Driving on the highway and all of a sudden started sounding like something was binding. When I got a chance to look under the vehicle, I can clearly see that the rear differential has shattered, broken completely apart and can see the gears inside. I googled 07 Murano rear differential and the exact same thing keeps coming up. The current rear differential looks to have a yellow grease mark on it. Indicates to me the part has been replaced before and the replacement did the same thing.
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, she heard a loud noise that she could not distinguish and drove the vehicle to a local mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed that the vehicle had a fractured rear differential and stated that it needed to be replaced. The dealer did not offer any assistance. The manufacturer failed to offer any assistance either because there were no recalls addressing the failure. The vehicle was awaiting repairs at a private facility. The failure and current mileages were 75,000.
My 2007 Nissan Murano's differential just failed on a highway without any warning. I was with three kids on a high way and it was pitch dark. The only thing I did that day was to change my rear tyres and I have no idea if this might have contributed to it. Upon research for a new part, I realised that quite a lot of people have had the same complaints about their Murano and I am not sure if they should be forced to recall the vehicle.
