Now Nissan is way down with just average for it's reliability, about 25 down the list. The only thing I can think is that different counties or even factories have different standards. -- Clive.

Some folks are like that, The very first time I had guacamole, it was at a fast food restaurant and it was awful. I decided guacamole HAD to taste better than that, so I dared to try it again, but at a different establishment, and it was excellent.

EPS is identical to hydraulic PS in that the steering linkage is identical between the two. Either way, you have a solid mechanical connection between steering wheel and road wheels. It is NOT possible for EPS to just "veer off" without movement of the steering wheel. -- Tegger
