CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Nissan Quest is great in terms of low complaints, but it also has an abysmal crash test rating for one very common type of impact.

The IIHS' "small overlap" crash test rates the vehicle's ability to protect front seat passengers when the car is impacted across 1/4th of the front bumper.

This mimics hitting a pole, or an off-center crash into another car — more common in the real world than a full frontal head-on crash.

See our crash test page for the detailed results — As you can see from the IIHS' crash test video, the Nissan Quest does not protect intrusion into the passenger space & major injury to the front seat passengers is likely.

Hello, my name is [xxx]. I bought a Nissan Quest 2012, and I've had it for about 2 or 3 years. When I bought it, the seats were good. Overtime, the seats have become worn out. The handle to rest your hand has a rip in half. The seat (driver's) is also being worn. I'm not sure if the leather is bad quality because it's only been about 7 years of use and the leather is being worn out. Additionally, the back seats are in good condition unlike the passenger seat, which is beginning to mirror what the driver's looks like. I only mention this because I own other cars that are older, and I've had for a while and the leather isn't a problem. I wanted to know if this was a recall. Thank you.
