Steering - feels like I'm about to lose control!!
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 8:30 am
2010 Pathfinder
33K miles
Stock - no lifts, or after market extras
Tires only have 12K miles on them.
When we are driving down the road going any faster than, say 35mph, and hit a bump (regardless of size), this darn thing literally feels like the steering wheel is about to jump out of my hands and control of the vehicle is in jeopardy. The car actually jumps left or right.
Its to the point to where I dont feel safe driving this truck on the highway. I am now one of those people who slow down...WAY DOWN...when going around a curve on the interstate.
Any idea what this could be?
With basic car maintenance (oil change, plug change, tires, filters, etc...) I am OK. When it comes to things like this I am completely clueless.
I want to have some things in mind when I take it to my mechanic.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
