1997 Nissan Quest XE review from North America
"Great van but beware!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering problems rack and pinion changed.
Brakes 3 master cylinder changed.
Brakes still giving problems.
Dealer refused to cover the 3rd master cylinder, but did.
General comments?
This is a great vehicle. Comfortable, I love the seating change overs, ie into table or bed.
But there is dark side, the brakes fail slowly, then after a month you have no brakes at all.
Even now the brakes are spongy.
The steering is the other major issue, I changed a rack and pinion already.
The dealers are at a loss with the brake problem, even Nissan's tech support can't find the problem.
