The pressure power steering hose develops a terrible leak. Cost me 1/2 bottle of fluid nearly every day! The problem is that the hose is "buried" behind the engine and a royal PITA to replace. A replacement hose is less than $100 but it takes multiple hours of pain and frustration to replace. This type of poor workmanship is totally unacceptable! The fact that it's so difficult to fix a KNOWN problem is unconscionable. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of consumers.
For this reason alone I will likely NEVER purchase another Nissan product. Now, not only did it take me forever to repair this item, my driveway is a friggin eyesore. Power steering fluid is a very caustic product and does NOT clean up. I’m sorely disappointed.
