Consumer Description

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN EXCHANGE FOR A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT HAD SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING COMPONENTS. THIS CAR SEEMS ONE STEP WORSE THAN THE ONE I JUST TRADED. HEATED STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK. POWER STEERING GROWLS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO GEAR AND WHINES WITH A HIGH-PITCHED NOISE THAT CAN BE HEARD VERY CLEARLY IN THE CABIN WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. ENGINE IS NOISY. THERE IS ALSO A SHIMMY IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE CAR EXCEEDS SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. APPOINTMENT MADE WITH DEALER WITH A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE (REQUESTED BY ME). POOR MANUFACTURE AND DESIGN OF VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS INNOVATION THAT IS DISAPPOINTING, TO SAY THE LEAST. IF NISSAN IS UNABLE TO REPAIR VEHICLE PROPERLY, I WILL TRADE VEHICLE FOR A SUBARU AND NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND SAFETY ISSUES. *TR
