2007 Nissan Murano

I WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR OF THE CAR COULDN'T BE ALIGNED.. AFTER LOOKING FOR MYSELF DISCOVERED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS TOTALLY ROTTED. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND I AM SCREWED. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY NISSAN. THIS IS NOT A SMALL DEFECT. THIS CAN KILL PEOPLE. THE CAR IS STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE AND GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT.

TAKATA RECALL: WE BOUGHT OUR NISSAN MURANO (2007) 16 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BARELY 100K MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL CONSTANTLY. MY HUSBAND IS ADDING OIL TO IT EVERY OTHER DAY. PLUS THE TRANSMISSION IS RATTLING CONSTANTLY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD IT, ONE TIME ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE WORN OUT. WHILE THE TIRES WERE BEING REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED OUT AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN AGAIN. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,615.

NOTICED WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH SLIGHT SNOW, VEHICLE STARTED FISH TAILING WHENEVER ACCELERATING OVER 30MPH. WENT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND NOTICED REAR TIRES WERE TILTED IN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WHEN VEHICLE WAS LIFTED, THERE WAS SEVERE RUST ON THE SUBFRAME AND CRACKED. UPON LEAVING THE SHOP, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE WAS TILTED IN FURTHER AND MUFFLER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DROPPED. UNABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO SUBFRAME COLLAPSING DUE TO RUST. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT T&W TIRES. DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IN SIOUX CITY, IA WHEN THE FISH TAILING WAS OCCURRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SWERVED INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE THREADS ON BOTH REAR TIRES WERE COMPLETELY GONE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENTLY MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND CAUSED THE TIRES TO LOSE THREADING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC CONTACTED AN UNKNOWN NISSAN DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION WHEN A FRIEND POINTED OUT THAT THE MUFFLER/EXHAUST PIPES OF VEHICLE WERE HANGING VERY LOW TO THE GROUND. MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND REAR SUBFRAME RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKEN. THE REAR WHEELS ARE WORN ON THE INSIDE AND ARE MISALIGNED. THEY ARE TILTING IN TOWARDS EACH OTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS GIVEN A CASE # AND ASKED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF OWNERSHIP. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A FAMILY MEMBER. AS THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE I HAD AAA TOW IT TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER QUOTED ME AN ESTIMATE REPAIR COST OF $5,279; PARTS AND LABOR.
