The federal safety agency campaign id number : 10v554000 this recall campaign describes exactly what happened last saturday to my 2002 nissan frontier....my steering column broke off while I was driving and I had absolutely no steering. I almost crashed twice and but managed to land the truck safely on a friend's mother's front lawn. An experienced mechanic on scene said he had never seen a steering column break off like this one did. It was towed by a flatbed from there and is currently at the local nissan dealer, but there are no parts available anywhere to fix it. I had no choice but to buy another vehicle this week, and I did buy another nissan, a 2009 frontier.
2002 Nissan Frontier steering complaints

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 nissan frontier. While test driving the vehicle at 40 MPH, it began to pull to the right. The contract stated that the alignment would be serviced and the vehicle was taken to the dealer. By that time, the alignment failure became worse. The vehicle was returned to the dealer three additional times, but the failure continued to worsen. The current mileage was 84,000 and failure mileage was 70,412.
The outer edges of the two front tires continues to feather (wear off unevenly) and the vehicle continues to pull to the right after three attempts to repair the defect by the nissan dealer. This is a serious safety hazard according to two certified mechanics. As a result, we have not been able to fully utilize the vehicle as indicated by the low odometer reading (less the 7,000 miles after a year).
