2007 Nissan Murano

I had noticed that my car would sway when driving around a curve or when switching lanes and was going to take it to the shop to be checked out, but my back passenger tire went flat on my way home from work which was odd because they were brand new tires. When I went to change the tire I noticed that the inside of the tire was completely worn and wires were sticking out. I drove home at 35-40mph because the sway was even worse with the spare tire. I had a mechanic come to my home to check the car out because I was afraid to drive it any further. When he jacked the car up to see what was going on, upon inspection he noticed the sway bar had come loose on the passenger and driver side of the car and that the sub frame on the driver side of the car was completely rusted through. The mechanic was able to reattach the sway bar, but advised not to drive it until the sub frame could be fixed. I contacted a certified welder and had my car towed to the welder to have the frame welded back together. The certified welder was only able to partially weld the frame and stated that the car would need the frame replaced because it was too rusted out to properly fix and that it was not safe to drive. Now I’m without a vehicle even though the car is in great running condition because the frame is unable to be fixed and the cost to buy a new frame and have the work done is more than the car kbb values the car for. I don’t know why this issue hasn’t been recalled and fixed. I could have crashed and died and my children left without a mother. It’s sad to see so many complaints and nothing done about it.

I was driving in snowstorm could barely move ….Murano was swaying ….stopped waited for snow to stop….didn’t drive for the rest of winter ….in spring tried to drive noticed tires were worn out only on inside in the rear ….replaced them went get rear wheel alignment….mechanic said sway bar rusted off of sun frame ….sun frame is completely rotted out ….very dangerous going to check at thousands to fix ….I noticed that this has happened to a lot of people with this year Murano ….I don’t drive often but it only has 86000 miles on it….people were complaining online ….why hasn’t this been forced to be recalled? Do people have to die first?

To whom this may concern ,Y husband owns a Nissan Murano 2007 AWD. He uses this car as his daily as he has to travel for work from Shirley NY to Garden City NY 5-6 times a week . On Dec 10th as he was leaving home to go to work he got on the main road and his car lost control . Thank god there was no one around him and everyone was alert because his car almost caused a fatal accident . My father was able to tow it back home and I started calling mechanic shops to see who would be able to check his car and fix it asap . I finally get in touch with a mechanic and my father takes it to his shop the mechanic looked at the car and told us that his whole K Frame was rusted and came off completely . He said “ this is a common issue with Nissan Murano 2007 , I worked at Nissan dealership and we would see this all the time and it’s very dangerous you cannot drive this car” My question is if this is such a common issue . Why isn’t this recalled? Why are these car still out on the road? We have to spend insane amount of money that we don’t have to fix this issue because we can’t afford to buy a brand new car but no only that my husband could’ve almost lost his life and hurt other ones because of this issue . This seriously needs to be fixed . After doing my research I see many people complained about this not only a while back but recently and still nothing has been done . Our car is still in the shop and we have no idea when we’ll get it back due to the cost of these parts . Please do something about this .

I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano the end of June. The first time I drove it on a wet road I almost lost control, and I was driving well BELOW the speed limit. The next week I got different tires put on and took it for an alignment. The first independent service center I took it to showed me where the rear subframe on BOTH the driver and passenger were completely rusted through, and they told me I should drive the vehicle as little as possible until I got it fixed. I took it to a second independent service center to see if it could be fixed without having to be completely replaced, they told me they could not, nor could an aligment be done and that I should stop driving it immediately. I had only had the car for a month and a half before I had to park it. This is a MAJOR issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan!! I don't have the money to have the car fixed, nor can I sell it. So I'm making payments on a car that is doing nothing but collecting dust and taking up space. Unfortunately I am learning that this is a major issue with this vehicle. Nissan needs to fix it before people are killed, not just people driving the vehicle, but other motorists, and possible pedestrians. The airbag light is also on and I haven't been in an accident, nor has there been any work done to it since I bought it.
