2009 Nissan Versa steering problems

“STIRRING IS MAKING A NOISE WHEN BACKING UP WHEN WHEELS ARE TURNING. WIPERS BLADES MAKES NOISE ON DRIVERS AND DOESN'T CLEAR VIEW ON PASSENGER SIDE. HAVING PROBLEMS FINDING REPLACEMENT PARTS. CD PLAYER HAS A READING ERRA, WANT PLAY AT ALL. TRIED CLEANER BUT STILL DOESN'T WORK.”

“I'LL HAVE 65, 700 MILES ON MY CAR IS AM A VERY SAFE DRIVER, DON'T SPEED AN TAKES CARE OF MY CAR. SO WHY AM I HEARING CLICKING NOISES IN THE STEERING COLUMN ? MY MECHANICAL C SAYS THE BILL WILL BE OVER $600. I AM 72 AN HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN ANY OF MY CARS IN MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING. I'LL HEAR CLICKING NOISES IN THE STEERING SHAFT WHEN IT TURN RIGHT.”

“VEHICLE EXPERIENCES KNOCKING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AT LOW SPEEDS/STATIONARY WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCKWISE AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE. THIS KNOCKING SYMPTOM IS AMPLIFIED WHEN VEHICLE TRAVELS OVER UNEVEN SURFACE AT ANY SPEED. WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHIFTS VIOLENTLY IN OPERATORS HANDS. ROTORS AND PADS AS WELL AS STRUT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. SYMPTOMS CONTINUED AFTER THESE REPLACEMENTS. TIE ROD ENDS AND SWING BARS WERE LATER REPLACED WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. THIS LEAVE THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. POSSIBLE DEFECT IN THE RACK AND PINION STEERING UNIT.”

“FRONT COIL SPRING SHATTERED TEARING UP FRONT TIRE THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS NOTED FOR VERSA IN RECALL 15V573000 DATE 09/14/2015. MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT APPEARS THAT THE RECALL WAS TO LIMITED. AFTER GETTING CAR REPAIRED NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR MY REPAIR COSTS STATING THE CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. LUCKILY I PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE SPRING EXPLODED. I THINK THE RECALL WAS TO LIMITED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED TO MY EXPENSES.”

“CONTINUES KNOCKING NOISE COMES OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVEN AT 40-50 MILES ALSO ON THE UNEVEN ROUGH ROADS. ALSO THE STERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKES.”
