My car which was purchased less than a month ago, is back at the dealership for the third time. The car continues to have many issues. There is a shimmy/vibration in the steering column as well as vibration in the door, accelerator and floor boards. It often seems that there are problems with the suspension as well as the brakes. The most important issue is that the car continues to drive off the road to the right and you have to force it out of a right-hand turn. Although this problem also seems to occur to the left as well, it is not as apparent. What is apparent, is when you try to compensate for the drifting, it over-compensates to the other side and it never feels as though the tires are holding the road at all times. It is practically impossible to manage the car on the highway. This issue is a huge safety issue that is not only putting the lives of myself and my family in danger but the lives of the others on the road as well. I have absolutely no confidence that this car can be repaired to any level of safety.
This car was purchased new in exchange for a 2015 Nissan Altima that had serious issues with the power steering components. This car seems one step worse than the one I just traded. Heated steering wheel does not work. Power steering growls when the transmission is put into gear and whines with a high-pitched noise that can be heard very clearly in the cabin when the wheel is turned. Engine is noisy. There is also a shimmy in the steering column when the car exceeds speeds over 40 mph. Appointment made with dealer with a Nissan representative (requested by me). Poor manufacture and design of vehicle. Nissan has innovation that is disappointing, to say the least. If Nissan is unable to repair vehicle properly, I will trade vehicle for a Subaru and never purchase another Nissan again due to poor design and safety issues.
