general problems of the 2007 Nissan Murano - part 2

Had driveshaft put on and asked mechanic to put sway links on that I had purchased. He called after putting driveshaft on and stated he couldn’t put sway links on until the sub frame was fixed due to it being rusted out and broke. He took a video to show me. He said the part would have to be ordered from Nissan and taken somewhere because he doesn’t do that kind of work. I took it to another garage abd they put up on the rack abd confirmed the sub frame was broke and needed replaced.

Crossover member is severely deteriorated and sway bar has broken out of the rear crossover member on both sides. Car only has 92,000 miles on it. Lower control arm can come lose and causing the wheel to detach from car. Sway bar was dragging the ground and upon inspection, noticed the deteriorated rear crossover.

The rear k frame (sub-frame) of the vehicle is rusted completely through on both sides - the rear tires slant outward at bottom & my good tires now squeel while going around turns - one side of the rear stabalizer bar is now detached from all the rust. This vehical is no longer safe to be driven at highway speeds. I see many such reports but can find any evidence of a recall by Nissan - why is that ?.

Upon driving my vehicle, my abs and awd lights came on and it felt as though the abs brakes were engaging, despite being on a flat, dry road driving at low speed. My car was making a very slight, difficult to hear noise coming from the rear, a knocking noise of sorts. I also began hearing a high pitched, whirring noise as well, though I could not identify the location or source. Upon inspection by a mechanic, I was informed that 1. The rear subframe was rusted and would need to be replaced as it was causing the control arms to move when they should not. 2. Front driver's side wheel bearing was causing the high pitched "whirring noise" and needed to be replaced. I was told to take vehicle to a body shop to repair the subframe problem. I had the front wheel bearing replaced at the auto mechanic. However, the high pitched noise that I was told was caused by the bearing, still persisted. I then decided to tow the vehicle to the body shop as upon visual inspection under my vehicle, the rear sway bar was resting on my exhaust and I felt it u safe to drive. Spoke with the body shop owner the next day, he informed me that my car was very unsafe and could not be driven because the rear subframe was so rusted and corroded, there "is practically nothing left to it. " body shop owner said that this could result in a dangerous, possibly fatal accident.

The rear subframe literally disintegrated. While driving on a 4 lane highway at 65 mph the rear wheels both shifted. Like many others on here my 17 year old daughter was driving and the rear wheels practically fell off of the vehicle. This should be a recall. Lives are at risk, not just for the owners of the car but this could have caused a catastrophic accident and loss of life. I have never seen a vehicle look like this that wasn't in a accident. Owners should be notified immediately. This 2007. Nissan Murano is not drivable. And worst of all the dealer wants $4900. 00.

Vehicles sub frame has rusted completely through making this car unsafe and nondrivable. The vehicle was responding oddly when steering and I noted that the rear tires were at a odd angle. I took the car in for a wheel alignment whereby I was told this car was unsafe and undrivable due to a totally rusted out subframe. I had the car taken to another shop to install a new subframe which costed me $2000. 00 to replace. This car has been babied and is very clean and looks new, I have new tires, brake pads, rotors, shocks, struts and always kept this cars maintenance up to date. It is unbeleavable how this garage kept vehicle could rust out soo badly on such a critical suspension component. I guestion that the metal used was unsatisfactory for this critical component. Luckily this part did not fail me while driving although the vehicle was starting to drift and sway unusually as it was driven which first brought my attention to the problem. I have all of my reciepts if copies are needed for verification of this failure. I also have many photos of which I attached a couple for you files. I would welcome a onsite review if needed. These Muranos are a definite road hazard and a hazard that is not easily seen or identified unless you crawl under the car to assess its condition which is why I think there should be a recall for the safety of all motorist who drive and are also on the road with this car. Thanks for your support and concern.

Rear sub frame is rusted apart.

Mya 16 year old daughter was driving this vehicle on the city roads when the rear sub frame broke unexpectedly.

The rear wheels looked like they were pointing in the rear and it was driving weird. I took it to a mechanic and he looked it over and told me my rear subframe was rusted out and he advised me not to drive it was a un safety to drive. He said it could fall apart on me.

All 2007 Nissan Murano have a rear t frame that rust out and the wheeles go inwould and the frame gets so bad it can splite as your driving and Nissan never had a recall on this type of metal they used and let people drive the car which any mechanic would tell you it is not safe to drive the cost of repair on this is around 3000 dollars.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to receive an unknown repair, and was informed that the there was severe corrosion to the subframe of the vehicle. The contact stated that due to the failure, the rear wheels were turned inward. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not safe to be driven. The vehicle was not repaired. An unknown dealer and the manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 168,000.

I was backing up and I heard a loud thump sound my car stopped for a minute and I took it immediately to my mechanic he put it on the lift and told me that my rear crater sub plate had cracked that holds my wheels together on both sides cracked and as I was driving down the street a couple people blew the horn at me and told me that my wheels were tilted towards the inside of my car and that my out of wheels was off the ground I am very disappointed in Nissan because this is like my second Nissan that I own in I had problems with the subframe . It appears that they are using very cheap metal for this subframe the sad thing about it I live paycheck to paycheck I don't have money to buy a new car or money to even fix this frame is very sad that the consumers at a. Of time have to be stuck with this type of repair this car is only 13 years old is no way this metal shouldn't trust like this I am calling Nissan out to take a good look at the frames that they are putting on their cars.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact parked the vehicle on the side of the roadway. An independent mechanic was contacted and an unknown repair was performed on the vehicle. The contact then drove the vehicle to his residence. The contact inspected the vehicle and became aware that the subframe was corroded. The vehicle was taken to bill kay Nissan located at 1601 ogden Ave, downers grove, IL 60515, (866) 496-3333, where it was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the rear subframe needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and repaired. The manufacturer was informed of failure. The failure mileage was 137,000.

A certified mechanic inspected my vehicle for a routine check up and noticed that part of my rear subframe was completely rusted out. He refused to install new rear tires on my vehicle due to a safety concern of the rear subframe collapsing on the mechanic. I was told not to drive the Nissan Murano due to the rear subframe completely detaching from the vehicle. My Murano fishtails when I go over bumps or traveling on the highway and my tires are caving inward. My certified mechanic mentioned that this is a common problem with 1st generation Nissan Murano models. Why has this not been recalled yet? does someone have to get killed or seriously wounded in a car accident before a recall has taken place. I challenge NHTSA to investigate these incidents because I know I'm not alone and get justice for Nissan actions. I have spent over $10,000 in repairs for this vehicle and it has been nothing but headaches. I hate to see a love one lose there life over something that can be prevented by notify the public since Nissan refuses to take responsibility. Please act know.

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.

This year third Nissan Murano, I have seen 3 sub frame and where bolted rusted and this vehicle horrible is unsafe to be on the road because of this problem will effect driving condition will make vehicle lose controll even flip it.

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. My vehicle is 12 years old no way should that frame even be able to snap not in one but two spots on this vehicle. This is a huge safety issue that needs to be resolved. I my car overheating was a blessing because that could have been deadly. This will be brought to bigger attention because all Nissan owners need to be aware and this needs to be fixed !!!!!!.

The car felt like it was floating. Took it to an independent shop, where they informed me the rear subframe is completely rusted out. The vehicle is unsafe to drive.

My Nissan 2007 Murano sesubframe rusted and cracked as I was driving on the highway. I could have had a very serious accident or even killed. Luckily I was able to get off the highway. Now costing me at least $1500-$2000 for repairs.

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

Roaring in front wheels when car was in motion and had to replace both struts on the front (Jan 2019). Recently, replaced vacuum sensor due to a light that came to check system (April 2019).

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". The last person (manager, consumer affairs) wouldn't even let me speak before he told me they wouldn't offer any assistance. When I asked if there was someone else I could speak with, I was told no - there isn't anyone else who would talk to me and they will not be able to assist me. This is an extremely dangerous situation and I am fortunate that both of the tires did not blow out while I was driving on the expressway. I am shocked that there has not been a recall issued as I see others have complained about the same issue.

Rear sub-frame (k-frame) rusted and snapped in half while driving. 174,000 miles on the car. This is a common problem with this model. Nissan has not issued a recall.

Noticed a change the handling of the vehicle over little bumps and in wet conditions, also had excessive wear to the inner sides of both rear tires. Discovered that the subframe had completely rotted away in some sections and others sections were paper thin.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano sl awd . The contact stated that the rear sub frame had corrosion. No warning lights illuminated. The dealer was not made aware. The contact diagnose the vehicle failure stating the rear sub frame needed to be repaired. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware. The failure mileage was 130,000. Nd.

Noticed when driving on the road with slight snow, vehicle started fish tailing whenever accelerating over 30mph. Went to the nearest gas station and noticed rear tires were tilted in. Upon further investigation, when vehicle was lifted, there was severe rust on the subframe and cracked. Upon leaving the shop, it was noticed that the driver side rear tire was tilted in further and muffler was significantly dropped. Unable to drive vehicle due to subframe collapsing due to rust. Vehicle was inspected at t&w tires. Driving on city streets in sioux city, IA when the fish tailing was occurring.

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.

The rear crossmember rusted completely into. Very dangerous.

Rear subframe rusted completely through at 134,000 miles. This is a common problem as reported online.

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

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!.

Takata recall my entire subframe broke in two and my back two tires angle bad now. Ot happened while I was driving, the vehicle started going all over the road, thankfully I wasn't going fast and stopped before I hit any trees or ditched it. I was on a paved road and didn't hit anything.

Noticed there was something off about my car when my tires looked like they were tilting in. When I had it looked at they noticed that the entire back suspension frame was completly rusted out and broken in two places. I was told I was lucky that I hadnt lost the back end already and it was only a matter of a time or a bad bump away. My mechanic advised that my toddler and I are not to use this vehicle due to the increased potential of a serious accident. After doing some online research I found this has been a common issue with these cars and was surprised that there was not a recall on something as faulty and dangerous as this.

Rear subframe is rusted and falling apart. Wheels can not stand straight. Its like they are naturally cambered. While driving the wheels will shake and if you it a bump itll get worse.
