WE PURCHASED A 2014 MISSAN MURANO SL AWD IN DEC 2104, WITH THE NAVIGATION PACKAGE ($2100) WHICH INCLUDED THE BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM. WHEN LIGHTS ARE IN THE "AUTO" POSITION, A VEHICLE COMES UP FROM BEHIND, EITHER SIDE, THE YELLOW/ORANGE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, JUST THE WAY IT SHOULD. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU TURN THE HEAD LIGHTS ON TO "MANUAL" POSITION, SUCH AS WHEN IT IS RAINING, THE BLIND SPOT WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON ENOUGH TO CATCH YOUR ATTENTION, IT IS JUST A FLICKER, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO SEE IT. IT IS LIKE THERE IS NO WARNING AT ALL. WE HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND WERE TOLD THAT, "IT PERFORMS AS DESIGNED" I SAID THEN YOU HAVE A DESIGN FLAW AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GETTING A WARNING THE SAME WAY WHEN THE LIGHT ARE IN THE "AUTO" POSITION. NISSAN POSITION IS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

WE PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN 2014 MURANO. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA WAS DISTORTED AND FUZZY. WE WERE TOLD TO ADJUST THE SETTINGS AFTER WE GOT THE NEW CAR. WE WERE UNABLE TO DO THAT SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR (AUTOBARN NISSAN EVANSTON) AND IT WAS ALSO UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD ALL 2014 NISSAN MURANO'S HAD THE SAME CAMERA AND ALL WORKED THE SAME WAY AND NISSAN DID NOT INTEND TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS WHICH BOTH ACKNOWLEDGED THE INSTALLED CAMERA IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS CREATES A HAZARD BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WHAT IS BEHIND THE CAR WHEN BACKING UP DUE TO THE DISTORTION. THIS IS A KNOWN NISSAN DEFECT BUT IT CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX ITS DEFECT. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS REPAIRED SINCE THE DATE WE PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER WITH ABOUT 100 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

17V184000 · Steering:hydraulic Power Assist:hose, Piping, And Connections

Mar 16, 2017

Nissan North America (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Murano and Murano Cross Cabriolet vehicles. The power steering hose clamp may not adequately secure the hose, allowing the hose to detach and leak power steering fluid.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the power steering fluid leaks onto a heat source such as hot engine or exhaust components, there could be an increased risk of a fire.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a power steering high pressure hose kit, free of charge. The recall began May 10, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
