Steering Wheel Problems of 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.

Took my 2000 Infiniti Qx4 in for an oil change at local Nissan dealer. Service dept told me that the frame was rusted so badly that it was no longer safe to drive. The hole they found was the size of my fist located on the frame directly behind the passenger side front wheel. The vehicle was sold to me 5 months previous from a Ford dealership with a small warranty. The frame issue was not disclosed at time of sale. The vehicle had performance problems such as wobbling and shaking after 55 mph. I had purchased new tires hoping to alleviate problem as the car was sold with unacceptable tread on all four tires.

Component 1 - strut tower rusted in several locations, component 2 - running boards rusted out and were repaired. I understand there maybe be a recall for the strut tower. My current condition will need to be repaired for PA inspection. The last recall I had to do w/the gas tank, NHTSA campaign #07v435000, which I already had replaced before the recall. Just trying to save having something done twice, but it needs to be repaired for safety. I have pictures that can be sent, should you request. Thank you.

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.

I brought my 1999 Infiniti Qx4 to the dealer to determine why the check engine light came on while I was driving. They told me that my strut tower was separated and it needed to go to a body shop. The body shop told me that the problem was that the metal along strut tower welds was rotted, posing a danger of collapse on the steering column. Their check of the passenger side found the same problem, although it's less severe. I have photos and video. They wanted over $6,000 to fix it. Insurance wouldn't cover it so I took it back to Infiniti. They brought it to a body shop they use and fixed the driver's side for $1800. They said the passenger side wasn't a problem to worry about. The dealer is aware of this problem with the Qx4 and suggested I complain to their corporate office. Corporate wouldn't acknowledge the rotting around welds and said there'd be no compensation because it's out of warranty. I saved the parts. I believe Infiniti should pay for the fix of the passenger side and reimburse my $1800. Their mechanics and dealers know this is a problem but corporate will risk customers lives for profit.

While on interstate 10, the Qx4 shakes uncontrollably while driving at higher speeds and the steering wheel does not turn in portion to the rotation of turning the wheel. Changed the struts in the front and the back and shocks without any progress.
