There are 3 owner-reported powertrain & transmission complaints for the 2015 Nissan Questin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Transmission shudder at 1000-1500 rpm.
OUR 2015 NISSAN QUEST WITH 47500 MILES ON IT STARTED MAKING A BAD NOISE ON SUNDAY 3/26/18, AND HESITATING AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 KIDS BACK FROM A SHORT TRIP. IT WAS A HORRIBLE SENSATION TO NOT KNOW IF I COULD MAKE IT HOME SAFE WITH MY KIDS. TOOK IT TO NISSSN TO CHECK IT OUT ON MONDAY 3/27/18. I GOT A CALL TODAY TO TELL ME THAT THE RADIATIOR GAR A LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT. I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AND RADIATOR. TOTAL REPAIR COST ALMOST $6000. THEY SUBMITTED A CLAIM UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH WAS TURNED DOWN BY NISSAN BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAIL ON IT\\\\\\\'S OWN. BUT, PROVOKED BY THE LEAK BY RADIATOR, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN AUG. 17. AND, CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS GETTING AWAY WITH NOT FIXING THIS KNOWN ISSUE ON THEIR FAULTY RADIATORS ON MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. I CANNOT AFFORD THE 6K TO FIX IT. SO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO.
WHEN VEHICLE IS WARMED UP, WHILE EXCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALLED AND WARRANTY EXTENDED ON ALL NISSAN VEHICLES EMCEPT THE QUEST. THE DEALERSHIP IN TERRE HAUTE SAYS IT NEEDS REPLACED AT A VALUE OF $4300. I WOULD LIKE SIGNIFICANT HELP WITH THIS.
