04' Quest updates

[mwebber78]

I'm new to this board but becuase this van is a 1st year design I decided to join just in case I have problems! Anyways before taking delivery of my 04' they completed all the technical service bulliens and 1 recall. Be sure if you have sliding door rattles or rear hatch rattles to bring it right back, they have gotten tsb's on how to fix these. They added foam panels to the interior structure of the sliding doors, replaced "ball joints" on rear hatch struts which made noise, added a different spec. grease to the hinges and replaced the door actuators so that they lock tightly in cold weather. Has anyone had a dealer who was able to stop the 3rd row latches from making noise???????? I only get a noise once in a great while but I'm curious if they are adjustable?

I have to back to dealer to fix the 3rd row latches problem right after I purchase my 04 Quest on Sept. 2003. It is Stevens Creek Nissa at Santa Clara, Ca. They fix the 3rd row latches problem, but not for sliding door noice. It had been fixed on previous recall at couples months ago. Now I have steering wheel shakes problem, when the brake applied, and speed at 30-40MPH. Anybody has this or more problem with 04 Quest?

What did they do for your 3rd row latches? I have had the van a few weeks and the latch noise I heard hasn't come back since I folded the 3rd row down to load some stuff then put it back up. Seems to be quiet. I went for a long ride with the wife this weekend, the van rides real quietly so far, I heard an occasional rattle from the rear hatch over rough pavement but I don't think thats uncommon for a big van with lots of plastic (I'm sure Caravans do it) Anyone have a Caravan that can give their opinion? jwkw, let me know about the steering wheel shake problem and the fix just in case it happens to me. It sounds like one of your discs may have gotten warped, it can happen after stop and go traffic when the brakes heat up and you drive/park/or put through the carwash hot brakes. The slight warp sends feedback through the wheel. They can usually remove the problem disc and cut it down. They will most likely do it under warrenty .

I have the same problem with the steering wheel shaking when slowing down at high speed on freeways. I thought this was normal.

I will ask other dealer. My current dealer is not very good. I take mine to Dublin Nissan in the bay area.

I had a problem with the steering wheel shaking when slowing down. It especially occurred when going down hill. I took the vehicle to the dealer and had them turn the rotors and the problem went away.

My dealer also turned the rotors on ours as well.

My dealer fixed the steering wheel shaking problem 2 months ago, but the problem coming back now. The brake also making noise, but they can not find where the problem is. Not a good dealer, consider to change.

I have not had nothing but trouble out of my quest. It has been in the shop 16 different times for nine different things. The nissan quest tech is comming to pick up my van and I hope that they will fix it or replace it befor my arbtration date. If not I guess I will have to fight it to the end..

There is a technical service bulletin for the rear seat if it rattles. The dealer will have to replace the Latches in the seat, this will fix the noise.

no problems here in my 04 Quest. Runs great. Sorry to hear of the problems you are having.
