Description of the problem | On november 30, 2010 while driving my son to school my steering wheel locked-up and the rack & pinion leaked all the oil and the truck was totally disabled. Also july 30, 2011(mileage 28830) it happened again while going on vacation with my family to los angeles. While driving on the freeway i heard some vibration on the steering wheel and the steering totally disengaged from the rack & pinion. We were not able to steer the wheel at all that we had to stop and get help. Also december 29, 2012 (mileage 33323) it happened again while pulling the truck out of my garage, this time it leaked all the oil from the rack & pinion and the steering wheel was very stiff to drive. I feel that this problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible because somebody can get badly injured or killed because it's really unsafe to drive this truck. Future nissan where i bought the truck will not help me with this issue & are denying to fix my truck again because they are saying it's the same problem again. I ask that you please help me resolve this matter. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
