2007 Nissan Murano wheels problems

Filed Aug 2, 2023 · Steering, Suspension · MD

Driving to work in the rain the vehicle began to sway when breaks were applied. The back of the vehicle went right and the car went left. I moved to the right lane and the vehicle fishtailed! I was totally afraid that I could drive into a ditch or be killed on the highway. I drove very slowly to the repair shop, after inspection, I needed struts but then the mechanic looked further and saw that the rear k-subframe was completely corroded and unable to be welded. The one piece was completely apart from the other. A danger to drive. Once I began to look for a replacement part, I began to see how many other Murano owners have had the same issues with the subframe rusting out. This is absolutely crazy that this part is not recalled as the part is defective in the construction of it. Nissan should be ashamed. My life and my daughter's was at risk. There are no warning lights to advise of this problem prior to its failure.

About a year ago my husband and I noticed there was alot of rust in the rear end on the sway bar and around it not to long after the sway bar looked as If it was going to come apart on the left side my husband got it to stay put for a little while but as time went on the truck just became more unsafe anytime we tried to drive it it was all over the road it's kept pulling to the left very badly we noticed that the back tires were not straight and bowing out my husband changed the front tire on the left for unrelated reasons and then the next day we was driving and the awd light started flashing we were heading home and went to take off from a red light when I hit the gas the whole rear end exploded into pieces and now we definitely can't use it the only way to is to replace the rear end. Since we bought this SUV it's been nothing but problems and money and now we have no transportation are truck was how we make money were self employed so now we can't even make money to survive or even repair the SUV. The truck has been very unsafe since day 1 we bought it and all because of the back end of it. Someone needs to recall this vehicle asap before someone gets hurt and someone needs to help me fixy vehicle or get into another one cause this is not my fault and now I'm suffering not being able to make money or survive without a vehicle my mom is disabled and has a tumor I have to be able to take her to appointments and store etc. This is not fair to us cause of a problem you guys should have taken care of a long time ago. I will keep pushing this and pursuing it I will go as high as I have to for some to acknowledge and help me. Thank you if you need pictures I will gladly send in some

The rear subframe is extremely rusted and breaking into pieces in multiple areas. The vehicle shakes upon acceleration and slowing down. Due to being lower income I cannot afford to fix the subframe (estimated to cost $400 for the the frame not including labor). Also the vacuum lines dry rotted and fell apart.

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

Bought the car 5 months ago. Was driving awesome. Brand new tires! Very well maintained with lots of paperwork stating work done on vehicle!..:well was driving it the other day with my 2 year old daughter and it started to over heat I immediately pulled over after going 60 MPH on the highway for over an hour. I'm now stuck on the highway with my toddler in the 80 degree weather when I just thought it was my radiator. The state police notice my rear 2 tires slanted , top leaning in bottom leaning out. After the car gets put on the flat bed tow I spot my rear crossmember k frame split in 2 spots! Radiator was my sign telling me my awd is acting up something happened. If I would have hit one small bump on that highway I wouldn't be here to file this complaint. This is a known issue to nissan! This needs to be fixed!!! And made sure all vehicles are safe for anyone to be in. My vehicle is 12 years old no way should that frame even be able to snap not in one but two spots on this vehicle. This is a huge safety issue that needs to be resolved. I my car overheating was a blessing because that could have been deadly. This will be brought to bigger attention because all nissan owners need to be aware and this needs to be fixed !!!!!!

When driving down the road noticed that the vehicle began to get a little shaky. When stopped and looks, notice that the back wheels we're not straight. Took to a mechanic and was informed that the lower frame was ruste and falling to pieces.. Rust was not noticed on any other part of the vehicle. Car was deemed unsafe by the mechanic.
