New Car Assessment Program

The 2015NISSANQUEST carries 16 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 1 injury, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall Not Rated/5 rating, with Not Rated/5 front crash, Not Rated/5 side crash, and Not Rated/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2015 QUEST is power train with 3 filings, followed by electrical system (3) and unknown or other (3). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.

NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2015 QUEST, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

The front passenger door actuator stopped working so that you can lock and unlock the door. I saw that there is a lawsuit for other Nissan models of the same year for issues with the same part and figured it might all be the same part and should report it. It has been confirmed by monro auto repair shop.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Quest. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle started overheating and jerking with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle started smoking, and the contact pulled over on the side of the road and added coolant, but the failure continued. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

20220201AIR BAGS

The passenger side curtain airbag spontaneously stopped working. The airbag warning light started flashing on the dashboard, and we took it in to the dealership. They reset the code warning, but the light came on again. They said they needed to replace the airbag after trying to replace the sensor and having the same issue. The van has not been in any accidents or had any side impacts and has about 72,000 miles on it. Nissan refuses to cover any part of the $3,000 repair cost since the manufacturer warranty expires at 60,000 miles. The dealership advised us that since there's an issue with one airbag, it's possible that no airbags would deploy in the event of a crash. So the airbag or airbag system is faulty and possibly has been all along, but we just now got the warning light. Obviously driving a car without working airbags is incredibly unsafe, and Nissan doesn't seem to think they should have to stand behind their products or consumers to fix the issue and ensure their safety.

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.

I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED WHETHER THE GEAR WAS IN FACT IN THE DRIVE MODE, AND BOTH THE DASHBOARD AND GEAR BOX SYMBOLS CONFIRMED. I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BREAKS, BUT THE BREAKS SEEMED TO ALREADY BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND LOCKED IN THAT POSITION. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER BRAKING CAPABILITIES. AFTER SEEING THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER ITS ROLLING MOTION, I QUICKLY DEPRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF. I WAS PROMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK MODE. I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHILE TRYING TO RESTART IT, THE VEHICLE'S BREAK WAS STILL COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, ALTHOUGH I TRIED TO DEPRESS IT FURTHER WITH MY FOOT AND SNAP IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION.
