Description of the problem	First -my steering was getting hard - i asked a tech at nissan what possibly could be the problem. They suggested change the steering fluid first. I did and then i learned there was a recall - i would like a reimbursement of $96. 25 for the steering power fluid flush that i did not need. I was never notified and found out by calling nissan because the problem was still happening. I took the suv into nissan service to do the recall repair - it was done however, i still had a hard steering problem. They looked at it again and they now said i needed a gear box which i recorded earilier with you in a previous complaint . If i do in fact need a gear box i feel that it got defective due to the recall - this is over a $2,000 repair. A very short time after my car left the service department (after they said i may need a gear box) i almost had a very bad car accident - my front tires and steering wheel began to shake and the wheel felt like it was coming off - i towed the suv to nissan service and i am now told that the tie rod assembly needs to be replaced at a cost of over $700. 00. Why did they not see the problem the week before? I want to be reimbursed for $96. 25 steering power flush, towing charge of $120. 00 and the tie rod assembly replacement approx. $800. 00 and i want this investigated. Do i really need a gear box? I could have gotten into a very bad accident if that wheel to fly off. Please look into this problem. Thank you - nissan xterra 2004 your department and nissan needs to look into this problem - i could have died. Does it have anything to do with the 4 wheel drive?
