NHTSA Complaint #10074866 — 2004 NISSAN ARMADA

THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL KEPT ON VEERING TO THE RIGHT WHILE VEHICLE IN OCCUPYING AND GOT WORSE AT BRAKING. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY AND VEER IT TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING STRAIGHT. THIS WILL CAUSE HUNDRED OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PEOPLE WHO DRIVING IT. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS NORMAL CROWN DRIFT AND DON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD CONTACTED NISSAN MANUFACTURE CONCERN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN ADDRESSED ALL VEHICLES ARE SUPPOSED TO SLIGHTLY VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN YOUR HAND IS REMOVED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A SAFETY PRECAUTION THAT KEEPS VEHICLES FROM GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE EVENT THE DRIVER FALLS ASLEEP, HAS A HEART ATTACK, STROKE, ETC. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 10 YEARS AND NEVER HEAR ABOUT THIS BEFORE. I HAD DRIVE THE HONDA, TOYOTA, DODGE RAM, ACURA, MALIBU, CHEVY AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY VEERING OF THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. I HAVE BEEN ASKING A LOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT THIS EVERYONE SAID ALL THE VEHICLES HAVE TO GO STRAIGHT WHEN RUNNING ON A GOOD LEVELED ROAD. NISSAN DIDN'T PUT ANY KIND OF WRITING OR NOTE ON THE CONTRACT, VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES OR VEHICLE DESCRIPTION TO LET THE CUSTOMERS KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE WILL VEER TO THE RIGHT DUE TO SAFETY PRECAUTION. ACCORDINGLY TO THE CONTRACT THE DEALER HAS TO LET THE CUSTOMERS ANY PROBLEM THAT THE VEHICLE HAS. I HAD NEVER BEEN TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL SLIGHTLY VEER TO THE RIGHT BY SALE REP, SALE MANAGER, AND SO ON. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHER FOR OUR SAFETY. THANKS. *AK
