Owners report multiple steering failures in 2014 Muranos, most tied to a recall issued in 2017 (NHTSA 17V-184) for power steering hose and tube assembly issues. The worst-case scenario: high-pressure steering hose ruptures during normal driving, causing white smoke and fluid spray—one owner found later that similar events can lead to fires. Other owners lost power steering entirely at low speeds or during city driving, making the vehicle hard to steer to safety.
A recurring problem is persistent rattling or screeching from the engine area during steering input. One owner had the recall repair done twice and worked with three dealers and Nissan directly, providing video evidence. All parties acknowledged the noise existed, but Nissan ultimately said there was no fix available.
The biggest complaint across 20 submissions: the recall parts simply were not available. Multiple owners took time off work for scheduled service appointments only to be turned away because hose and tube assemblies were on back order or restriction. One owner waited nearly two years with parts supposedly on order. Some also report power steering noise that sounds like boiling fluid, AC compressor failure, and serpentine belt wear—though not all were confirmed as steering-system defects.
