2006 NISSAN MURANO Structurebody Problems

THE FRAME RUSTED THROUGH. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT! VERY DISAPPOINTING ON NISSAN. I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL, REAR END TOTALLY COLLAPSE, WHEELS ARE TILTED IN AND LOST TRACTION.

EXTREME RUSTING ON FRAME, BEING ADVISED THAT THIS 12 YEAR OLD MURANO WOULD NOT EVEN PASS NEXT INSPECTION DUE TO THE RUST.

HELLO, I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST DAMAGE BEING ONLY 12 (ALMOST 13) YEARS OLD. I PUT HOURS OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MY VEHICLE IS NOT ALONE IN THIS. [HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/NISSAN/MURANO/FRAME-RUST-PROBLEMS.PHP] THIS LINK SHOWS JUST A FEW OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED OF A SIMILAR ISSUE. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE STRENGTHENED THESE SUBFRAMES BECAUSE A 12-13 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE A BACK END DROP OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF SALT. I LIVE IN OHIO AND WE GET ABOUT 1-3 MONTHS OF SNOW AND OUR CITIES SALT A MODERATE AMOUNT. OTHER VEHICLE WE OWN/HAD (2001 FORD, 2002 FORD, 2005 FORD) HAVE RUST FROM THE SNOW BUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLES ARE INTACT AND SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, THE NISSAN SUBFRAMES IN THESE MURANO'S ARE FAILING AND ENDANGER DRIVERS AROUND THE VICTIM'S CAR. PERSONALLY, I CAN HANDLE...

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME SHAKY AND WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL NEARLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO GO OFF THE ROAD. DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TOOK VEHICLE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME HAD NEARLY RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH.

BROKEN SEAT FRAME - DRIVERS SEAT (LEFT REAR) WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A POP, THE NEXT THINK I KNEW THE SEAT & I WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT WOBBLING BACK AND FOURTH. CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED..

SUBFRAME RUST THROUGH AND BROKE, CAUSING LOST CONTROL OF CAR. CAR BECAME DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE, WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS DUE TO THE BREAK. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR, OR SIMILAR YEARS, HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE. BRAKE OF SUBFRAME WAS WHILE MOVING ON HIGHWAY, CAUSING DRIFT OF CAR WITH NO CONTROL OF BACK WHEELS, PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHER CARS IN DANGER.
