Ther rear sway bar broke on my way home from work one day on the highway and when I looked under the vehicle to see what it was, the entire underbody is rotted out to include the subframe. This is not an isolated incident with this model vehicle. The vehicle is no longer safe to drive.
Tl- the contact owns 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that when the vehicle was taken for service at an independent mechanic. The technician notice the rear subframe was corroded through and the sway bar was detached on the passenger side. The contact called wright Nissan dealer, (10520 perry hwy, wexford, PA 15090, (724) 799-2698) and was informed the vehicle was not under a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000. Aw.
All of my locks no longer work. I have seen countless complaints about this very issue and nothing is getting done about it. I thought Nissan was suppose to be one of the best out there. I'll never buy another Nissan again if they continue not to assist their customers. I also have the air intake issue, thankfully that was recalled and will be fixed. I had to replace the front struts, oil cooler gasket, front sway bar links and the battery has been changed 3 times now. Very disappointed with Nissan and so embarrassed to even talk about the issues with this car. :(.

This is a possible safety issue. The sway bar on my 2003 Murano was replaced because the rubber bushing that were there to retain and keep it from moving laterally broke. The new sway bar had steel bushings that were welded in place so they could not move. There are many reasons that cars have sway bars, but the main reason is that when a driver has to make an evasive turn the sway bar prevents the car from rolling over. Now when the sway bar can move laterally it is non functional. And that is what happens when the rubber bushing moved on the original sway bar. They changed the design for a reason and replaced the rubber bushings with steel. I feel the original sway bar is a safety issue. I am not sure when they changed the design, but there could be a number of cars out there with this faulty design. I think the old design could cause the vehicle to roll over in an evasive maneuver.
