| I have a 2007 nissan quest i bought new. it has rear sonar as one of the options and due to the size, shape and blind spots it is needed. i noticed with 35000 miles that the rear sonar was inop- since i bought it for my wife, i was unaware it was inop for a while. it was not covered under warranty because i have owned it for 37 mos. after some research it appears it is not only common in all years of the quest but the titan as well. the problem is a defective aural buzzer. when you have a fault somewhere in the system the off light should come on letting you know the system is off- however, it illuminates sporadically and what you think is a working system is really not- i have talked with people who were unaware the system was off until they backed into something causing minimal but expensive damage. i am an aircraft mechanic and cannot see how there is not a recall on the buzzer- when backing up looking behind you and using your mirrors there is a huge blind area in the back of the van that is caused by the gradual increase in the slope of the body panels. my concern is that it is a matter of time before someone gets injured. the problem is that nissan uses a defective buzzer that they know will fail- it is a cheap fix for the dealers however for the consumer it would cost upwards of 400 dollars for a buzzer that can be purchased at radio shack for 5 dollars. i replaced mine with the original nissan part that cost 60 dollars and find it offensive they have not voluntarily fixed a problem they know exists- it is safety related and as someone who fixes jets for a major airline, safety is first and foremost along with a reliable, dependable product. this should be a recall. thank you | |||
