1995 Nissan Quest GXE review from North America
"Need a mini-van, but don't have the money for the Honda? Buy this one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out at 179,000. Bought a dyno-tested tranny from Phoenix Hard Parts. After overcharging me for shipping and refusing to return my core charge they still refuse to fix the problem. $600 of additional work later, it still doesn't always shift out of first. Phoenix Hard Parts turned one of the best cars I have ever owned into a tragedy.
General comments?
The Quest was great for 175,000 miles. One of the exhaust studs sheared around 80,000. The engine mounts went at about 150,000. The radio was the only sub-par component. It died just after the warranty ran out. The replacement unit has better sound and the children cannot control it from the back unless an adult hands them the remote.
