2012 Nissan Quest Owner Complaints

Powertrain complaints dominate what owners report for the 2012 Nissan Quest, with the CVT transmission drawing the most attention by a wide margin. Owners frequently describe the transmission hesitating or refusing to engage when pulling away from a stop, requiring the accelerator to be pressed to the floor before the van moves, then lurching forward when it finally does. Some describe the van dropping speed unexpectedly while already moving, as if it's losing power mid-drive regardless of throttle input. The fuel and propulsion system rounds out the next tier of complaints, where owners report rough idling, stalling during acceleration, and the engine struggling to exceed low speeds. A smaller cluster of structure-related complaints also appears. The transmission hesitation pattern, particularly the delayed or jerky response from a standing stop, is the most consistently repeated symptom across this model year's complaint set.
