| Description of the problem | I was highway driving for 40 miles when my nissan rogue started to get loose and make an odd noise when i applied the brakes. The rode was damp in places, but not enough to engage the anti lock brakes. Traveling on, it would occasionally repeat the noise and wobble. 60 miles into the trip, i was traveling 55 mph and not applying the brakes when the steering got extremely wobbly and i had little control over the car. It was very difficult to even pull over. Once i got it stopped, i called for a tow truck and had to pull up to read a road sign and the steering was still wobbly just pulling forward. It was towed to the nearby nissan dealer who worked on it for over 3 hours and they could not duplicate the problem. I asked if there were any recalls or problems with this model and was told, "no." |
