Murano 6-cyl

  • 129,000 miles
While driving my car the rear passenger subframe busted, caused my car to pull left and right until I could get off to the side of the road safely. I was on a highway traveling about 60mph when this happened. I have contacted Nissan about the subframe problem and they had me take it to a local dealer to be evaluated. Upon evaluation the total cost of having my rear subframe repaired is $5,022.37 invoice number on this quote is Q7812. Nissan has a warranty extension on the 2002-2005 Altima subframe, for 13 years and unlimited miles. Campaign P5216 and service bulletin ntb05-114B. Where my concern is, that my Murano has the same subframe as the Altima but Nissan refuses to repair my vehicle. My vehicle had the exact same issue as the Altima and could have killed or severely injured me while I was on that highway.

Murano 6-cyl

  • 141,802 miles
Found rear sub frame is rotted to a point that renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. Dealer quote to replace rear sub frame and control arms and mounts is approximately $4000. Dealer requires full "customer pay" despite this rotting problem being a repair "campaign" on other Nissan models with same issue.

Murano 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25 miles
While driving the car, my front seat suddenly broke pitting me towards the driver side window. Seat was leaning toward the driver side window. On Wednesday, October 17, 2007 brought my 2005 Nissan Murano to the Nissan dealer located in morristown, NJ (open road Nissan service department). I was told that the driver side seat frame broke. In order to fix the driver side seat frame of the vehicle, the cost to would be $900 plus dollars. What if I were in an accident - this seat may have been a factor to serious injury. Why is a seat frame breaking on a vehicle with 48,500 miles - not yet three years old. I keep my cars for more than 10 years and no vehicle I ever owned did a seat just break. Seems to me this is a dangerous situation that needs to be reviewed on Nissan Muranos. I am very concerned for safety of this vehicle.
