I purchased the vehicle and right away i noticed that the steering was not right. The car either goes left or right will not stay straight. This is a very dangerous situation because you can not take your eyes off the road for a second. This is the worst driving car i have ever driven. The dealership says it is just the new steering system and you have to get use to it. This is a real problem and needs to be fixed.…

After driving my new car, i noticed that above 60 mph, even when the steering wheel is held straight ahead, the car will veer either to the left or right without ever moving the wheel - at random, regardless of crown or truck-rutted road. Dealer checked the steering, as well as another new altima; both made similar clunking noises left and right when parked and idled by moving the steering wheel a few inches either…

I stopped the car and believed i put it in park. I got out of the car--it did not move. I went to the rear passenger door and got my two year old out of her car seat. I placed her beside the car and shut the rear door. I walked around behind the car to the driver's door. I turned the car off like i always do. The car shut off--and suddenly without warning--began rapidly moving down my driveway. My baby was at the…

Power steering makes a very annoying whine that makes the car undriveable at low speeds. Went to dealership and was told this is normal? I cant even enjoy my new car and apparently a lot of these people are having the same problem. Nissan fix this power steering!! *tr

Vehicle wanders and does not keep in a straight line. It is not stable . There is lot of wind noise coming inside and there is always a sloshing sound and believe it is the fuel. Not safe as the fuel always bangs around the walls. *tr

Power steering pump began making very loud high pitch whining noise after only owning the car for two days. Took to dealership and the service manager looked at it and claimed that the power steering pumps are electronic now and they do make a little noise but nothing like the noise my car was making. He contacted nissan the very next morning and had a rep out to look at it. Currently my brand new car is sitting at…

On the third day of owning this vehicle, i took it on the interstate. This vehicle has the worst handling of any car i have ever driven. It drifts all over the road with little control. If you are in a crosswind or behind a truck, the vehicle drifts horribly too. You must have a good handle on the steering wheel to keep correcting to stay in your lane! This is a very unsafe vehicle. I am very uncomfortable driving…
