The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who discovered a massive hole on the subframe due to excessive corrosion. The contact then took the vehicle to the dealer where it was purchased where it remained in their possession awaiting an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred him to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 83,314.
Noticed bowing of my rear tires. Looked under car and noticed a lot of rust. Spoke to mechanic who said this is a known issues with murano-in particular corrosion if the rear subframe.
The rear subframe rusted off on drivers side. I financed this car only 10 months ago and now I can not drive it. It is very dangerous to drive, and the mechanic told me I should no longer drive it because of how dangerous it is. I have seen numerous complaints about people having the same rear subframe rusting. I can not afford to get it fixed and I-€™m still paying on the car. I got it for $7,500 and have put over $2,000 in it. I still have $4,500 left on it. They need a recall, this is a safety hazard for not only the driver and passengers, but for civilians walking or driving by the car, which at any moment the tire can fly off. Please recall the vehicles before someone puts in a lawsuit.

Rear subframe rusted/rot. Unsafe to drive. Both rear wheel alignment are thrown off and wheels are bent inwards. Further driving can cause rear subframe to collapse and can cause serious damage to the vehicle and driver/passenger. A recall needs to be made immediately to resolve this issue
The rear K frame (sub-frame) of the vehicle is rusted completely through on both sides - the rear tires slant outward at bottom & my good tires now squeel while going around turns - one side of the rear stabalizer bar is now detached from all the rust. This vehical is no longer safe to be driven at highway speeds. I see many such reports but can find any evidence of a recall by Nissan - why is that ?
The metal used to make the k frame on the nissan murano has failed. It has lead to numerous problems with this year of muranos. I believe Nissan should be responsible for fixing this problem. It is a huge safety problem and could kill someone.
Had driveshaft put on and asked mechanic to put sway links on that I had purchased. He called after putting driveshaft on and stated he couldn-€™t put sway links on until the sub frame was fixed due to it being rusted out and broke. He took a video to show me. He said the part would have to be ordered from Nissan and taken somewhere because he doesn-€™t do that kind of work. I took it to another garage abd they put up on the rack abd confirmed the sub frame was broke and needed replaced.
Crossover member is severely deteriorated and sway bar has broken out of the rear crossover member on both sides. Car only has 92,000 miles on it. Lower control arm can come lose and causing the wheel to detach from car. Sway bar was dragging the ground and upon inspection, noticed the deteriorated rear crossover.
Upon driving my vehicle, my ABS and AWD lights came on and it felt as though the abs brakes were engaging, despite being on a flat, dry road driving at low speed. My car was making a very slight, difficult to hear noise coming from the rear, a knocking noise of sorts. I also began hearing a high pitched, whirring noise as well, though I could not identify the location or source. Upon inspection by a mechanic, I was informed that 1. The rear subframe was rusted and would need to be replaced as it was causing the control arms to move when they should not. 2. Front driver's side wheel bearing was causing the high pitched "whirring noise" and needed to be replaced. I was told to take vehicle to a body shop to repair the subframe problem. I had the front wheel bearing replaced at the auto mechanic. However, the high pitched noise that I was told was caused by the bearing, still persisted. I then decided to tow the vehicle to the body shop as upon visual inspection under my vehicle, the rear sway bar was resting on my exhaust and I felt it u safe to drive. Spoke with the body shop owner the next day, he informed me that my car was very unsafe and could not be driven because the rear subframe was so rusted and corroded, there "is practically nothing left to it." Body shop owner said that this could result in a dangerous, possibly fatal accident.
Vehicles sub frame has rusted completely through making this car unsafe and nondrivable. The vehicle was responding oddly when steering and I noted that the rear tires were at a odd angle. I took the car in for a wheel alignment whereby I was told this car was unsafe and undrivable due to a totally rusted out subframe. I had the car taken to another shop to install a new subframe which costed me $2000 to replace. This car has been babied and is very clean and looks new, I have new tires, brake pads, rotors, shocks, struts and always kept this cars maintenance up to date. It is unbeleavable how this garage kept vehicle could rust out soo badly on such a critical suspension component. I guestion that the metal used was unsatisfactory for this critical component. Luckily this part did not fail me while driving although the vehicle was starting to drift and sway unusually as it was driven which first brought my attention to the problem. I have all of my reciepts if copies are needed for verification of this failure. I also have many photos of which I attached a couple for you files. I would welcome a onsite review if needed. These Muranos are a definite road hazard and a hazard that is not easily seen or identified unless you crawl under the car to assess its condition which is why I think there should be a recall for the safety of all motorist who drive and are also on the road with this car. Thanks for your support and concern.
The rear subframe literally disintegrated. While driving on a 4 lane highway at 65 mph the rear wheels both shifted. Like many others on here my 17 year old daughter was driving and the rear wheels practically fell off of the vehicle. This should be a recall. Lives are at risk, not just for the owners of the car but this could have caused a catastrophic accident and loss of life. I have never seen a vehicle look like this that wasn't in a accident. Owners should be notified immediately. This 2007.Nissan Murano is not drivable. And worst of all the dealer wants $4900
Ther rear sway bar broke on my way home from work one day on the highway and when I looked under the vehicle to see what it was, the entire underbody is rotted out to include the subframe. This is not an isolated incident with this model vehicle. The vehicle is no longer safe to drive.
The rear wheels looked like they were pointing in the rear and it was driving weird. I took it to a mechanic and he looked it over and told me my rear subframe was rusted out and he advised me not to drive it was a un safety to drive. He said it could fall apart on
All 2007 Nissan Murano have a rear T frame that rust out and the wheeles go inwould and the frame gets so bad it can splite as your driving and Nissan never had a recall on this type of metal they used and let people drive the car which any mechanic would tell you it is not safe to drive the cost of repair on this is around 3000 dollars
