2007 Nissan Murano steering problems

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 nissan murano. While driving approximately 20 MPH the steering wheel locked. The driver was unable to turn the steering wheel and crashed into an electrical pole. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. A passenger in the front seat sustained a back and neck sprain as well as severe pain to her entire body. The vehicle was towed an auto body shop. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

I noticed power steering fluid on the concrete under my vehicle. A mechanic told me my hose was leaking and I found out it cost about $500.00 to fix. I checked with nissan dealer to see if there was a recall. He told me no. There should be a recall on this problem because it is dangerous. The fluid is all underneath my vehicle. The fluid could ignite by hitting the exhaust pipe or anything hot.
