NHTSA Complaint #11064938 — 2004 NISSAN MURANO

I CONTACTED NISSAN ON 12/20/17 AFTER I DROVE MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO (PURCHASED 8/18) AND I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AS MY SON AND I WERE ON A COLLEGE TOUR. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND WHEN I SHOWED HIM THE PROBLEM, HE WONDERED HOW I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE BACK WHEELS WERE "TOED" INWARD. HE PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND TOLD ME THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS DISINTEGRATED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 124,000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY HAD ME TAKE THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT. IT WAS AS MY MECHANIC HAD SAID, THE REAR SUB FRAME WAS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED BY RUST, UN-DRIVABLE. THE FRONT SUB FRAME IS TOTALLY FINE, NO RUST. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND FROM ONE WEBSITE I HAVE FOUND APPROXIMATELY 10 OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEIR CARS; SOME THE SAME YEAR AND SAME MILEAGE. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A STRANGE COINCIDENCE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BEYOND "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM AND THE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT IS HAPPENING. IF THE SUB FRAME WOULD HAVE COLLAPSED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY SON, MYSELF AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHO ELSE ON THE ROAD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED BY CAR PARTS FLYING ALL OVER THE ROAD. I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR BUT THE MECHANIC KNOWS AND IT HAS TAKEN HIM A MONTH TO FIX MY CAR (STILL DON'T HAVE IT BACK) AND A 3500.00 PRICE TAG ON THE REPAIRS.
