Seeking Advice on 2017 Nissan Quest Engine Vibration Possibly Due to Vacuum Controlled Engine Mount Issue

Hey everyone, I'm having a bit of a weird issue with my 2017 Nissan Quest, Gasoline model. The engine has started vibrating more than usual. After doing a bit of digging, I think the problem might lie in the vacuum controlled engine mount. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, particularly with this make and model? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially regarding how you managed to get it fixed, what the mechanics said about it, and any tips or advice you might have. Thanks in advance, folks!

Summary of the thread

A 2017 Nissan Quest is experiencing unusual engine vibrations, suspected to be caused by a vacuum-controlled engine mount issue. A similar problem was encountered by another user with a different Nissan model, where a faulty cable or connector on the engine mount was identified and fixed by a mechanic. The suggested solution is to inform the mechanic about the suspected engine mount issue and possibly check the vehicle's alignment to rule out other causes of vibration.

Hey, I've come across a similar problem with my 2015 Nissan Murano, diesel version. I'd reckon I have some experience with cars, nowhere near professional, but enough to keep it running I suppose. If your issue is anything like what I experienced, it certainly does sound like it's the engine mount. Noticed my car vibrating more than usual and felt it could be the mount. Took my ride to a local workshop and they confirmed it was indeed a dodgy cable/connector on the engine mount. The mechanic took care of it, and the total cost to fix came out to be around 165 Euro. Thought it was pretty damn reasonable considering the headache it was causing me. That certainly cleared up the excess vibration problem. Just out of curiosity, could you provide more details about your Quest like mileage and general maintenance history? I would be able to provide more in-depth advice knowing a bit more. Hope this helps!

Hey, thanks for the reply! Yeah, the issue does seem similar to what you had. My Quest has 64687 KM on it and the last service was around 2 months back when I changed the oil and filters and got the brakes serviced. Haven't faced any major issues before this. I guess I'll be visiting the mechanic soon then. Appreciate your advice, cheers!

No worries! Always happy to lend a hand. With 64687 KM, your Quest's still got plenty of road left. These mounts can get a bit finicky, regardless of general maintenance. From your description, it sure seems like the engine mount is the culprit worth hunting down. Since your last service wasn't long ago, I'd tell your shop about the recent vibration issues and mention your suspicion about the engine mount. Could save 'em some time rooting around, and they should be able to confirm if that’s the real offender. Mind you though, every car’s different. My Murano's fix cost 165 Euro, but your Quest's might run a different tab, depends on labor cost and parts in your area. Nevertheless, the peace of mind knowing your ride is running smooth again is priceless indeed. And hey, while you're there, maybe ask your mechanic to check out the alignment too. Sometimes a slight misalignment can also cause vibrations – less likely, but still worth ruling out. Best of luck with it! Keep us posted on how it goes.

Thanks a ton for the insights! Really appreciate it. You're not wrong about the cars being different, but it all gave me a good starting point. I'll definitely clue in the mechanics about the engine mount, and take your advice about checking the alignment as well just to rule out any other possible causes of the vibration. Fingers crossed it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. Will definitely keep you all updated once it's sorted. Cheers!
