I WAS BACKING UP AND I HEARD A LOUD THUMP SOUND MY CAR STOPPED FOR A MINUTE AND I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO MY MECHANIC HE PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND TOLD ME THAT MY REAR CRATER SUB PLATE HAD CRACKED THAT HOLDS MY WHEELS TOGETHER ON BOTH SIDES CRACKED AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET A COUPLE PEOPLE BLEW THE HORN AT ME AND TOLD ME THAT MY WHEELS WERE TILTED TOWARDS THE INSIDE OF MY CAR AND THAT MY OUT OF WHEELS WAS OFF THE GROUND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN BECAUSE THIS IS LIKE MY SECOND NISSAN THAT I OWN IN I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SUBFRAME . IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE USING VERY CHEAP METAL FOR THIS SUBFRAME THE SAD THING ABOUT IT I LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY A NEW CAR OR MONEY TO EVEN FIX THIS FRAME IS VERY SAD THAT THE CONSUMERS AT A. OF TIME HAVE TO BE STUCK WITH THIS TYPE OF REPAIR THIS CAR IS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD IS NO WAY THIS METAL SHOULDN'T TRUST LIKE THIS I AM CALLING NISSAN OUT TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE FRAMES THAT THEY ARE PUTTING ON THEIR CARS

WAS DRIVING 50KM/H WITH MY GRANDSON IN THE CAR ON A SIDE STREET WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THEN SOMETHING DRAGGING ON THE GROUND, I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT TO FIND THE CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN THE SUBFRAME AND HIT THE GROUND. THANKFULLY MY SELF AND MY GRANDSON WERE OK AND THE COMPRESSED SPRING FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION DID NOT COME OUT OF ITS HOLDER.

RECENTLY MY WIFE HAD BEEN INFORMING ME OF A PROBLEM ON OUR 2007 NISSAN MURANO WAS UNSTABLE WHEN BEING DRIVEN, AND MAKES LOUD CLUNKING NOISES WHEN TURNING AND REVERSING AT LOW SPEED. I DROVE THE SUV MYSELF ON DECEMBER 2ND, AND WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION IT WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP OR MANHOLE COVER. AT THAT TIME THE REAR END OF THE CAR FISHTAILED, AND I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE REST OF THE DRIVE HOME THE VEHICLE FELT UNSTABLE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A DRY, SMOOTH, AND STRAIGHT ROAD. UPON ARRIVING HOME, ABOUT 1 MILE FROM WHERE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS CAMBERED INWARDS ABOUT 10-15 DEGREES. I CONTACTED MY MECHANIC BY PHONE, AND HE TOLD ME TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE IT TOWED TO HIS INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION. WHEN HE LIFTED THE VEHICLE OFF THE GROUND HE DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. HE SENT ME THE ATTACHED PICTURE, AND SAID THE VEHICLE'S SUBFRAME HAS 'EXTREME' RUST WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR ONLY BEING 12 YEARS OLD, AND THAT IT IS 'NOT SAFE TO DRIVE'. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES OF OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE FOR STATES THAT USE ROAD SALT IN THE WINTER. CURRENTLY THERE IS A REPAIR CAMPAIGN GOING ON WITH NISSAN ALTIMA CORROSION ISSUES, AND I AM CONCERNED MANY OTHER MURANO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN, AND OPENED A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THEM. THE REFERENCE NUMBER IS 38078953 NISSAN SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR CAMPAIGNS WITH THIS 2007 NISSAN MURANO FOR CORROSION.
