My car's power steering stop working. According to nissan i need a new power steering column, price 1795.00 to labor and tax. They have a recall on the nissan sentra 2007 for this same reason but for some reason my car's vin is not one of the recalled ones. I think if my car has the same problem as the other cars it should be included in the recall. *js
