I had recently had some work done on my car to replace the right bearing wheel and the power steering line, as there was a leak and loud roaring noise when driving on the highway as confirmed by the mechanic. About a week later, I was driving on the highway (at about 65 mph) when all of a sudden I felt a jerking in the car, suddenly the engine light turned on, and the the temperature gauge shot all the way up. I pulled to side of the road as soon as I could because I saw white smoke coming from under the hood. I had bought this car about 2 years ago from my uncle and I had taken the car to the dealer for the takata recall. They never mentioned anything else. Then about a month before this all happen my uncle sent me a letter (as he had moved away, regarding another recall on the I35. I was planning on taking the car to the Infiniti dealer for the recall after replacing the power steering line and front right wheel bearing. However I did not even get a chance to do so. I would really like to know if my situation has anything to do with a recall.
