Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the steering column became detached from the vehicle, fell into the contact's lap, and nearly caused a crash. The contact was able to pull over and stop the vehicle. One day prior to the failure, the steering wheel was able to be turned, the vehicle would start without the key in the ignition, the doors locked and unlocked without warning, and all of the interior lights would flash off and on.

Windshield fluid does not spray correctly as it should. It goes to the bottom of the windshield. At times I have to pull over and spray fluid ( yes...I have to carry a spray bottle with me) to ensure the windshield is clear on days that it is needed. On the other issue, steering lock after taking out the key doesnt work. Light bulb on shift stick doesnt work. Can't see the gear selection at night.

I have new nissan sentra 2013 sv with automatic CVT; purchased the car in september 2013 . My sentra just started making a intermittent loud whinning noise under the hood. I took the car the nissan dealership where I purchased the car. The mechanic said the loud whinning noise was from the electronic steering and it was normal. How can this be normal noise from a electronic steering? I never heard the load whinning noise until 22 march 2014. Noise can be heard inside and outside of car when this problem occurs. The car only has 71 miles on it and is garage kept. I surfed the web and found that some nissan altimas are also experiencing the loud intermittent whinning noise from the electronic steering. I filed a complaint with nissan consumer affairs case id# 14055152 about this problem. I believe that nissan is aware of this intermittent loud whinning noise from the electronic steering and is refusing to anything about it. I hoping that the federal safety agency will investigate this problem and force nissan to issue a recall with a permanent fix to the loud whinning noise from the electronic steering.
