(This IS my third complaint regarding the same issue. See earlier complaints (10208146 and 10208146) for additional details.) this IS the seventh (7TH) time the front-passenger-side lap belt retractor (mounted at the bottom of the door post / body frame) has jammed over the last several years or so. for the 6TH repair/replacement (and now the 7TH which IS pending arrival of yet another replacement part) I went to another dealership, busam nissan, 1501 east kemper road cincinnati, oh 45246 (513) 771-8100. the 6TH unit they installed lasted only about 2 weeks before jamming early this year. they then confirmed the failure and the dealerships service manager said they would get with the factory before simply putting in yet another warehouse-stocked "current-design" belt retractor that would likely have the same failure as all the others. after several months I checked in to ask what happened to the ordered part. they said the factory had yet to respond with a better/permanent solution. I said for now I'D rather go ahead and get another warehouse-stocked "current-design" one re-installed than continue to open-ended waiting with no working belt at all. and I'D keep coming back for repairs to get the factory's attention since it costs them each time a dealership gets reimbursed. at present I'm awaiting that warehouse-stocked "current-design" replacement unit to arrive. the service manager at busam nissan tentatively agreed with me that it might be that the lubricants have dried out, but that he could not "experiment" with it, such as gently warming up a unit in an oven to see if it would possibly help any internal lubricants re-distribute and allow the mechanism to properly release. he said that his or my doing so would end any free factory replacement possibilities and fixes. again, I doubt I'm the only one with this problem if this unit IS used in other nissan models as well. *tr

We have a 1995 nissan quest at 75,000 mileages that IS well maintained and runs very smoothly. we dropped off the car to apple nissan in york pa on 11/26 for a preventive maintenance (change of timing belt, water pump, thermostat, all driving belts) of its engine. after we paid $848 and drove it home, I found the coolant in the reservoir was totally empty so I added coolant on the following two days to maintain it at a proper level. on the third day (11/28) when I drove the car to work, its crankshaft broke and the whole engine was destroyed. the total driving distance IS less than 50 miles after the service. the nissan dealer blamed nissan inc. Had designed the crankshaft too small so the shaft IS easy to break and could be broken anytime like a tv and mine was not the only one, while nissan USA said the warranty was expired so it could not do anything about it. none of them would take any responsibility, whether the broken shaft was due to improper service or improper design by nissan. as a result, we became a victim who had to decide either paying additional $4,670+tax for the repair or letting the car ($4500 value before the service) towed to a junk yard. assuming a design fatigue life of a crankshaft IS 150,000 mile, the probability of the event occurs at 75,000 miles within 50 miles driving IS less than 0.1%. without the service, we might still drive the car smoothly. on the nissan USA side, they were aware that the crankshaft was too small so they increased the diameter in 1996 models. why didn't they warn the first owners so that I could have a choice to either trade in the car or let the car naturally die without spending additional money for new tires (3 weeks ago) and the engine service? the other faulty crankshaft cases can be found at http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ee93b52/1938 http://www1.epinions.com/auto-review-ccc-ad8a28c-396533d0-prod2. *tr

(This IS my second complaint lodged on this site regarding the same issue. see my earlier complaint for additional details on the possible causes.) this IS the fifth/5th time the front-passenger-side lap belt retractor (mounted at the bottom of the door post / body frame) has jammed over the last 5-6 years or so. The replaced part IS working for shorter and shorter periods before another failure. could this be due to aging of the stock of replacement parts? see nissan dealers records for exact dates: falhaber nissan, inc. 8680 colerain ave. Cincinnati (grosbeck), oh 45251 (513) 385-1400 (sales, service, body shop). it will not extend more than about 8-12 inches before the ratchet mechanism "catches" and prevents the seat belt from reaching over to the buckle by the center console. on the surface there seems to be nothing unusual about the installation -- the unit IS bolted in, and the belt simply feeds through a slot in the trim plastic. in frustration I discovered I was able to get it to extend a few times more by very rapidly snatching the belt until it would catch, I suppose simulating the deceleration of the vehicle during an accident (and the acceleration of the spring winding mechanism trying to restrain a "body" from flying through the windshield). then after retracting fully the belt would then extend fully for a one-time use, but only to seize up again after retracting. but this worked for only a very brief period (couple of days) then even that would not work. from my own experience I suspect this problem IS more prevalent than the few records on this web site would indicate. I suspect the engineers at the factory are not getting the feedback they need to correct the problem from the dealerships that (i presume) are reimbursed by nissan for repeatedly performing this free-to-the-consumer service. *tr

I bought a 1995 nissan quest van with 30,000 miles on it about 4 years ago(1999-2000). My complaint IS that every winter on very cold days, when we turn the heat on in the mornings you can smell a very bad raw gas smell. after the engine warms up it will usually go away but not always and sometimes when you come to a stop it will start again. I am talking about a very strong gas smell, not just a little bit. it IS enough that sometimes we have to get out of the vehicle it's so bad. Sometimes we roll the windows down, which IS not very comfortable seeing that it usually happens on the coldest days. I have taken it to a local nissan dealership 2 or 3 times and they have fixed all the recalls and bulletins put out by nissan on problems related to this. These never worked. I also took it to another auto repair shop 3 times to have it fixed. Nothing has worked to this point. This IS a little unsettling that the manufacturer of the vehicle cannot even find the problem and I can't keep pouring money into this vehicle and not seeing any results. Nor do I feel comfortable about my family riding around in this vehicle.*ak

I bought this vehicle used, with approximately 106000 miles. The key comes out of the ignition without being in park. I can even take the key out of the ignition while the vehicle IS running or driving down the road. The first time I parked after purchasing the vehicle, I forgot to put it in park and came out of a store and the vehicle had rolled to the middle of the parking lot. Thankfully it hadn't hit another vehicle. When I put it in park, I have to be careful to make sure it IS in gear before I exit the vehicle. Keyless entry doesn't work if the car IS running.
