What owners wrote

The 2005 nissan quest se has severe problems with motor mounts and their faulty design which resulted in a vehicle crash. My wife went to the dollar store,this being about two months after all the motor mounts were replaced, she got in and started to back out as she pressed the accelerator the engine revved up to 3000 RPM and then jammed the transmission into gear causing it to jerk the wheel violently and bark the tires the engine is so quiet you cannot hear if this is happening it propelled the vehicle right…
