Powering steering box failure on a 2004 Nissan Frontier. My vehicle has only 49,000 miles on it and was purchased new. Two mechanics, one Nissan and one an independent mechanic, identified the steering box as the culprit for the difficult steering in the vehicle. Both said it should not fail. The Nissan mechanic went on to say that he had only seen one fail in his ten years as a mechanic, and that involved a vehicle that was in a severe accident. The failure prevents me from steering and at times takes two hands to steer. The mechanics state that the only repair is to replace the part. Nissan refuses to assist in the costs of those repairs.

My vehicle a 2006 Nissan Frontier p/u with nismo off road package has experienced a steering problem while driving. The steering wheel felt like the power steering pump had failed and shortly after the steering wheel became really loose side to side and up and down. I took the truck to the nearest Nissan dealer and was told that the nut that holds the steering wheel in place was loose and it would be no problem to fix. After 2 days I got a call from the asst. Service manager stating that the steering rack and steering column had to be replaced and the extended waranty would not cover the repairs. I then called Nissan of north America to see if they could assist in any way and was informed by the south east representative that there was nothing they would do because of the mileage on the vehicle. From what I have seen on numerous web sites this is a re occurring problem that should be addressed for the safety of the owners of this model vehicle.
