Steering wheel started shaking when I would press the brake. So took the van to my mechanic said my rotor needed replacing. While since then I had to replaced the front rotors five times. They keep getting bent. The steering wheel shaking stop with new rotors and start when rotors bend again. And yes the shaking is uncontrollable when it happens. Some one told me the Nissan Sentra had that type of problem too.
My Quest was purchased 12/06. Since then the odometer has malfunctioned. They would not fix it. The brake disc have malfunctioned twice, even after Nissan replaced them. The response from Nissan was "hotspots happen normally in discbrakes". the motor mounts went bad after 2.5 years. Now I am faced, after a little more than 4 years with "power steering pump" replacement and "rack and pinion assembly.
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.
