1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2026

While driving, the rear arm connected to the rear driver-side wheel broke off. According to my Nissan dealership diagnosis, this was due to excessive rust/rot of the whole subframe. The 2013 Nissan Murano rear arm cannot re attach the wheel to the sub frame due to so much rust/rot on the sub frame. The whole subframe would need replacement. When doing an estimate on fixing, Nissan called and stopped the estimate when replacement of the subframe, fixing of the arm, and additional rust/replacement exceeded the value of the car. My son and I were driving on the road when the arm broke off the rear wheel, the wheel went sideways and we skidded to a stop, so our safety was at risk. There were no warning lights or signs of this happening. While driving on the road, my car felt unstable then seconds later the arm broke off. The car was at Nissan 4 months prior to have work done, I had them do a multipoint inspection when there was a problem/engine light with the vehicle and it would not go more than 15mph. Nissan fixed loose rf hub, plus they replaced a right and left front sway bar. This is right on the sub frame, there was no warning given to me that the sub frame was rusted or could give out.

Failure Date: 10/15/2018

On 10/15/2018 my wife had called me to inform me that her 2013 Murano without any warning or check engine light coming on her engine cut completely off at 60 -65 mph while merging into the expressway had there been other cars around my wife would have wound up in a collision. Had other cars been at same speed coming behind her I'm afraid it would have been a bad accident, my wife fears driving this vehicle for this reason now. It was a complete shock to her for our great running vehicle to just shut off out of the blue no warning.

There was supposed to be a clip to hold the floor mats in place on the driver's side. Nissan dealer replaced it for free two years ago. They said it was a recall. The clip came off, and they told me they have to charge me for this recall item this time. The missing clip causes the driver's side floor mat to move under the gas and brake pedal, making it a hazard. The brake pedal can't engage properly, which could result in an accident.
