2007 nissan sentra. Consumer writes in regards to lose of steering power while driving. *ld the consumer stated after inspecting the vehicle the tire was turned all the way to the left even though the steering wheel was straight. The inner tie rod had broken.
Transmission; I have had to change the CVT transmission on my nissan sentra twice in the space of a year. Before the last change I suffered a transmission leak that entailed me adding fluid when a whining noise starts. Steering; power steering is hard and does not move with ease unlike other cars I have driven. Speedometer; speed is inaccurate. I got speeding tickets because my speedometer did not accurately depict my speed. It was wrong and off by ~5 MPH when speed started to exceed 20mph
Right suspension makes scraping and knocking sound. When driving,
While going on up and down steep hills in a city all of a sudden the engine stalls and the breaks stop working. This happened to me several times and to my luck as there was no traffic I got escaped without any accidents. Both the times I stopped the vehicle by shifting it to the parking mode. Some times the steering also automatically shifts to manual mode and the steering becomes tight. So the issues are with both the brakes and steering and this could be a computer/communication glitch which is not communicating with the brakes properly. When I stop the vehicle and restarts after sometime again brakes works normally and everything works fine. But after some days this issue repeats. Right now I am taking the vehicle to the nearby dealer to get more information on the vehicle condition. Once I get a clear explanation of the vehicle condition I will add more information to this complaint. Right now the mileage on the vehicle is 105000. I think there are some recalls on this vehicle and I am not sure if they have recall on this particular case.
During a uturn the steering wheel locked and was unable to continue. Auto needed to be towed back to the dealership. Was given an estimate for $2500 to replace the entire steering column.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan sentra. The contact stated that when the brakes were engaged, the vehicle would veer to the left and an unknown noise would emit from the front of the vehicle.

My car's power steering stop working. According to nissan I need a new power steering column, price 1795.00 to labor and tax. They have a recall on the nissan sentra 2007 for this same reason but for some reason my car's VIN is not one of the recalled ones. I think if my car has the same problem as the other cars it should be included in the recall.
