Nissan Qashqai's Steering Wheel Comes Off in Driver’s Hands in Finland [w/Video]



Kari Alentola is a camera operator working for the Yle TV station in Helsinki, Finland. Last Thursday, he was driving a Qashqai+2, the LWB, seven-seat version of Nissan’s compact SUV on the way to an assignment when the steering wheel simply…dropped off in his hands!

The car was barely run-in, with only 500 km (310 miles) on the odometer when this potentially dangerous incident occurred. Luckily, the car was stationary when it happened.

"While stopped at the traffic light in front of the Parliament building, I was adjusting my position in my seat lightly and took hold of the steering wheel for support. Suddenly, it fell into my lap and was just hanging by some wires", Alentola told Yle TV.
