| 2006 | STEERING | I NOTICED POWER STEERING FLUID ON THE GROUND AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR WAS LOW. I PUT THE CAR ON JACKSTANDS AND CONFIRMED THAT THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE LINE WAS LEAKING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE THE FLUID IS COMBUSTIBLE AND I OBSERVED THE STEERING FLUID ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND EXHAUST PIPE. I FIXED THE HOSE MYSELF AND SAVED ALMOST $450 BUT NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED IN A FIRE. AFTER READING THE NISSAN FORUMS ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR |
| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.. LAST NIGHT WE WERE DRIVING ON A VERY CURVY MOUNTAIN ROAD WHEN A CAR CAME INTO SIGHT. WHEN WE SWITCHED TO DIM, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THIS PUT US IN TOTAL DARKNESS. IT TOOK A MINUTE TO ADJUST OUR EYES AND REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DIMMER SWITCH IS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SWITCH TO TURN THEM OFF IS ON THE END OF THE DIMMER HANDLE. WE KEEP OUR RUNNER LIGHTS ON EACH TIME WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR. SOME HOW WHEN YOU GO TO SWITCH THE LIGHTS THE KNOB TURNS TO OFF, WHICH MAKES THEM GO OUT, WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM BRIGHT TO DIM AND FROM DIM TO BRIGHT. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN. I WONDER IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE DID NOT CRASH. *TR |
