2012 NISSAN QUEST Unknown Or Other Problems

I purchased the van and noticed that at times it would suddenly de-accelerate and drop from whatever speed im doing and refuse to speed up even if I press the gas peddle to the floor. Id come up to a stop sign and stop, then at times it wouldnt accelerate, even with the peddle to the floor, it would barely move forward. I brought it back to the person I purchased it from tried to describe what happened, they had someone check the transmission and said it was fine. Its continued to do this, and has almost caused crashes because it does it periodically and without warning on inclines, at red lights, if I driven a long distance (i.e. 1hr or so) etc, and when stopped. Its done this especially when it comes to hills, its terrifying but I have no other vehicles and now only drive it locally, avoid hills, and only if I absolutely have to. This is my first Nissan and wasn't aware of issues like this as I typically buy Buick's, so I researched Nissan issues and recalls and recently saw a recall from October 2025 related to the fuel pump injector system reset that describes what ive experienced exactly, but when I took it to the Nissan dealership in Saratoga NY, they said its not a recall, just a warning for my model and year, and they would need to charge me to inspect it, and didnt advise if it was repairable. Anyone else who has this model Nissan I would want warned immediately, and I mean immediately. Its scary seeing other vehicles coming up behind me and I dont know if my van will accelerate or not, I took out a loan to buy this vehicle and am still paying it off. I cant buy another right now. The actual recall for what appears to be the same issue came out for 2013 and newer Nissans but again, should include this model for year 2012. Those of us with this vehicle should be included in the recall so we can drive safely as well. Please make this update to the recall asap. Thank you for your time and consideration to review this

The dashboard on my 2012 Nissan Quest S is splitting at the edges leaving a gap between 1/16-1/32 wide. The area around the passenger air bag is now outlined and I am concerned it my effect the air bag. This started about a year ago and is getting worse.

Dashboard has a square cut on the passnger side, it is like a blade cut.

FRONT SUN ROOF EXPLODED, SHOWERING GLASS OVER THE ROOF. DRIVING ON A SMOOTH CITY STREET AT 35 MPH. NO OTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON IN THE VICINITY, AND NOTHING OVERHEAD. TEMPERATURE NEAR FREEZING AND SPITTING SNOW. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY.

ON 8/7/17 MY WIFE WAS HIT IN THE LEFT SIDE OF HER EYE/HEAD AREA BY THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WHILE SHE WAS TRYING TO GET OUR 2 YEAR OLD SON OUT OF THE CAR. OUR CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. SHE WENT INSIDE OUR HOME TO GET A BAG FOR A BEACH DAY WITH OUR 5 CHILDREN, BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES, SHE DIDN'T COME BACK TO THE CAR. I WENT INSIDE WITH OUR CHILDREN TO FIND OUT WHAT SHE WAS DOING, AND I FOUND HER ON THE FLOOR, HEAD DOWN, WITH A POOL OF BLOOD BEHIND HER HEAD, AND SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS. I CALLED 911 AND MY SON BEGAN CPR, AS SHE HAD FOAM COMING FROM HER MOUTH. MY SON AFTER NUMEROUS CONTINUOUS PUMPS TO HER CHEST, AROUND 5 MINUTES, SHE FINALLY TOOK A BREATH. WHEN THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED, THEY TOOK MY WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE CONTINUED TO HAVE A VERY HARD TIME BREATHING AND UPON ARRIVAL TO THE HOSPITAL, SHE WAS INTUBATED WITH A VENTILATOR TO HELP HER BREATH. TESTS REVEALED SHE HAD A BRAIN HEMORRHAGE AND SEVERAL LACERATIONS TO HER HEAD. SHE WAS KEPT IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 11 DAYS, AND WAS DISCHARGED HOME TO BED REST AND GRADUAL WALKING WITH THE HELP OF A PHYSICAL THERAPIST, NURSE AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST. WE HAVE 5 CHILDREN, ALL OF WHOM CAN BE HIT BY THE SLIDING DOOR IF THE ELECTRICAL BUTTON IS PUSHED ON. WE NOW LEAVE THAT BUTTON OFF, AS WE FEAR THEY WILL ALSO GET HIT BY THE DOOR, AS THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS IN THE DOOR.

DASH CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

OUR AC QUIT WORKING AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE AC LINES HAD HOLES IN THEM DUE TO CORROSION. THIS IS ABSURD FOR A VEHICLE ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $1700 DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE TO DROP THE SUBFRAME IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE CORRODED LINES. CLEARLY THIS IS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR THE SUBSTANDARD MATERIAL USED IN THESE LINES. WE APPEAR TO BE THE SECOND CONSUMER REPORTING THIS ISSUE ON THIS SITE.

MAY 2014, I HAD A WET DRIVER SIDE A PILLAR THAT WAS LEAKING. NISSAN ATTRIBUTED IT TO A DEFECTIVE SUNROOF WITH A CRACK. THE HEADLINER, SUBWOOFER AND AMPLIFIER WERE REPLACED. ON JULY 10, 2015, I TOOK MY CAR TO A FLAGSHIP CARWASH. AFTER MY CAR WAS WASHED I NOTICED WATER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR SUNROOF AND ON THE HEADLINER IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES OF THE CAR WAS WET IN ALL THE ABOVE NOTED LOCATIONS. MY RADIO ALSO STOPPED WORKING. NISSAN HAD MY CAR FOR FIVE DAYS AND SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE LEAK OR DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE RADIO. THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE RADIO AS IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL RADIO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DISCOVERED RUST BEHIND THE PANELS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IN THE CARGO AREA AND 2 INCHES OF WATER UNDER MY CARGO AREA. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FEB 2013 NEW.

OUR VEHICLES AIR CONDITIONING PIPES HAVE CORRODED THROUGH TO THE POINT WHERE THE LINE HAS HOLES IN IT . THE REPAIR IS 1,200.00 WHICH IS EXTREME FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY SEEN 2.5 WINTERS. OUR OTHER VEHICLE HAS SEEN FIVE WINTERS AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE SAME CONDITIONS HAS HAS NOT ONE BIT OF RUST ON IT. THE VEHICLES CONSTRUCTION OR DEFECTIVE PARTS MUST BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND NISSAN SHOULD CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.
