Overview

2015 Nissan Quest

The 2015 Nissan Quest offers a practical family hauling solution with a capable 3.5L V6 engine and front-wheel drive. Its fuel economy is respectable for its class, achieving 22 MPG combined. While the absence of recalls and consumer complaints is unusual, the significant number of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) indicates potential underlying issues that buyers should be aware of. These bulletins often address drivability concerns or minor component performance anomalies that, while not safety-critical, can impact owner satisfaction and long-term ownership costs.

Critical Failure Risk

While specific complaints are absent, the 'Automatic (variable gear ratios)' transmission, often a CVT, can be a source of concern if not properly maintained. Issues can range from hesitation to complete failure.

Early detection can help you avoid a $2,500-$5,000 repair.
