2004 Nissan MURANO Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	897953
Internal NHTSA #	10440624
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	MURANO
Model Year	2004
File date	06/12/11
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The pressure hose of the power steering is leaking extensively, to the point where it required the reservoir to be refilled an about 10 days. Upon closer inspection, the power steering fluid can be seen dripping onto the exhaust, creating smoke and a burning smell when outside the vehicle. This failure probably began several months ago, but the vehicle was already leaking oil from the upper oil pan (the aluminum shroud around the crank). Once the upper oil pan leak was fixed, the ps pressure hose leak became more evident. Apparently, this problem has gotten worse just recently, because i added some fluid to the ps reservoir when i fixed the upper oil pan, and much of this replaced fluid drained out within the following 10 days. Certainly not what i'd call a safe situation, and from reading the online forums on nissan murano's, it appears this is a common situation.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
