Description of the problem | I own a 2007 nissan sentra, the power steering light (ps) continues to come on and the electric power steering does not work on occasion - it has failed beginning at 1 year of ownership and has continued to fail even this morning - august 12, 2009. Don williamson nissan will not replace the faulty electric motor (pulled by computer code from the car) even though i have documentation of the faulty code at 32,043 miles which was still under warranty. This is a safety hazard - nissan usa will not fix the problem because the car is now out of warranty. I will never buy another nissan and i currently own 3 - they have a dishonest service department and are unwilling to satisfy their warranty. |
