| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan murano with approximately 76,000 miles on it. Power steering leakage identified by stain on driveway, as well as noise coming from under the hood. Dealer determined that cause of the leak is a failure of the high pressure line for the power steering pump. Dealer charged $750 to install a new hose. This has to be the most expensive hose on any car. Concern is that total failure can cause a surprise loss of steering resulting in a crash. This should be a recall issue. |
