2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

We were driving 35 MPH, and the rear tires started squealing. We pulled over and saw that both rear tires were slanted inward and the left rear was twisted, not going straight. I tried to drive it further and the rear tires would not turn. After going a block, we parked it and got a ride home. The next day, we had it towed to the local Nissan Dealership. They inspected it and told us that the rear subframe had given out, due to rust. Thankfully, we were not going fast, as this situation made the whole rear suspension disconnected from the vehicle. I have called Nissan Customer Affairs, and they just quote what the warranty is on the vehicle. They say they can do absolutely nothing for us. Many Nissan Forums have multiple customers posting a similar problem. Who buys a car, and the frame just gives out? I am extremely disappointed with Nissan's lack of responsibility and customer service. I'd like them to offer some resolution. Ironically, we also own a '13 Nissan Murano. I am very concerned that the same thing could happen to this vehicle in the next few years. If that's the case, I'm going to sell it in a year or two. Please help us out NHTSA. Thank you for your time.

I JUST PURCHASED MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND I NOTICED WHEN I AM DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE THE BACK IS RIDING ON ICE. I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS SO SCARED OF THE WAY THE CAR FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING IT FELT AS IF IT WAS GOINGVTO FISHTAIL. I DID TAKE IT BACK TO THE CAR LOT I BOUGHT IT FROM TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER OF A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ASKED IF THEY WERE PAYING FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND I THOUGHT THATS WHAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR BUT WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERS THE TRANNY AND ENGINE. SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET AHOLD OF THE OWNER AND ASK HIM IF THEY CAN PAY FOR IT THAT WAS 4 OR 5 DAYS AGO AND STILL NO WORD BACK. I PLAN ON TAKING THE CAR TO GET IT CHECKED OUT IF I CAN FIND SOMEONE TO DIAGNOSE IT FREE I AM ON DISABILITY AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR SO HAVE VERY LITTLE MONEY LEFT AFTER ALL MY BILLS.

THE LEFT, DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT OF MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO BROKE WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING. THE SUPPORT BRACKET CRACKED COMPLETELY, LEAVING THE SEAT TILTED DOWNWARD SEVERAL INCHES ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION BECAUSE THE SEAT IS BOUNCING AT AN ODD ANGLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN MURANO. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AN NHTSA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

NOT SURE WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT SEAT FRAME BROKE, NOW I WOBBLE BACK AND FOR WHILE DRIVING.. NO RECALL FOR THIS. RIDICULOUS!!! SCARY AS [XXX] ... NOT ONLY THAT, I HAVE LIKE 100'S OF STORIES COPIED HERE OF THE EXACT SAME THING. I WANT TO KNOW WHY NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THE FRAME FOR THIS VEHICLE? I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN!!!!

I WAS DRIVING MY MURANO ABOUT 40 MPH ON A FOUR-LANE DIVIDED ROAD IN CENTENNIAL CO AROUND 12:30 PM ON MARCH 13, 2020 WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG RIGHT ABOVE MY HEAD. THE SKY WAS PERFECT CLEAR BLUE, SO NO CHANCE IT WAS HAIL. I KNEW INSTANTLY THAT MY SUN ROOF GLASS HAD SHATTERED. I HEARD PIECES OF IT ROLLING OFF THE CAR. I PULLED OFF ON TO THE FIRST SIDE STREET AND GOT OUT TO EXAMINE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I SAW A HOLE IN THE SUN ROOF ABOUT 6 INCHES X 6 INCHES IN THE CENTER OF THE SUN ROOF. I INITIALLY THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE SKY AND HIT MY CAR, BUT I COULD TELL FROM HOW THE GLASS WAS POINTED UPWARD AROUND THE EDGES OF THE HOLE THAT A FORCE UNDERNEATH THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED IT.

THE REAR SUB FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 06 NISSAN MURANO AWD IS BROKEN AND IT'S CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YOU CAN FEEL THE REAR SWAYING BACK AND FORTH. IT'S ALSO CAUSED MY TIRES TO FLARE OUT AND WEAR ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TIRES.

THE VEHICLE HAS A SUBFRAME THAT HAS ROTTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MOST MURANO'S PRODUCED BETWEEN THE YEARS 2004 AND 2007 WITH AROUND 120,000 MILES. THE RESULT OF THIS IS LOSS OF STABILITY ON THE ROAD WHILE MOVING, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION TO COME OFF OF THE VEHICLE. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT PASS PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION REGULATIONS. AGAIN, BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED FROM THE METAL OF THE SUBFRAME CORRODING FROM THE INSIDE OUT, IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S FAULT, NO THE DRIVER/OWNERS'S. AND BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THIS MAKE OF CAR IN THESE SELECT YEARS, SHOWS COINCIDENCE IS NOT TO BLAME.

HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $5012.91 AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT WARRANTY IS 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES JUST LIKE AN OFF-THE-SHELF CAR PART.
