Power steering fails in higher than 85 degree temperatures as well as below 25 degrees. Sometimes the warning light for it comes on when it fails and other times it does not. This problem comes and goes, not limited to just moving. I can shift into gear and have immediate difficulty or be driving along at any speed then suddenly the power steering is gone. I was advised by the ada, ok dealership that the 2015 nissan versa does not use power steering fluid and that the problem is the power steering computer.
2015 Nissan Versa steering complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan versa. While driving various speeds and making a left turn, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning indicator intermittently illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to ada nissan inc (420 lonnie abbott blvd, ada, ok 74820, phone number: (580) 332-2233) where it was diagnosed that the power steering pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 51,017.
A few weeks ago while I was driving my car shut off right in the middle of the street and was unable to steer, my children were in the car. I has gas in the car, the car never overheated and there were no warning lights on the car. This happened twice already with the first time being july 15, 2017.
Car has no stability on the road, it almost feels like im in a windstorm, and in a rainstorm if I hit standing water it will throw me into the other lane. It is worse on the freeway and will push me near the other lane.
Acceration of the car hesitates ; car jerks and have cut off while driving. Put higher octane of gas in car and still having same problem.
While driving on the freeway, my car all of a sudden stalled to the point where I could not steer, press on the gas or the brake. I had to turn my car completely off and back on in the middle of the freeway in order for the car to work again. This happened three times in a span of a mile before I was finally able to get over to the shoulder of the freeway. I felt unsafe in my vehicle due to the fact that I was on the freeway in traffic and could not move my own car.
The car's power steering stopped functioning, a ps indication on the dash was illuminated. The vehicle was very difficult to drive in this condition. This is the second time this has occurred.
When driving the car at speeds 40mph and above, the car does not stay in the lane. This car is continuously pulling to the left out of the lane towards cars in the middle lane, with no control to correct, then pushed to the right out of lane, back and forth my whole ride with no subsiding. The issue at times escalates by getting out of control while driving straight on any road, going back and forth left to right very fast and short by itself with the steering wheel centered. For this issue I'm needing to wait for the correction and slow down the car. The front tires are continuously getting thrown out of alignment as soon as I drive it following servicing. I have had 4 service appointments for alignments and balancing within a 2 week time frame, replaced tires, and brought to nissan directly for a diagnosis with no change to this safety issue. I do not believe the alignment is the root cause of this safety problem. In addition, when a car or any vehicle drives by my car on any road, more severe on the highway, my car is pushed across my lane and there is no windy conditions. This does occur on the highway and local streets. It is also apparently visible to other drivers as I see cars from behind me move to the middle lane, speed up and pass me in the far left of their lane, then cut me off. I do not believe again that this is a wheel issue, and I do not know what is the root cause of this is however what I do know is that it is not safe for myself or others on the road. I have an opened complaint with nissan consumer affairs and so far their response has been, go back to nissan for another alignment, to which I have had several already with no change to the root problem.
