| Weird electrical problems,i have taken to 2 different people, 1 of which specializes in transmissions, the problem is that when the vehicle is warmed up the transmission doesn't know what gear it is in, on initial investigation the problem appears to be the trottle position sensor but that was replaced and still no fix. they hooked up computers to the car while driving and say the computer doesn't read the tps being operative during driving but no problems can be found with the wiring and computer board. when the engine transmission starts to mess up the locks start to lock and unlock by themselves while driving, the check engine light is on and the overdrive light blinks off and on. at one time the air bag light come on for no reason it was checked and problem found. the sliding door latch broke within a couple of months of buying. the back windshield wiper motor would also come on by itself, we ended up taking the fuse out for that. | |||

| The srs airbag system module located under the drivers side dash is defective. this is a problem which is well known on the 1996 quest. the vehicle owner becomes aware of the problem by the red dash indictor light blinking on and off. nissan is aware of the srs system failure but will not cover replacement for this part unless vehicle is under warranty. this is a chronic failure of the airbag system and nissan should be held accountable for it. | |||
