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.

Please recall electrical system, started out the doors not locking and trunk wont open then inside lights would not come on. I put my steering wheel down lower and when I did the car would not start. The inside lights come on when the car wont start then when I move steering wheel back up the lights go back off and the car will start again. The all wheel drive lock button will not work and the all wheel drive kicks in and out on it's own while driving the vehicle. While my children and I were on our way to town the vehicle started to lose power and the steering wheel was hard to handle then the all wheel drive locked in and out and then power was back. It was scary and it almost caused me to crash and people to crash into me from sudden speed reduction. The mechanics I take my vehicles to told me I'll have to take it to a Nissan dealership to get the electrical system taken care of or replaced.

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 contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that a power steering fluid leak was initially discovered on her vehicle and the power steering hose was replaced. The contact then stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where she was informed that the power steering pump was defective and needed to be replaced. The failure persisted after the repair and the vehicle was later diagnosed by the same dealer with a defective camshaft and catalytic converter. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

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 !!!!!!

TAKATA RECALL MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION WANTS TO CUT OFF OR WON'T DRIVE. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WASN'T WANTING TO DRIVE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO MY RIGHT. THEN AS I ENTERED THE PARKING LOT THE CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY BY ITSELF AND I COULDN'T USE MY BREAKS OR STEERING WHEEL. I ENDED UP RUNNING IT INTO A CURB TO BE ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2005-2007 NISSAN. I LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT SAYS THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VECHILE BUT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A BABY AND DON'T NEED MY NISSAN SHUTTING OFF AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE I HAVE MY BABY IN THE CAR.
