Steering Column problems of the 2007 Nissan Sentra

My car's power steering stop working. According to Nissan I need a new power steering column, price 1795. 00 plus labor and tax. They have a recall on the Nissan Sentra 2007 for this same reason but for some reason my cars's VIN is not one of them. I think if my car has the same problem as the other ones it should be included in the recall.

During a uturn the steering wheel locked and was unable to continue. Auto needed to be towed back to the dealership. Was given an estimate for $2500 to replace the entire steering column.

While driving the vehicle, a bolt in the steering column broke and the wheel was no longer connected to the wheels, making a turn the wheel became impossible as the wheel spun completely around multiple times. This is the second time we've had a problem with the steering column, the first time the entire column was replaced. We have owned this car for only 8 months and it was new when we purchased it. We are currently waiting to hear from Nissan about our request for an exchange or refund, and we feel this vehicle is no longer safe to operate.

My 2007 Nissan Sentra was purchased new in December 2006. After having to bring in my car on several occasions for minor glitches (a rear-view mirror falling off, one of the sun-visors fell off), I finally had a big problem. In February 2008, while driving on a straight, flat road, while approaching an intersection I prepared to stop my vehicle for a light. I was about 4 car lengths behind the car ahead of me, and was only traveling about 35 mph. When I pressed the brake pedal softly, nothing happened. Then I pushed the brake pedal down all the way, and still nothing happened. I had a wide shoulder to my right, so I tried turning the wheel and it had locked up. At this point, I made contact with the car ahead of me. My car was immediately taken to a repair shop and had the steering column replaced, as well as the hood of the car and various other parts needing to be fixed. The emotional trauma from the accident was difficult and though there were no established injuries, I did experience slight neck and back pain afterward. I was found to be at fault for the accident, despite the brake and steering wheel malfunction, and subsequently had a large increase in my car insurance premium. A Nissan representative was flown out at my request to run diagnostics on the Sentra but since the steering column was replaced as well as other replaced/fixed parts, no information was found. I am 100% positive that the accident was caused due to a mechanical failure and would warn against purchasing a Nissan Sentra. It was a horrible experience and I'm stuck with the car since Nissan would offer no assistance for the trouble.
