Steering Rack And Pinion problem #1

Steering the vehicle, gradually became harder (it would pull slightly to the right. When checking air pressure, I noticed the front tires were worn excessively. I then took the vehicle in for repair, where I was told I must have hit a curve or had been involved in an accident, neither was the case. I had to have the complete front-end of the vehicle replaced by auto nation south bay Nissan of hawthorne,CA invoice #685460, which included: rack and pinion, steering angle sensor, gear and linkage, switch assembly combination, and core.

Steering problem #2

There was no incident but now I’m scared to drive my vehicle that I’m still paying for and my insurance telling me if I don’t get the recall resolve it’s going to be an issue.
