This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving about 50 mph when I heard a noise coming out of the engine crank noise when I stopped to check, the engine stopped and never started again I towed to garage and they say it is the timing chain.
My Nissan Quest has been making a rattling noise that is progressively getting worse. I took it in today and was told that I had problems with the timing chain and that I should take it to a dealer or engine shop that is equipped to fix such an issue. One of the reasons I favored buying this car was because of the fact that Nissan uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Thus, I wouldn't have the expense of replacing a timing belt in the future. I was lead to believe that timing chains would not be something that I would need to fix. Because this problem is prevalent among Quest owners, I believe that Nissan should recall their vehicles that suffer from the same design flaw. If Nissan doesn't address this issue, someone is going to get injured or killed as a result of one of their faulty timing belts breaking while one of their faulty cars is being driven.
