2002 Nissan Quest GXE from North America - Comments

"This is a piece of junk-stay away from it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Interior panels are creaking.

Seats rattle.

Sliding doors rattle.

Seats are wearing badly.

General comments?

This is the worst investment I've ever made.

This is my first non-American car and it will be the last Nissan I will ever buy.

My $12,000 Dodge Neon was as quiet and more solidly built than this $25,000 Nightmare.

It's like throwing money away. I've only had it 2 days and it feels like everything inside is going to fall apart.

Well, the old nissan qwest wasnt really made by Nissan and it really isn't the first non-domestic car you have bought because this was made by ford. The Nissan qwest and the fordwindstar (or maybe it was the aerostar) where the same van just made a little different with the different labels. So, you actually bought a Ford. That would explain the poor quality. I really wish Japanese automakers would stop making cars in cooperation with domestic companies (Mazda-ford, mitsubishi-dodge, etc). Nissan is actually a very good company that is very reliable. The new qwest totally different and is made souly by Nissan.

Ford Aerostar, Windstar and And Nissan Quest Are all totally different vehicles..

Ford Aerostar is a Truck built Minivan with a Rear or All-Wheel-Drive configurations. Ford Windstar and the Quest/Villager Are also 2 totally different vehicles..

The Nissan Quest, Mercury Villager, and Ford Windstar are sisters. But the quest and Villager are twins. The Quest/Villager both have a ford engine along with other parts. Because the Quest is more Ford than anything else, it is a poorly built van. Mine is a 1996, and it was the worst investment I ever made. Do your research.

Uh, Mercury is made by Ford. So how can the Japanese be blamed by this one?

The Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest were designed jointly by Ford an Nissan and based off a Nissan Maxima. Both the 3.0L and 3.3L engines put in the vans are Nissan engines, there was never a Ford engine in either.

And the Windstar is in no way related to the Villager/Quest. It is based off the Taurus and uses Ford engines.
