Filed Sep 11, 2026 · Brakes, Steering · IL · crash

I was turning into a parking spot at a store when I tried to break the vehicle accelerated, then was forced into the wall and the vehicle, then went backwards, losing control, and continue to accelerate. The only way I was able to stop. The car is to put it and park and shut the engine off after hitting another vehicle behind me. I could not get out of the vehicle as the door was jammed when I got out of the vehicle it looks as if the steering column shaft came out of its place. It was exposed and stuck below the brake and gas pedals

Since I purchased the vehicle, I turn my steering wheel all the way to the left. It makes this clicking sound, and I can feel the clicking under me like it’s coming from the driver side and I have a maintenance notification on my dashboard fan. The clicking noise has gotten worse and made me do my own research on the problem. The tire needs maintenance, but there’s no flat so something told me to google exactly what was the problem was and I got a message on Google stating that there are many recalls on this particular car about a CV joint on the axle. I know that this is the problem because everything that was said online from people that had the car previously it’s the exact problem that I have. I need this inspected immediately.

In December 2025, the vehicle was towed to the dealer after it shut off and would not restart. No warning lights displayed, no low fuel light displayed either. Dealer attributed stall to low fuel (fuel range showed 30 miles remaining), found no diagnostic codes, attributed it to low fuel, added gas, and released the vehicle and charged a DX fee. In February 2026 (approximately two months later), the vehicle lost power again while being driven and was rear-ended while disabled. Post-collision dash photos show approximately half a tank of fuel and malfunction indicators illuminated. The dealership had notice of a shutdown event and failed to properly diagnose or investigate before returning the vehicle as safe in December. My daughter was injured as a result of the rear end accident. The vehicle was a total loss.

Vehicle has front axle clicking sounds when turning right or left. It also makes clicking sounds when driving over bumps or entering driveways(uneven concrete surfaces). I brought it to a Nissan Dealership several times and they acknowledged the issue. However, they have not been able to resolve the issue.

To the best of my knowledg The front LH drive shaft came off the transaxle case leaving me no power of steering or breaking forcing me into the center divider. if this happened on a freeway driving speed limit or a busy street the accident would be fatal. Problem has been confirmed by Nissan themselves the year and make of my car has been recalled for this issue. A few days prior I did smell oil burning and was going to the issue looked at at the dealership unfortunately this accident or malfunction happened. There was no police report but the police did show up to make sure I was okay and they called the tow company affiliated with the department so I believe there's some record of it but no actual police report was made because I didn't feel that it was needed because no one was involved other than myself.

As I was straightening my steering wheel, from a left turn into my driveway, I heard, about half a dozen, very loud, banging noises, coming from the front of my vehicle. This was so loud, that I heard it over the noise of my audio, playing fairly loud, to begin with. This, coupled, with previous experience, and the ride on this vehicle becoming incredibly rough, leads me to believe that the ball joints are froze up. This car is less than two months old, with 2,700 miles on it. The noise out of the front, has happened before, and I went to the dealer in Denison, TX, about it, a couple of weeks ago. There was also a very strong smell of, like burning rubber, but that seemed to stop, by hitting the switch, every time, after starting the engine, to turn off the auto stop / start. These cars should not be on the road!
