The worst model year for it is 2004.
The control arms on the vehicle malfunctioned and had to be replaced. I typically lost control of steering causing the vehicle to jerk in one direction or the other. This was repaired almost a year ago. I had the vehicle serviced at a independent service center. It could have possible caused an accident had I not been able to counteract the loss of steering. I am currently experiencing this same issue again and was notified in May 2023 that the control arms have once again malfunctioned. There are no warning lights for this issue, I noticed it when the car seemed to need a front end alignment but once I took it to the shop they confirmed that the control arms had malfunctioned. I researched this issue and saw that there was a recall of these exact same parts for 2016 Nissan Quest vehicles used as emergency vehicles. I am concerned that this is some sort of on going issue, that is costing $1600 + on every repair.

NHTSA complaint #10886297 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY NISSAN QUEST HAS A FRONT END SUSPENSION PROBLEM. WHEN I'M DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP ON DRIVERS SIDE IT PULLS MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND RATTLES VERY BAD. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2007 NISSAN QUEST THAT EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MINE. I CALLED AND THEY TOLD ME I DON'T HAVE ANY RECALLS UNDER MY VIN . I GOT IT CHECKED AND THE GUY SAID HE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE RECALL IS FOR A BOLT IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO HOLD IT TO THE FRAME. IT SAYS THAT SOME OF THE VEHICLES SUSPENSION BOLT MY NOT BE TORQUED PROPERLY. SO IF POSSIBLE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY FRONT WHEEL TO FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. THANK YOU!
