2006 NISSAN QUEST — Complaint #663336
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC filed March 27, 2008
NHTSA complaint #663336 (ODI reference 10222525) concerns a 2006 NISSAN QUEST and was filed on March 27, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 20, 2008. The vehicle had 24,199 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Indiana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN QUEST cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 NISSAN QUEST shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
THESE COMMENTS ARE TO BE ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT - 10222492. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER ON TWO DIFFERENT TIMES; ONCE AT 8,000 MILES AND ANOTHER TIME AT 15,000 MILES. WHEN I HAD MY BRAKES REPLACED AT 24,000 MILES THEY SAID I WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING IT IN AT 10,000 MILES TO CHECK SOME "PINS" ON ALL FOUR WHEELS, THAT CONTROL THE BRAKE PADS. WHEN THEY REVIEWED THE WORK SHEETS FOR THOSE TWO TIMES, THEY WAS NO MENTION OF CHECKING THE BRAKE "PINS". A ITEM AS SERIOUS AS BRAKES SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED AND SHOWN ON THE SCREEN, AS ARE THE OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATION. "CHECK THE BRAKE PINS" IS NOT EVEN SHOWN ON THIS SCREEN. THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS SYSTEM OF A CAR. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A SCREEN WARNING THAT TELLS YOU TO HAVE THESE "PINS" CHECKED. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THEIR BRAKING SYSTEMS AND THE ONUS IS PLACED ON THE CUSTOMER TO READ THE FINE PRINT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TO SEE ALL THESE DETAILS. WHEN IN FACT, IT COULD BE DIS
