2018 Nissan Pathfinder Steering Problems

While driving at 70 MPH, your steering wheel suddenly locked up and became impossible to turn. Your airbag deployed during this incident. Even after turning the vehicle off and restarting it, the steering wheel remained stuck and inoperable. The problem occurred at around 11,000 miles. A complete diagnostic at a Nissan dealer or qualified mechanic will be needed to identify what caused the steering system to fail.

Your engine's PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system failed, preventing proper air flow through the crankcase and causing excessive pressure buildup. This led to oil blowby, thick exhaust smoke, severe engine sludge buildup, rough shaking, and loss of power steering response due to engine power loss. The fix will involve replacing the PCV valve and hoses, cleaning engine sludge, replacing spark plugs, and replacing valve covers to clear sludge blockages.

I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING ON A BACK ROAD, THERE WAS A GUARDRAIL TO MY LEFT AND AND A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER TURNING IN FRONT OF ME ON MY RIGHT. MY SENSORS MUST HAVE THOUGHT THEY WERE TOO CLOSE BECAUSE MY CAR LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT TURN CAUSING ME TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE IS NON OPERABLE AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH SUSPENSION, AXEL, KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, WINDOW, BACK UP CAMERA, AND MANY MORE

ANTI COLLISION LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND BEEPING INTERMITTENTLY AND VEHICLE SEEMS TO JERK WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. THERE IS NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND ME. AND ANTI COLLISION LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL VEHICLES IS TURNED OFF THEN ON AGAIN PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN 1 WEAK .DRIVING FREEWAY 2 TIMES 1 CITY DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. AND WHEN VEHICLES JERKS AFRAID IT JUST WANTS TO JUST STOP IN MOTION WERE I'M AT BUT DOESN'T.

WE HAVE HAD OUR CAR INTO THE DEALER 9 TIMES SINCE JUNE 2018. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING THE CRUISE CONTROL SENSORS AND THE CAR STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT VERY HARD. WE HAVE WORKED THRU THE DEALER, THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS, CONTACTED THE BBB AUTO AND HAVE AN OPEN ACCOUNT THERE. WE GOT OUR CAR BACK YESTERDAY AND TOOK IT FOR A LONG RIDE ON HIGHWAY 95 NORTH THIS AFTERNOON AND FOR 100 MILES THE CAR KEPT PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND THEN TO THE LEFT AND CONTINUED FOR EVERY MILE. WE TURNED OFF ONTO A 3 LANE ROAD AND WERE GOING SLOWER AND IT WENT ACROSS ALL THREE LANES EACH WAY, LEFT AND RIGHT. I TOOK VIDEO WHILE MY HUSBAND DROVE. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE WERE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY VIA A CLOVERLEAF TURN AND THE CAR ALMOST RAN INTO THE GUARDRAIL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AT 3:30 AND THEY TOLD US THEY WERE CLOSING SOON SO WE COULD NOT BRING THE CAR IN. THEY SAID AN EXPERT FROM NISSAN CORPORATE SAID THE CAR WORKED JUST FINE. MY HUSBAND SAYS ITS NOT TIRES, THE STEERING IS BINDING AND HE HAS ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE ASKED TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY BUT THEY SAID THE MANAGER CHARLIE HAD BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WOULD TALK ON MONDAY. I EMAILED THE CORPORATE PERSON BUT IT IS SATURDAY. WE HAVE DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AS IT COULD BE HAPPENING ALL OVER.
