Steering Rod Relay Connection problem of Nissan Pathfinder
I have a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder. When I drive it on highway at around 50-75 mph, sometimes the car would wobble for no reason. If I move my foot away from the gas pedal, the wobble would stop. It makes me feel very scared. It's been happening for about two years. One of my friends has the same car with same problem. He had it fixed by replacing some bushings at the back. I am going to do the same thing. When I search internet, I found a lot of Pathfinder owners have the same problem. Should this be taken care of by Nissan?.

Steering Rod Relay Connection problem of Toyota T100
The vehicle is a 1998 Toyota T100. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of the car was JT4UN22D7W_. On July 28, 2004, my 1998 Toyota t-100 4x4 suffered a complete lack of steering control as I started down my driveway. The cause was a steering rod relay that broke in two. I have the failed part. It appears to have been either a two-part failure or a flaw in the original casting. One-half of a cross-section through the break is bright gray steel with the rough surface characteristic of fatigue failures, the other half is comparatively smooth and the same rust-color as the outside of the part. My truck has never been used for rock-climbing, nor has it been rammed into a solid obstacle such as a curb or large pothole. The only trauma it has been subject to is low-speed maneuvering in heavy snow and ice. Although the failure did not cause death or damage, if it had occured a few minutes later, I would have been doing 60 mph on the highway. While I don't think Toyota owes me anything on a six-year-old vehicle, I am worried that this flaw might represent a bad batch of steering rod relays. If so, then there are other t-100s out there that could kill their owners. It was Wed., Jul. 28, 2004 when this steering rod relay connection issue occurred.

Steering Rod Relay Connection problem of Volkswagen Passat
The vehicle having this issue was a 2000 Volkswagen Passat. My 2000 vw Passat, with 38,000 miles, has worn tie rods to the point where I have been advised it could be dangerous to drive. This problem was discovered when the car was having an oil change and I mentioned I had been hearing creaking sounds from the front while doing 3 point turns over the past month. My mechanic (not a dealer) thought there had been a recall for the problem. Upon checking, the recall was for 1999 Passats only. Since the 2000 model is the exactly the same as the 1999 model, why was this recall not extended to the 2000 cars? I now have to replace the tie rods at my own expense. Please note the service action issued by vw in November 2004 did not include the tie rods. This steering rod relay connection issue occurred Fri., Jul. 1, 2005.

The vehicle involved is a 2000 Audi A6. Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle is WAUEH24B5Y_. I had been complaining to Audi service about a noise in the steering. This was reported to them in may of 2002. 43,769 miles. I was told no problem found. I brought this to their attention again in June of 2002. 48,743. No problem found. In Jan. 2003 I brought this to their attention again. They had to replace the tie rods. I was told at this point due to the mileage on my car I had to pay for repairs. In doing further research, I discovered the 1999 Audi A6 had a recall for tie rods. I feel this matter of the tie rods for the 2000 A6 Audi should be looked into.

Steering Rod Relay Connection problem of BMW X3
The car involved is a 2004 BMW X3. The vehicle had a crash. The VIN of this vehicle is 1YVGF22C22_. On July 25th, 2005 at 12:30 pm my daughter lost steering control of our 2004 Mini cooper (18,000 total miles of travel), approximately 1. 5 blocks from our house and slightly side swiped a parked car going at very low speed because of a construction zone. Upon inspection, it was apparent that the tie rod of the right front wheel was completely severed. The damage was far below the threshold that would be expected to break a tie rod. When prompted, my daughter recalled bumping the curb when she parked the car and hour or so before the accident. The impact to the curb was at 1-4 mph and consisted of a slight bump and a scrape and was not considered significant by my daughter. The tie rod has now been replaced and is in our possession. The damage tie rod is completed severed and apparently snapped where a threaded area of the rod is inserted in a bolt. All of the breakage and damage to the rod is limited to a 3/4 cm threaded area of this rod where the breakage occurred, there is absolutely no bending or worn areas outside of this portion of the rod. Because this breakage occurred at the weakest position of the tie rod and resulted from a typical parking maneuver, I am very concern that this breakage resulted from either a defective tie rod or is related to a systematic structural-design defect. Of course an alternative is that bumping a curb during careless low speed parking creates a sufficient force to break a tie rod and make this vehicle unsafe to drive thereafter. This late explanation was proposed by the manufacturer. Although my daughter was not injured and the cost of repair was less than $500 dollars, I am submitting this complaint because of the unusual nature and the potential to result in a mortal accident. This steering rod relay connection problem happened on 07/25/05.
