“My vehicle shot down at a stop light. After restarting it three times, it started. Then a few yards away I was making a right turn and as I did the vehicle pulled across the road to the left lane. I then regained control of it.”
NHTSA complaint #11063395, filed 2018-01, 43,000 miles“When turning the vehicle while parking it makes a clicking noise. The noise can also be felt in the steering wheel. It started 2 weeks after we purchased it. It's similar to a broken cv joint noise. This is a brand new vehicle and the dealer stated we don't know how to repair it, but it's save to drive. If one doesn't know what it is, how can they say it's safe to drive? I've contacted Nissan's consumer complaint line and they're sticking with the same narrative.”
NHTSA complaint #10910833, filed 2016-09, 100 miles“5,000 miles. When you turn steering wheel I feel vibrations at my feet that correspond to the direct action of the turning wheel. This happens driving and still. Car has been to dealor 4 times, and was inspected by Nissan corporate. At the time corporate checked vehicle it was not making the complaint. They replaced some parts - boot previously which only fixed for a few weeks. The feeling is especially detectable where you would normally put your left foot. Driving straight does not make the feeling happen.”

I have taken it to the dealership where I purchased it but they cannot tell me what is wrong and they have stated that its a known problem with Nissan north america and that I will have to wait until Nissan north america gives them direction on how to fix it. I have contacted consumer's affairs and Nissan north america and am awaiting a call back from them as well. …”
