During regular driving, the vehicle's engine emitted a loud bang, followed by a lot of white smoke coming from the engine and substantial fluid leakage from the vehicle to the ground. The dash was clear: there were no warning lamps, messages or any symptoms prior to the event. The dealer (Jim Coleman Nissan, Bethesda) found that the high pressure power steering hose had "blown off" and the power steering switch was also damaged and needed to be replaced. I pulled over and parked, but did not stay in the vehicle because online research on my phone after the fact showed that 2014 Muranos were previously recalled for this problem and that fires sometimes ensued. Nissan HQ stated that the recall for 2014 Muranos for this problem did not include my 2014 Murano's VIN #. It seems an unlikely coincidence and other Muranos of this year should be inspected.

On August 4, 2017, I visited autonation Nissan in memphis so they could verify that my car needed the recalled part. After verification, I was told the parts would be ordered & they would call me when they came in to schedule the service. I never received a call. On September 12, 2017, I called autonation Nissan again to follow up & spoke with dave in service. Dave told me that it was never ordered & told me he would place the order right away. Again, I have never received a follow up call saying the parts have come in.

NHTSA recall 17V-184 for our 2014 Nissan Murano began 5/10/2017. Took car to dealer 5/31/2017 for corrective action after receiving recall notice. Repair could not be made because parts are on restriction. Followed up with multiple dealers on 9/6/2017 - parts are still on restriction. It makes no sense to issue a recall if parts are not available. This needs to be fixed.

6/17/17 completed 2014 Murano power steering hose clamp recall work. NHTSA 17V-184. Noticed rattling noise from engine when turning the steering wheel left or right (stationary). 6/29/17 back to dealer, got back 7/3/17. Dealer reproduced and noted the issue on service record. Did the recall work for a 2nd time, but issue not fixed. Stated there is no fix, blames recall part (dealer says per Nissan techline), referred me to Nissan Consumer Affairs. 7/8/17-7/11/17 provided Nissan proof of ownership. They advised to go to another dealer. 7/13/17-7/14/17 another dealer. They claimed to not hear the noise and suggested I bring back a recording. Went back with noise recording in my garage. They confirmed noise in writing and advised me to go back to the original dealer. Also referred me back to Nissan. 7/16/17, 7/20/17 Nissan says trying to get in touch with both dealers. 7/24/17 Nissan informed me that the first one claims the noise is normal, the second one claims there is no noise. I informed Nissan both dealers confirmed noise in writing. I asked if the noise is normal (per the first dealer), why did they do the recall work a second time" and how can the second dealer claim there is no noise when I have it in writing" he asked me to send him the video recording and docs from both dealers. I E-mailed Nissan pdf scans as well as the video recording. 7/27/17-7/31/17 Nissan asked me to go to the first dealer. Dealer confirmed the noise on the recording. But now they claimed not hearing the noise and there is nothing further they can do. They avoided answering why they did recall work twice. 8/1/17 Nissan informed me there is nothing Nissan can do. Nissan confirmed the noise on the video and confirmed that both dealers acknowledged the noise. 8/12/17 the noise persists. I am concerned safety/recall issue is not properly fixed.
