Three problems related to steering wheel have been reported for the 1997 Nissan Pathfinder. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Left front strut tower, and frame rusted away causing strut to hit steering shaft. Brake master cylinder hitting hood. Vehicle unsafe to drive.
Hit a pothole and then started hearing a noise from the front driver side of the vehicle. I then noticed that my odometer was no longer working. Upon inspecting the vehicle I found that the driver's side front strut tower had a large rusted out area and that the spot welds of the panels were separating. This problem seems to be the same as those listed in NHTSA action number: pe11004.
While driving 40-45 a rear tire was making noise, steering wheel and rear tires locked up. Consumer tried to pull vehicle over accelerator pedal, had no power. Vehicle was towed to repair shop. Please provide further information.
