2010 Nissan Recall May Include Your
Nissan Quest


Nissan announced a recall today (2010), one which
would affect more than a half million
minivans, trucks and SUVs. The Nissan
recall is due to potentially faulty braking
pins and fuel gauges in several models,
including the immensely popular Nissan
Quest Minivan. According to the Wall Street
Journal, of the 539,864 vehicles affected,
418,865 of those are in the United States.
The fuel gauge recall is not related to the
braking pin part of the recall as they are
separate issues. Affected fuel gauges may
show fuel when the tank is actually empty.
Which models and years are affected by
the 2010 Nissan recall for braking pins?
Models under recall for a potential braking
pin problem include 2008 through 2010
Nissan Titans, Armadas, Quests and Infiniti
QX56. According to CNN, there are
approximately 179,000 in the United States.
Owners encouraged to take their vehicle to a
Nissan dealership for a visual inspection to
determine whether or not their automobile is
affected. Consumers will not be charged for
this service call.
Which models and years are affected by
Nissan's recall for fuel gauge issues?
Faulty fuel gauges comprise the lion's share
of the number of recalled vehicles,
amounting to approximately 419,000
vehicles. Models affected by the fuel gauge
recall are the 2005 through 2008 Nissan
Titan, Armada and Infiniti QX56. Also
affected are Nissan Frontiers, Pathfinders
and Xterras produced between January and
March 2006 and between October 2007 and
January 2008. Owners may not know what
month their vehicle was made and should
defer to their dealership, who can look up
their VIN number and determine whether or
not their automobile is part of the recall.
Because of a potentially faulty fuel gauge,
affected model owner may think they have
more gas than is actually in their tank, a
condition that can be dangerous, especially
in cold weather. Because of this issue,
Nissan owners of these affected cars, trucks
and SUVs to keep their tank half full until
their car can be seen by a Nissan mechanic
to correct the issue, if it exists in their
vehicle.
Nissan owners may want to wait to call
their dealership
Upon hearing news of the Nissan recall, I
contacted the Nissan dealership where I have
my 2008 Nissan Quest serviced. The service
department was not aware of the Nissan
recall, and thus advised me that I would need
to call back at a later date to see if my Quest
was affected.
Another disappointment: a search of recalls
on my 2008 Quest at recalls.gov did not
return this new Nissan recall as a result.
What can owners of affected Nissans do?
If you purchased your Nissan second hand,
Nissan may not have your mailing
information to notify you of a recall on your
vehicle. If that is the case, contact Nissan at
(800) NISSAN-1 with your VIN number
handy. They will add you into their database
and you will receive future recall and service
notices to your home address. If you have
moved since purchasing your Nissan
vehicle, be sure to provide them with your
current address. I have had to contact Nissan
in the past when I purchased a past Quest to
have ownership information changed.
Does the braking pin recall erode my
confidence in Nissan?
With so many recalls in the past weeks from
major car makers Toyota and GM, I
honestly sighed in relief that neither of our
Nissan vehicles were recalled. That is, until
today.
We recently purchased a 2010 Nissan Versa,
mainly because of the faith that we had in
the brand. Having survived a crash in our
2005 Quest a few months ago, we firmly
believe our lack of serious injury was due to
its five-star crash rating. Our faith in Nissan
and its safety led us to replace our totaled
vehicle with another, newer Quest.
For now, I feel safe driving my 2008 Nissan
Quest, but I do plan to actively pursue
having any affected recalls fixed as quickly
as possible.
In one respect, I am disappointed. While I
realize that the media does the public a
service by broadcasting recalls, information
should be transmitted to dealerships either
prior to or at the same time information is
released to media outlets. Consumers such as
myself are bound to flood dealerships with
calls and it is poor business practice to have
employees tell worried customers they are
unaware of the recall.

D1 and D2 are the Gear same as Gear 1 or Gear 2 If you're driving around town put it in D and
forget it. If you want to lock in a specific top
gear choose that gear (like if you put it in 2 it
will start rolling in first, then shift to 2 but no
higher). Personally I find the best straghtline
performance is to put it in either D or 3 and let
the tranny shift for you at redline...its less
interesting than shifting yourself but I find the
shift itself is far quicker than doing it
myself...there is always a delay between 1-2 or
2-3 when shifted manually...more so than letting
the computer do it.
