What owners wrote
The automatic power sliding door would not reopen as the passengers were getting into the vehicle. The door sensor failed to reopen the door. The vehicle had been to the dealer on four occasions and various repairs were made, but the problem recurred. The dealer suggested that there was no adjustment available for the automatic reversing mechanism. The consumer stated that the higher on the door one's arm, hand and shoulder would make contact, the harder it was to reverse the door.
Tamara inflators, sent my van to my local nissan dealer for brake repairmen. I was told since the front subframe at passenger side had severe rust area, my van is not safe to drive. It will cost me more than $4,000 to replace. I checked internet. There are many same problems occurred on 2004 quest. It looks like the defect of materials to me.
