Nissan Quest reliability -- better info -- please sign up

[mkaresh]

I wanted more up-to-date auto reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started conducting reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

Thanks to the help of NICOClub, for which I am very grateful, TrueDelta has been providing results for most Nissan and Infiniti models. For the Quest, though, we still need more participants to include it in the survey.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results for free.

The 2004 is now just four owners short of the minimum, and three other years are now about halfway.

Just thought I should mention my mom has a 95 Quest with 287k on the clock.Half of that is interstate travel, and it's towed boats multiple times during the summer for the last 10 years.

Original Engine and transmission. Still runs good, transmission shifts smooth.Not bad...van hasn't had an easy life.

The 2004 is now in the survey, but more participants will be needed for a full result. Other years getting closer.

We have an initial reliability stat for the 2004 Quest based on owner experiences through March 31, 2010.

With 133 repair trips per 100 cars per year, the 2004 Quest is worse than average. The sample size is small.

A big thank you, once again, to AZhitman, this forum, and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.
