The passenger tie rod became disconnected at the point where the inner and outer were bolted together. Because I was stranded on the side of the road at 2:00 am Saturday morning I needed to have the vehicle towed to a repair shop. The owner was surprised that I was needing replacement on a 2014. After inspecting the vehicle he found that the bolt was not secured and bolted all the way down. Both sides need replacement although I can only afford to fix one side now. He did explain it was a safety hazard and needed to be replaced ASAP. He believed it came this way from the manufacturer, because tie rods last much longer than 3-4 years. I was driving on a city street making a left hand u turn at about 5 milled an hour when my car came to a stop. Thought my transmission went out. Got out at looked at my front tire that was turned to the left and could see the tie rod separated.

Notified by dealer that right inner tie rod was failing - slight play - at the time of a PA state inspection with only 31,869. No external damage noted. Recommended replacement.

I have a 2005 Nissan Altima that I bought in 2008 and has had nothing but problems, first had to replace the steering knuckle because the steering was going out ($400) than had to replace the motor mounts, struts, inner/outer tie rods, I have no heat when at idle, while putting new tires on again, I also learned my floor boards are almost rusted through, and now I can not even drive my car because about 3 weeks ago it started sucking down oil ( 4 qts within a 3-6 hour time frame) and it's smoking bad out the tail pipe because of the head gasket/piston rings caused by a faulty pre-cat, and told I need to replace the engine. I see there is a recall for the 2. 5l engine for this issue but on a 2006 model, what about my 2005 model with same engine?? searching the internet I find hundreds if not thousands of people having this same issues in 2002-2006 Altima's, obviously there is a problem with these engines and Nissan should be held accountable!!.

While attempting to give my vehicle gas after stopping at a red light, I heard a hissing sound coming from the front passenger tire. When the light turned green and I began to give the vehicle gas, the steering wheel was incredibly hard to turn. I tried to turn the steering wheel to the left and as a result, I lost control of the vehicle. The steering column felt as though it did not have power steering at the time. When my vehicle came to rest, I was facing oncoming traffic in the middle of the median and had additionally taken out several roads signs. The vehicle was towed away and inspected by a mechanic for the cause of the accident. The mechanic discovered the right tie rod had broken. As a result of this failure, the radiator was busted, headlight busted and many other costly expenses. At present time, my vehicle remains in the body shop awaiting repairs. This has ended up a very costly defect in my vehicle and I am in the process of contacting the manufacturer for some reimbursement! this accident is still under investigation by the police.
