Anybody else have any issues with their 06 Quest? I had the alternator and one of the catalytic converters go bad within a month of each other. Luckily the extended warranty covered the alternator and the catalytic converter will be covered by the 8 year 80k mile emission warranty. On top of that I am having oil burning issues which they are monitoring. Found out that it lost half a quart in 1000 miles. That works out to 1.5 quarts over 3k miles. Hope they decide to replace the engine once they realize that it is an ongoing issue.

Either way I don't like my Quest. I got a little troublemaker. Bought it in August of 09 with 29k miles. We are at 71k now. Bad spark plug #3, which you have to remove the intake manifold just to get at, bad remote, bad alternator and now the converter. All in 2 years. I have had half of those issues on my 01 Chevy Monte Carlo which we bought new and is 4k miles from 200k miles!
