Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 2WD PICKUP. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS A LITTLE LOOSE BUT THE DEALER ASSURED US IT WAS OK. THE VEHICLE HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN BEARING HAS FAILED AND MUST BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND RECURRENT PROBLEM ON CERTAIN NISSAN VEHICLES. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE FAILURE OF THE BEARING LEADS TO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, ALTHOUGH MANY COMPLAINTS WERE RECEIVED. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE BEARING BEING SOLD FOR REPLACEMENT IS THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL PART AND MAY FAIL AGAIN. *TR
