This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The power steering has intermittently been de-activating. There is a warning light that comes on (yellow triangle with an exclamation mark). When this happens it causes the steering wheel to feel like it-??s pulls in a direction. After we suddenly lose power steering with no warning we-??re left to drive a car with no power steering until it suddenly re-engages. There has been no rhyme or reason to when this happens. The issue has been diagnosed at a factory dealership. The car has not sustained any accident (ever) in the +/- 4 years we-??ve owned
TL - the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Leaf. The contact stated while driving 22 mph he lost control of the vehicle as it veered to the right without warning. The contact then crashed into a pole. A police report was filed and the contact sustained a fractured right knee and hand, requiring medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 400. Updated 06/19/14 after he crashed into the pole, the vehicle came to a halt making almost a 75 degree angle in the road. As the vehicle abruptly started drifting towards the right side, he tried very hard to steer it back to make it straight, but with no success. Updated 06/26/14
