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.

I bought my 2012 Nissan Quest LE used from a private party who took great care of his home and vehicles. It had 49,000 miles on it when purchased. I did notice however that only 12,000 miles into owning it, I periodically felt a kickback. Being a very busy single mother, I ignored the issue until I couldn't ignore it any longer at around 84,000 miles when it completely stalled on the highway after coming to a stop at a red light. I tried getting the transmission fluid changed, and that seemed to help slightly. However after two more months and a few more thousand miles, it stalled on me again with a car full of kids. It turned out that I had to replace the transmission, and at the time I still owed over $12,000 on it, and it was worth $500 with a failed transmission.
What could I do? The cheapest option was to replace it. I was nervous to do that because I was told that I could replace it, and the new one could fail again if the transmissions are known to be faulty. They are, but the cheapest option at the time was for me to replace it. The second transmission did last another 110,000 miles, but it is slipping again. It is a shame because this is the best vehicle to travel in and transport kids, etc, but IT IS A MONEY PIT.
