Description of the problem | While driving the vehicle, a bolt in the steering column broke and the wheel was no longer connected to the wheels, making a turn the wheel became impossible as the wheel spun completely around multiple times. This is the second time we've had a problem with the steering column, the first time the entire column was replaced. We have owned this car for only 8 months and it was new when we purchased it. We are currently waiting to hear from nissan about our request for an exchange or refund, and we feel this vehicle is no longer safe to operate. |
