The ps warning light has been coming on intermittently. The power steering goes out and the vehicle is hard to steer. My safety and others are put at risk if I lose power steering. We have done research online and plan to take it to a dealership to confirm the exact issue. The ps warning light has come on a few times over the last several months and the power steering comes and goes.
When you press on the accelerator and gain speed the car abruptly jerks to the right. I believe it’s caused by a defect of the traction control system.
The power steering system in my Nissan Versa has put me at risk it must be repaired because it is part of the recall car affected.
When driving on highway at about 60 mph car feels very out of control like if its on roller skates, feels like car is going to sway this way or that way. Very unsafe feeling. Very scary.
While driving in the freeway this morning I heard a click and then the "ps", power steering, light turned on. The car was driving in a straight line when this occured. When exiting the freeway it was clear that the electric power steering had turned off. When I got to work unattached my bluetooth obd-ii reader to check the codes. The reader showed zero codes recorded. I left the reader installed. When I started the car to go to lunch the "ps" light was off again and power steering was functioning. When pulling into a parking lot for lunch the power steering suddenly cut out and the "ps" light turned back on. My obd-ii reader reported no codes. Upon starting the car again the "ps" light was once again off and the power steering worked again. The power steering worked during the drive home and the "ps" light stayed off.
Steering wheel came off the car.
While driving during the day (it was over 95 degrees), all of sudden all the warning lights came on, the brake pedal locked up, the gas pedal didn't work, and the power steering wasn't working. I was able to pull it over. I turned it off and on twice, and everything was working fine. I'm taking it to the dealer to be checked out (the next day).
Car has no stability on the road, it almost feels like im in a windstorm, and in a rainstorm if I hit standing water it will throw me into the other lane. It is worse on the freeway and will push me near the other lane.
A few weeks ago while I was driving my car shut off right in the middle of the street and was unable to steer, my children were in the car. I has gas in the car, the car never overheated and there were no warning lights on the car. This happened twice already with the first time being July 15, 2017.
While driving on the freeway, my car all of a sudden stalled to the point where I could not steer, press on the gas or the brake. I had to turn my car completely off and back on in the middle of the freeway in order for the car to work again. This happened three times in a span of a mile before I was finally able to get over to the shoulder of the freeway. I felt unsafe in my vehicle due to the fact that I was on the freeway in traffic and could not move my own car.
Acceration of the car hesitates ; car jerks and have cut off while driving. Put higher octane of gas in car and still having same problem.
The car's power steering stopped functioning, a ps indication on the dash was illuminated. The vehicle was very difficult to drive in this condition. This is the second time this has occurred.
When driving the car at speeds 40mph and above, the car does not stay in the lane. This car is continuously pulling to the left out of the lane towards cars in the middle lane, with no control to correct, then pushed to the right out of lane, back and forth my whole ride with no subsiding. The issue at times escalates by getting out of control while driving straight on any road, going back and forth left to right very fast and short by itself with the steering wheel centered. For this issue I'm needing to wait for the correction and slow down the car. The front tires are continuously getting thrown out of alignment as soon as I drive it following servicing. I have had 4 service appointments for alignments and balancing within a 2 week time frame, replaced tires, and brought to Nissan directly for a diagnosis with no change to this safety issue. I do not believe the alignment is the root cause of this safety problem. In addition, when a car or any vehicle drives by my car on any road, more severe on the highway, my car is pushed across my lane and there is no windy conditions. This does occur on the highway and local streets. It is also apparently visible to other drivers as I see cars from behind me move to the middle lane, speed up and pass me in the far left of their lane, then cut me off. I do not believe again that this is a wheel issue, and I do not know what is the root cause of this is however what I do know is that it is not safe for myself or others on the road. I have an opened complaint with Nissan consumer affairs and so far their response has been, go back to Nissan for another alignment, to which I have had several already with no change to the root problem.
