Rear sub-frame of the vehicle completely rusted and is started to break away from the car while driving. It is now unable to be driven, Nissan will not do anything about it. They were very abrupt, rude and not willing to help in any way.

Rear sub frame rusted

Last year my drivers side front seat anchor/bracket broke. Poor design. Rear sub frame rusted out resulting in the rear left wheel to nearly fall off while driving. This year my wife was advised by a person in a vehicle behind her that the rear wheel was ready to launch. Road salt caused rusting to sub frame body mount. Again poor design and material.

I purchased my 2007 Murano in August 2011. From the date of purchase, I've had multiple issues. The brakes have been a constant issue, I've had to replace the front struts (before 60,000 miles) and was told that I need to replace the rear shocks as soon as possible, the driver side visor is broken, 2 months ago it began leaking oil for some unknown reason, and now the front seat is broken, causing the left hand side of the seat to 'float'. I weigh 140 lbs so it's not like I've caused any undue stress on the seat. The vehicle currently has 70,000 miles. I cannot afford to make all the repairs - but cannot sell it until I do make them (who in their right mind wants to purchase a car that needs $2500 poured into it for repairs, with new issues occurring on a regular basis). It's a shame that Nissan can produce something of such poor quality and not be forced to stand behind their product. This is the worst car I've ever owned. If I can ever get rid of this it I'll never own another Nissan.

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano with about 58,000 miles and about 6 months ago when it had about 50,000 miles, I had to replace the left outer tie rod. Just recently, I had to replace the left and right front lower control arms because the ball joints were badly worn. I didn't notice any handling, steering, rattling or any other unusual issues before the problem was noticed. I don't drive the car over rough roads or abuse it in any way. These defects were detected when the tires were rotated. It makes me wonder what else will cause problems in the suspension if these things went wrong with relatively low mileage. There are no recalls that I can detect and this is not covered under the basic warranty so I plan to call the dealer and do a lot of complaining.
