ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

 We have a 2006 nissan quest with 85,000 miles on it. for a while we have been hearing a whine when we accelorate. we have been told that we will need to replace the timing chain for about $2,700. when i started to research this it seems like this a common enough issue that it needs to be looked into. timing chains should not have any issues till atleast 200,000 miles.

 The fan under the dash which blows the air through the front vents has stopped functioning after making odd noises. the fan controlling the air flow in the back passenger section works correctly. *tr

 Dt*: the contact stated while driving 15 mph through an intersection, the engine stalled without warning, and would not restart. the vehicle was towed to a dealer who determined the cylinder head needed to be replaced. after the replacement, upon attempting to start the engine, it would not start. the contact charged the battery, and drove the vehicle to the dealer who determined there was a loose battery cable. afterwards, there was a rubbing noise coming from underneath the vehicle followed by an electrical odor. the vehicle was taken to the dealer to await further inspection. the manufacturer was alerted. the second time the incident happened, the consumer was told a bag had attached itself to the motor, but offered no reason as to why the vehicle was shutting off. every time the vehicle shuts off, there is an electrical smell. updated 12/1/06. *jb

 I purchased a 2006 nissan quest on march 14, 2006 form nissan 112 in medford, n.y. and i have had nothing but a multitude of problems with this vehicle due to many defects. i have had to have the car serviced 5 times in the first month and a half of ownership and there are still many problems that have not and cannot be resolved. i was told by nys senator lavalle's office to contact you. vin # 5n1bv28u36n103305-the car smells like rotten eggs, transmission slips, buck and jerks causing delay of acceleration. does not always start on first key turn, rugs in hatch area stained from multiple leaks. new replaced computer mileage does not match odometer mileage therefore service screen is useless. dashboard chipped and not set correctly, can see inside. radio does not always display title/artist and letters become skewed/broken or stuck. ticking sound that comes from front pass. side dash. there is black glue all over exterior from re-sealing the rear window. *jb
