The frame rusted through. I was very lucky that I didn't get in an accident! Very disappointing on nissan. I drive at highway speeds I would have lost control, rear end totally collapse, wheels are tilted in and lost traction.

Hello, I am writing this because my 2006 nissan murano sl awd has significant rust damage being only 12 (almost 13) years old. I put hours of research and have found my vehicle is not alone in this. [http://www.carproblemzoo.com/nissan/murano/frame-rust-problems.php] this link shows just a few of the people who have complained of a similar issue. My argument is that nissan should have strengthened these subframes because a 12-13 year old car should not have a back end drop out of it because of salt. I live in ohio and we get about 1-3 months of snow and our cities salt a moderate amount. Other vehicle we own/had (2001 ford, 2002 ford, 2005 ford) have rust from the snow but the structure of the vehicles are intact and safe to drive. However, the nissan subframes in these murano's are failing and endanger drivers around the victim's car. Personally, I can handle a car that loses control even when cars are next to me, but this still puts myself and vehicles around me in danger. Just recently my car was driving fine and with no ice on the road (9:00pm on a 47 degree rainy day) my vehicle wobbles from the back end and veers right while I am on he highway. I advise that nissan take action and recall the 2006 nissan murano because their subframes are not built to last normal wear and tear of snow and salt that people in the north are subjected to. I understand salt is corrosive and deteriorate the cars faster but this car is a luxury car and should be built to last longer than my 2002 ford focus has. Thank you for your time. Also may I add that an independent mechanic diagnosed this while attempting to align the car and stated that the 'rusted out' subframe will break if he attempts to free the parts needed to align the rear of the car. Again, thank you for your time.
