| Description of the problem | In may 2009, i purchased a used 2006 nissan murano from carmax, i check the vehicle for any leak signs and none were notice,the vehicle had 27000 miles at the time of purchase, less than two months later while driving from orlando florida, while driving at 70 miles per hour, i notice a noise and a little problem with the steering wheel, i pulled over, opened the hood and notice that the steering fluid was almost gone, i added power steering fluid and made it home,after researching the web i notice that i was not the only one with this kind of problems,after that i visited a nissan dealer, and my surprise was that they already know the part number for this issue,and asked the desk personel about it, and they said that so many people looked for the same part so many time that they already know it by heart. It cost me almost 500 dollar to have this problem repair at the dealer. There should be a recall for this item,it is defective from day one. |
