NHTSA Complaint #10693303 — 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA

DRIVING AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 50MPH CONSTANT STEER CORRECTIONS NEED TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAR SAFELY BETWEEN LANES. THE CAR MOVES LEFT AND RIGHT AND CANNOT KEEP A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT CONSTANTLY NEEDING TO CORRECT THE STEERING. THIS IS ON CALM WEATHER TODAY 3/10/2015, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE 49 DEGREES, WIND SPEED 2 MPH FOR WOODBURN, OR AREA ACCORDING TO WEATHER.COM. EVEN IF THERE IS NO WIND, THE CAR FEELS LIKE THERE ARE CROSS WINDS. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND COMPLAINS FROM OTHER OWNERS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET INCLUDING AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE CENTERS. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HIGHER WIND SPEEDS AND HOW DANGEROUS THAT CAN BE WITH A CAR THAT CANNOT KEEP A STRAIGHT LINE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS A ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT IS SPEED SENSITIVE. IT IS DANGEROUS AS UNEXPECTED LANE SWERVING CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE STEERING ASSIST AND OFFER A MORE SMOOTHER RIDE AND A BETTER HANDLING EXPERIENCE ON HIGHWAYS. THE DEALER SERVICE CENTERS CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND ARE TELLING YOU TO DEAL WITH IT AND LEARN HOW TO DRIVE THE CAR. *TR
