Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Nissan Murano owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Driving to work in the rain the vehicle began to sway when breaks were applied. The back of the vehicle went right and the car went left. I moved to the right lane and the vehicle fishtailed! I was totally afraid that I could drive into a ditch or be killed on the highway. I drove very slowly to the repair shop, after inspection, I needed struts but then the mechanic looked further and saw that the rear k-subframe was completely corroded and unable to be welded. The one piece was completely apart from the other. A danger to drive. Once I began to look for a replacement part, I began to see how many other Murano owners have had the same issues with the subframe rusting out. This is absolutely crazy that this part is not recalled as the part is defective in the construction of it. Nissan should be ashamed. My life and my daughter's was at risk. …
The rear subframe rusted off on drivers side. I financed this car only 10 months ago and now I can not drive it. It is very dangerous to drive, and the mechanic told me I should no longer drive it because of how dangerous it is. I have seen numerous complaints about people having the same rear subframe rusting. I can not afford to get it fixed and I'm still paying on the car. I got it for $7,500 and have put over $2,000 in it. I still have $4,500 left on it. They need a recall, this is a safety hazard for not only the driver and passengers, but for civilians walking or driving by the car, which at any moment the tire can fly off. Please recall the vehicles before someone puts in a lawsuit.
Unknown- I was driving and felt the car wobble but didn't know what it was, when I got home noticed my back wheels ware sticking out,and I was scare,I had a mechanic look at it in my driveway because I'am afraid to drive it,and the mechanic said that it was rusted and I shouldn't drive it cause I could cause a accident,I pick up my kids every day from school and I been asking for help picking them up,please help,this is the only car I have and my only way to bring and pick up my kids from school
The rear subframe is extremely rusted and breaking into pieces in multiple areas. The vehicle shakes upon acceleration and slowing down. Due to being lower income I cannot afford to fix the subframe (estimated to cost $400 for the the frame not including labor). Also the vacuum lines dry rotted and fell apart.
About a year ago my husband and I noticed there was alot of rust in the rear end on the sway bar and around it not to long after the sway bar looked as If it was going to come apart on the left side my husband got it to stay put for a little while but as time went on the truck just became more unsafe anytime we tried to drive it it was all over the road it's kept pulling to the left very badly we noticed that the back tires were not straight and bowing out my husband changed the front tire on the left for unrelated reasons and then the next day we was driving and the awd light started flashing we were heading home and went to take off from a red light when I hit the gas the whole rear end exploded into pieces and now we definitely can't use it the only way to is to replace the rear end. …
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". …
Bought the car 5 months ago. Was driving awesome. Brand new tires! Very well maintained with lots of paperwork stating work done on vehicle!..:well was driving it the other day with my 2 year old daughter and it started to over heat I immediately pulled over after going 60 MPH on the highway for over an hour. I'm now stuck on the highway with my toddler in the 80 degree weather when I just thought it was my radiator. The state police notice my rear 2 tires slanted , top leaning in bottom leaning out. After the car gets put on the flat bed tow I spot my rear crossmember k frame split in 2 spots! Radiator was my sign telling me my AWD is acting up something happened. If I would have hit one small bump on that highway I wouldn't be here to file this complaint. This is a known issue to Nissan! This needs to be fixed!!! And made sure all vehicles are safe for anyone to be in. …
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. …
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.
