Steering Wheel problems of the 1998 Infiniti QX4

As I passed through an intersection, a vehicle went through a red light. I tried to veer to avoid him, but the steering column failed. As a result of this equipment failure, the car struck my vehicle and my car was totalled. After my car was scrapped, I received the safety recall notice.

Tl-the contact owns a 1998 Infiniti Qx4. The contact was driving 35 mph when the vehicle began drifting from left to right. The contact had to slow the vehicle down in order to stop the drifting. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic where the mechanic stated that the rear spring and shocks needed to be replaced. The contact replaced both rear shocks and springs but the repair did not remedy the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the mechanic and the mechanic advised that the rear bushing also need to be replaced. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the dealer also confirmed that the rear bushings needed to be replaced, as well as the rear trailer arm. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 161,000. Kmj.
