The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
|
|
Description:
|
On certain mini vans equipped with a power sliding door(s), at an ambient temperature below approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the actuator for the power sliding door(s) may experience binding due to an out of specification condition. In order to open, close or reverse a power sliding door, the shift selector lever must be in ""park."" if the actuator is experiencing binding and the driver shifts the vehicle out of park while a power sliding door is still closing, the door latches may not engage. This can result in the door coming open unexpectedly upon rapid acceleration, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant. Dealers will replace the actuator for the power sliding door(s). Owner notification is expected to begin during May 2004. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
|
|
Description:
|
On certain minivans, there is a seat adjustment mechanism that contains exposed moving components located at the rear inside edge of the second row seat. When the operator attempts seat adjustment, a finger may be pinched in the moving seat adjustment mechanism which could cause an injury. On earlier model vehicles built through June 28, 2004, dealers will replace the inboard second row seat adjustment handle, rivet a plastic reinforcement to backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange to the inboard side shield. On vehicles produced from June 29, 2004 through September 26, 2005, dealers will rivet a plastic reinforcement to the backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange on the inboard side shield. The recall is expected to begin on December 15, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
|
|
Description:
|
On certain minivans equipped with a folding third row rear seat, when the third row seat is raised from its stowed position, it engages striker brackets, one on each side of the seat cushion. The fold-away striker loop is welded to a mounting bracket. The striker may become detached from its mounting bracket due to a broken weld at the point of attachment to the bracket. If the third row seat striker weld fails, the striker could separate from the mounting bracket. Striker separation could affect the risk of injury in certain types of crashes. Dealers will replace the third row seat striker brackets. The recall is expected to begin on December 15, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Summary:

Rethinking the minivan.
By John Rettie, NewCarTestDrive.com
Can the Quest actually fulfill Nissan's quest to re-invent the minivan market? If you like the looks of this minivan and appreciate the versatility and design features of the interior take a long look at the 2004 Quest before opting for an SUV. If you enjoy driving you'll draw pleasure from owning this minivan as it delivers performance and handling to match its snazzy looks. The Quest is a Maxima in minivan clothing.In fact, sitting in the very back seats with the middle seats folded down there's tons of leg room and with a DVD entertainment system and leather seats it's much more comfy than being stuffed into the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car. In this set up the Quest could easily be described as the limousine of minivans. |
|
Overview:
|
Sexy is not a word normally associated with minivans. Whether that word can be used to describe the new Nissan Quest is open to discussion, but Nissan has certainly given it a good shot with the 2004 model. Fans like to point out that minivans are much more comfortable and far more practical than SUVs. But minivans have suffered from the "soccer mom" image, an image many, including soccer moms, prefer to avoid. Despite this they are still a popular category and several recently introduced models on the market are causing naysayers to rethink their views on minivans. Of all the new minivans, the Nissan Quest is arguably the most radical and therefore the one that deserves a serious look for those who want a vehicle they can be proud to own and enjoy for its various attributes. It's now the largest minivan on the market, it has the most versatility and it's one of the most fun ones to drive. We found the new Quest enjoyable to drive. It's fitted with a powerful V6 engine, taken from the 350Z sports car, and is available with a smooth five-speed automatic that would be perfectly at home in an expensive luxury car. Quest has crisp steering and feels more stable in corners than an SUV. Its radical styling carries through inside with jetliner seats, Skyview roof panels and a centrally located instrument panel. It also comes with the latest curtain-style airbags and active safety features.
