Power Steering went out! 19K miles !!!

shurik355 · 09-19-2015, 01:34 PM

Ok so yesterday Nissan Corp. called me and told me they are not covering anything for my Z. They won't assist me in anything. Im all on my own. The reason is simply it's past its time, no matter how many miles are on the car. Simply no sympathy to what happened to a dedicated Nissan owner, really it's sad to hear this from Nissan corp. even though I understand the warranty issue. But what I went through is irrelevant to them.

So I ordered the power steering Rack and Pinion, and Nissan dealership will do the labor of putting it on. No warranty on the repair cause Im providing my own part, which I found a better price then what they wanted. Their quote was $1300+ for the rack and pinion, and mine was $550. So I'll just go with it.

I've never heard of a steering rack failing this early... 19K miles, that seems a little ridiculous. Of course I can sort of understand with it being out of warranty but still, 5 year old car with 19K having a steering rack replaced?

I feel like this has to be the exception and not the rule. Sucks it happened to you, man.
