Consumer Description

THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY LOOSE AND THE CAR IS HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT. IT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. IF YOU GET IN A GROOVE IN THE ROAD IT WILL ABOUT TAKE THE CAR AND CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL. I THOUGHT I HAD A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND IT IS THE STEERING. WHEN OTHERS RIDE WITH ME THEY ASK IF I'M OK BECAUSE OF THE CAR GOING SIDE TO SIDE. I AVOID THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE WITH SPEED INCREASE IT'S EVEN HARDER TO KEEP IN MY LANE. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AFTER GETTING THE CAR. TRIED TO IGNORE THINKING IT WAS ME, THAT I WAS NOT USE TO THE WAY A NISSAN HANDLED AS I HAVE NEVER OWNED ONE BEFORE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ AT LEAST 16 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNER'S WHILE ON THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE.
