Nissan Nissan North America, Inc. Dangerous Leaky Power Steering Fluid Franklin, Tennessee

15th of Jun, 2011 by User264489

High Side Power Steering hose on Nissan Murano. 2003-2007 This is a fire hazard. A Factory Recall should be issued for the High Side Power Steering Fluid Line on the Nissan Murano. This is a common issue with the Nissan Murano from my research on the internet. The Dextron Fluid is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! I have a two year old child and Nissans concern should be about peoples safety and not Money! I was also informed from a few Nissan dealers this is an issue with Muranos. I was also informed from a few local Nissan dealers this is a common problem with the Murano! Total average parts and labor cost is $600.00

I have the same issue with 07 Murano with only 35k miles. The fluid is leaking and the high pressure hose is defective. I am currently dealing with Nissan Consumer affair, they have asked me to take it to a dealer for Diagnostics and then they will decide. I will find out in a day or so if they will pay for the repairs. I have never had any car with this issue. This is a manufacturer defect.

I currently have the same problem with my Nissan 2003 Murano. I have called the dealer and was told that it would be approximately $500.00 bucks for parts and labor - which I have checked around and can get the part for a little over $100 bucks so that means labor is almost $400 bucks by itself which is ridiculous. I do not understand why they have not made a recall on this with everyone having the same problem and going back to 03 through the current Muranos. This is just ridiculous. Maybe if we all raise enough hell calling Nissan about it all the time they will change this.

Rsach...how'd Nissan Consumer Affairs respond? I've got the same problem and called them this afternoon. Gotta get a diagnostic from local Nissan dealer and then see what they say. Just wondering how it went with you? Thanks...mdudleyh
