Consumer Description

MY 2002 NISSAN XTERRA 4X2 STEERING WAS DESIGNED TO NOT RETURN TO CENTER ON ITS OWN AFTER MAKING A SHARP TURN EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AT SLOW SPEEDS. I DISCOVERED THIS BY ALMOST RUNNING INTO A FENCE AFTER TURNING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME...PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE IS A REAL CHALLANGE TO KEEP FROM RAMMING THE CAR NEXT TO ME. MY DEALER ADMITS THEY ALL DO IT WITH NO CORRECTION AVALIABLE.*AK
