Problem overview

Some Nissan Quest owners report experiencing intermittent brake and battery light flickering along with poor acceleration in cold weather. These symptoms may indicate a dead battery, which can cause dim lights and flickering dashboard indicators. Additionally, a faulty alternator can lead to the battery light illuminating and may also trigger the brake light. Electrical issues, such as corrosion on battery terminals or bad ground connections, can further exacerbate these problems. Internal degradation of the battery due to age is another potential cause. Owners are advised to check the battery and alternator functionality, inspect electrical connections for corrosion, and seek professional inspection if issues persist to ensure their vehicle's safety and performance, particularly in cold weather conditions.
