I have a 2004 quest se. The odometer is unreadable as if the led lights are burnt out and the backup sensors are not working. I can not reset the back up sensor when I restart the vehicle. Also, the gas gauge and temperature gauge is missing led lights. My question is .... is there a way to get a true reading on the odometer so that the repairs will be covered under warranty??

They can plug the machine in at the dealer and tell how many miles are on it, Odometers arent analog anymore, everything is stored in the computer.

Same thing with the 05 Quest. I can only see my miles maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks when it feel like coming on. I check my gas gauge with the trip button.

Incorrect. The mileage is kept within the odometer cluster, it is NOT stored in the ECM (that way in case of any failure of any electrical component the mileage cannot be compromised). There is no way to recover this information without the cluster. Our dealership has been through this before with a Quest and we had to pull Carfax and oil change history to get a mileage to determine if the warranty was still applicable.
