Consumer Description

WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR LAST YEAR,THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD GO UP. IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT UNDER WARRANTY FOR NO CHARGE. IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING IN AUGUST OF 2016. CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY NOW. THERE ARE SO MANY FOLKS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT MOVE UP. IT IS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE.
