The wheel is turn slightly to the right so it seems like it's perfectly straight but in reality it's not. Now do you see I have put the marks(this is where I'm noticing unalignment) if I put the wheel perfectly straight the wheel and steering column plastic will not be aligned from the right side. Now the car holds its lines, does not pull to the left or right. I'm just wondering if it's mechanical or plastic cover went off a bit or it's been like that all the time. Kinda strange to notice. Its really dangerous sometimes cause I am trying to make it straight and I find my self going slightly to the left. I told my dealership about this and all he responded ... Oh well no more perfection these days. Not professional though I have been driving maxima's for a while now I have never found a single imperfection like this.

Driver side airbags deployed after driver side door was shut while parked in driveway. Terrible shaking when going 60mph and especially bad when brakes are applied, which then cause a hard jerk or pull to the right. Wheels were all four bent at the time I purchased the car, but dealer never fixed one thing I listed and he agreed to fix or attempted to fix before the sale. Car was repossessed months later and resold at private auction. The new owners need to be aware of the airbags that are missing. This car obviously was in an accident and does not show up on any vehicle history report but I am unable to prove it. The value of the car at the time of purchase was $4,000. The normal was $6,500 at that time. If I had kept the pos, I'd pay over $21,000 with interest and other fees included. This is fraud. I strongly feel like we're dealing with fraud in this situation, but unfortunately I cannot prove it by myself and no one will help me prove it.

Front bumper clip broken car stalls when driving up an incline at low speeds. Car pulls to the left when driving. Alignment was checked, but was fine according to a nissan dealer technician. The steering wheel seemed to momentarily lock when making a swift and sharp left turn.

Brand new lease, had vehicle 2 days. Driving home from work, thank god there was slight traffic congestion. Out of nowhere the car started to pull to the left, I could not gain control of vehicle. The car suddenly stopped harsh, as if I were stuck on something. Cars behind me has to slam breaks and swerve out of way. When tow truck came they said stabilizer bar was broken and this could have been a fatal accident had I been going faster. After many complaints and conversations nissan is forcing me to take the "repaired" car. I do not feel safe and should not have to take a car that was broken straight from the factory.

When pulling out of a parking space, going from park to reverse, a hard shift is heard and felt and then from reverse to drive, same thing....abnormal. There are hard shifts and reluctant shifts during drive time. Driving to an appointment, taxi in front pulled to left turn lane and almost changed the direction to come back to my lane. I applied brakes assertively (no skid) and taxi remained in turn lane so I continued by acceleration (not aggressively). The car sounded as though it was in neutral and then spun the tires. This was a normal maneuver and should not have had the spin result. The problem will be evaluated in the very near future by a reputable mechanic.

After the car has been driven awhile and warmed up, 30 mins or so. The steering wheel starts to jerk and the car pulls to the left. When this happens the car drives like it's on a flat tire, a kluck kluck kluck sound is coming from the front end, but the tires are not flat. I even replaced the old tires with new ones. The steering becomes very erratic. Ive taken it twice to a nissan dealer and a sears auto center, and was told everything was tight in the front end. No one seems to know what the problem is, because they can't get the car to recreate this condition. What would be the likely cause that would make this happen?
