NHTSA Complaint #11089827 — 2009 NISSAN MURANO

TAKATA RECALL LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY MURANO WHICH SOUNDED PRETTY BAD WHEN YOU WENT OVER ANY BUMPS. ACTUALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THEY FOUND SO MUCH RUST AND CORROSION ON THE SUBFRAME. REAR PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME HAS A CRACK IN IT AND UNTIL THEY TAKE IT APART THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THERE IS MORE CRACKS, ETC SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH CORROSION. CAR ONLY HAS 112,000 MILES AND IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION OTHERWISE THAT IT LOOKS 4 YEARS OLD INSTEAD OF 9 YEARS OLD. NISSAN TECHNICIAN SAID IT ISN'T UNUSUAL IN THAT YEAR MURANO AS THEY MADE THE FRAME WITH THESE SMALL HOLES THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN WHICH IN THE NORTHEAST ALL THE WATER AND SALT GETS INTO AND SETTLES IN THERE WHICH THEN CORRODES AWAY AT THE FRAME. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE NOW IF YOU STAND BEHIND THE VEHICLE IT SLIGHTLY LEANING TO THE RIGHT AND THE REAR TIRE BOWING OUT. 4K TO FIX CAR WHICH IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND NOT WORTH IT FOR A 9 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS POOR DESIGN OF THE SUBFRAME BY NISSAN SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AS IT IS TOTALLY UNSAFE, AND I AM OUT THOUSANDS.
