2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

I NOTICED THE CAR HANDLED VERY POORLY IN SNOW/ICE/WET CONDITIONS OVER THE WINTER. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED BOTH REAR TIRES WERE WORN DOWN TO NOTHING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, HE FOUND THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKEN INTO TWO. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED THIS PAST SUMMER, BUT I HAVE THE SERVICE RECORDS AND I KNOW IT WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IS MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD ($5,000). I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS AND I SPOKE WITH 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE (FIRST CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEN A SUPERVISOR, AND FINALLY A MANAGER), WHO ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE "NOT IN A POSITION TO ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY". THE LAST PERSON (MANAGER, CONSUMER AFFAIRS) WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME SPEAK BEFORE HE TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. WHEN I ASKED IF THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE I COULD SPEAK WITH, I WAS TOLD NO - THERE ISN'T ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD TALK TO ME AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM FORTUNATE THAT BOTH OF THE TIRES DID NOT BLOW OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I AM SHOCKED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED AS I SEE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE IN MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO STALLS AT ONE POINT IT SHUT IFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS BLINKG SO THERE A PEOBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEED CONTROL THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AND IT WILL NOT PASS 60

THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. REALLY A SEAT BRACKET THAT BREAKS FROM FATIGUE OF ENTERING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE?!? SAFETY CONCERN SUN VISOR NO LONGER HOLDS ITS POSITION DUE TO PLASTIC THAT WEARS OUT. SAFETY ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT JUST OVER 100,000 MILES. REPORTS ALL OVER THE WEB ABOUT THIS. SO COMMON, AND SO EXPENSIVE. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES THAT ARE SO COMMON WITH ALL OF THESE MODELS. IT IS NOT JUST ME, THERE IS REPORT AFTER REPORT ON THE WEB. ALL THE SAME ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH AIR BAGS AND THEY NEED TO BE CHECKED OUT CAN BE DANGEROUS. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN ON HIGWAY.

REAR SUB-FRAME (K-FRAME) RUSTED AND SNAPPED IN HALF WHILE DRIVING. 174,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, THE CONTACT NOTICED BURN MARKS ON THE FRONT AND REAR SEATS AND TAILGATE. IN ADDITION, THE CEILING INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND GLOVE COMPARTMENT HAD BURN MARKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST COVINA NISSAN (205 N CITRUS ST, WEST COVINA, CA 91791, (626) 732-1000), BUT THE MECHANIC ONLY WANTED TO REPAIR THE UPHOLSTERY OF THE VEHICLE RATHER THAN THE OTHER AFFECTED AREAS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

NOTICED A CHANGE THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE OVER LITTLE BUMPS AND IN WET CONDITIONS, ALSO HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE INNER SIDES OF BOTH REAR TIRES. DISCOVERED THAT THE SUBFRAME HAD COMPLETELY ROTTED AWAY IN SOME SECTIONS AND OTHERS SECTIONS WERE PAPER THIN.
