I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RIGHT WHEEL CYLINDER IN MY 95 NISSAN QUEST FOR THE 2ND TIME IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST TIME I FIXED IT THAT IT WOULD BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I WOULD EVER HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN, WELL NOW IT IS LESS THAN 3 YRS LATER AND I AM HAVING TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS. *JB

THE CRANKSHAFT BROKE OFF DUE TO A STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE SHAFT. I SPENT THE NEXT 22 DAYS TRYING TO GET NISSAN TO REPLACE THE CRANK AND REPAIR THE 1995 QUEST VAN. NISSAN BEGAN INSTALLING LARGER CRANKSHAFTS IN THEIR 1996 MODELS BUT THEY NEVER OFFERED TO HELP WITH THE REPAIRS. I HAVE A SMALL CLAIMS COURT HEARING OCT 11 AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW OF ALL THE SIMILAR CASES THAT HAVE BEEN FILED TO DATE. AFTER 22 DAYS I HAD THE VAN REPAIRED AT MY MECHANICS SHOP AT THE COST OF $3371.00 I STILL HAVE THE CRANK. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY IT CAME OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS STILL IN PARK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE SLIPPED TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE SERVICE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. BUT THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD CHECK INTO THE MATTER.*AK
