2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TAKATA RECALL MY ENTIRE SUBFRAME BROKE IN TWO AND MY BACK TWO TIRES ANGLE BAD NOW. OT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED GOING ALL OVER THE ROAD, THANKFULLY I WASN'T GOING FAST AND STOPPED BEFORE I HIT ANY TREES OR DITCHED IT. I WAS ON A PAVED ROAD AND DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING.

SUB FRAME RUSTED ALL THE WAY THOUGH. DEEMED NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, TIRES ARE SLANTED.

REAR SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AND CONTROL ARMS THAT HOLD WHEELS ON ARE PULLING APART. TWO MECHANICS HAVE DEEMED THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO A RUSTED FRAME.

THIS CAR HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTED COMPONENTS FLICKER BACK AND FORTH FROM DIM TO BRIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN TURNING ON GO FROM REALLY DIM TO NORMAL WHEN TURNING ON. I HAVE NOTICED THIS AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. WHEN GOING TO BUCKLE MY SON IN HIS CAR SEAT THE SEAT BELTS THIN THE REAR LOCK AND DO NOT RELEASE. UNLESS ALL THE SLACK IT IT IS RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHICH SOMETIMES TAKES 3 TO 4 TIMES TO BE ABLE TO BUCKLE HIM INTO HIS SEAT WITHOUT THE SEAT BELT LOCKING

NOTICED THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT MY CAR WHEN MY TIRES LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE TILTING IN. WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT THEY NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE BACK SUSPENSION FRAME WAS COMPLETLY RUSTED OUT AND BROKEN IN TWO PLACES. I WAS TOLD I WAS LUCKY THAT I HADNT LOST THE BACK END ALREADY AND IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF A TIME OR A BAD BUMP AWAY. MY MECHANIC ADVISED THAT MY TODDLER AND I ARE NOT TO USE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE INCREASED POTENTIAL OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON SOMETHING AS FAULTY AND DANGEROUS AS THIS.

IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, IT RANDOMLY, COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I HAVE NO ELECTRICAL ANYTHING. MY CAR WILL START RIGHT BACK UP ONCE I STOP AND TURN THE KEY. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES ANYTIME I TRY DRIVING (JUST IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS) ON THE HIGHWAY 70-80 MPH OR JUST DOWN THE STREET 25-40 MPH AND HAS ALSO HAPPENED TWICE WHEN I AM MAKING A TURN! IT IS SCARY WHEN I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER MY VEHICLE.

REAR CROSSMEMBER HAS RUSTED CONNECTING CONTROL ARMS. CAUSING SUV TO SLIDE THROUGH CURVES AND EXTREME CAMBER IN REAR TIRES. WEARING OUT NEW TIRES AND ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK

THE CHARGER WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMP WILL IMMEDIATELY CAME. THE ENGINE SLOWED DOWN AND THE CAR COULD ONLY GO 10 MPH. THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET. DROVE THE CAR 2 MPH BACK HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. GERALD NISSAN IN NORTH AURORA, ILLINOIS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON HWY GOING 70 MPH WHEN I WENT OVER A NORMAL HWY BUMP, FELT A SNAP AND COULD FEEL THE BACK OF THE CAR FISHTAIL. THIS FISHTAILING OCCURRED A FEW DAYS. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED AND BROKE. REPAIRS WERE $3-4K FOR A NEW SUBFRAME AND LABOR AND THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FILED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. ALSO THE BRAND NEW TIRES THAT WERE PUT ON AT 110K MILES NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE 4 DAYS OF WEAR BECAUSE OF THE SUSPENSION ISSUE.
