| Description of the problem | The steering wheel is very loose and the car is hard to keep straight. It is all over the road. If you get in a groove in the road it will about take the car and cause you to lose control. I thought i had a problem somewhere else but had everything checked and it is the steering. When others ride with me they ask if i'm ok because of the car going side to side. I avoid the highway because with speed increase it's even harder to keep in my lane. I noticed the problem right after getting the car. Tried to ignore thinking it was me, that i was not use to the way a nissan handled as i have never owned one before. Something has to be done. This is very dangerous. I have read at least 16 complaints from other nissan owner's while on the internet to see what the problem could be. |
