| Description of the problem | I purchased a nissan murano 2004 suv. When steering, mostly at low speeds my car looses its power steering. On and off the steering wheel gets heavier. I am very concerned with that fact most of all that my wife drives the car with out two little children. I believe nissan should be forced to address the issue since they did it with the upcoming new 2005 murano. Don't you think that the safety of the 2004 model owners should be the same as that of the 2005 model owners? I thank you for your attention and i believe that my complaint should be addressed in a timely matter. Thank you. Nikola goranov. *ak |
