Body problems of the 2007 Nissan Murano

Sub frame rotted. Rear tires tilted due to this. Sway bar off. Causes swerving.

The rear subframe is rusted through in several areas. The rear sway bar connection point on the rear driver side control arm is no longer connected due to rust. The rear tires are slanted inward causing uneven tire wear. The vehicle sways from side to side while driving on any surface that is even slightly slick. The problem was discovered while replacing the rear brakes on the vehicle.

Have been driving Murano thinking only needed 4 wheel alignment. Rear wheels as I was told some time ago looked like to tow in I think you call it was off, leaning in. Took to garage, mechanic stated, k- frame completely rusted in half on both sides. Stabilizer bar just dangling. Stated it's a wonder I had not been killed. Said from the look I had been driving it for quite some time in this condition. Currently has 175k miles on it. I bought in 2019, had 161k on it then. Bought up north. Vehicle is in perfect shape otherwise. Now, I have nothing. He said possible I could have bought that way. I see many, many of these frames rusting through too early. Why would Nissan avoid this issue. I will put date discovered, but I believe date was years sooner as I only drive in local area.

Took my car in for a front end alignment and wobbling in the rear when hit bumps. Informed that the rear subframe is completely corroded and “rotted out”. Quoted repair cost of $3900, and the car is deemed unsafe to drive in its current condition.

When I applied the brakes the car pulled to the right so I brought it to my mechanic to find out the rear control arm bracket pulled out of the sub frame near the body bushing the rest of the car is not rotten only parts of the sub frame.

The frame has rusted out of the vehicle at only 156,000 miles. It is unsafe as the rear suspension and sway bars are no longer connected to the frame. This causes unsteady movement and swaying when in motion endangering the driver and others on the road. The problem was confirmed by a professional mechanic. I have not had it inspected by the manufacturer nor another party. There were no warning lamps only the onset of severe instability regarding the suspension.

Both rear tires suddenly began wearing severely inside. Both were bald on the inside. The car ha 100,284 miles and the tires have approximately 4,000 miles. I had a 4 wheel alignment performed and was told the rear subframe was too rusted to perform a complete alignment. I fear it will it will crack and lose control. Based upon other complaints on the rear subframe it is clear the material used was inferior.

Approximately 1 month ago my Nissan began shaking when the speedometer reached 20-40 miles per hour. The shaky would get bad enough to where I was not able to keep it straight and would have to pull off the road. This went on for about 1 and half weeks. My husband noticed that the tops of the back tires were tilted inward. When he inspected my car he found that the rear sub-frame had broke. We also discovered that this is something that is not normal due to wear and tear. Failure of Nissan to rust proof the sub-frame is to blame. I noticed several complaints from other owners of Nissan Murano's 2006-2007 on the internet. One of those were able to get a 'settlement' from Nissan, but did not detail how they went about doing that. I called Nissan customer service and all I got was there is nothing they can do because of the age of my car, even though I explained to her that this is something that could have been prevented when the car was manufactured and was due to negligence on Nissan's part. We have not taken my car to a dealer or service center as my husband, who use to race cars, is very familiar with cars. My car that has always been so dependable and is now junk, as it will cost more to repair it than what it's worth.

The rear passenger k frame is rusted in half. . . Almost caused me to wreck with my 2 young kids inside. . . Very unsafe. . . Something needs to be done about this problem. . .

Mechanic showed me the rusted rear k frame that not safe to drive. It shouldn’t happen at 180k mile.

Someone sold me this car unsafe. The subframe is rusted all the way, and it’s barley holding the back of the car together. An accident could’ve happened while I was driving it. The problem has been confirmed by my local mechanic. There were no signs indicating this safety hazard.

Had previously felt some shaking in car as accelerating on roadway. Did not realize at that time the my rear subframe was rusting out. When Murano was parked in driveway noticed that the back wheels where turned inward. After inspecting car found that there was a lot of rust on my rear subframe making it unsafe to use this vehicle anymore. Cost of repairs are well over 2,000. This vehicle had just turned 100k miles when this happened.

Noticed bowing of my rear tires. Looked under car and noticed a lot of rust. Spoke to mechanic who said this is a known issues with Murano-in particular corrosion if the rear subframe.

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.

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 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!.

On March 21st, I accidently hit a pot hole and my Murano started making loud noises. Took it to the mechanic who informed me that the frame is cracked and completely rotted out. Vehicle is no longer driveable nor fixable. Not to mention the undercarriage was sprayed prior to buying the vehicle.

Hello, I own a 2007 Nissan Murano and have just had an issue where the entire sub frame has broken in half due to rust. The car is not even 10 years old (160k miles) at this point and I was wondering if such a dangerous issue would be eligible for repair via Nissan? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, marti benson.

The contact stated that the sun visor had to be held up while driving. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired.

The visors will not stay in the up or stow position causing a safety issue for the driver. It will block the driver's vision when it falls. The Nissan motor corporation is aware of the problem but refuses to do anything about the problem without charging the owners of the vehicles. The Nissan Murano sl awd I own was very expensive and the dealer is wanting $300. 00 or more to repair the problem with no help with the cost from Nissan.
