NHTSA Safety Recalls:
Important: The following recalls were issued for the 1999 NISSAN QUEST SE/GLE/GXE by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA). To find out if a specific 1999 NISSAN QUEST SE/GLE/GXE still has open recalls that require repair, CARFAX recommends contacting an authorized dealership for more information.

Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 1,600
NHTSA campaign number: 99V056002
Defective part or component: INTERIOR SYSTEMS:TRACKS AND ANCHORS:REAR SEAT
Description: Vehicle Description: Mini vans equipped with E-Z entry seats. The affected vehicles may have a second row right hand side captain chair that has inadequate lubrication of the easy entry and exit latch system. In some cases, the actuator spring in the latch could deform after repeated use, causing the latch to remain in the unlatched position. If this occurs, the seat will slide freely on the seat track and the springs on the track will move the seat to the easy entry position toward the front of the vehicle. An unlatched seat track could result in an increased risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash. Dealers will replace the seat track for the second row right hand side captain's chair, which includes the easy entry and exit latch mechanism.
Recall date: 08-18-1999
Units potentially affected: 1,600
NHTSA campaign number: 99V205002
Defective part or component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING
Description: The fuel tank retention strap (two straps per vehicle) can break at the spot welds causing an underbody rattle. There is also a potential for fuel tank separation or fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the fuel tank retention straps.

New Car Test Drive Review

Summary:

All-new, it retains its handling response.
By Martin Padgett Jr., NewCarTestDrive.com

If you're in need of a minivan that can replace your favorite sports sedan, the Nissan Quest deserves a long test drive. As one of the more compact minivans, the Quest has a decided advantage over the big boys when it comes to driving feel. Its short wheelbase and quick steering add up to a driving experience that's more rewarding than the dull-edged responses of long-wheelbase minivans.

Overall, the Nissan Quest should satisfy anyone willing to sacrifice a little interior room for a minivan that's fun to drive.

Overview:

In the six years since the Nissan Quest was unveiled, the state of the art in minivans has evolved to include dual sliding doors, more powerful engines, and slick interchangeable seating. Completely redesigned for 1999, the Quest now offers all of those features. Yet somehow, in an age of ever-increasing waistlines, the Quest has kept its appealingly slim figure.

Far and away, the Quest's best feature is its adjustable seating configurations. By increasing the length nearly five inches, Nissan has made the interior much more usable and flexible - though it's not as roomy as the long-wheelbase Chryslers, the Ford Windstar or the new Honda Odyssey.

Though it's longer now, the maneuverability and car-like response of the Quest makes it one of the most pleasing minivans available from a driver's standpoint. A myriad of features inside keep children happy in the back seats and, when fitted with the optional second-row captain's chairs, it's a comfortable ride for a full load of adults.
