| Description of the problem | The car steering wheel pump makes a whining noise which can be heard loud and clear. The noise is so irritating that it can out anyone have a vertigo. Yet two nissan dealerships say this is normal, and refuse to accept it. Some altimas have the noise asnd some do not. I strongly believe that nissan (the company) and nissan dealerships are colluding and don't want to make this expensive recall. This will may lead to drivers having accidents due to the highly annoying noise |
