Description of the problem	I'm writing to request that nhtsa investigate a steering column issue on my 2006 nissan pathfinder se to see if the issue falls under the steering column & passenger air bag fastener campaign #10v-115. The vehicle was bought new in 2006. The steering issue was first reported on 9/14/06 to a nissan technician. I noticed when stopping the vehicle a squeaking noise coming from the steering column. The technician was not able to diagnose the problem. On 6/03/09, the vehicle was taken to another nissan dealership technician for additional work and again the technician was asked to diagnose the problem. The vehicle was serviced on 8/2/13, at a different nissan dealership and again the technician was not able to determine the squeaking noise or why the steering column was loose. Please understand that all three services mentioned above were completed at nissan dealerships and the services were within the warranty on the vehicle. In late summer 2014, i noticed the steering column being very loose. On 09/11/14, i alerted a nissan service department again of the problem. At this time, the vehicle was 3,000 miles outside the extended warranty. The steering column issue continued and on 11/7/14, i took the vehicle to a local nissan dealership for more steering column testing. The technician concluded that the vehicle? S power steering rack is breaking apart. I sought a second opinion and the service technician concluded that the steering column assembly is failing. After eight years of inquiry the issue is now diagnosed. Steering column - it is too loose and when turning to the far right or left it makes a clacking noise. If nhtsa, determines that my vehicle? S issues fall under the steering column & passenger air bag fastener campaign #10v-115, then i would like for a local dealer to repair the vehicle at no charge to me. Please formally investigate this issue.
