Stering wheel lock actuator its not working dont let my car start this part its so expensive should be a recall regarding this problem I was is chicago 90 degres with my 2 daughters and my wife and my car doesn't start my A/C only can run for a few minutes before the battery is gone , how can be posible that this part can make the car and my family standing on the sun in summer time snissan should be responsible to fix this problem
No matter what repairs I do the ABS warning light will not go off. The breaking feels off. I leak power steering fluid and have had the pump checked. I constantly feel the steering tighten up and even randomly relax causing in unsafe steering conditions. Steering can tighten up and become loose again while in a parked position, a very slow moving speed and at freeway speeds.
The doors do not open inside or outside also the electric power doors sometimes work and sometimes don't
The steering rack and pinion are defective and they start leaking in a very short period of time. My car started leaking power steering fluid while being stationary in a parking lot
I have replaced the power steering pump it is brand new and it is still very tight and hard to turn it acts like the pump is out but when I put fluid in it it loosens up for about 10 minutes and goes right back to being hard to drive.
Was at lowes with my grand daughter when the steering wheel was locked and the steering lock indicator light was on. Vehicle would not start due to the malfunction of the steering lock box. Weather was bad and a gentleman tried assisting me but to no avail. After looking at the indicator lights he informed me he had heard of this issue and the problem was in fact due to a faulty steering lock box. I had no choice but have the vehicle towed to my temporary home and here it sits. My home flooded with 7' of water mid august and is still uninhabitable. I'm a grandmother with limited funds and really cannot afford to spend the large sum of money required to pay for a known defective part. During my research I found out that nissan knowing this issue has now imited the warranty time on this known problem. I thank god this occurred in a populated area where assistance was readily available and not rural as I quite often find myself traveling to these areas. Is this a safety issue? Absolutely!! Nissan should be ashamed knowning this part is defective and refuses to do a mandatory recall. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in this matter. Thanking you in advance.
Takata recall .... My passenger airbag light has been on for about 3 yrs. Now and when it has been hooked up to a computer results always come back the same... Error in airbag. Now I've contacted nissan and they are telling me that even though I may have a takata airbag my VIN # is not on the recall list so therefore they cannot do anything about the problem. I would have to pay out of my own pocket to have it fixed. Now they did tell me that according to their records and with the VIN # that was given to them in oct 2008 my murano already had been serviced for passenger side airbag light staying on. So basically what they were saying was that my murano had already used the one free service check in oct 2008 for airbag. First of all, my vehicle is an 09, so nissan already admitted that according to their records and my VIN # that I was already having airbag issues before the vehicle was released to be sold. I purchased it at beginning of 2012 and 2013 is when my airbag light came on. Now I have had it cleared and seems like if it is cold cause I do live in ohio, but if I clear it today and it's not really cold it may not come on, but as soon as it gets cold it comes right back on. Now there has been times where it has been cleared and as soon as you turn off the engine and start it back up it comes right back on. I also am having issues with TPMS, no matter what tires I buy I am constantly battling the low tire pressure light. It's been taking to tire shops and been checked for slow leaks and leaks around the valve stem, nothing. I have also had to replace the motors in mt steering wheel because both of those went out on me. Now my new issue is my air vents. When the defrost is on certain air vents do not shut off, air still comes through them. And in the winter I feel like there is cold air blowing up through the floor. No issues with 04 murano
Tamara recall the steering tilt and telescopic motors both died at the same time and the vehicle does not even have 70000 miles. Vehicle was just turned on.
