No matter what repairs I do the abs warning light will not go off. The breaking feels off. I leak power steering fluid and have had the pump checked. I constantly feel the steering tighten up and even randomly relax causing in unsafe steering conditions. Steering can tighten up and become loose again while in a parked position, a very slow moving speed and at freeway speeds.
The steering rack and pinion are defective and they start leaking in a very short period of time. My car started leaking power steering fluid while being stationary in a parking lot.
For the month of August 2011, my 2009 Nissan Murano has experienced four (4) steering wheel failures that could've resulted in serious bodily injury or death. Hawkinson Nissan replaced the serpentine belt at least twice in less than a two-week period in August of this year because it was shredded. Although the dealership had done multiple multi-point inspections this month, they reported that there was no evidence of any pending failure of the serpentine belt when they did the inspections. In addition, on August 8, 2011, the technician found a "pass side rack and pinion boot filling up with fluid from bad seal in power steering rack," according to the invoice. Nissan found a leak in the power steering high pressure line. Nissan repaired the problem by replacing the high pressure power line and power steering rack. They also bled the power steering fluid system and performed a front end alignment, according to the invoice. I do not think the 2009 Nissan Murano is safe to drive because I was nearly killed or badly injured multiple times. They need to recall the vehicle since they've attempted to correct issues with the steering wheel on multiple times with no avail. I'm afraid of them returning the vehicle to me since the mechanics obviously cannot fix the problem since it's most likely a defect that's causing the serpentine belt to constantly shred with no prior evidence of pending failure or wear and tear.
