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

Was driving 50km/H with my grandson in the car on a side street when we heard a loud bang and then something dragging on the ground, I pulled over and got out to find the control arm had broken the subframe and hit the ground. Thankfully my self and my grandson were ok and the compressed spring for the rear suspension did not come out of its holder.

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.

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 !!!!!!

- Springfield, MA, USA

Driving on a slick highway the rearend of the Murano was fishtailing. The rear suspension was making noises, and the steering wheel was suddenly way off center. I took it to a local mechanic to inspect. It was noted the the rear swaybar had separated from the rear crossmember /subframe and the subframe was rusted and cracked and rusted through to failure. The vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive, and was told to immediately stop driving it. The rear wheels were tilted outward and a big safety hazard. Subframe near total separation from vehicle. Murano is now a total loss. Cost to repair too extensive.

I own a 2007 Nissan Murano sl AWD. I have taken the vehicle to my local Nissan dealer for almost all of the service to my car. I took the car to another local mechanic to verify the need for lower front control arms. The Nissan dealer quoted ~ $900 for this service. To my surprise, my 2nd mechanic; who I have done business with for years, tells me that I don't need control arms but a new sub frame. The rear subframe on the Murano is completely rusted. It is almost to the point where the rear axle can collapse. I did a search and discovered there are numerous Nissan Murano and quest owners that have this problem. This is a major safety issue. Nissan has to have known about this. But what really bothers me the most is that my local Nissan dealer did not mention this to me. My car has been in that shop dozens of times over the years. It is there for state inspection every year............and no one noticed.

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.

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 Nissan 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!
