Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2006 nissan frontier from carriage nissan (770) 532-6335 in march 2006. At mile 3100, while driving on the highway the steering column in the truck broke. It almost caused me to lose control of the vehicle. Fortunately, i was able to regain control. When i contacted the dealer they told me the were aware of this problem and had- had several new frontiers with the same problem. They said i needed to have it towed, as it was dangerous to drive . The service manager told me that for the 2006 model nissan had gone with a different vendor for the steering assembly, and that they already had to fix several of them at that dealership alone. Carriage nissan did fix the problem, but i sincerely believe that nissan usa is trying to cover this up. When you call them they act as though there is know problem, even though the dealer manager told me there was a serious problem. That problem being a "low bidder" inferior part. I have sent several emails to nissan usa expressing my concerns, and have gotten no reply. I really believe that someone with this same vehicle could get badly injured or worse if nissan doesn't issue a recall. The dealer told us a recall should be coming soon, but that was 3 months ago. Furthermore, the dealer manager told us that our replaced part would probably go out again, because it is the same low bidder part. They cannot get a good part until there is a recall issued. Other people in the country are having the same problems with their frontiers and nissan. See this forum: look under technical problems http://www. Nissanfrontier. Org/default. Asp. *nm

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
