I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. IN DECEMBER OF 2010 I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR WAS AS LOW, AND REFILLED IT. THREE DAYS LATER A NOTICED A LEAK UNDER THE CAR WHERE I PARKED, AND THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY AGAIN. SINCE THEN I HAVE FOUND OUT THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE POWER STEERING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS ONLY 52,000 MILES ON IT. I DID SOME INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR NISSAN.

IN MAY 2009, I PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN MURANO FROM CARMAX, I CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR ANY LEAK SIGNS AND NONE WERE NOTICE,THE VEHICLE HAD 27000 MILES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING FROM ORLANDO FLORIDA, WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, I NOTICE A NOISE AND A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, I PULLED OVER, OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICE THAT THE STEERING FLUID WAS ALMOST GONE, I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID AND MADE IT HOME,AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB I NOTICE THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS,AFTER THAT I VISITED A NISSAN DEALER, AND MY SURPRISE WAS THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW THE PART NUMBER FOR THIS ISSUE,AND ASKED THE DESK PERSONEL ABOUT IT, AND THEY SAID THAT SO MANY PEOPLE LOOKED FOR THE SAME PART SO MANY TIME THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW IT BY HEART. IT COST ME ALMOST 500 DOLLAR TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIR AT THE DEALER.THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM,IT IS DEFECTIVE FROM DAY ONE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 76,000 MILES ON IT. POWER STEERING LEAKAGE IDENTIFIED BY STAIN ON DRIVEWAY, AS WELL AS NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DEALER DETERMINED THAT CAUSE OF THE LEAK IS A FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. DEALER CHARGED $750 TO INSTALL A NEW HOSE. THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOSE ON ANY CAR. CONCERN IS THAT TOTAL FAILURE CAN CAUSE A SURPRISE LOSS OF STEERING RESULTING IN A CRASH. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 66,000 MILES ON IT. POWER STEERING LEAKAGE IDENTIFIED BY STAIN ON DRIVEWAY, AS WELL AS NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITH LOW FLUID, STEERING IS SLUGGISH AT ALL SPEEDS. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT CAUSE OF THE LEAK IS A FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. CURRENT REMEDY IS TO ADD ROUGHLY A HALF PINT OF POWER STEERING FLUID EVERY FEW DAYS, AND AVOIDING DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THIS PART ARE DOCUMENTED ON WEB FORUMS, NHTSA SITE, AS WELL AS BEING COMMON KNOWLEDGE AMONG THE MECHANICS NETWORK. CONCERN IS THAT TOTAL FAILURE CAN CAUSE A SURPRISE LOSS OF STEERING RESULTING IN A CRASH. *TR

TURNED ON MY CAR AND FOUND A LOUD RACKETING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. KEPT DRIVING CAR UNTIL MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME COMPLETELY LOCKED, LUCKILY I WAS NEAR A SEARS AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. DIAGNOSED IT AS A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING HOSE. THEY ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. AFTER 24 HOURS, THE STEERING FLUID THEY HAD ADDED HAD COMPLETELY LEAKED TO A PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR AND MY WHEEL WAS LOCKED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE EXACT SAME CAR AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2006 MURANO HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES, THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY WHEEL BECAME COMPLETELY LOCKED! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF! *TR
