Car power steering rack liking bad, car has 46k miles This car should be recalled, is got major issues with power steering rack, in which Nissan didn’t do it right do to parts shortage, this is dangerous for my kids this car can burn any second, if you telling me that car at 46 k has a major power steering leek I would never buy this car, we took our car into Nissan they do not want to fix this, they asking $2100 to fix for what Nissan did when they build a car, this has to be on recall list for all Nissan 2017, , local Nissan is ignoring this problem, we will sue , this is a dangerous problem to have on the car, it will catch a fire eventually, start resolving this to avoid law suits. Nissan is recalling more than 56,000 cars because of power-steering hoses that may leak fluid and potentially lead to fires. Nissan North America said the recall affects the 2013-2014 Murano vehicles. The problem stems from the power-steering hose clamp, which may not adequately secure the hose. That could allow the hose to detach and leak power-steering fluid, the company said. Power-steering fluid leaking onto a hot engine or exhaust pipes could cause a fire, Nissan said.

This car it was in the garage. I almost never use it only sometimes to go in the store and this cannot happen. The car who passed just 46,000. Steering Rack: Power steering rack and electronic power steering fluid - Power steering is very notchy. Upon inspection of vehicle found power steering rack leaking from the passenger side seal. Recommend replacing rack and bleeding power steering system. The steering wheel is attached to the steering rack by the steering shaft. When the steering wheel is turned, the steering rack interprets the directional input and pushes or pulls the front wheels in the desired direction. The steering rack is secured to the chassis.

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND LOST ABILITY TO STOP, STEER, AND RESTART. WHEN CAR CAME TO A STOP I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT STALL. CAR WAS FULL OF GAS AND ALL FLUID LEVELS ARE FINE. THE CAR HAS 20K MILES SO NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS EXIST. THIS HAPPENED IN LAS VEGAS WHILE THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 108. I SAW THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER NISSAN CARS IN LAS VEGAS PER YOUTUBE VIDEOS. PLEASE HELP! I AM AFRAID IT MAY DO SO AGAIN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED TODAY AND AFTER LEAVING THE CAR PARKED FOR 2 HOURS STARTED WORKING FINE.
