Have been driving Murano thinking only needed 4 wheel alignment. Rear wheels as I was told some time ago looked like to tow in I think you call it was off, leaning in. Took to garage, mechanic stated, k- frame completely rusted in half on both sides. Stabilizer bar just dangling. Stated it's a wonder I had not been killed. Said from the look I had been driving it for quite some time in this condition. Currently has 175k miles on it. I bought in 2019, had 161k on it then. Bought up north. Vehicle is in perfect shape otherwise. Now, I have nothing. He said possible I could have bought that way. I see many, many of these frames rusting through too early. Why would Nissan avoid this issue. I will put date discovered, but I believe date was years sooner as I only drive in local area.

Took my car in for a front end alignment and wobbling in the rear when hit bumps. Informed that the rear subframe is completely corroded and “rotted out”. Quoted repair cost of $3900, and the car is deemed unsafe to drive in its current condition.

The frame has rusted out of the vehicle at only 156,000 miles. It is unsafe as the rear suspension and sway bars are no longer connected to the frame. This causes unsteady movement and swaying when in motion endangering the driver and others on the road. The problem was confirmed by a professional mechanic. I have not had it inspected by the manufacturer nor another party. There were no warning lamps only the onset of severe instability regarding the suspension.

Both rear tires suddenly began wearing severely inside. Both were bald on the inside. The car ha 100,284 miles and the tires have approximately 4,000 miles. I had a 4 wheel alignment performed and was told the rear subframe was too rusted to perform a complete alignment. I fear it will it will crack and lose control. Based upon other complaints on the rear subframe it is clear the material used was inferior.

approximately 1 month ago my Nissan began shaking when the speedometer reached 20-40 miles per hour. the shaky would get bad enough to where I was not able to keep it straight and would have to pull off the road. this went on for about 1 and half weeks. My husband noticed that the tops of the back tires were tilted inward. when he inspected my car he found that the rear sub-frame had broke. we also discovered that this is something that is not normal due to wear and tear. failure of Nissan to rust proof the sub-frame is to blame. I noticed several complaints from other owners of Nissan Murano's 2006-2007 on the internet. one of those were able to get a 'settlement' from Nissan, but did not detail how they went about doing that. i called Nissan customer service and all I got was there is nothing they can do because of the age of my car, even though i explained to her that this is something that could have been prevented when the car was manufactured and was due to negligence on Nissan's part. we have not taken my car to a dealer or service center as my husband, who use to race cars, is very familiar with cars. my car that has always been so dependable and is now junk, as it will cost more to repair it than what it's worth.
