“The power steering on my car stopped working out of no where while driving on the highway. I couldn't turn and almost crashed while going around a bend. Brought it to a Nissan dealer and they told me the entire steering column needs to be replaced for $5,390. On a 2015 Nissan. Less than 50,000 miles and less than 3 years old.”
NHTSA complaint #11080227, filed 2018-03, 48,000 miles“It started off with the 'ps' light turning on and the power steering completely turning off. This car has an electric power steering and I am glad I was in a parking lot. Googling the problem you get many stories of the power steering failing on this model. It stopped working all together.”
NHTSA complaint #11252617, filed 2019-08, 100,000 miles“While driving in the freeway this morning I heard a click and then the ps , power steering, light turned on. The car was driving in a straight line when this occured. When exiting the freeway it was clear that the electric power steering had turned off. When I got to work unattached my bluetooth obd-ii reader to check the codes. The reader showed zero codes recorded. I left the reader installed. When I started the car to go to lunch the ps light was off again and power steering was functioning. …”
NHTSA complaint #11270346, filed 2019-10, 75,500 miles“Car has no stability on the road, it almost feels like im in a windstorm, and in a rainstorm if I hit standing water it will throw me into the other lane. It is worse on the freeway and will push me near the other lane.”
NHTSA complaint #11011710, filed 2017-07, 50,000 miles“Power steering fails in higher than 85 degree temperatures as well as below 25 degrees. Sometimes the warning light for it comes on when it fails and other times it does not. This problem comes and goes, not limited to just moving. I can shift into gear and have immediate difficulty or be driving along at any speed then suddenly the power steering is gone. I was advised by the ada, ok dealership that the 2015 Nissan Versa does not use power steering fluid and that the problem is the power steering computer.”
