1 Steering problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2022

The car driver side window door leaks water into the driver side floor near where the legs go. The floor is always wet has mold on it. Mirror above driver side has mold on it. Seatbelts throughout the car have accumulated mold on them. Behind the driver side that rug is wet soaked as well. The water has traveled to the left side of the vehicle is now getting moist. The trunk never shuts there’s an electrical issue with the wiring. As I drive the trunk opens and shuts not completely but unlatches allowing the trunk to swing open. The electrical issue with the trunk has drained my battery several times. The notification of the door door being open is constantly draining my battery. I have been stranded several times due to this electrical issue. As I drive the steering wheel tilt to the right I cannot control my steering. My steering wheel now looks like it’s out of place it’s like if I try to drive straight the car will go slight right. I have three toddlers who I need to drive to daycare in order to go to work to provide for my family. I do not feel safe driving this car. I went to a Nissan dealership informed them of all these issues in my concerns that I did not feel safe driving this car and they said there was nothing I could do about it unless I paid for the fix. As a consumer defect I do not feel I should be responsible for the manufacture errors.

Nissan subframe design is very unsafe. They have manufactured a common problem in añmost alll Nissan . , the front subfrane washers are hold in the subframe under pressure. , bad bad idea thats not safe . Tires and suspensin are subject to maximun vibration and hits by the road and those washers can not hold those impacts. .

4 Steering problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2018

I was driving on ih10, in houston at 60-65mph, 6 lanes. Had driven 10-15 mile, car started trembling at steerring, did not feel in control of staying in my lane. Eased accelerator, tried again, felt same shimmy, unsafe. Easied to 1st exit, ASAP. 1st auto shop on campbell rd. Drove it, felt it was axle problem, but couldnt get it on lift til Monday. 2nd repair -silber auto service diagnosed same, got on lift within hour. Replaced next 2 days. I left , got rental, back home to nb, TX. Tuesday shop said it did not correct problem. Had it towed home by family Thursday, nb Nissan inspected Friday. 29,000 miles on auto, out of 5yr warranty. 'cannot duplicate concern" I do not feel safe driving Nissan at this time. I had gone to be with 93yr dad heights hospital w fractured lt hip, stayed 2 nites in hospital, started home to work 2 weekend shifts as pedi hh nurse on good Friday. I was prepared to keep auto for at least another 4-5 yr, as I am in late 60's. Very disappointed w Nissan, this my 2nd Nissan. Havee read other people with same concerns with same type vehicle. Was hoping they would correct the unsafe " concern". Will not trade into Nissan, but must take care of my own life/safety. Have taken good care of Nissan with oil changes, tire rotation, new battery, x2 new tires out of unrepairable flat, torn windshield rubber molding, flapping uncalled for on highway on previous trip to houston. Same nb Nissan repaired on my return. I had 22,000 miles then, last year. Nissan USA was unhelpful, unsynpathetic, I feel its just $$ & business as usual for auto industry. Thats what they do, pitiful.

6 Steering problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2016

Started 3 day ago stalling while driving down the road. The steering wheel locks up and lose power even with the accelerator all the way down. Almost got rear ended. The engine is still running but have to put in park and turn engine off and restart. Happened 4 times today on my way to work. You lose power with everything but engine still working. Called Nissan to see if there was a recall because there were a lot of complaints with this same problem and they said no. This is a very serious problem that needs to be investigated. Nissan wanted me to bring to dealership and pay 114. 00 just to get a diagnois . Online they said it was a fail safety which Nissan should be responsible before someone gets badly hurt or killed.

8 Steering problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2013

Driving on hwy, went to make left at light, the wheels locked and the car slid into a guardrail damaging the entire front of vehicle. I want to know if there is some sort of factory defect with the braking or steering system and if so what is my recourse to have this car exchanged or repaired. I've had it for 3 months - don't believe anything should be locking on it. This is dangerous for me and any passengers I may have. I need to know about this brand new now damaged car of mine. Thank you.
