| In a parking lot going 3 or 4 mph i bumped into a curb. it was a slush condition, i got out and looked at some scrapes on my hubcap. i drove around for a min., it did not pull in any direction. i went on with my day. after 3 hours of driving my rack n pinion steering part snapped while i was driving. i had no steering ! i had it fixed at a local asc cert. shop for fear of nissan taking the part and charging me twice as much,while saying it was my fault. i had a former honda engineer look at the steel and in his opinion the part should have failed in two other locations before snapping. no bent ty rod or anything else. the steel looks like a bad batch in that it did not shear it let go out of weakness. i contacted nissan consumer affairs to no avail. i filled their suvey stating what happend and still nothing... | |||

| I dismissed the pull i felt while driving my new nissan versa since feb. 2012 as being new to driving on mountainous roads.... but after having a major scare this weekend where my steering went completely out i am not sure if it is not all connected. when driving i can not let my hands off the wheel at all with out it significantly moving towards the next lane/curb. then this weekend when sitting in traffic (yes it was very hot outside) with ac on i traveled a few feet beyond the traffic light and went to make a right turn when my steering became so hard that it took all my strenth to keep the car from colliding with signs/off road. it was like i lost power steering... i got it to an empty parking lot near by and turned the car off for about 1 min. the check engine light was on and oil light. i restarted the car and steering had returned. called the dealer and they took me in right away and looked at it and said there were no trouble codes stored and electric power steering motor may have got hot enough for the control module to shut it off to prevent damage. does this mean i can't steer my car if it gets hot outside??????? i am a mother and don't feel safe traveling in this car!!!!! i do not feel that the dealership was concerned with what had happened. | |||

| The car seems to have very loose steering or is really out of alignment. feels like i am being buffeted by a strong wind. the steering wheel doesn't move, but the car pulls left and right. especially at higher speeds, it is a struggle to keep in the lane. different road surfaces add to the movement. i have taken it back to the dealership and have been told there is no problem. | |||
