| Description of the problem | 2006 pathfinder steering column issue. Steering goes from wobbly to tight but mostly wobbles. Problem worsening over the course of a few weeks. Gets really hard to steer when it is cold and gets very wobbly when it is warm. Nissan dealer say that at some point i will turn and the wheel will not return to center, but they say it isn't a safety issue. I guess we will have to wait for someone turning to crash into a bus stop or something for them to fix the problem. Well i came close yesterday. I was turn right and after the turn the truck kept turning right. I hit the curb and went up onto the sidewalk. I am just thankful there was no one walking at that spot. I was so scared i turned off the truck and just stood outside for a while. |
