    ""The front end steering including bearings and ball joints first appeared in 2021, then again in 2023 just after the warranty expired. The Nissan dealer and Nissan refused to fix it under warranty and quoted us $ 2700.00 to repair. We took it to a private garage who did the fix for $900.00. We are not happy with Nissan!!""
