| While driving on highway the van started to shake while applying the brake and then there was no power as the gas was pressed. the gas was to the floor and the max speed was 50 mph. the more you drove the worst it got. i am only talking driving approximately 15-20 mile. when you first start out it is not as bad, but it is absolutely not safe to drive nor am i willing to drive it anymore. i have read articles on this and it certainly seems like a common problem. lets get it together nissan!!!!! i really want to know if going import is worth it. i have a 2001 gmc with over 175,000 with no problems. *tr | |||

| The failure occurs while driving at either local traffic speeds or highway speeds. it is an intermittent problem. the failure is that, while braking, the vehicle accelerates on its own, as if the accelerator has been depressed for passing, causing the transmission to drop to a lower gear and the vehicle to lurch forward. the brake pedal must be vigorously depressed to counteract the acceleration. experience has shown that, if the transmission is slipped into neutral and then returned to drive, the vehicle will return to normal until the next incident. the incidents have occurred six times over the past two years, the most recent being on sunday, november 15, while trying to brake as i approached a dangerous curve on a mountain road. please note that the accelerator was not obstructed by the floor mat or any other object during these incidents, nor was the accelerator pedal depressed at the same time as the brake pedal. i took the vehicle to eisenhauer nissan on at their first appointment on november 17, 2009. i also called nissan corporate headquarters to report the issue. the dealership was unable to diagnose the problem or correct it because the intermittent problem was not occurring at that moment. on november 17 nissan regional representative owen welch responded to my second call to nissan hq, but told me there was nothing nissan could do for me. at my insistence he said he would follow up. welch called again on november 23, 2009 to inform me that nissan couldn't help and that he was closing my file. the vehicle has approximately 52,000 miles and is still under warranty. *tr | |||

| The transmission failed and now is being replaced at a minimum charge of $3500. the transmission mechanic said that nissan used shoddy materials in its transmissions for the 2006 year. i live in mountainous terrain and said defective transmission could have been very dangerous. in addition, i note that many websites refer to nissan vehicles having defective transmissions. | |||

| 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 | |||
