Noticed severe negative camber on the rear wheels at ~225k miles. Marks Auto Svc, Rockford, IL confirmed the rear k-subframe had rusted all the way through from the inside-out. The frame had completely separated at two places on each side near the wheels - SEVERE SAFETEY HAZARD!!!!! 1. Website forums indicate many consumers conclude this problem is due to inferior design (hole in frame allows water to condensate/pool & rust the frame from the inside-out). 2. I conclude this part failed prior to the standard benchmark-life of automotive parts of 20-years. 3. A similar subframe design used on the 2002-05 Atimas & Maximas - produced a SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN - Ref. NTB05-114c.

The rear sub frame is rusted out and needs to be replaced. There are hundreds of complaints on the same issue with the sub frame rusting out on these murano models and making the vehicle unsafe to drive. Why was this issue never addressed with a recall when the sub frame is obviously defective with rusting out. Nissan should replace these defective parts at their expense, not mine....

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.

Found rear sub frame is rotted to a point that renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. Dealer quote to replace rear sub frame and control arms and mounts is approximately $4000. Dealer requires full "customer pay" despite this rotting problem being a repair "campaign" on other nissan models with same issue.
