general problems of the 2007 Nissan Murano - part 1

My sub frame is completely rusted through at 138,xxx miles. It was kept in a garage, or I was told from the dealership it was, and was well kept.

Upon driving the vehicle, it became apparent that the subframe had broke off causing the left rear tire to turn inward/outward. This particular part had become very eroded/corroded causing this part to break causing the vehicle to be inoperable. The vehicle was operating at a speed of 5-10mph at the time of the malfunction.

We had is in for a NY state inspection and was told that this would not pass for next year because of the sub frame. They said this would cost $4'000 !!!! we can,t pay that! why can't Nissan take care of this and stand behind your cars!.

I had noticed that my car would sway when driving around a curve or when switching lanes and was going to take it to the shop to be checked out, but my back passenger tire went flat on my way home from work which was odd because they were brand new tires. When I went to change the tire I noticed that the inside of the tire was completely worn and wires were sticking out. I drove home at 35-40mph because the sway was even worse with the spare tire. I had a mechanic come to my home to check the car out because I was afraid to drive it any further. When he jacked the car up to see what was going on, upon inspection he noticed the sway bar had come loose on the passenger and driver side of the car and that the sub frame on the driver side of the car was completely rusted through. The mechanic was able to reattach the sway bar, but advised not to drive it until the sub frame could be fixed. I contacted a certified welder and had my car towed to the welder to have the frame welded back together. The certified welder was only able to partially weld the frame and stated that the car would need the frame replaced because it was too rusted out to properly fix and that it was not safe to drive. Now I’m without a vehicle even though the car is in great running condition because the frame is unable to be fixed and the cost to buy a new frame and have the work done is more than the car kbb values the car for. I don’t know why this issue hasn’t been recalled and fixed. I could have crashed and died and my children left without a mother. It’s sad to see so many complaints and nothing done about it.

2 months ago I bought vehicle for $4300 and found out 3 weeks ago that the frame is broken. The car is very squirrely on wet roads- no wonder? it's very dangerous and it's going to cost more than the car is worth to fix it.

I was driving in snowstorm could barely move …. Murano was swaying …. Stopped waited for snow to stop…. Didn’t drive for the rest of winter …. In spring tried to drive noticed tires were worn out only on inside in the rear …. Replaced them went get rear wheel alignment…. Mechanic said sway bar rusted off of sun frame …. Sun frame is completely rotted out …. Very dangerous going to check at thousands to fix …. I noticed that this has happened to a lot of people with this year Murano …. I don’t drive often but it only has 86000 miles on it…. People were complaining online …. Why hasn’t this been forced to be recalled? do people have to die first?.

Rear sub-frame broke by rear stabilizer and caused the tire’s to turn in on top, bad design from a rich company makes Nissans throw away and will kill someone . Cheap design and will stay away from Nissans in future.

To whom this may concern ,y husband owns a Nissan Murano 2007 awd. He uses this car as his daily as he has to travel for work from shirley NY to garden city NY 5-6 times a week . On Dec 10th as he was leaving home to go to work he got on the main road and his car lost control . Thank god there was no one around him and everyone was alert because his car almost caused a fatal accident . My father was able to tow it back home and I started calling mechanic shops to see who would be able to check his car and fix it ASAP . I finally get in touch with a mechanic and my father takes it to his shop the mechanic looked at the car and told us that his whole k frame was rusted and came off completely . He said “ this is a common issue with Nissan Murano 2007 , I worked at Nissan dealership and we would see this all the time and it’s very dangerous you cannot drive this car” my question is if this is such a common issue . Why isn’t this recalled? why are these car still out on the road? we have to spend insane amount of money that we don’t have to fix this issue because we can’t afford to buy a brand new car but no only that my husband could’ve almost lost his life and hurt other ones because of this issue . This seriously needs to be fixed . After doing my research I see many people complained about this not only a while back but recently and still nothing has been done . Our car is still in the shop and we have no idea when we’ll get it back due to the cost of these parts . Please do something about this .

The rear frame and rear control arms are completely rusted away. We had it looked at when it did not feel right while driving and it smelled like burning rubber when driving short distances. The mechanic refused to service it because of what he saw. It was not safe, which means it is not safe to drive. The tires are tilted in at the top. It is unsafe to drive. It has @ 141k miles. You all are endangering lives if you do not recall for this issue, as I have now seen multiple folks that have also complained about the same issue. Why is there no recall?? now we have a vehicle that we can not drive, because it is not safe and we can not sell, because it is not safe. Please reach out to me on or before 8/25/22, if Nissan is willing to resolve.

I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano the end of June. The first time I drove it on a wet road I almost lost control, and I was driving well below the speed limit. The next week I got different tires put on and took it for an alignment. The first independent service center I took it to showed me where the rear subframe on both the driver and passenger were completely rusted through, and they told me I should drive the vehicle as little as possible until I got it fixed. I took it to a second independent service center to see if it could be fixed without having to be completely replaced, they told me they could not, nor could an aligment be done and that I should stop driving it immediately. I had only had the car for a month and a half before I had to park it. This is a major issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan!! I don't have the money to have the car fixed, nor can I sell it. So I'm making payments on a car that is doing nothing but collecting dust and taking up space. Unfortunately I am learning that this is a major issue with this vehicle. Nissan needs to fix it before people are killed, not just people driving the vehicle, but other motorists, and possible pedestrians. The airbag light is also on and I haven't been in an accident, nor has there been any work done to it since I bought it.

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

Unknown: unable to locate vehicle to fixed problemed parts.

I see the air bag light on and won't turn off for about almost a week and a half after I purchase it a week later this year and it lightly shakes when I put on drive ,don't know if that will be another issue . Hopefully I can have your company gide me in the right direction to solve this problem .

Purchased vehicle about 8 months ago, tires needed replaced badly a few weeks ago. During the change I was advised vehicle needed a wheel alignment due to tires going inward. Well today after picking up vehicle I was informed my rear sub frame of vehicle is severely corroded and unsafe to drive, rear body bushings are basically holding up by nothing. After visiting website this seems to be a common finding this year. My thoughts would be they stop selling this year and manner of vehicle due to safety concerns.

Rear subframe rusted/corrision causing the rear wheels to turn inward.

Subframe rust.

I bought this vehicle with a salvaged title. After waiting a month I got it. There were no details as to why it was salvage. There were no boxes checked as far as parts being replaced or fixed. Odometer said 69000. The vehicle is still brand new but really its not. It takes on water. Bad. Under the hood it has no air filter. The breatherbox isnt even clamped down. No hise from rad to box to adjust air flow for the mass af sensor. The ww fill bottle has a hole. No fluid can be added. The front windshield isnt airtight. It leaks bad. There are no headlights. I discovered this when I needed them. The inside is overcome with mildew smell. The airbagdoesnt work. Heck not connected. The last inspection sticker said 2020. When searchimg the VIN theres no I do to be had. The trim ariund the fog lamps was never finished. The catch playe wasnt ever added. It failed inspection. And the place I bought it is a licensed shop bit they sent me down the road. Didnt wamt their name on the paper I guess. The ac doesnt work right. I believe it to be electrical. And thjs was sold to me as a used vehicle. I was mislead. He'll wherever it has been sitting it was coveted but theres still miunds of mold and funk everywhere. Its a very suspiciius vehicle. I took it back. They tokd me they wojkd sell it again. No one needs to be drivi g this vehicle. They are selling it at full fair market value too. I just wanted to bring this to your attention.

My complaint is that my car windows rolled down in the middle of teh night, next day car was flooded,was March 2021 Nissan said they had no idea why,,then decemeber the same think happened,,it snowed here so I didnt go out for 2 days then found my windows down again,,no where was I near my remote and now Nissan is saying they say they dont t hink it was my remote that rolle dmy windows down,,they dont kow why,,ive been googling this issue and many Nissan owners have teh same issue,,but I was not near my remote to do this.

Just purchased vehicle in November took it to mechanics because I kept getting shocked by the seat they stated the engine had been on fire with previous owner and I should check for and recall since the dealership is not willing to assist now that vehicle is completely non functional.

The car continuously cuts off the brake light and battery light are on we have replaced alternator twice, once remanufactured second time brand new. Also replaced with battery thats when the lights came on before that it would occasionally have a hard time starting.

While driving the vehicle it may randomly stall causing the motor to shut down while the car is in use making it very unsafe. Also random over heating and stalling I've changed both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor also the radiator and the thermostat nothing fixes it. There was a recall on my vehicle but I need to be put on the list I was left out.

Recently my wife had been informing me of a problem on our 2007 Nissan Murano was unstable when being driven, and makes loud clunking noises when turning and reversing at low speed. I drove the SUV myself on December 2nd, and while turning a corner at a major intersection it went over a small bump or manhole cover. At that time the rear end of the car fishtailed, and I nearly lost control of the vehicle. The rest of the drive home the vehicle felt unstable while driving at approximately 35 mph on a dry, smooth, and straight road. Upon arriving home, about 1 mile from where the incident happened I noticed the driver side rear wheel was cambered inwards about 10-15 degrees. I contacted my mechanic by phone, and he told me to not drive the car and have it towed to his independent repair shop for an inspection. When he lifted the vehicle off the ground he discovered the problem. He sent me the attached picture, and said the vehicle's subframe has �extreme� rust which is unusual for only being 12 years old, and that it is �not safe to drive�. Additionally I have read many articles of other Nissan vehicles having problems with corrosion underneath the vehicle for states that use road salt in the winter. Currently there is a repair campaign going on with Nissan altima corrosion issues, and I am concerned many other Murano have the same problem as mine. I have also contacted Nissan, and opened a safety concern with them. The reference number is 38078953 Nissan says there are no recalls or campaigns with this 2007 Nissan Murano for corrosion.

Rear sub frame rusted and car collapsing. Dealership and carmaker don't care.

I was driving and randomly lost power. No powersteering, no acceleration, no brakes, all of the lights on the dash turned on like the engine shut off, and the key was turned back to electrical (while in the middle of driving, I'm 100% sure the car turned off without the ignition key switching to off). This has happened about 5 times now. The code p0345 activated shortly after the second time it happened. It has happened when decelerating/braking, accelerating, and coasting, low and high speeds. I know there are other reports of this with Muranos on the internet and apparently happens to a few other Nissans. This started in early June, when the temperatures are above mid 80's.

I was riding on the highway and almost got hit a couple of times. My car just stalled an shut down. It is a hazard cause myself and my kids could have gotten killed. I have a new serpentine belt , battery is good an alternator is good. My car was driving then all of a sudden it just stalled.

The sun visor flop down at random when driving, taking away visibility. This is extremely unsafe. I removed them one day after this almost caused an accident. Now, I have to deal with blinding light from the sun, not sure which is worse.

The rear subframe of my 2007 Nissan Murano was rotted and broken and had to be replaced!.

I have seen numerous Muranos with the frames rusted completely through. Needs to be investigate and Nissan should correct this. They're asking so much for vehicals .

I was told that the rear of the car couldn't be aligned. . After looking for myself discovered that the subframe was totally rotted. The car cannot be driven and I am screwed. This should be fixed by Nissan. This is not a small defect. This can kill people. The car is structurally unsafe and god only knows how long it has been like that.

Rear sub frame is rusted out very dangerous.

Takata recall: we bought our Nissan Murano (2007) 16 months ago. It has barely 100k miles on it and the engine is burning oil constantly. My husband is adding oil to it every other day. Plus the transmission is rattling constantly when pressing the gas and the car has stalled at least 5 times since we've had it, one time almost causing an accident. We have young kids and this is our family car and I do not feel safe driving it.

Rear suspension is rusted into cheap metal on my awd Murano.

I was driving my car in the middle of traffic when I pushed on the gas and the vehicle wasn't moving anymore. The battery and brake light both came on. After a couple of minutes I was able to move my car to the side of the road by pushing on the gas. But the car wasn't moving fast. After a couple of minutes evrething came back to normal. My vehicle is in the mechanic shop right now and my mechanic told me the alternator is going bad. I will be replacing the alternator.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that burns marks appeared out of now where on the seats, back seats and tailgate. The contact had no idea where the burn marks came from or how they occurred. The ceiling of the vehicle had burn marks and the out side of the glove compartment. The vehicle was taken to west covina Nissan 205 n citrus st, west covina, CA 91791 (626) 732-1000 where the mechanic just wanted to repair the upholstery of the vehicle and not the other affected areas. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired . The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000. Jw.

The left front lower ball joint is ready to fall out as well as the rear crossmember frame is broken in half on the right side.
