Car is a 2015 and has 3000 miles on it. All Versa's seem to be wandering at highway speeds. Mfg. defect??
Have an inspection done on the steering and front end suspension
loose /worn ball joints steering end joints , wheel alignment and faulty tyres will give you this indication
The power steering pump does nothing more that provide pressure into the steering box/rack to assist with the steering
it may be that the steering is to sensitive at speed and most systems compensate by having less power assist at speed
take it to a steering specialist accredited shop as the control valves may need replacing or adjusting
Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. It is much more involved than obvious."
if you feel that it is a design problem then have your service dealer lodge a complaint with al the details to the engineering department
Failing that ,contact your road authority and lodge a vehicle handling complaint with them to see if they can do anything
find your self a really good accredited wheel alignment shop and have the steering geometry varied from the factory settings as wandering steering can be fro the settings at all zeros where some castor angle (11/2 degree) and a bit of toe in may stop the fault.
Thanks Bill. Now we might be on to something. I did contact the dealer and it was useless. I never heard of the road authority . I will track them down. Thanks again.
dealers are prevented by the manufacturer to alter settings outside the engineers specifications and that is why I suggested a good accredited wheel aligner as they may have encountered this problem and have an unauthorised fix. I would also be taking this problem up with the engineers in the manufacturers shop by going on line to google and finding their contact us section and e-mailing the engineers. It is possible that there is already a solution but the dealer is reluctant to fix it . The manufacturer will not do anything until enough customers make complaints.
