Owner Complaints (2)
Your power steering system is intermittently shutting off without warning, causing the steering wheel to pull to one side and requiring you to steer manually until power steering suddenly comes back on. A yellow warning light with an exclamation mark appears when this happens, but the problem occurs randomly with no predictable pattern. A Nissan dealership has already diagnosed the issue. The fix will likely involve inspecting and repairing the power steering motor, control module, or related electrical connections.
