1 Power Steering Fluid problem of the 2004 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 03/02/2021

Dealer sold a vehicle as a florida 2 owner vehicle. I did another carfax on it after I made the purchase to discover dealer sold it to someone in TN and they titled it. Then they returned it. Dealer sold it to me without having title on hand. Vehicle was shipped and dropped off at my house without me being there to look it over. They never told me when it would be shipped. When my mechanic inspected it he seen many issues. One was there were parts on the trucks steering that did not belong. It had the wrong sway bar links installed. When you attempt to turn steering hits the sway bar and it literally bends the body of the truck. There are many power steering issues. The power steering gear box is leaking as well as power steering lines. Definitely not a safe vehicle to be on the road. This was never disclosed when making the purchase. Check engine light is on. Coolant sensor as well as engine knock sensors. When under the vehicle you can hear loud banging. Mechanic suspects connector rods and/or main bearings meaning motor is on its last leg. Lastly, dealership has not sent title nor any paperwork on it. All I got was a broken down truck leaking fluids left in my driveway.
