Model years to avoid

Nissan Quest

What it says about you

Opinion

A minivan that tried styling and paid for it commercially. You liked it, which was rarer than it should have been.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

12 model years on record, 682 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2012 (cvt), 2007 (gauge). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.

  • fuel 2007, 2011 peak 45.5% of that year's complaints
  • tank 2007, 2011 peak 40.9% of that year's complaints
