I just bought a used 2016 leaf with less than 29,000 miles, when I test drove it I thought I heard a little bit of plastic on plastic noise from the steering column, but stupidly didn’t take it out a long stretch on the highway. Now I’m discovering how horrible it feels to drive. It’s like it clicks when you’re going straight. As you adjust your position in the lane each movement of the steering wheel is like in small increments and sometimes there is a noticeable resistance. You can feel a little click to the left and actually hear a sound like plastic on plastic and then a little click to the right as you adjust again in the same clicking sound again.
It’s not so noticeable when you drive in town and are turning every couple blocks or on a curved road, but on a straight away, you can’t just drive with one hand, gently steering, you are fighting the resistance that wants to keep the car going straight.
I tried to contact the Nissan dealer, here on Maui, but they’re not taking any appointments until January 6 .
