2018 Nissan Pathfinder Steering Problems

The engine began to fail because of a lack of adequate breathability into the crankcase, causing high crankcase pressure, excessive oil blowby, severe exhaust smoke, severe engine sludge, severe engine shuddering, and lack of response to the power steering because of engine power loss. The failure of the PCV system was at fault. Produced codes P0300, P0306, and P0430. Engine sludge needed to be cleaned, PCV hoses and PCV needed to be replaced, spark plugs needed to be replaced because of blowby, and valve covers also needed to be replaced because of sludge clogging the PCV baffles within the valve covers.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the steering wheel seized, and the brake pedal was depressed because the contact was unable to turn the steering wheel. The contact stated that the air bag then deployed. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the steering wheel remained inoperable. The contact towed the vehicle to his place of employment. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

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.

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.

"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

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.
