| Description of the problem | Problem with the tilt and telescope of the steering column. When turning on the car, gears seem to be grinding and the automatic feature no longer works. Wheel does not return to the pre-set location. Also the auto seat feature does not return to the pre-set location. There's a big problem with the electrical system in the 2009 nissan murano. A couple of months ago, it cost me over $500 to get the rear hatch door fixed when all of a sudden it locked shut. Of course, there's no way to unlock this manually from inside the vehicle and this could be a potential safety hazard. |
