I took my car to a local nissan dealership for an airbag recall on the driver side and after the recall was supposedly done because after this I'm not even positive they worked on my car for that recall. After the recall was done now the car horn in my steering wheel is not working when it was working before. The nissan advisor said that they can't fix it and the reason is because is an old car. They want me to pay almost 700 hundred dollars for them to fix what they ruined. Now I have no car horn. This is a safety hazard for anyone on the road. A car horn works to advice other drivers of any hazard. From this happening to me I now think that they didn't do anything in regards to airbag recalls and that I just took my car just for them to scam me so I can pay for a part that was working and that they ruined. The nissan I went too is naples nissan in naples, florida. I also have called nissan consumer affairs and they haven't done anything in this matter I have two claim numbers already I have called twice and there not doing anything about this matter.

The power steering light has come up 2 times within the last 2 weeks. Both times have been when the car is parked and I turn it on. The light comes up and the steering wheel locks. Both times I have turned off the vehicle and the problem goes away. If this ever happens while driving on the highway I will probably lose control of the vehicle and crash. The car only had 35105 miles on it.

On september 8, 2016, I was driving and all of a sudden the car's steering violently pulled to the right and when I tried to correct it, the car then turned all of the way to the left, causing the car to roll over several times. Although I had my seat belt on, the pre-tensioners didn't fire to keep me from moving around and hitting my head. None of the airbags went off either, not even the ones on the driver's side curtain where the car was damaged. Afterwards, I went to the doctor and a chiropractor because I hurt my back, neck and my head. I also got a lawyer because I had not done anything wrong while driving. The steering problem just came out of nowhere. Nissan, takata, tkh and my lawyer inspected the car in march and found that none of the air bags went off, the seat belt pre-tensioners didn't activate, the car's vehicle speed sensor had a fault code, the car's intake air temperature sensor had a fault code and nissan's engineer that was there was unable to access the power steering module with his machine. Next, we found out that the electronic power steering system can shut down due to excessive steering at slow speeds. That is bad because nissan had a technical service bulletin that said that the car can pull to one side even when aligned based on nissan's requirements. This means that the reason people have had steering problems is because of the car's design, nissan's alignment requirements and the car needing to be aligned differently. Also the intake air temperature sensor can cause a car to surge and sputter, this can be why people have had problems with acceleration. There is no reason why the seat belt pretensioners didn't protect me. I also believe that the speedometer recall may be due to the vehicle speed sensor problem. My car was totaled and these things need to be investigated.

Power steering light comes on and power steering is lost making it impossible to turn wheel. Has happened multiple times while starting the car and has happened twice while driving. Turning the car off and restarting seems to help, however while driving this isn't always possible.
