| Description of the problem | Power steering fluid leak under right (passenger-side) axle-to-wheel area. Also, a front-end alignment problem. I have had to take my 2004 nissan titan le 4x4 crew cab into the dealer service shop on at least 3 occasions to try and get the power steering fluid leak repaired/stopped. The last time it was in the their shop they had my truck for over a month waiting on a new power steering hose part that apparently was in short supply. The leak has now started again and i'm going to have to take the truck in again... Additionally, ever since the truck was brand new, i have asked the shop to fix the alignment 4 times and it's still not right. The steering seems straight until higher speeds (60+ mph) then i have to keep the steering wheel turned a little to the right to keep the truck straight. My truck only has 7600 miles on it so far. I have also had the brakes repaired once already. Based on all of the brake complaints i have read, i'm sure i will have to get them repaired again soon. When should i try to use virginia's lemon law? *ak |
