Red face all power steering went out!!!

soo i was driving around tonight and all of the sudden my break light and battery light come on.. and i loose all control to the car. i was only going about 30 or 40 but it was impossible to steer... soo after disconnecting the battery and many other trys i noticed that the belts on the front end of the motor are are missing and were hanging on the floor torn to shreds... soo basically its really hard to drive and steering is a btchh.. my car is an 03 with about 38k miles... kinda sux but wtv im going to hopefully get it fixed tom..

should i take it to nissan or something like jiffylube? i remember them warning me about it once before..

So they warned you about the belts? Most likely worn and needing replacement. Poor Z.

Buy the belts from Nissan and put them on yourself, its a piece of cake, and there is a DIY on here somewhere.
