Steering problem #2

Subject: vehicle safety complaint – 2020 Nissan Murano, VIN [xxx] dear NHTSA, I am submitting a formal vehicle safety complaint regarding my 2020 Nissan Murano (VIN: [xxx] ) due to unresolved safety defects that match existing recalls. I have been notified of two recall campaigns affecting my vehicle model: 1. Nhtsa campaign 21v402000 (steering knuckle/rear axle housing defect). 2. Nhtsa campaign 21v170000 (transverse link/ball joint defect). Despite these active recalls being published in NHTSA’s database, Nissan consumer affairs has denied that my VIN is included, even though my vehicle is exhibiting the exact safety defects described: [insert brief description of your issues, e. G. , steering instability, noises, or loss of control symptoms]. I have already provided Nissan with: - NHTSA campaign numbers - recall notifications received through the kelley blue book app - documentation of my safety concerns Nissan has failed to provide a resolution. I request that NHTSA investigate whether additional vins should be included in these recalls and ensure Nissan fulfills its obligations to correct these safety defects. I am prepared to supply copies of all recall notifications, correspondence with Nissan and, documentation of my vehicles defects upon request. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Steering problem #3

Slowly over time it is becoming harder to turn the wheel, making a loud clumping voice when I turn the wheel a certain direction.

Steering problem #4

This is a 2020 Nissan Murano s. The vehicle has been well maintained and taken to the dealership for maintenance periodically. I usually take my vehicle to either antwerpen Nissan clarksville or antwerpen Nissan security. I took my vehicle to antwerpen Nissan security for a transmission flush and change. Shortly after that service I started to notice an oil smell coming into the cabin. I took it back to them twice and they did not see any leakage or anything to cause the smell. I later took my car to antwerpen clarksville. They didn't notice the smell but said I needed to replace both front lower control arms for $1655. 88. Front lower control arms splitting, dry rotting. This car was purchased brand new and only had 62k miles. This appears to be premature wear and of course the warranty as passed, which would have been 5 years or 60,000 miles. Out of all the visits I had, no one seen this premature wear on the control arm until this visit. This doesn't happen overnight, and I think Nissan should cover this. My vehicle was seen at antwerpen Nissan at 56k and inspected and the dealer never mentioned this issue.
