Nissan recalling more than 236,000 cars to fix a problem that can cause loss of steering control
Nissan is recalling more than 236,000 small cars in the U.S. because the tie rods in front suspension can bend and break, possibly causing drivers to lose steering control.
Unpopular opinion, but i think steering is really important while driving.
NTA your steering wheel your rules
You are so brave to speak truth to power.
Big, if true.
I used to design steering columns, and it's really not as important as you think. In the event of an issue, the car will eventually come to a stop regardless of steering performance.
As someone using Tesla autopilot constantly, I agree.
The recall covers certain Sentra compact cars from the 2020 through 2022 model years.
Tie rods breaking. Yikes.
I had a tie rod break on my old beloved Civic. I was stopped though, had just finished refueling. Turned the wheel to move away from the pump and… KACHUNK!
Tried moving it into a parking space and no dice. It would kiiiiiinda steer. Got out, looked at the passenger-side front tire, turned to the left. checked out the driver’s-side tire… turned to the right.
“I don’t think it’s usually supposed to be like that,” I tell my friend.
How Dorman of them
How very Nissan of them. For a company that’s been building cars for about half a century, you’d think they’d have figured out the simple shit by now.
Cars don't look, work etc. the way they did 50 years ago. It is a constantly changing, massive chain of things that have to happen to bring a car on the road. Any point of that line can cause issues somewhere down the line. Instead of sweeping it under the rug, like US manufacturers, they recall. That is a good thing.
