The PS warning light has been coming on intermittently. The power steering goes out and the vehicle is hard to steer. My safety and others are put at risk if I lose power steering. We have done research online and plan to take it to a dealership to confirm the exact issue. The PS warning light has come on a few times over the last several months and the power steering comes and goes.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When you press on the accelerator and gain speed the car abruptly jerks to the right. I believe it’s caused by a defect of the traction control system.
the power steering system in my Nissan Versa has put me at risk it must be repaired because it is part of the recall car affected
When driving on highway at about 60 MPH car feels very out of control like if its on roller skates, feels like car is going to sway this way or that way. Very unsafe feeling. Very scary.
While driving in the freeway this morning I heard a click and then the "ps", power steering, light turned on. The car was driving in a straight line when this occured. When exiting the freeway it was clear that the electric power steering had turned off. When I got to work unattached my bluetooth obd-ii reader to check the codes. The reader showed zero codes recorded. I left the reader installed. When I started the car to go to lunch the "ps" light was off again and power steering was functioning. When pulling into a parking lot for lunch the power steering suddenly cut out and the "ps" light turned back on. My obd-ii reader reported no codes. Upon starting the car again the "ps" light was once again off and the power steering worked again. The power steering worked during the drive home and the "ps" light stayed off.
It started off with the 'ps' light turning on and the power steering completely turning off. This car has an electric power steering and I am glad I was in a parking lot. Googling the problem you get many stories of the power steering failing on this model. It stopped working all together.
Power steering light comes on and power steering is lost making it hard to turn wheel. This has happened while turning the wheel all the way with the vehicle in motion luckily at low speed. It has been on the shop and they said everything looked fine. It has happened 3 times in the last two weeks. After shutting the engine off and restarting, control is gained again.
Steering wheel came off the car. *dt
While driving during the day (it was over 95 degrees), all of sudden all the warning lights came on, the brake pedal locked up, the gas pedal didn't work, and the power steering wasn't working. I was able to pull it over. I turned it off and on twice, and everything was working fine. I'm taking it to the dealer to be checked out (the next day).
The power steering on my car stopped working out of no where while driving on the highway. I couldn't turn and almost crashed while going around a bend. Brought it to a nissan dealer and they told me the entire steering column needs to be replaced for $5,390. On a 2015 nissan. Less than 50,000 miles and less than 3 years old.
