NHTSA complaint #11282986, filed 2019-11, 121,044 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11310433, filed 2020-02, 160,000 miles“While my vehicle was on a lift to check the alignment, the mechanic noticed that the entire back suspension frame was completly rusted out. If I had been driving and hit a bump the wrong way, I would have lost the back end suspension and lost control of my car. After looking online about this problem, there were numerous and numerous complaints about this problem. I contacted Nissan and there has been no recall on this dangerous, faulty frame.”
NHTSA complaint #11097000, filed 2018-05, 150,000 miles“We first started having issues with the ignition coils and spark plug going bad, causing our car to stop and shake. Had them replaced and a month later the car started making an ungodly rattle noise. Almost like a loud fan type noise. It gets louder the more you drive it. The several different shops that looked at it. All said the same thing, the lifters needed to be replaced and fast. And said unfortunately it was just a matter of time. Before my axle and navigation system went out mid drive. And I should contact you because this was Nissan issue to fix. …”
NHTSA complaint #11098748, filed 2018-05, 173,000 miles“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. …”
