Murano

  • miles
I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano the end of June. The first time I drove it on a wet road I almost lost control, and I was driving well BELOW the speed limit. The next week I got different tires put on and took it for an alignment. The first independent service center I took it to showed me where the rear subframe on BOTH the driver and passenger were completely rusted through, and they told me I should drive the vehicle as little as possible until I got it fixed. I took it to a second independent service center to see if it could be fixed without having to be completely replaced, they told me they could not, nor could an aligment be done and that I should stop driving it immediately. I had only had the car for a month and a half before I had to park it. This is a MAJOR issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan!! I don't have the money to have the car fixed, nor can I sell it. So I'm making payments on a car that is doing nothing but collecting dust and taking up space. Unfortunately I am learning that this is a major issue with this vehicle. Nissan needs to fix it before people are killed, not just people driving the vehicle, but other motorists, and possible pedestrians. The airbag light is also on and I haven't been in an accident, nor has there been any work done to it since I bought it.

My vehicle was not moving at the time the light started flashing. The passenger air bag "off" light does not work unless I move the connector under the front right passenger seat. Then the passenger air bag light will shut off after about 10 seconds. This is the same problem listed for the recall but my vehicle is not part of the recall. This seems to be a problem for many Murano's not included in the recall.

Air bag lights are blinking after a person in the passenger seat was moving around in the seat. I had it checked at a body shop and a code came up (B 1049). Detects a air bag diagnosis sensor and (or) air bag module. The car was running when the light came on. I don't remember if the car was in motion or not.

2007 Nissan Muranos were part of a voluntary recall involving the passenger airbag sensor. Nissan states my VIN number is not part of that recall, however, it is the exact same issue as the recall for the same make, model and year. At this time the passenger airbag will not deploy in an accident puting passengers at risk for ingury or possible death. The VIN number should be included in the recall. Please investigate asap so passangers in this vehicle are not at risk. Thank you! the consumer requested an update.

I own a 2007 Nissan Murano that I bought used 1.5 years ago. There are two serious safety issues that the car has and for which Nissan has had to recall thousands of other vehicles. I just cannot understand why my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall. It's just too coincidental and Nissan should be held accountable. Recall number 09V169000 recall date 05/19/2009 component engine and engine cooling the intake air ducts, which are connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This separation occurs due to the premature aging of the material used in the intake air ducts which causes excessive shrinking. Recall number 08V521000 recall date 10/07/2008 component air bags summary Nissan is recalling 204,361 my 2007-2008 Altima, Altima hybrid, 350Z, 350Z roadster, my 2008 Altima coupe, rogue, my 2009 Murano, and infiniti my 2007-2008 G35 sedan, my 2008 G37 coupe and EX35 passenger vehicles equipped with Continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (OCS) control units. A varistor in the OCS control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the OCS and the air bag control unit (acu). Consequence this could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.

Driver's seat - the bracket in the rear left that supports the seat broke while driving. Air bags - the air bag light is on and will not go away. When I purchased the vehicle in Feb. 2016, the dealer assured me it was just a glitch in the display. Engine - started running rough about a week ago, while we were headed out of town. Cancelled that trip. Threw a "cylinder 3 misfire" code. My husband replaced that plug and coil and it continued to run rough. Today, it overheated and started dumping fluid on the ground. The suspension is also failing. When we hit a bump or pothole, it feels like the front end is going to fall off. I loved this car when we bought it and when it runs right, but right now, I am completely disgusted. I have only owned it for two months. I feel like we were robbed and we aren't in the financial standing to replace it.
