My son was driving my car to work and this is his account of the incident on 1/17/2026 on i95 n, the steering wheel abruptly stopped controlling the wheels. It was as if it completely disconnected and he lost control and crashed into the median. It was a terrifying incident for my son. No other cars were involved. This accident has been reported to my insurance company. This car has been a smooth ride since I've had it. It has under 70,000 miles even though it's a 2017 Nissan Maxima. There were no warning or messages on the dash. I have been ill so the process of getting the car appraised or considered for repairs has just begun. I incurred towing charges and rental fees. My son is having headaches and back pain since this incident. What made it extremely scary is that it happened suddenly.

My vehicle squeaks so bad. I've had numerous problems with my brakes since I purchase it brand new. So I took it back and forward to the dealership for over a year and nothing was done then finally they did a full front and back break job, had the rotors turned and the vehicle is still squeaking badly. The dealership keeps telling me they can't find anything but something is wrong. I'm afraid to go far in my car because of safety concerns. Problem acquires when braking.
