“Driving on hwy, went to make left at light, the wheels locked and the car slid into a guardrail damaging the entire front of vehicle. I want to know if there is some sort of factory defect with the braking or steering system and if so what is my recourse to have this car exchanged or repaired. I've had it for 3 months - don't believe anything should be locking on it. This is dangerous for me and any passengers I may have. I need to know about this brand new now damaged car of mine. Thank you.”

“Started to get a clicking noise in steering wheel when turning to left or right. Started happening around 16,000 miles. Took in to a Nissan service center to have checked. The response was that Nissan corp. Would not allow service center to just replace parts . Dealer told me that there was nothing they could do? Don't be concerned. I have a very uneasy feel when driving the car. Waiting for the clicking to become and issue in controlling the steering of the car. If this car had the clicking noise when I test drove it I would have not purchased it. …”

“Started 3 day ago stalling while driving down the road. The steering wheel locks up and lose power even with the accelerator all the way down. Almost got rear ended. The engine is still running but have to put in park and turn engine off and restart. Happened 4 times today on my way to work. You lose power with everything but engine still working. Called Nissan to see if there was a recall because there were a lot of complaints with this same problem and they said no. This is a very serious problem that needs to be investigated. …”
