Description of the problem	On jan 22, 2015 , i test drove a beautiful 2015 nissan altima, the speed during test drive did not exceed 45mph and the drive was smooth and without incident. I decided to buy the vehicle and trades a nissan 2012 altima with low mileage and no mechanical problems. On the way home , on the florida turnpike i noticed a drifting from left to right with no easy transition back to center lane. The wheel was pulling to the left and then would sort of hang up when i tried to return to center lane. Each time it went left, when i tried to return to center lane it would over compensate and drift to the right. This shifting occurred throughout the ride home which is approximately 12 miles of turnpike at a speed of 70mph. I took the vehicle back right away and 2 more times after that, the last time the steering almost caused an accident at 70mph on the turnpike. I contacted the dealership and they again said vehicle is in tolerance and nothing can be done. I contacted consumer affairs for nissan and they also could not help, since the dealership said the vehicle is in tolerance. Other family members have driven and confirm my fears that the vehicle is not safe.
