Consumer Description

BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A NISSAN DEALER AS A USED CAR IN JUNE 2012, IT IS THE LT VE MODEL. THE PROBLEM IS: WHILE TURNING LEFT WITH ACCELERATION THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS RIGHT, AT TIMES IT CAN BE JERKED OUT OF THE HANDS (DEPENDS ON ACCELERATION SPEED), ALSO A CLUNKING NOISE FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL AT TIMES (WITH OR WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING). SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH OR BETTER, TAKING A LEFT HANDED CURVE, STEERING WILL BECOME STIFF AND HARD TO TURN. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS YET BUT IT COULD IN THE FUTURE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. *TR
