| Description of the problem | 2009 nissan altima coupe, se. While making turns (without stopping), the car stalls in the middle of the turn and the steering locks up. The most recent time was october 14, 2013, and while making a right hand turn from a busy street and onto a busy street, the vehicle stalled which almost caused an accident due to another car making a left hand turn. Nissan has a current recall on several models regarding this happening due to a faulty accelerator sensor, however this vehicle (make, model, year) are not in the recall, and i suspect it should be. Could be a very dangerous situation. This has happened to me at least 10 times. |
