| I own a 2007 nissan titan. when i drive the vehicle, the steering wheel feels like it is slipping. it doesn't feel stable even when i am going straight. i'm sure its not the alignment but has to do with the suspension. i have had problems with the steering controls before because last spring during the raining season my vehicle slipped out of control when i was driving straight with the 4 wheel drive on going about 40 mph on the 15 freeway. i felt during that time it was the rain that caused me to slip but after that incident it has gradually gotten worse. i have ask nissan to take a look but they wanted to charge me $130 just for an inspection. my vehicle has not been in any accidents nor any repair was done to the vehicle since i have purchased it. i feel that this is a very big safety issue and that it endangers the life of my family and also the public. | |||
