| Description of the problem | Twice now since 06/17/2017, my power steering on my 2015 nissan versa note has gone out. The steering wheel became very hard to maneuver and the ps light came on. The first time was only for about an hour. It went out again yesterday, 08/13/2017 as i was pulling into wal-mart. Again, the ps light came on and was very hard to turn the wheel. This time it lasted well into this morning and only kicked back in as i pulled into the nissan dealership in asheville, nc. I drove all the way from whittier, nc without power steering. Living in the mountains of western nc, one can imagine how hard it is to drive without power steering. I thought they had fixed it back in june as that what i was told at the time. But, nope. I was told that since they couldn't recreate it for the investigator with fidelity, the holder of my extended warranty, they couldn't actually fix it (even though it went back out at the nissan dealership. Hope they can actually fix it this time as i do not want to be driving down the highway and have it go out again! |
