Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THE VEHICLE MAKE A WHINING, THEN A GRINDING NOISE, ALONG WITH DIFFICULTY STEERING. HAD IT CHECKED (THINKING THE POWER STEERING PUMP) WAS TOLD IT WAS THE PUMP, THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE, AND THE RACK AND PINION AND THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL REPAIR ON VEHICLE OF THIS AGE. REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION, AND THE HOSE, AND STILL HAVING ISSUES. I HAVE AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS JAPANESE, AMERICAN, AND GERMAN SOME WITH TWICE THE MILEAGE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OF THIS NATURE. CHECKED THE NISSAN FORUMS AND THIS IS COMMON WITH VEHICLES OF THIS VINTAGE, MURANO, AND ALTIMA WITH A 3.5 LITER V6. REGARDLESS OF ITS COMMONALITY, ITS STILL OF SAFETY CONCERN AND DESERVES ATTENTION. *TR
