Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. when the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be serviced, the technician noticed that the rear subframe was corroded through and the sway bar was detached on the passenger side. the contact called wright nissan (10520 perry hwy, wexford, pa 15090, (724) 799-2698) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was approximately 39,000. *pm*jb

The car felt like it was floating. took it to an independent shop, where they informed me the rear subframe is completely rusted out. the vehicle is unsafe to drive.

I own a 2007 nissan murano sl awd. i have taken the vehicle to my local nissan dealer for almost all of the service to my car. i took the car to another local mechanic to verify the need for lower front control arms. the nissan dealer quoted ~ $900 for this service. to my surprise, my 2nd mechanic; who i have done business with for years, tells me that i don't need control arms but a new sub frame. the rear subframe on the murano is completely rusted. it is almost to the point where the rear axle can collapse. i did a search and discovered there are numerous nissan murano and quest owners that have this problem. this is a major safety issue. nissan has to have known about this. but what really bothers me the most is that my local nissan dealer did not mention this to me. my car has been in that shop dozens of times over the years. it is there for state inspection every year............and no one noticed.

My nissan 2007 murano sesubframe rusted and cracked as i was driving on the highway. i could have had a very serious accident or even killed. luckily i was able to get off the highway. now costing me at least $1500-$2000 for repairs. *as 'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*jb

Roaring in front wheels when car was in motion and had to replace both struts on the front (jan 2019). recently, replaced vacuum sensor due to a light that came to check system (april 2019)

I noticed the car handled very poorly in snow/ice/wet conditions over the winter. the car was in the shop for an oil change and the mechanic noticed both rear tires were worn down to nothing on the inside of the tire. upon further inspection, he found that the rear subframe had rusted through and broken into two. the vehicle was declared unsafe to drive. i bought the car used this past summer, but i have the service records and i know it was properly maintained. the estimated cost of repairs is more than i can afford ($5,000). i contacted nissan to see if they would provide any assistance with repairs and i spoke with 3 different people (first consumer affairs, then a supervisor, and finally a manager), who all told me that they are "not in a position to assist because the vehicle is out of warranty". the last person (manager, consumer affairs) wouldn't even let me speak before he told me they wouldn't offer any assistance. when i asked if there was someone else i could speak with, i was told no - there isn't anyone else who would talk to me and they will not be able to assist me. this is an extremely dangerous situation and i am fortunate that both of the tires did not blow out while i was driving on the expressway. i am shocked that there has not been a recall issued as i see others have complained about the same issue.

Rear sub-frame (k-frame) rusted and snapped in half while driving. 174,000 miles on the car. this is a common problem with this model. nissan has not issued a recall.

Noticed a change the handling of the vehicle over little bumps and in wet conditions, also had excessive wear to the inner sides of both rear tires. discovered that the subframe had completely rotted away in some sections and others sections were paper thin.

Driving on a slick highway the rearend of the murano was fishtailing. the rear suspension was making noises, and the steering wheel was suddenly way off center. i took it to a local mechanic to inspect. it was noted the the rear swaybar had separated from the rear crossmember /subframe and the subframe was rusted and cracked and rusted through to failure. the vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive, and was told to immediately stop driving it. the rear wheels were tilted outward and a big safety hazard. subframe near total separation from vehicle. murano is now a total loss. cost to repair too extensive.

Noticed when driving on the road with slight snow, vehicle started fish tailing whenever accelerating over 30mph. went to the nearest gas station and noticed rear tires were tilted in. upon further investigation, when vehicle was lifted, there was severe rust on the subframe and cracked. upon leaving the shop, it was noticed that the driver side rear tire was tilted in further and muffler was significantly dropped. unable to drive vehicle due to subframe collapsing due to rust. vehicle was inspected at t&w tires. driving on city streets in sioux city, ia when the fish tailing was occurring.

I was pulling out of a gas station when a friend pointed out that the muffler/exhaust pipes of vehicle were hanging very low to the ground. mechanic inspected it and rear subframe rusted through and broken. the rear wheels are worn on the inside and are misaligned. they are tilting in towards each other. the vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive. i contacted nissan consumer affairs. i was told that there was not a recall and that i would need to take the vehicle to a nissan dealership to have them look at it and for the repair. i was given a case # and asked to provide proof of ownership. i recently purchased the vehicle from a family member. as the car was inoperable i had aaa tow it to the nearest nissan dealership. the dealer quoted me an estimate repair cost of $5,279; parts and labor.

The rear crossmember rusted completely into. very dangerous.

Rear subframe rusted completely through at 134,000 miles. this is a common problem as reported online.

Rear suspension is rusted into cheap metal on my awd murano

My 2007 nissan muran has approx 125,000 miles. i have taken care of it. it has nice tires and the most recent 4wheel alignments where approx jan and feb 2018. for whatever reason i got in one day last summer and as soon as i was on the highway my seat felt as if i got push backward and my seat bracket had just broke, i now have bricks holding up my $28,000 ride! july 26, 2018 someone pulled into my driveway hitting my parked vehicle and quickly driving away. they hit it hard enough to dent the bumper and tow bar. i immediately could tell the rear end was way off. progressive refuses to pay for this as they said my crossmember completely rusted through as well as some of my frame and some other parts.. they say if the vehicle had not had such a serious rust problem -which is not age appropriate to my vehicle-then it would not have broken in half towing my tires in as well from that hit. coverage is voided like a poor workmanship deal! the shop i have it at right now says its so far gone it is seriously unsafe to drive. for myself and others. due to nissans premature rust issues my car is undriveable and my drivers seat isnt safe as well. progressive auto insurance is refusing to stand by my full coverage policy and apparently are legally able to do so because the substandard parts give them that escape clause. i still owe on this vehicle. i really need nissan to make this right as they have even made it so it was uninsurable as i paid and i never even knew it. i have my car in places for alignments, tires, oil changes etc etc and noone ever told me it was rusting or rusted away. the progressive agent had looked at my murano upon the 1st inspection and never even told me about the danger i was in driving. nissan has created a problem that has prompted my progressive adjuster to place my safety at risk so they can get out of paying. i took care of my car!

Takata recall my entire subframe broke in two and my back two tires angle bad now. ot happened while i was driving, the vehicle started going all over the road, thankfully i wasn't going fast and stopped before i hit any trees or ditched it. i was on a paved road and didn't hit anything.

Noticed there was something off about my car when my tires looked like they were tilting in. when i had it looked at they noticed that the entire back suspension frame was completly rusted out and broken in two places. i was told i was lucky that i hadnt lost the back end already and it was only a matter of a time or a bad bump away. my mechanic advised that my toddler and i are not to use this vehicle due to the increased potential of a serious accident. after doing some online research i found this has been a common issue with these cars and was surprised that there was not a recall on something as faulty and dangerous as this.

Rear subframe is rusted and falling apart. wheels can not stand straight. its like they are naturally cambered. while driving the wheels will shake and if you it a bump itll get worse

Rear crossmember has rusted connecting control arms. causing suv to slide through curves and extreme camber in rear tires. wearing out new tires and almost causing me to wreck

Was driving straight on hwy going 70 mph when i went over a normal hwy bump, felt a snap and could feel the back of the car fishtail. this fishtailing occurred a few days. was able to get it to the dealer where it was determined that the rear subframe had rusted and broke. repairs were $3-4k for a new subframe and labor and the car was unsafe to drive. filed complaint with nissan. also the brand new tires that were put on at 110k miles now need to be replaced due to the 4 days of wear because of the suspension issue.

Was driving straight going 25 mph heard a snap and could feel the back of the car fishtail. was able to get it to the dealer where it was determined that the rear subframe had rusted and broke. repairs were 4 i to 6k and the car was unsafe to drive. if i had been on the interstate when this happened i could have been killed. complained to nissan and all they did was apologize can provide a photo if necessary

Driving on a local highway doing about 35 to 40 mph. put on brakes and the entire rear end began to vibrate and make a rumbling noise. the rear tires are leaning inward on both sides of the vehicles which throws off the stabalization of the vehicle making it unsafe and difficult to steer or stop. the entire stabalization bar and the mounting brackets supporting it rusted through on the left side and dislodged and the right side is ready to dislodge from the body at any time. there is nothing to support the bar so it can inadventerly fall and hit the highway and do damage to the undercarriage of the car or cause the vehicle to flip. my mechanic told me the vehicle is unsafe to drive. they called nissan and of course no recall or assistance to fix the vehicle which is over 2000 dollars. the sun visor on the drivers side drops blocking your vision unexpectantly creating a vision issue and concentration issue while driving. the electrical motor on the drivers seat is starting to fail and the seat wobbles as it is being repositioned. once repair are complete and i have invoices, i will upload them under a separate complaint.

Rear crossmember sub-frame cradle all rusty through and fail completely. it is broken in pieces. both rear tires are completly off allignment .

While driving my vehicle, i heard a loud clunk from the rear of the vehicle. at the next intersection when i attempted to stop, it veered sharply to the left, almost into oncoming traffic. i was able to drive it to a local repair shop for inspection. they indicated the entire rear sub frame broke in half and separated from the vehicle. i have ready many threads of drivers experiencing the same thing. these vehicles are a danger on the road.

Rear sub-frame of the vehicle completely rusted and is started to break away from the car while driving. it is now unable to be driven, nissan will not do anything about it. they were very abrupt, rude and not willing to help in any way.

The rear sub frame has rusted out, causing the control arm to snap while driving the vehicle resulting in the vehicle being towed.

Rear sub frame rusted

Last year my drivers side front seat anchor/bracket broke. poor design. rear sub frame rusted out resulting in the rear left wheel to nearly fall off while driving. this year my wife was advised by a person in a vehicle behind her that the rear wheel was ready to launch. road salt caused rusting to sub frame body mount. again poor design and material. *tr

Car started to make a noise when steering or hitting a bump. *tr

I purchased my 2007 murano in august 2011. from the date of purchase, i've had multiple issues. the brakes have been a constant issue, i've had to replace the front struts (before 60,000 miles) and was told that i need to replace the rear shocks as soon as possible, the driver side visor is broken, 2 months ago it began leaking oil for some unknown reason, and now the front seat is broken, causing the left hand side of the seat to 'float'. i weigh 140 lbs so it's not like i've caused any undue stress on the seat. the vehicle currently has 70,000 miles. i cannot afford to make all the repairs - but cannot sell it until i do make them (who in their right mind wants to purchase a car that needs $2500 poured into it for repairs, with new issues occurring on a regular basis). it's a shame that nissan can produce something of such poor quality and not be forced to stand behind their product. this is the worst car i've ever owned. if i can ever get rid of this it i'll never own another nissan. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan murano with about 58,000 miles and about 6 months ago when it had about 50,000 miles, i had to replace the left outer tie rod. just recently, i had to replace the left and right front lower control arms because the ball joints were badly worn. i didn't notice any handling, steering, rattling or any other unusual issues before the problem was noticed. i don't drive the car over rough roads or abuse it in any way. these defects were detected when the tires were rotated. it makes me wonder what else will cause problems in the suspension if these things went wrong with relatively low mileage. there are no recalls that i can detect and this is not covered under the basic warranty so i plan to call the dealer and do a lot of complaining. *tr

2007 nissan murano awd w/ 84k miles. took vehicle into nissan dealer service dept. in july for noises in engine area. diagnosed as bad wheel bearings on 1 side of vehicle cost $600.00. returned to dealer approx. 1 month later, again hearing noises coming from engine area. was again diagnosed w/bad wheel bearings on other side & was told replacement from 1 month prior was defective & needed replacement again. questioned dealer service dept. diagnosis, indicating that i also smelled either oil burning or some kind of fluid burning when driving. without further examination of vehicle, service dept. recommended a fluid flush, i indicated that the fluids had just been flushed 1 month prior, was told no other problems were indicated when vehicle was inspected earlier that day. smell of oil or fluid was dismissed by service dept. received a call later that day from service dept. indicating repairs to defective wheel bearing & second wheel bearing completed, car ready for pick up $400 bill. picked up vehicle @ approx. 5:30 pm. as i drove home there was a good amount of traffic & vehicle speed did not exceed 30 mph for majority of trip. upon clearing of traffic & further acceleration to approx. 45 mph, there was an extremely loud bang that came from what sounded like the engine area of my vehicle, accompanied by a dragging & grinding sound coming from the bottom of my vehicle bringing my vehicle to a quick stop. it sounded like the bottom of my vehicle fell off. i managed to pull vehicle over to safety & next day had vehicle towed back to dealer. i was then informed by dealer that the transfer case on my vehicle had broken, that the vehicle was beyond the warranty & the repair cost is $3,400. this may be a problem in the awd model. there are many similar incidents posted on the internet. this part is defective & needs investigation, had i been on a highway when this happened the outcome could have been catastrophic, please help! don't wait until a true tragedy occurs. *tr
