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.

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.

While I’m driving the car it starts swaying or jerking to the right sometimes to the left. Mostly when I press the gas to go faster. It’s very scary and I’m afraid it will run me in a ditch or into another vehicle.

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.

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.

When driving the electric power steering began to malfunction in short periods of driving, making it very hard to drive safely. Until a few weeks later the whole unit stopped working and the power steering light came on. This made it hard to steer in high and low speeds.

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.

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.
