| Description of the problem | On october 20th of 2011 i was driving on the right lane of tonelle ave, north bergen, nj as i decide to pass a bus in front of me i was probably doing 25 mph and peak the speed to 35 mph as i passed the bus, the steering wheel became hard to maneuver almost pulling me against the traffic, thankfully i was able to maneuver and get back in track otherwise i would crash against the traffic, currently i have 88000 miles on my car, as of today the steering wheel still hard to maneuver, and i don't know if nissan would be able to repair this issue at no cost. |
