Description of the problem	I own a 2004 nissan murano. I have had this vehicle for less than a year (9months) and in the last 2 months i have noticed multiple issues... Both my front windows roll down automatically after the car is turned off, the temp gauge on the mirror flashes 100 degrees, lastly-the most concerning is my steering! I heard popping for months and months, but most recently i could feel the power steering going out. I thought at first it was because of all the rain we had some high water over our road, but it continued. My brother is a certified mechanic and he added fluid to it which helped for a day or two then it went right back to being hard to steer, mostly turning left some right. We were driving over a bridge when we crossed the bridge joint passing oncoming traffic the wheel nearly jerked left out of my grip because of the problem. We nearly hit another car and could have went through the bridge to the river below. Scared us to death!! When we looked it up in the system it says it may be rack and pinion system. I've looked online and have read multiple upon multiple accounts of the same thing for this year and model but no recall or help for this issue by nissan, not the 2004 anyway. My brother plans to get under the car and check it out in more detail but is pretty certain rack and pinion malfunction is the problem. It's gonna be a small fortune to pay for! But more importantly i have two children under age 4 that are transported daily in this vehicle and it is a major safety concern for me and for nissan. This needs to be corrected.
