Nissan Murano Steering Safety Report | Sept 24, 2010
Reported on Sept 24, 2010
| TURNED ON MY CAR AND FOUND A LOUD RACKETING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. KEPT DRIVING CAR UNTIL MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME COMPLETELY LOCKED, LUCKILY I WAS NEAR A SEARS AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. DIAGNOSED IT AS A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING HOSE. THEY ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. AFTER 24 HOURS, THE STEERING FLUID THEY HAD ADDED HAD COMPLETELY LEAKED TO A PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR AND MY WHEEL WAS LOCKED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE EXACT SAME CAR AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2006 MURANO HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES, THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY WHEEL BECAME COMPLETELY LOCKED! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF! *TR | |
