On 3/15/2023 while in traffic (0730) the traction light began to fash & the vehicle began to fishtail. Fortunately I was Abe to exit the expressway without an additional incident. Had the vehicle towed to Fred Martin Nissan in Akron, OH this is the dealer that has maintained my vehicle since 2010 & the only service department that has repaired my vehicle. I was advised the rear subframe was broken! 3/3/2023 I had the vehicle aligned at Fred Martin at which time I advised the vehicle pulled to the left while breaking & a noise intermittently was coming from the back of the vehicle. This incident could have cost me or another their life or serious injury! This is a HUGE safety risk & Nissan needs to address the issue immediately!

(TPMS) tire pressure monitor system. I purchased a 2010 Nissan Murano from a private party living in Illinois in April 2018. At some time in November the tire pressure lamp had lit. I have weekly aired the tires at several different service stations trying to get the lamp on the dash to go out. To this day the lamp remains on and I have no way to turn it off.

I purchased my car, used, from Nissan of canton (Michigan), on Sept. 23, 2016 where there were no disclosures of any safety concerns due to structural or other concerns. On March 15, 2018, the right rear of car made a metal snapping sound and began driving poorly so I took the car to an ase certified mechanic who found "the rear frame has rotted out where the torsion arm mounts to the crossmember". I was told the sub-frame shows signs of excessive rust and corrosion such that, the car never should have been put up for sale by the Nissan dealer in 2016 as the rot and corrosion of the frame is a safety concern. The mechanic indicated that when the car is on a lift, the corrosion, rot and excessive rust is evident and shouldn't have been missed by the mechanic the Nissan dealer's used to ensure the car was safe to sell. I twice contacted the Nissan dealership to share this information and to seek a solution. I sent the used car manager a picture of the undercarriage that is included below. The dealer said the rust must have developed since I took ownership of the car and that they weren't responsible. I rejected this and asked to meet with the use car sales manager on Monday, March 26, 2018 where I will ask that the car be returned to the dealership for a full refund as I do not feel safe driving a car sold to me with serious frame damage, rot, rust and corrosion. I am fearful the rotted frame will snap, resulting in an accident where I or others, may be seriously hurt or even killed. The consumer requested to retract the complaint due to a misunderstanding.

When entering the interstate on June 5, the car felt like wind had shaken it. My friend, who was driving it, pulled over and saw that the driver's side rear tire had torn completely around the tire. When I took the tire to order a new one, I was told it looked like a factory defect although no recall was in affect at the time.
