Consumer Reports listed the Nissan Quest as one of the least reliable 2004 models.   www.consumerreports.org , Our office represents New Jersey and New York consumers who purchased or leased defective Nissan Quests. 

Nissan brake problems include warped rotors, repeated repairs, and brake reliability issues. One newsgroup participant said, "We are having the same brake problems also-New rotors,pads,etc installed.  We are at only 3000 miles after it was to be rectified and it is pulsating again, and the brakes are squeeling when applied like there was nothing put on back of the pads to stop that annoying noise. My neighbors kid can make his 12 yr old car sound the same as my new Armada when using the brakes." http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef32f0a/0  Another said, "Good luck if you are having brake problems. I've got about 15K on mine. I had the rotors turned at 3K, totally replaced at 6k, turned again at 9k, totally replaced at 12K and guess what it is starting to pulsate again."
