We drove about 20 miles this past Saturday and parked the car. It was the 3rd time we had stopped and parked. We went into a house to potentially purchase and when returned we started the car and put it in reverse and it would not move. The screen read low power mode and would not move. The front passenger side wheel was turned to the far right and tilted. When putting it drive the wheel would straighten , but when putting in reverse it would do the same thing. Car was towed to the Nissan dealer and told the tie rod was broken.

Operating the vehicle with a loose subframe creates an imminent risk of component separation or sudden loss of steering control. The vehicle is fully intact and available for immediate inspection upon request.

My 2023 Nissan Ariya was making a cicada/whining sound under low acceleration. This was found by my local Nissan dealer to be a defect with the reduction gear. The dealership replaced the reduction gear under the powertrain warranty. This issue was present at just under 50,000 miles. Without replacement, the component could fail entirely leading to a total loss of power to the wheels, posing a safety risk while driving. There were no warning lamps on or any indication of a failing component other than the sound getting gradually louder. It took some research to figure out if the sound was normal or not. If I had not researched and inquired with my dealer, the problem would have gone unchecke
