6/17/17 completed 2014 Murano power steering hose clamp recall work. Nhtsa 17v-184. Noticed rattling noise from engine when turning the steering wheel left or right (stationary). 6/29/17 back to dealer, got back 7/3/17. Dealer reproduced and noted the issue on service record. Did the recall work for a 2nd time, but issue not fixed. Stated there is no fix, blames recall part (dealer says per Nissan techline), referred me to Nissan consumer affairs. 7/8/17-7/11/17 provided Nissan proof of ownership. They advised to go to another dealer. 7/13/17-7/14/17 another dealer. They claimed to not hear the noise and suggested I bring back a recording. Went back with noise recording in my garage. They confirmed noise in writing and advised me to go back to the original dealer. Also referred me back to Nissan. 7/16/17, 7/20/17 Nissan says trying to get in touch with both dealers. 7/24/17 Nissan informed me that the first one claims the noise is normal, the second one claims there is no noise. I informed Nissan both dealers confirmed noise in writing. I asked if the noise is normal (per the first dealer), why did they do the recall work a second time? and how can the second dealer claim there is no noise when I have it in writing? he asked me to send him the video recording and docs from both dealers. I e-mailed Nissan pdf scans as well as the video recording. 7/27/17-7/31/17 Nissan asked me to go to the first dealer. Dealer confirmed the noise on the recording. But now they claimed not hearing the noise and there is nothing further they can do. They avoided answering why they did recall work twice. 8/1/17 Nissan informed me there is nothing Nissan can do. Nissan confirmed the noise on the video and confirmed that both dealers acknowledged the noise. 8/12/17 the noise persists. I am concerned safety/recall issue is not properly fixed.

60 Steering problem of the 2007 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 03/16/2017

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.

65 Steering problem of the 2006 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 05/11/2015

Upon starting cold engine a loud tapping or rattling sound heard coming from front of car. Sound increases when accelerating until reaching 40 to 45 mph - then it almost disappears. Once engine is warm sound is barely noticeable. It also takes a lot of strength to turn the steering wheel left, when backing out of the driveway into the street, or when turning left into a driveway or a parking space. It feels like there is no power steering. Slight left turns are normal as are all right turns. Vehicle is going into dealer Tuesday which is their first opening. I will update this once it is determined what is causing the problem /problems.

This happened during parking, when the car was speeding up or slowing down (10 to 30 mph) and also on highway (up to 65 mph). Fortunately no accident happened but it is believed the car is not drivable under such condition.

69 Steering problem of the 2004 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 02/13/2015

I purchased vehicle 2/9/2015 since than I have taken to get 2 total vehicle inspections. Both inspections I have been given two different estimated problems. When at a complete stop and trying to take off vehicle will not go, after about 15 to 20 seconds it will take off at a rapid speed which scares me to the point where I am glad it doesn't happen on expressway I know me and my 8 yr old would be injured. I have been told it could be the transmission and/or the trans case both I have looked up and omg more complaints than any vehicle I have ever owned. Second issue is, when turning a corner left or right it hesitates like it doesn't want to go, I have been told its the trans case. If Nissan knows there are issues with the cvt why haven't they done a recall, especially before someone dies with the delayed hesitation. I just spent $6,000 on the vehicle because I was told go foreign you won't be unhappy, and here I am being told I need to spent another $6,000 to repair an issue thats has so many complaints.
