The rear subframe is extremely rusted and breaking into pieces in multiple areas. The vehicle shakes upon acceleration and slowing down. Due to being lower income I cannot afford to fix the subframe (estimated to cost $400 for the the frame not including labor). Also the vacuum lines dry rotted and fell apart.
Hello, i would like to report a problem. Didnt really see anything about transmission on the choices listed above. Well i got this car used from someone. Didnt really noticed the transmission problem until i was driving it for a while on the freeway. The transmission is just so bad. It is stuck on 3rd gear all the way. At high speeds. So imagine, the engine is whining so bad. The car basically wants to give up now. Still starts, revers, goes foward with no problem. Shifting is the problem. Also, ive checked the transmission fluid. Its still at a perfect level. Yes, it has roughly 129,000 miles on it. But really? This car should be lasting longer. Please. I really dont want to pay out of pocket for a whole new transmission. Theres got to be a way or something you guys could do to help me and my family.
While driving the car will stall and not keep up with the speed I am doing. While entering the highway I need to accelerate and increase speed the vehicle will appear to be at the speed via the speedometer but it will lag and shutter and pause, causing cars to have to slam on breaks or quickly move to another lane because my vehicle cannot keep up with the flow of traffic. It is not safe on highway or on street. I've have kept up with regular tune ups, oils changes and new tires. Recently got a tune up and the issue still persist. Very scary.
I recently purchased this car used. After driving it for a little while, the car started shaking every time I would try to accelerate, but would get smooth once I got up to speed. After a few stop and go, the car decided to go into limp mode. I managed to get the car home safely, but barely. Now it drives smooth for a few minutes and then the extreme shaking returns. It only happens when the car is in drive, and stops after I shift it out. After doing some research online, I found that the transmission in the 07 Nissan Murano is notorious for failing. Nissan actually extended the warranty to 10 years/ 120,000 miles. But if you cannot get it fixed within that time your stuck, because they are so bad no transmission shop would work on them. Every forum related to Muranos just rants about how bad the transmission is. Nissan should be responsible for putting faulty transmissions in so many vehicles, I am scared to imagine what would happen if it failed on the highway while at speed.

Driving on the highway and all of a sudden started sounding like something was binding. When I got a chance to look under the vehicle, I can clearly see that the rear differential has shattered, broken completely apart and can see the gears inside. I googled 07 Murano rear differential and the exact same thing keeps coming up. The current rear differential looks to have a yellow grease mark on it. Indicates to me the part has been replaced before and the replacement did the same thing.
My car is totally just crap! I've replaced coil packs, alternator, mass air flow sensor, battery, hub assemblies, catalic converter, and a lot more and it still has major problems! I believe it has electrical problems because my radio gets a loud static. It seems like it has a hard time accelerating. Then starts shaking real bad at about 20-40mph, then does fine above 60mph"?"
Vehicle sporadically stalls upon attempting to accelerate under normal driving conditions. Operator must apply more pressure to the gas pedal than necessary to enter traffic because it will not respond fast enough to uncoming traffic.
My Nissan starts to jerk from first gear or when I slow down and start to accelerate it makes a hard jerk like downshifting on a manual transmission and releasing clutch too fast. I research and there are a lot of public forums on this issue on sensors going bad to cvt fluid change to transmission issues. I took to my mechanic and they took it apart completely said had to replace the torque converter. So this will be a $1000 repair and I hope this will resolve the issue.
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal. On several occasions, the engine continued to rev very highly before the vehicle abruptly accelerated at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer and local dealer (nelson Nissan, 800 w. queens St, broken arrow, ok) were notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 129,000.
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.
Continuous velocity transmission inherently defective. It makes a grinding noise at all speeds, lacks acceleration needed to merge safely, shutters and dies under acceleration. Also overheats.
Transmission is shot. Will not shift. Took to Nissan dealer quoted 4300 to fix. Car has 117,000 miles on it. Nissan consumer dept opened case and denied it within 24 hrs said due to being out of the warrantly yearly even though its under the 120000 of the extended warranty
Takata recall" my Nissan Murano 2007 trans started jumping in and out of gear never had trouble before I called Nissan they told me it was my problem car has never been recalled on trans I said ok then sell me a rebuild kit for my car they said no you got to buy a rebuild one wont sell me one kit for it I got 4 Nissan vehicle guss this is the last one I will buy it quit pulling on a major hyway
My car was running perfectly fine until last night when it stopped acceleration as I was driving home from a friends house. It sort of "stalled" but was still on and running just wouldn't accelerate. Never had a single glitch with my transmission before. I only have 111K miles on it. I'm regular with my maintenances. Just started happening right out of the blue. I had a maximal before this and the transmission went on it but that made jerking movements before it died. There was nothing to indicate my transmission was about to die or was failing! when I look online there is constant complaints about yours transmissions failing on people right after they hit the 100K mark. There needs to be some kind of recall on your transmissions cause this is making me never want to buy another Nissan ever again and to warn anyone who is interested in buying your cars!
My 2007 Nissan Murano suddenly begin acting like it wanted to shut of while on the highway. I would press the gas pedal about 3/4 down to the floor and there would be a few second lag before the RPM would rise and then suddenly jerk forward. I couldn't get my speed above 30 mph without the vehicle attempting to change gears on it own. Then one day as I'm going to the grocery store I came to a stop at a traffic light. When the light turned green I slowly accelerated and suddenly my car jerked abruptly and came to a halt. At this point the vehicle was inoperable. The most embarrassing part is that I was 1/4 of the way in the intersection and I was holding up the traffic all three ways. A good police officer stopped behind me and called a towing company. I had to pay over $100 to get my car towed. On top of that I had to tow it to the transmission place to have it checked since the car would start and rev, but not move forward. The transmission shop said the cvt belt prematurely broke. After researching this seems to be a very common problem among vehicles with cvt transmission, especially the Nissan Murano's. my car has a little over 100,000 miles on it. With the number of complaints on this same issue I'm surprised Nissan has not initiated a recall. This vehicle could have failed on the highway and is a very serious safety issue.
I have been driving 2007 Nissan Murano and when I drive the vehicle from a stop it jerk very badly and issue is with cvt transmission. As per Nissan dealership they will try to fix the cvt issue by changing the valve body and if this will not fix the issue then they will work on cvt transmission.
