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.

Tires were completely bald at 26000 miles. This is not a service you should have to fix with this low of mileage. I bought brand new Yokohama tires thinking if I paid for better tires they would last longer. Now my front tires are bald on the outside wall at 26000 miles again. The tires have been rotated every 5000 miles. There is definitely a problem with the vehicle and not the tires. All work has been done with the dealership and they can not tell me why the tires are wearing so quickly.

Quest S 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,464 miles

Today 2/17/2014 I went back to the dealer to complaint again about the very bad shape of my tires. The car has only 14,640 miles and being a brand new car I'm the first owner of this car. This car is used by my wife for her daily activities like grocery shopping, take my son to the school, is using it very softly.
