2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

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. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO WARRANTIES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE TIRES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 197,000. *TR *JS*DT*JB

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT INVOLVING TOTALING THE ENTIRE CAR. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT NOT THE DRIVER AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION, GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR.

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.

I HAD TO REPLACE MY ALTENATOR 3 TIMES. I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 YEARS AGO AT 90,000 MILES. WHEN IT FIRST WENT OUT, I BOUGHT ONE FROM AUTOZONE, THEN 4 MONTHS LATER IS WENT OUT. I HAD A WARRANTY THRU AUTOZONE ON THE PARTS SO THE PART WAS REPLACED BUT I HAD TO COVER THE LABOR COST. 2 MONTHS LATER THE ALTENATOR REPLACE IT AGAIN BUT I WANTED LABOR COST COVERERD THIS TIME. THEY AGREED TO COVER THE PART AND LABOR. THERE MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. I VE READ OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF NISSAN DOESN'T FIX THIS FOR FREE, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR CARS BECAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANIC SO IT NOT THE PERSON, IT'S THE CAR, I BELIEVE SO. THE OTHER PROBLEM I'VE HAD IT THAT THE AIR DUCK INTAKE HOSE KEEPS DISCONNECTING, IT WILL CAUSE MY CAR TO MISS FILE AND RUN VERY RUFF, LIKE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT CAN MAKE THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP SIGN.

WAS CONCERN ABOUT THE SEAT IT GOES,UP BUT LEAKS,DOWN AND ,ROCKS LIKE IT IS BROKE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING AND WONT STOP,JUMPY ACCELERTION, AND REPLACING FRONT BRAKE CAN BE COSTLY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND ACCORDING TO INTERNET BY VIN# PRINTED OUT NO RECALLS, SHOWS NOW I SEE IT HAD RECALLS WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF? DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE SEAT FELT LIKE IT WAS CHANGING THE HEIGHT AND I HAD TO KEEP READJUSTING IT, I THEN STOPPED AND WENT TO GET OUT AND IT ROCKED. I WEIGH 100LBS SO I COULD NOT HAVE BROKEN 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.
