NHTSA Complaint #11156842 — 2010 NISSAN SENTRA

ON MY 2010 NISSAN SENTRA S - PS WARNING LIGHT (POWER STEERING) COMES ON, AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING (SO VERY HARD TO TURN THE CAR LEFT OR RIGHT). I RE-START THE CAR AND PS WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEARS, THOUGH SOMETIMES I HAVE TO START THE CAR A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE PS LIGHT GOES OFF !. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS/EVENING AND IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I CALLED UP NISSAN AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THERE IS A RECALL WITH NISSAN ALTIMA FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT WITH NISSAN SENTRA. ON THE NET I SEE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER CARS HAVING ELECTRICAL PS SIMILAR TO NISSAN SENTRA (EG. NISSAN VERSA & ALTIMA) THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR PS ISSUE WITH NISSAN SENTRA AS WELL, SINCE THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND A SECURITY RISK.
