Recently my 2007 Nissan Murano was dragging a little on slow speeds. I checked the wheels and found the driver's side rear brake had more brake dust then the other side. I pulled the wheels and found that the brake caliper was froze. I bought two "new" calipers and rotors and replaced them. I then used an Air driven suction device to replace all the fluid in the system and bleed the air out of the system. When I started it up the brake pedal was very spongy so I brought to the local tire Kingdom about 1/2 mile away and let them bleed it out. They stated that the master cylinder was now no good. I purchased a "new" master cylinder installed it, and re-bleed the system. The pedal was still dangerously spongy and low so on 06/14/202I the vehicle to the local Nissan dealer. After a few days they stated that the "ABS Brake Actuator" was not functioning. …

Takata recall multiple times the car while in motion wants to cut off or won't drive. I was driving and it wasn't wanting to drive. I pulled into a parking lot to my right. Then as I entered the parking lot the car turned off completely by itself and I couldn't use my breaks or steering wheel. I ended up running it into a curb to be able to come to a complete stop. I have read that there is a recall on 2005-2007 Nissan. I looked up my VIN number to see if there was a recall and it says there was not a recall on my vechile but other Nissan owners have been having the same problem. I have a baby and don't need my Nissan shutting off and causing an accident while I have my baby in the car.
Was concern about the seat it goes,up but leaks,down and ,rocks like it is broke, the airbag light keeps flashing and wont stop,jumpy accelertion, and replacing front brake can be costly. I bought this vehicle and according to internet by VIN# printed out no recalls, shows now I see it had recalls what can I do to get this taken care of? Driving down the road the seat felt like it was changing the height and I had to keep readjusting it, I then stopped and went to get out and it rocked. I weigh 100lbs so I could not have broken it.

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano that we purchase a few months ago. When the vehicle is in reverse and the brake pedal is applied, there is a horrible squeaking/whistling/grinding noise that occurs. I have taken the car to the dealer 4 times and they consistently state they are working on a solution but Nissan does not know what is really wrong with them and only offer a suggestive change in brake pads and using a special grease to lessen the noise for a few days. They eventually changed out the rotors on the last trip a couple weeks ago and told us the problem Nissan states is there was a change in the "Nissan brake pads" and there is to much metallic in the pads now which is causing the noise. Since that visit, we have taken the vehicle to another repair shop and had and "after-market brake pad" placed on the car since Nissan states is was only a problem with their make of brake pad. …
A 2007 Nissan Murano bought new May 2007and since new the vehicle has made a loud squealing sound from the brakes when in reverse. Car has always been serviced at the conyers Nissan dealer but even though the item was brought to their attention they said there was no fix for it. Another incident the vehicle was left at the dealership the whole day, to no avail. The most recent visit and after another complaint the service advisor checked the service bulletins and found that there was one issued for that problem and replaced the front brake pads. However that did not solve the problem and during a recent routine service visit the dealer said that the problem was with the brake rotors and pads which had to be re-surfaced and turned at a cost of $250.00 plus tax. …
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. …
