What owners wrote
I am looking for any information regarding 2000 pathfinders lossing control of steering at any speed or conditions, or direction to find this information. I am not the owner of the SUV, I am a family member of a person that lost his life in a crash while driving a pathfinder. I am looking for a reason for this crash, autopys showed no medical reason for crash and he was in good health, driving conditions were clear and warm temp. Any help would be very helpful. Thank you for your time.
The steering column broke while my daughter was driving,making it impossible to steer the vehicle. She lost control of the vehicle. NHTSA lists my vehicle as being involved in a recall. But nissan says there is no recall for the vehicle. Please let me know if the NHTSA information is correct, and what I should with nissan's contention that there is no recall.
