THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY BASICALLY BLEW OUT OF THIS LOVINGLY USED NISSAN MURANO. THIS CAUSED A POWER STEERING "WHINE" WHEN TURNING AND MADE TURNING DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. FURTHER DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE BLOW OUT VICE SLOW BREAK IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED THE AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING FLUID AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM. NATURALLY, AS THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY, NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER COST NOR CONSIDER A REDUCTION IN REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FEES. THIS IS A BIG-TIME HISTORICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND YEAR OF THIS NISSAN. LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT THEY REPLACE ABOUT TWO OF THESE PER WEEK ON AVERAGE, AND THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR STORIES OF REPAIRS COSTING IN EXCESS OF $600. THIS REPAIR COST ME A TOTAL OF $650 DOLLARS AND A REAL LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE NISSAN PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS LOOSE TILTS BACK AND TO THE LEFT WHEN I SIT IN IT. TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BROKEN "LIFT ASSEMBLY". THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $1200. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE, THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. MY MURANO HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS 52,888. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID SHE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT?!?!?! SURE.... THERE ARE OVER 135 COMPLAINTS ON HERE, AND MANY OF THEM HAD NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR NISSAN TO STEP-UP AND TAKE ACTION FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING?!? RIDICULOUS! *TR
