Both rear tires suddenly began wearing severely inside. Both were bald on the inside. The car ha 100,284 miles and the tires have approximately 4,000 miles. I had a 4 wheel alignment performed and was told the rear subframe was too rusted to perform a complete alignment. I fear it will it will crack and lose control. Based upon other complaints on the rear subframe it is clear the material used was inferior.
approximately 1 month ago my Nissan began shaking when the speedometer reached 20-40 miles per hour. the shaky would get bad enough to where I was not able to keep it straight and would have to pull off the road. this went on for about 1 and half weeks. My husband noticed that the tops of the back tires were tilted inward. when he inspected my car he found that the rear sub-frame had broke. we also discovered that this is something that is not normal due to wear and tear. failure of Nissan to rust proof the sub-frame is to blame. I noticed several complaints from other owners of Nissan Murano's 2006-2007 on the internet. one of those were able to get a 'settlement' from Nissan, but did not detail how they went about doing that. i called Nissan customer service and all I got was there is nothing they can do because of the age of my car, even though i explained to her that this is something that could have been prevented when the car was manufactured and was due to negligence on Nissan's part. we have not taken my car to a dealer or service center as my husband, who use to race cars, is very familiar with cars. my car that has always been so dependable and is now junk, as it will cost more to repair it than what it's worth.
