THE TRIP COMPUTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD 2 KIDS IN THE CAR, AND I AM GRATEFUL MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING, AS SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STEER OR APPLY BRAKES IN SUCH A SITUATION WHEN LOSS OF POWER OCCURS UNDER THIS SITUATION. THE TRIP COMPUTER CAN BE WRONG, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE DASH BOARD SHOULD ALWAYS BE CORRECT. BASIC PRINCIPLE. *TR

Mileage: 130,190

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND COMES TO A STOP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE I DECIDED TO CHECK THE MTE AND GAS GAUGE WHICH BOTH INDICATE THERE IS PLENTY OF GAS TO CONTINUE. I HAD THE BATTERY,ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED AND THEY WERE FINE. SO I DECIDED TO ADD MORE GAS THEN SHAZAM IT STARTED. PLEASE INFORM IF THERE'S A RECALL OR HOW TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THANKS. *TR

HI WE WERE ON WAY FROM NIAGARA TO HARRISBURG IN OUR NISSAN QUEST 2007. THERE WAS NO MAINTENANCE ISSUE IN MY VEHICLE. I HAD A FUEL FILLED AT CORNING AND ON THE WAY TOWARDS HARRISBURG ON US-15 NEAR TO LAWERENCEVILLE, MY VEHICLE WAS ON 65MPH AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY IT GOT COMPLETELY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE MECHANIC NEAR TOIGA TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAS SNAPPED AND HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE DAMAGE AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN VEHICLE. NEED YOUR HELP TO REGISTER THE COMPLAINT. *TR

Mileage: 103,254

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW. DRIVING ALONG IN PEAK TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. NO POWER STEERING AND ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS BOTH OCCASIONS THE FIRST TIME I WAS ALONE THE SECOND TIME I HAD MY GRAND BABIES WITH ME AND THAT WAS TERRIFYING FOR THEM AS THE OTHER ROAD USERS WHERE WHIZZING PAST AND THEY WERE STOPPED. BOTH TIMES I LOOKED AT THE DIGITAL READING ON THE DISPLAY AND IT DISPLAYED THE MILES AS 80 MILES TO EMPTY AND 60 MILES TO EMPTY AND THE MANUAL GAUGE STILL SHOWED JUST UNDER 1/4 TANK LEFT. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON EITHER TIME. THIS NEEDS TO BE SORTED OUT BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED ESPECIALLY AS THIS IS USED TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN....UPDATED 04-10-14 *BF

TOOK MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RATTLE, VIBRATION AND PULSING OUT OF THE FRONT END. SERVICE WRITER TELLS ME IT'S A TIMING CHAIN (NOT BELT) THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED HIM IF THAT WAS THE NOISE I HEARD (I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE) AND I WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T SURE AND THAT PROBABLY WASN'T THE NOISE I WAS HEARING. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HAVE THE VIBRATIONS WORSE, NOISE MORE PRONOUNCED AND THE THOUGHT OF A 2000.00 BILL ON THE HORIZON FOR A TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO PUSH AND CONSTANTLY PULL TO THE LEFT. ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES HAD NO EFFECT AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE VAN SEEMS UNSTABLE AT ENTRY HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NISSAN USA CLEARLY DOESN'T CARE SO I'M HOPING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEM. *TR

Mileage: 83,000

IT WAS A NOISE COMING UNDER THE CAR WE TAKE TO MECHANIC .THEY TOLD ME TIMING CHAIN IS LOOSE DON'T DRIVE LIKE THIS IT IS DANGER 3500 DOLLARS TO FIX IT . WE TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN THEY SAID THE SAME . ASKING LOTSOF MONEY TO FIX IT . THIS PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURE FAULT BUT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE. NO MORE NISSAN FOR ME I HAVEN'T FINISH PAYMENT YET

DURING REGULAR OIL CHANGE DEALER ADVISED LOWER "A" ARM OF SUSPENSION AND LEFT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED CHANGE. I RESPONDED I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY GO AHEAD. DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY, I NEEDED TO PAY CASH FIRST. I INSISTED THE DEALER SEND SOMEONE TO THE CAR A COPY OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER FINALLY ACCEPTED THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ANOMALY IS THAT THE OIL DRAIN AND FILTER ARE IN IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY TO THE SUSPENSION AND ENGINE MOUNT AND THE DEFECTS WERE NOT DETECTED DURING PREVIOUS OIL CHANGES. IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DEFECTS WERE FOUND. THE DEALER EXPECTED NO WARRANTY EXISTED AND THEREFORE CASH WOULD NEED TO BE PAID. CASH PAYMENT FOR NON-WARRANTY IS KEPT SOLELY BY THE DEALER. MY CONCERN IS THE DEFECTS WERE FOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND WE WERE SENT BACK OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY IN A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WAITING FOR THE FACTORY WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY DEALERS ARE SENDING DANGEROUS CARS BACK OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR FACTORY WARRANTIES TO EXPIRE AND NOT HAVE TO SPLIT REPAIR FEES WITH CORPORATE. *TR

THE RATTLING NOISE BEGAN AT 45,000 MILES. WHEN I ACCELERATE, A RATTLING CHAIN SOUND IS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I CURRENTLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. IT HAS TO BE REPLACED OR IT WILL EVENTUALLY DO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. IT'S AN 8 HR PROCESS. IT'S ESTIMATED AT $1800 FOR THE REPAIR. THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THERE'S NO RECALL. THERE IS A REPAIR BULLETIN OUT BUT NO RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER READS 20-25MPH WHEN IT'S AT "PARKED" AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. I AM DRIVING 60MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD AND 100MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE REAR BLOWER TURNS ON BY ITSELF WHEN I TURN ON THE ENGINE. I HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THE BLOWER TURNS OFF. THE FRONT BLOWER IS OFF DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. THESE ARE REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED BY OTHER OWNERS AND YET THERE'S NO RECALL, ONLY SERVICE BULLETINS. *TR

I HAVE RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN USA REGARDING THE TIMING CHAIN RATTLING NOISE ON MY 2007 NISSAN QUEST. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE INDICATING A MAJOR DESIGN DEFICIENCY WITH CHAIN GUIDE, TENSIONER AND CHAINS. TIMING CHAIN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GO OUT AT THIS LOW MILES INTERVAL, AND NOTING THE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, I WOULD REQUEST THAT THIS ISSUE BEING INVESTIGATED AND BE MADE INTO A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE CHAIN WERE TO BREAK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. *TR
