2010 Nissan Murano

Noticed a rattle in right rear of vehicle. Upon further investigation the k frame is rotted into two pieces where a body mount travels thur the structure steel frame. The corrosion is vast on this steel frame. There have been other complaints on various years same models. This is a very dangerous thing to break during driving because the entire wheel support connects to the corroded frame member. I have read on the internet that this is a issue with the k frame. The vehicle is well cared for and this repair is something I think should be a safety recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the brake pedal would intermittently depress to the floorboard without warning. The contact initially had a family member replace the brake master cylinder; however, the failure returned the following day. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who recommended that the ABS actuator be replaced. The contact then called the manufacturer and was informed that there was a recall on her vehicle for a brake fluid flush, and the vehicle was towed to a dealer. A diagnostic test was performed, and a brake fluid flush was also performed on the vehicle. The failure returned soon after the repair. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that she had to pay a diagnostic fee to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,300.

The rear subframe of my 2010 Nissan Murano completely rusted out prematurely and broke when I was driving on a highway. I could not control the car. I almost crashed. The left wheel folded under the car. I had to have the car towed to the repair shop. The car was put on a lift. The rest of the metal on the under carriage is only mildly rusted. The rear subframe, however, is totally rusted out. I could have been killed. Nissan knows about this problem. Obviously inferior metal was used to make the rear subframe. Nissan should have a recall for this problem. It is a safety issue.

WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, 35-50 MPH, DRY, GOOD, SMOOTH, STRAIGHT ROAD CONDITIONS, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES STARTED BEING APPLIED. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR PRIOR MODEL YEARS (18V916000) AND SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEARS OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO ABS PROBLEMS. PART OF THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE DOT3 FACTORY-SPECIFIED BRAKE FLUID SPECIFIED FOR MY VEHICLE WITH DOT4 BRAKE FLUID DUE TO CORROSION OF BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT IT IS IN FACT AN ABS PROBLEM, AS I CAN NOW SKID THE TIRES DURING HEAVY BRAKING, AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PUMP DOES NOT ACTIVATE. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS ABOUT 75 PERCENT OF THE DISTANCE TO THE FLOOR BEFORE ANY BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE OCCURS.

MY VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES POWER WHEN GOING UPHILL OR ACCELERATING. FOR EXAMPLE, TWO DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING UP STEEP HILLS IN THE TN MOUNTAINS AT LESS THAN 20 MPH. WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I SMASHED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT INTO PARK, AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AS NORMAL. SOMETIMES THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.
