BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE POWER STEERING WOULD MAKE A NOISE AND MOMENTARILY CATCH. THIS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT10 DAYS AND I TOOK IT TO MY CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL PANEL WAS MALFUNCTIONING. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ELECTRONIC COLUMN ASSEMBLY. I HAD IT TOED TO THE NISSAN DEALER. *TR
