| Description of the problem | Power steering hose that goes to rack and pinion is leaking. I contacted several local auto shops (auto victory, youngstedts, precisition tune) and they all find the same issue. All auto shops mentioned they had done multiple power steering hose replacements for this same exact model. It appears this is a common issue in 2013 nissan murano's. The auto shops stated it is probably recalled by now but it is not. I am making this complaint so that nissan can assume responsibility of this factory defect. All these cars had less than 50k miles on them when this part broke down. |
