Bought vehicle from used from private owner a year ago and noticed less then two weeks later while driving including on the freeway the engine just turns off with no steering control, almost no brake control, and sometimes takes a few minutes to start up again just to get out of the way of other vehicles. Now it-€™s overheating and leaking coolant on front passenger side floor along with the ground now shutting off more frequently. Also shortly after I bought the vehicle I could hear squeaking noises from under vehicle while driving over the smallest bump and every turn and is so loud it-€™s heard from 2 small streets away and feels like any second the body might separate from the wheels. I-€™m not sure about the rest.
According to your recalls and my VIN# my new used vehicle has not been maintenance for the recall. There is distinct play in the steering and the vehicle is bouncy. I need to know where to take my Xterra to have it fixed asap if possible. Recall campaign numbers are 10E019000 & 10V208000
While driving in the street, the right control arm of my vehicle broke resulting lost control of the vehicle and crash. There first recall of this part happen sometime in 2010 but I did not receive it. In 2015, I had the accident. Earlier this year, 2017 I receive the email about this part being defective and part of the recall.
Steering wheel shakes between 55 and 75 mph, inconsistently but always somewhere in that range. Customer service at Nissan is non existent. They do not return calls, and are not concerned about customer safety dealers are A-holes, they do not serve their customers, only want to charge a lot of money and then 1/2 the time will not actually fix what was wrong. At least the one in Maryland which I go to (jones) I have heard of them taking your car in and actually taking parts off of it to put on somebody else's car, then putting bad parts back on your car and releasing it to you as well as not doing anything and charging hundreds of dollars as if they did do something. Crooks.
