Power steering high pressure hose and pump leakage. there has been numerous complaints for the 2006 and 2007 models. there is leakage and rubbing noise when turning the steering.

I was riding on the highway and almost got hit a couple of times. my car just stalled an shut down. it is a hazard cause myself and my kids could have gotten killed. i have a new serpentine belt , battery is good an alternator is good. my car was driving then all of a sudden it just stalled.

Takata recall multiple times the car while in motion wants to cut off or won't drive. i was driving and it wasn't wanting to drive. i pulled into a parking lot to my right. then as i entered the parking lot the car turned off completely by itself and i couldn't use my breaks or steering wheel. i ended up running it into a curb to be able to come to a complete stop. i have read that there is a recall on 2005-2007 nissan. i looked up my vin number to see if there was a recall and it says there was not a recall on my vechile but other nissan owners have been having the same problem. i have a baby and don't need my nissan shutting off and causing an accident while i have my baby in the car.

The left front lower ball joint is ready to fall out as well as the rear crossmember frame is broken in half on the right side.

I brought my car to reed nissan to be diagnosed because the check engine light was on. they diagnosed the car and said that a few things needed fixing and when fix the light will be gone. i paid to fix the car and when i was driving home the check egine light came back. i called back and spoke to my servuce advisor who told me to bring back the car to be re diagnosed. the finding was another problem that apparently didnt show up because of how long the car took to be fix. i agree to replaced what they quote me the price for but instead i got the opposite. they replaced what they wanted to and disnt replace everything they agreed to replace but i still had tonpay all the money that was agreed on eventhough i didnt get all the work done that was suppose to be done. today my car radiator blew and they say they are not responsible for it a week aftwr i fix my car with them. there was also a crack in my engine cover and a screw missing to keep it tight. my radiator cover screws were also missing. i apod my money and didnt get the job that they told me i was supposed to get. whrn i spoke to the manager they give me all these stories and were not taking any blames for anything. the tech who worked on my car said he didnt broke my engine cover and that the screw was missing so he left it the same way. as a technician you work on someone car engine and did not replace the screw and broke my cover and lied about it and of course nissan backs him eventhough he was wring and was lying. the manager walked away without even saying a word to us about what was going to be the outcome and when i approach him about this matter he pretend as if he wasnt being rude by saying he saw we were already being taken care of my the tech and service manager so he excused himself. this is how they operate at reed nissan. they are reed nissan on west colonial drive in orlando florida. nasty.

Power steeling hose leaking - looks that it bursted

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. while driving various speeds, the steering wheel made an abnormal squeaking noise. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering hose had an internal leak and the power steering sensor failed and would need to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 84,000.

Power steering fluid leak. have to replace fluid every week. if fluid runs out while driving, will loose control of auto and crash. took auto to clay nissan of newton and they could not find the leak, yet each week i have to top up the steering fluid. this started on 06/01/2015 and i top up each week.

The horn of my vehicle was not working i take it to the dealer for and idea they told to call nissan of north america at( 888 nissan 1)

I was driving down hwy 100 in milwaukee at approximately 40 mph when the car suddenly died in the middle of the road, fortunately no accident was caused because of the sudden stop. the car would not start after this stop. i pushed the car into a nearby parking lot and took the battery into a local hardware store. the battery was dead and needed to be charged. i re installed the battery and got the car started (the engine sounded loud) and drove to the auto store and had the alternator tested - it was dead. i started to drive the car home and it would not go above 30 mph and the cel was on. the next morning i had the alternator replaced (sunday), the battery kept it's charge. i took the vehicle to the nissan dealer on monday morning - they determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. i got my car back after 2 weeks and drove it home. i did notice that the there was a slight whine - i thought it was with the replaced transmission. i got louder each dayand i took it back to the nissan dealer, but the noise would quit after it warmed up. the nissan dealer determined that it was the high pressure power steering hose. these events appeared to be caused by a previous event - (1) alternator (2) transmission (3) high pressure power steering hose, all started november 27 2014, and lastly ended on february 10, 2015, hopefully. *tr

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. *tr

Power steering line split, spraying oil over engine, drivetrain and accessories. *tr

Realized power steering hose (pump) is leaking fluid, despite having very low mileage. this is a hazard as it could ignite and/or cause driver to lose control of the vehicle. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

Vehicle power steering fluid leaking from high pressure hose ,causing loosing of steering and smoke coming out from under the car. *tr

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. *tr

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? *tr

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. *tr

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! *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

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

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. *tr

Tl* 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.

Tl* 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.

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. *tr

Steering fluid leaking. i refill the fluid every week. looking online, this is a common problem with the 2007 nissan murano. there should be a recall! *tr

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 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. *tr
