| Murano began leaking from the power steering hose. felt like i was driving a 18-wheeler. impossible to turn. made a loud screeching noise. complained to nissan. they initially promised to repair the hose but then backed down and (are you ready for this) offered to sell me a new nissan at dealer cost. i'm the 2nd owner and the car was initially purchased in 2006. this is a deadly problem and a factory defect. nissan has chosen to ignore it and most probably finds it less expensive to litigate any deaths as a result of the power steering hose failure rather than recall the murano. *tr | |||

| I noticed power steering fluid on the concrete under my vehicle. a mechanic told me my hose was leaking and i found out it cost about $500.00 to fix. i checked with nissan dealer to see if there was a recall. he told me no. there should be a recall on this problem because it is dangerous. the fluid is all underneath my vehicle. the fluid could ignite by hitting the exhaust pipe or anything hot. *tr | |||

| Noticed fluids on garage floor under my nissan murano. upon checking fluid levels it was determined to be power steering fluid levels that were low. further investigation indicated that the power steering hose was leaking. this has seemed to be a problem with the nissan fleet as a whole, but as of yet no recalls have been initiated. this is a dangerous situation to be in because of the possible accidents that low fluid level poses and the possibility of initiating a fire. *tr | |||

| A leak developed and progressively got worse. it was determined it was power steering fluid. i put the car on the lift and it looked to be coming from one of the hoses. after reading these previous complaints, i figured it probably was the high pressure hose. indeed it was, the repair cost being $500. i contacted nissan consumer affairs and filed a complaint. i don't expect any compensation, as they told me it would be based on how much service i had done previously at the dealer. i do my own maintainence, oil changes (i only use mobil1), so it would be based on whatever previous problems i had that i took it to the dealer to resolve. this car has only 31400 miles on it, and just went out of warranty. | |||

| At any rate of drivig the wheels begin to shake and the car rattles. turning and steering became very difficult. the car was taken to a mnechanic and he indicated the the power steering fluid was low and thus added fluid. several weeks later it happened again and fluid was added again and the mechanic stated the power steering high pressure hose was leaking power steering fluid and needed to be replaced. approximate mileage 74,000. fluid has to be replaced consistantly and i am terrified of driving the car. this is a common problem with the murano. | |||
