Power Steering Failed Problems of Nissan Murano

While driving with family on a residential road, the power steering failed and steering wheel became extremely stiff. I quickly checked dashboard indicators and everything look okay and engine was still running. I pulled into gas station, popped hood and noticed steering fluid was very low. I buy a bottle at the gas station, put a little in the reservoir and moved around the gas station lot. Steering felt nominally better. I checked the steering fluid and reservoir was low again. I then called a few Nissan dealers and found one that could look at it the very next day. I put more fluid in and had a relative follow me to drop it off. This specific vehicle had a recall NHTSA campaign 17v184000 in 2017 for the power steering high pressure hose and the vehicle was repaired according to the recall back then. I was concerned that may be a issue. However, the issue here was the power steering return hose had a plastic clip that failed. The failure caused that hose to rub against the drive shaft which caused a hole to be worn through the hose and causing the failure. All of this is stated in the attach repair order from the dealer. This is a huge safety risk and I want to ensure this type of failure doesn't occur to other drivers.

Purchased 2013 Murano platinum in April 2014 with 25k miles on it. Within a few months, I had it to the dealer with a steering rack problem because the power steering had failed. After fixed, I didn't have another issue with steering until Sep 2017 in which I couldn't turn the steering wheel at all. It had locked up while I was traveling from work to home on a Sunday morning. Car went into dealer for nearly 2 weeks at lake manawa Nissan with them trying to install oem parts that were failing. I have a extended warranty (halo) and spent $150 deductible to get it back. Yesterday, 12/28/17, with the car having 65k miles, I was going 50-55mph around a 40-45 degree turn on the interstate, I lost the steering again. I'm a strong 50-year old woman. It was extremely difficult to get the steering wheel to move at all. Had got the car mostly off the road in left lane, with many semi trucks behind me, I'm lucky to be alive. Made it to the right lane and then the steering was good for about ten minutes then started acting up again. Drove to dealer and left it for the night. I picked it up a few hours ago. Since it's snowing here, I let my daughter use it and she's already called me stating the power steering is still not right. I'll be returning to the dealer tomorrow morning 12/30/17. I'm a repeat customer of the datsun / Nissan brand since 1982 and I don't believe my loyalty is being rewarded. I believe this problem will inevitably lead to a crash with injuries, if not a fatality.

I experienced intermittent power system failures shortly after purchasing a new 2016 Murano on 12/28/16. I first noticed the problem on 1/4/17 when I was making a right turn onto a two-way road. The power system failed immediately after entering the turn and the steering wheel began to pull hard against the direction of the turn. This caused my vehicle to overshoot the turn and I was driving in the lane of opposing traffic pulling hard on the wheel to recover. Then suddenly the power returned and my vehicle veered hard to the right in the original direction of the turn. There was no oncoming traffic so I was able to avoid an accident. The second occurrence was on 1/5/17 when I was backing the vehicle out of a parking space. There was absolutely no power steering so the vehicle did not turn as expected into the traffic lane. I returned the vehicle to the original parking space and shut off the engine. Restarting the engine caused the power steering to function correctly again. The third occurrence was on 1/6/17 while driving the vehicle to a Nissan dealer for repair. Again the power steering failed momentarily while making a right turn. I was driving slower than usual and I was prepared to adjust my force on the wheel because I was aware of the problem. The Nissan service department diagnosed the problem and found that the connector e62 terminal 5 wire was out of position (see attached service report). So the problem was basically caused by a manufacturing defect. I was very fortunate to have avoided an accident with this vehicle.

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.

Power steering line developed a leak and had to be replaced. Found numerous complaints about same condition online. Nissan was no help. If not noticed, power steering would have failed.

1. Normal driving of Nissan Murano approximately 65,000 miles. 2. High pressure hose on power steering system failed. Leakdown rate provided some warning due to noise but failure can cause a sudden dangerous loss of steering capability. 3. Because Nissan has so many of these particular failures, no oem hoses are available at this date. Many dealerships are awaiting replacement hoses for customers.
