Problem overview

Some Nissan Versa owners report experiencing power steering failure, indicated by the activation of dashboard lights while at a traffic light, which suggests a fault in the electronic power steering system. These owners have noted that the appearance of the "PS" light may point to a blown power steering fuse, a common malfunction. Additionally, issues with the electronic power steering or the steering wheel lock solenoid could contribute to these problems. Many owners emphasize the importance of having the power steering system checked by experts to effectively diagnose and resolve the issue. Some have reported unusual resistance or peculiar sensations when steering, which could signify underlying problems within the power steering system. If power steering failure recurs, it is crucial for owners to address the root cause to prevent further safety risks on the road. Given the potential safety implications, seeking professional assistance promptly is advisable to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle.
