Problems with 2004 Nissan Quest ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The speedometer quit working and the odometer does not work right

The spedometer and the lights for it don't work got pulled over and told i had a fake inspection because of them not working can't get an exact reading on my mileage,fuel or if the vans over heating i can't tell how fast or slow i'm going

Takata recall the speedometer goes in and out all the lights in the van is not working and light blink on and off and the overdrive stays on all the time

At various speeds the car will die and lights flash and i have to pull over and try and start the car. it will restart but this happens intermittently and at various times and speeds. they told us this happens on a lot of these models and it is the ecm.

The vehicle main computer is directly under the driver windshield. it rusted out and failed. because it was totally unprotected and subject to rain,snow excessive heat, i had to have it replaced to the cost of $1,000. completely preventable. i demand a refund and a recall notice issued. thank you!

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan quest. the contact stated the sliding door latches failed to function properly for the rear doors on both sides. the contact had to check the doors to ensure that they were secured and when the failure happened, the contact had to manually close the two electric doors with force. the vehicle was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 04v186000 (latches/locks/linkages) and nhtsa action number: pe04027 (structure, latches/locks/linkages) but the contact had experienced the failure concerning the recalls. two dealers had been notified (busam nissan,1501 e kemper rd, cincinnati, oh 45246,(513) 771-8100 and jeff wyler nissan of cincinnati, 8680 colerain ave, cincinnati, oh 45251, (513) 385-1400). the contact was to check with the manufacturer to determine a remedy to repair the vehicle. the contact was uncertain if the manufacturer may provide a solution being excluded from the recall. the failure mileage was not available.

My instrument panel no longer works at all. i can not tell how much gas i have, read my (which affects my ability to get an oil change anywhere) , and my temperature gauge. i have ran out of gas in negative temps with kids in the car. i have attempted to buy a new instrument panel, the cost is over $300. once i finally saved the money i was told by nissan that the part was discontinued! i have researched this issue and discovered i am only one of hundreds with same issue!

Car fire. our minivan was parked, the engine shutoff and the keys were removed from the ignition. the car sat for three hours in very cold weather in a residential neighborhood. based on the videos, it appears the electrical system started sparking and set the engine area on fire. eventually the cab was on fire and the entire minivan was burned and completely lost. it took 7 minutes for the fire department to arrive and an additional 11 minutes for the firemen to extinguish the raging fire. all this was caught on a neighbor's security camera. the video files are over 5 mb so this website will not allow me to upload the video files. i should also mention we drove the van earlier in the day without problems.

The gauges for the current mileage, fuel, temperature are all going in and out. this issue makes it almost impossible to know how much fuel is in the car, so i just keep putting in $15-$20 every couple of days to keep it full (where the amount is able to be seen). i make sure there is antifreeze in the radiator and the reserve bottle as well. keep the oil changed regularly also.

Nissan quest cluster loses ability to moniter fuel and temperature , which caused me to run out of fuel while travelling at a speed of 55mph. after researching online i see there is a repair but how does the dealer not see an issue with this problem. the lcd screen essentially peel away from the screen due to heat or humidity . i see this as a danger and i feel it puts my family along with others in danger .

Alarm beeps when set but does not sound if car is broken into. car was parked. power sliding door does not always shut when power button is pushed. does not always lock and latch as well. door flew open while driving on the freeway. also when closing does not stop if someone is in the way. caught my four yr old daughter's leg and shut on it. tire pressure light constantly comes on even when tires are completely aired up. back rear door does not always open whether button inside van or remote key is pushed. has to forcefully be opened and shut. sometimes will slam shut and it has fallen on my back before. many electrical functions within the dash and console do not always work or register. does not register for oil, coolant, or temp. *tr

2004 nissan quest. consumer writes in regards to ecm corrosion problems. *smd the consumer stated the vehicle stalled and it would not re-start. the dealer informed the consumer the intelligent power distribution module would also need to be replaced in order for the vehicle to run. *jb

Odometer , gas gauge. temperature gauge, stopped working, on the left side of dash making the vehicle not be able to pass inspection. *tr

My battery keeps going dead if the van sits more then a day. i took it to a local mechanic but he could not find the problem. when i picked up my van the left side of the dash does not work. i looked up complaints on the computer and they are the same as mine. the ecm has rusted because of the placement in the van 2004 through 2009 are in the same place. i called nissan but the said they had no idea what i was talking about that i could not believe every thing i read on the internet. this is bad because now i can not get my van inspected because the dash does not work. i need my van to go to work. it cuts off for no reason. i cannot tell how much gas i have. i can tell how many miles i have that was the second thing that went. the first was the radio. they told me at nissan that i had to take it to a nissan mechanic but i can not afford $110.00 an hour. this should be a recall because all 2004 to 2009 van are made this way ...

Drove it to a park about 1:00 p.m. stayed there til about 3:00 pm got home parked in front of house on street. went in back yard for a bbq about 20 to 30 minutes later noticed it started to smoke under hood toward the rear of engine compartment on passenger side about where pass. feet would be or behind glove box. within 5 minutes we had flames and by the time the fire dept got here it was a total loss. *tr
