Vehicle lost control exiting a right hand curve of a county road. The vehicles speed at the time of the crash is estimated at approximately 55-65 MPH. A post-crash mechanical inspection of the vehicle was completed. The inspection revealed the splines on the steering wheel and the steering shaft had been damaged. This damage was consistent in appearance with the wheel being placed on the shaft and pressed via the steering wheel nut when the splines were out of alignment. The steering wheel nut was able to be spun with one finger during the inspection. Both findings were not consistent with the expected crash damage given the crash sequence. An airbag recall had been fulfilled on the vehicle in october 2019 in which the steering wheel was removed. The recall was fulfilled by a nissan dealership in greeley, co.*dt*dt *js *js*dt*jb*dt*dt*as*dt*tr*dt the consumer provided photos. *tr*dt*jb

The steering wheel suddenly started turning all the way to the left on its own while I was driving straight about 50mph on the highway. The steering wheel locked in this position and was impossible to turn back to a neutral position. The car veered all the way to the right, causing me to spin several times before hitting the concrete barrier. The airbags did not deploy after hitting the concrete barrier. We always took my car for all necessary recalls, the last of which was on 6/12/2018 for airbags.

Spring broke unexpectedly, while driving at a low velocity. It's hard to believe that a spring can break as it did. The vehicle has low miles, and the mechanic couldn't bekieve it himself. Mechanic informed me that he has repaired two other vehicles, same make and year with the same exact issue, and the same exact side. My estimate for the repairs is $1,500. If nissan is aware of the issue, and has done nothing about it, they should be ashamed of theirselves. This is a safety hazard that can lead to injury or even fatalities. I have been buying nissan vehicles for almost twenty years, but this has made me lose confidence in the company.
