2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2020

While driving and when accelerating the vehicle waives to the right and since the steering wheel is held straight the car comes back into the lane. This happens at speeds 30+ and specially 60+. I changed 4 michelin new tires, did alignment and the problem was not solved. Took the car to a local mechanic and he said that suspension is good "tight" and no leaking is visible from the joints. Problems is a safety issue since I am planning to give the car to my 16 year old daughter.

3 Steering problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2018

We own a 2013 Nissan Versa, with 52,310 miles. We keep great care of the car, with routine maintance checks, oil changes, tire rotations, etc. The car is housed in the midwest, thus driving on a fairly flat surface it's whole existence. The vehicle has never been in an accident. We found out we have to get a whole new transmission put in our vehicle costing $4,050. This seems outrageous as our vehicle has less miles than the average vehicle puts on each year. We also have to get new front brushing costing $387. 53. This is ridiculous for a car with that little of mileage on it. It has never been in an accident of any kind. Outrageous!. The vehicle clocks when braking, going over the smallest bumps, and turning. The vahie struggles to get up to 40 mph and has a noticeable kick to it. We took the vehicle in as soon as we noticed a problem.

5 Steering problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2013

The car wanders wildly at speeds of 55mph + and you are in another lane if the wind blows. Have brought to dealer, had tires rotated, suspension checked tire psi matching etc. It is design flaw with some component, whether it be the car is simply too light, or the suspension is too soft etc. This is a serious safety concern. I have actually been pulled over by state troopers for "excessive weaving", when it was windy out.
