2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

I WAS RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES. MY CAR JUST STALLED AN SHUT DOWN. IT IS A HAZARD CAUSE MYSELF AND MY KIDS COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED. I HAVE A NEW SERPENTINE BELT , BATTERY IS GOOD AN ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. MY CAR WAS DRIVING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STALLED.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR ALMOST ALL OF THE SERVICE TO MY CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER LOCAL MECHANIC TO VERIFY THE NEED FOR LOWER FRONT CONTROL ARMS. THE NISSAN DEALER QUOTED ~ $900 FOR THIS SERVICE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY 2ND MECHANIC; WHO I HAVE DONE BUSINESS WITH FOR YEARS, TELLS ME THAT I DON'T NEED CONTROL ARMS BUT A NEW SUB FRAME. THE REAR SUBFRAME ON THE MURANO IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. IT IS ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE THE REAR AXLE CAN COLLAPSE. I DID A SEARCH AND DISCOVERED THERE ARE NUMEROUS NISSAN MURANO AND QUEST OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN HAS TO HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS. BUT WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME THE MOST IS THAT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER DID NOT MENTION THIS TO ME. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THAT SHOP DOZENS OF TIMES OVER THE YEARS. IT IS THERE FOR STATE INSPECTION EVERY YEAR............AND NO ONE NOTICED.

OUR SON WAS LEAVING LONG POND, HARWICH MA RECREATIONAL PARKING LOT AT A REGULAR DRIVING SPEED, THERE ARE POT HOLES IN THE PARKING LOT THERE BUT HE DID NOT GO OVER THEM ANY FASTER OR SLOWER THAN NORMAL. THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF A FEW SECONDS AFTER GOING THROUGH ONE OF THE POT HOLES BUT HE DID NOT GO THROUGH THE POT HOLE ANY FASTER OR SLOWER THAN HE HAS BEEN THROUGH THE PARKING LOT BEFORE.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME. I TOOK IT TO 2 MECHANICS AND THEY BOTH SAID THE MOTOR SEIZED. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE CAR WAS BURNING OIL AFTER THE FACT. THERE WAS NO SIGNS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE ON THE CAR THAT I NOTICED WAS THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING A BIT SLUGGISH . I'VE REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 96,600 MILES. THE MECHANIC CAN'T GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER JUST THAT THE MOTOR SEIZED .

MY NISSAN 2007 MURANO SESUBFRAME RUSTED AND CRACKED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I COULD HAVE HAD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN KILLED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. NOW COSTING ME AT LEAST $1500-$2000 FOR REPAIRS. *AS 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

TAKATA RECALL - THE ABS CONTINUES TO STAY ON. TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT SOON.

ROARING IN FRONT WHEELS WHEN CAR WAS IN MOTION AND HAD TO REPLACE BOTH STRUTS ON THE FRONT (JAN 2019). RECENTLY, REPLACED VACUUM SENSOR DUE TO A LIGHT THAT CAME TO CHECK SYSTEM (APRIL 2019)

THE SUN VISOR FLOP DOWN AT RANDOM WHEN DRIVING, TAKING AWAY VISIBILITY. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I REMOVED THEM ONE DAY AFTER THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NOW, I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BLINDING LIGHT FROM THE SUN, NOT SURE WHICH IS WORSE.

MY CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE AIR INTAKE COMES LOOSE. THIS IS HAPPENING CONSTANTLY. I HAVE NARROWLY ESCAPED 2 ACCIDENTS. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES. I NOW HAVE TO MAKE SURE THIS CONNECTION IS SECURE BY STOPPING EVERY FEW MILES OF DRIVING AND EACH TIME BEFORE I START OUT FOR THE DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV VERY HIGHLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (NELSON NISSAN, 800 W. QUEENS ST, BROKEN ARROW, OK) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.
