On 2/23/14, I notice there was what appeared to be oil leaking from my truck. I took it to the dealer on 2/26/14, it was the it was the pressure holes leaking which have caused other problems. Rack and pinion (R) side, replace fuel sender two parts. September of 2013, I had to have both right and left control arm repair. This should be a recall and the customer should not have the responsibility of expense.

The vehicle was not driving well and the fuel sensor was not working properly. We took the vehicle to an independent repair shop. The lower control arms were replaced at that time, however the fuel sensor was not as it was an additional expense we could not pay for out of pocket. These are both known problems to Nissan and have already been recalled on other SUV's of the same model year. In speaking to Nissan there is nothing they are willing to do to ensure the safety of the vehicle or to reimburse us for the repair already made.

I was driving on the freeway when I suddenly noticed my steering wheel was upside down. Luckily, I could still steer and I immediately took it to the dealer where I had purchased the car and an extended warranty. I had not been involved in any kind of accident, but in trying to figure out what happened I thought I might have gone over a curb while turning right and it may have jarred something. The dealer latched onto this thought and said I broke the steering column when I went over the curb. They would not cover the repair, despite the extended warranty. I just don't believe it. How could going up on a curb and dropping down--from a stop--break the steering column" the dealer said I need to "replace the steering rack and replace the cable reel." My insurance paid another company for repairs and they replaced the "gear assembly." Since I don't know what any of this means, I am writing the invoice's direct quotes. I really believe there is/was a defect in the car. Has anyone else had this problem"

When I turned my engine off, got out the truck and locked the doors the vehicle turned back on without me being in the truck or putting the key in the ignition. I do not have an auto starter. This happened on three different occasions. The first time we didn't even recognize it happened and it drained the battery, the second time we thought we were hallucinating and the last incident on Monday, July 15, 2013, it was 8:30 am and I was exiting the vehicle to go in to my place of employment when the vehicle turned back on. I instantly thought I locked the keys in the truck when I noticed they were in my hands. I unlocked the doors tried turning it off three times and finally on the fourth try it stayed off and didn't turn back on. I felt bad because I thought my daughter was trying to scare me about the car starting on its own. There's also an issue with the car pulling to the right all by itself.

Power steering fluid leak - hard to turn steering, loud noise from steering pump because no fluid present - looks like power steering hose leak - did some research online and it is very common in Murano 2003-2007 - obviously Nissan wont recall it even when you have whole forums online and hundreds of people complaining about same thing.

Murano

  • 100,000 miles
The contact owned a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving approximately 20 mph the steering wheel locked. The driver was unable to turn the steering wheel and crashed into an electrical pole. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. A passenger in the front seat sustained a back and neck sprain as well as severe pain to her entire body. The vehicle was towed an auto body shop. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

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.

Bought used Murano about 6mths ago- dealer has carfax said no problems-power steering hose began to leak after about two weeks-thought it was just airconditioner-kept leaking more and staining driveway-took to mechanic they said it was powering steering hydraulic hose-could cause hose blow-out or fire $$$$$to repair. Is there a recall.

Steering became difficult and car was making loud noise. I had no steering fluid left at all. Mechanic says there is a leak somewhere and it could be the steering gear/rack that could cost up to $1,700 to repair.and that this is a common problem with the 2007 Nissan Murano. There should be a recall!

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 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.

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.

Murano 6-cyl

  • 31,400 miles
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 maintenance, 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.

Murano 6-cyl

  • 74,000 miles
At any rate of driving the wheels begin to shake and the car rattles. Turning and steering became very difficult. The car was taken to a mechanic and he indicated 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 consistently and I am terrified of driving the car. This is a common problem with the Murano.

Murano

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard a rattling sound. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics, where the mechanic stated that the power steering fluid was low. A few days after the power steering fluid was added, the rattling sound continued and the power steering fluid was low again. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostics, where the technician stated the power steering high pressure hose was leaking power steering fluid and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a complaint was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

Murano

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano that has a little over 37,000. The vehicle was parked and when we came out there was a puddle of oil. It was the steering fluid that was leaking. We just passe the 36,000 warranty and therefore Nissan will not cover it. We were told this would cost no less than $500. Vehicle had no other issues or warning signs. Steering liquid pump was almost empty.
