Consumer Description

ON FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 2010, I STARTED MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA . WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. I PULLED BACK IN THE PARKING SPACE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO BACK UP, THEN DRIVE LIKE NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2010 AND AFTER A "DIAGNOSTIC TEST", THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1250. IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT ON NOVEMBER 11, 2010, NISSAN PUT A RECALL OUT ON THEIR FRONTIER AND XTERRA OVER SAFETY CONCERNS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY SENTRA IS AT THE DEALER AWAITING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE. *TR
