Why does my Quest’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your Quest firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Are Nissan Quest engine noises bad?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Nissan Quest engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Nissan Quest engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Is it okay to put water in my Nissan Quest radiator?

Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What could cause my Quest engine to suddenly stop?

Your Quest car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
