 Description of the problemWhile driving with family on a residential road, the power steering failed and steering wheel became extremely stiff. I quickly checked dashboard indicators and everything look okay and engine was still running. I pulled into gas station, popped hood and noticed steering fluid was very low. I buy a bottle at the gas station, put a little in the reservoir and moved around the gas station lot. Steering felt nominally better. I checked the steering fluid and reservoir was low again. I then called a few nissan dealers and found one that could look at it the very next day. I put more fluid in and had a relative follow me to drop it off. This specific vehicle had a recall nhtsa campaign id: 17v184000 in 2017 for the power steering high pressure hose and the vehicle was repaired according to the recall back then. I was concerned that may be a issue. However, the issue here was the power steering return hose had a plastic clip that failed. The failure caused that hose to rub against the drive shaft which caused a hole to be worn through the hose and causing the failure. All of this is stated in the attach repair order from the dealer. This is a huge safety risk and i want to ensure this type of failure doesn't occur to other drivers.
