Hi just discovered my 2005 murano has total rust on subframe to the point car unsafe to drive. Are there any recalls for repairs or this occurring frequently. This is a serious safety hazard. If it wasn't for my mechanic friend something bad could have happened or I could have caused an accident. I was driving on the highway on dry pavement and when going over bumps notice car shifting quite a bit to the point of almost losing control. When I parked my car noticed one of my rear tires was slanted inward. My mechanic saw it and said not to drive it.

Car is inoperable waiting for the part to come in for replacement for 6 days. Nissan had a recall on this model for 2003-2007 year of manufacturing, however I had not received any notice.

While driving my car the rear passenger subframe busted, caused my car to pull left and right until I could get off to the side of the road safely. I was on a highway traveling about 60mph when this happened. I have contacted nissan about the subframe problem and they had me take it to a local dealer to be evaluated. Upon evaluation the total cost of having my rear subframe repaired is $5,022.37 invoice number on this quote is q7812. Nissan has a warranty extension on the 2002-2005 altima subframe, for 13 years and unlimited miles. Campaign p5216 and service bulletin ntb05-114b. Where my concern is, that my murano has the same subframe as the altima but nissan refuses to repair my vehicle. My vehicle had the exact same issue as the altima and could have killed or severely injured me while I was on that highway.

The problem with my car was the involuntary locking of all doors without my involvement whenever I parked the car somewhere. This proved very inconvenient at times when I didn't have my car keys with me. The dealer kept the car for a few days only to tell me they could not solve the problem. They didn't even offer to contact nissan with the problem.
