When turning a gradual right had curve I am noticing a rubbing noise, sounds like the tire is rubbing the mudflap. This is not the case. There is more than enough wheel clearance. I took the dealer service rep for a ride and he heard this too but did not know what the problem was or did anything about it . I am currently going through the tsb's but do not find anything that fits my description. I have a 2003 AWD SL. Also we are having trouble opening and closign the cup rack in the front passenger area.
Problems, wheel or steering noise when turning

IF and WHEN you get a service writer to hear/see/feel/smell etc, a problem, have them write it up and you get a copy.
There are three reasons for this
1- establishes the date. This "could" be important if "warranty coverage" becomes an issue.
2- Gives you something to substantiate your claim with NNA if it comes to that.
3- In the unlikely event that no one can ever fix the problem, makes for good information in a lemon law case.
Never heard of a problem as you describe with the Cup holder.
They should repair/replace with no discussion.

thanks
I don't believe there is a lemon law in Canada. BUt thanks for the help. Was also wondering if you guys have had any problems with the gas milage. I'm not getting close to the posted and drive using 87 octane and wonder if this is the problem. Thanks for the reply.

uH OH..........
Hey muranocan, Ive just experienced this yesterday!
While making a slow right turn..........there it was.
A disturbing, low sounding grind like the tires against
the wheel well. I have OEM tires and rim and never
heard this before. I got out of the car to check for the possible source; scraping or rubbing marks on the inside of the fender
but I didn't see anything. I guess I'll be making an appointment
with the dealer....

Re: thanks
87 octane will reduce your mileage, but so will numerous other things:
- having fun with the gas
- driving too fast
- low tire pressure
- stopping a lot
And in winter, the torque convertor won't lockup until the transmission fluid is at operating temperature, letting the RPMs stay higher, using more gas.
There are lemon laws in Canada, they are just called something else, like "Warranty Enforcement Laws" or something like that.muranocan said:

noise still there
I am away right now but will look into this at the dealer again. The last time they said they could not find anything. will take it in again with fire in the eyes. They have not changed my tranny fluid to the N-2 type (in one of the TSB's) And i an going to see why they have not let me know via letter or anything. Mabe these do not pertain to my vehicle but I am very upset that they are not letting me know about the TSB's. I will try and find out to see if they can tell me anything. Nice to know I am not crazy. ...

Nope.........here we go in 3.................

"Could not reproduce failure as stated by customer". :banghead:
But the ironic thing is that they must have done something
b/c the "noise" has not returned since they "tried" to find the source
of my problem.:headslap:
:8: go figure.............

This used to happen on my 96 chevy cavalier. Went thru the same hub and bearing crap trying to get it sorted out. Could be a CV joint/boot? I'd get the noise every time my steering wheel went past center toward the right, even a single degree of rotation past center!
Never did get mine fixed, I just traded it in =0)

turn out the problem was something with the trailing arm was rubbing when turning... this was aligned and tightned and problem solved ...i was wondering if this was one of the TSBs that was not done on the car back in november i will get the description of the work from the shop tommorrow and repost in more detail. AT LAST HAVE THE MURANO BACK

My Wheel Bearings Went
Both of them. It really was the wheel bearings, though. Maybe I should start a new thread. Been wondering how many bearings went at 30,000 miles.
