| 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 | |||

| I bought my car new in 2006. it was sold with the tubless tires or tires that can be driven over 100 miles to the nearest place that can help you. the first set of tires were exactly like the second set of tires. they were rotated and balanced and inflated to manufacturer recommendations. the tires did not last even a year. i had to replace each set due to poor wearing. they became treadless and the cords were actually wearing through the tires. i still have my last set for someone to look at. one of the tires were actually flat but due to the faulty make of the tire my cares sensors did not detect that the tire was actually running flat. the tire is very unsafe and is a hazard . the rotors and brakes also shake when you mash on the brake pedal. i have since put new tires on that are regular tires and not tubless tires. i have also take my vehicle to the dealer who has turned the rotors and put on new brake pads. i also have taken it to another mechanic who has on the first visit turned the rotors and adjusted the brake pads and on the next visit had to replace the rotors and brakepads both. i am still having trouble with my rotors and brakes. the rotors shake when you put on the brakes still. my tires have been fine since i changed tires. *tr | |||

| These comments are to be added to the original complaint - 10222492. i took my vehicle to the nissan dealer on two different times; once at 8,000 miles and another time at 15,000 miles. when i had my brakes replaced at 24,000 miles they said i was supposed to bring it in at 10,000 miles to check some pins on all four wheels, that control the brake pads. when they reviewed the work sheets for those two times, they was no mention of checking the brake pins. a item as serious as brakes should be highlighted and shown on the screen, as are the oil changes and tire rotation. check the brake pins is not even shown on this screen. this is the most serious system of a car. i feel that nissan should have a screen warning that tells you to have these pins checked. it is obvious to me that there is a design problem with their braking systems and the onus is placed on the customer to read the fine print in the owner's manual to see all these details. when in fact, it could be displayed on the driver's information screen. i feel that nissan has blown the safety of their vehicles. this is the comment that i want added to complaint 10222492. *tr | |||

| I was experiencing brake rotor shimmy on an 06 quest. went to dealer near where i live now. bought vehicle in tx- new- . checked with dealer and said i wanted my warranty rights upheld to replace 2 front rotors, which are beginning to shimmy badly, creating a safety concern for me . dealer said that i would have to pay 39 dollars for west hills nissan nissan to inspect the vehicle. dealer also proceeded to explain all the reason why they may not honor my warranty. dealers first question was did i buy the vehicle there, which started the 20 possibilities scenario. i left the dealer, angry and expressed it to them. complaint filed with nissan who seems to have much of their customer service in manilla or india, very poor communication with them also. *jb | |||

| I took my 2006 nissan quest in to have the tires rotated. the service manager said they reviewed front brakes and rear brakes and said they needed to be replaced. the front brakes had 15% life remaining and the rear brakes had 10% of there life remaining. the total cost was $626.91. this van had only 24,199 miles on it. i wrote a letter to nissan customer serivce. they said they could not do any thing about this repaid, because the brakes were worn evenly all the way around. i told them that nissan should tell their customers that their brakes do not last 25,000 miles. this should be in the customers book. instead we find out about this through a simple tire rotation. we have owned gm cars up to this point and we have never had any problem such as this. the gm brakes would last 40 to 50000 miles. this is a major safety issue that nissan has not addressed and they should be sending out a bulletin to all their customers about this brake issue before somebody has a serious accident. *tr | |||
