2007 NISSAN MURANO Suspension Problems

When the car was in the shop for an unrelated repair, I was informed by the shop that the subframe (K frame) is rusted out and will fail "sooner rather than later". i was told the car should not be driven and is unsafe to drive. There was no indication of a structural problem otherwise. The body of the vehicle appears to be rust free.

The rear K frame broke without being in an accident or other physical damage to the car.

I had noticed that my car would sway when driving around a curve or when switching lanes and was going to take it to the shop to be checked out, but my back passenger tire went flat on my way home from work which was odd because they were brand new tires. When I went to change the tire I noticed that the inside of the tire was completely worn and wires were sticking out. I drove home at 35-40mph because the sway was even worse with the spare tire. I had a mechanic come to my home to check the car out because I was afraid to drive it any further. When he jacked the car up to see what was going on, upon inspection he noticed the sway bar had come loose on the passenger and driver side of the car and that the sub frame on the...

Upon driving in a lite snow, (.3-.5") I experienced a sudden rear end swerve. Had 2 young passengers in car, they were very scared. The car behind me took evasive action to avoid me. Then at next stop lite, the driver said the rear wheels were not parallel with each other. No warning to me. Car was taken to a service garage for inspection. Rear subframe was severely rusted. Was advised to get rid of car. Took it to another repair shop and was told that they could replace (Not repair) the rear subframe, which they did for a total cost of about $3000.00

The rear subframe is rusted through in several areas. The rear sway bar connection point on the rear driver side control arm is no longer connected due to rust. The rear tires are slanted inward causing uneven tire wear. The vehicle sways from side to side while driving on any surface that is even slightly slick. The problem was discovered while replacing the rear brakes on the vehicle.

2 months ago I Bought vehicle for $4300 and found out 3 weeks ago that the frame is broken. The car is very squirrely on wet roads- no wonder? It's very dangerous and it's going to cost more than the car is worth to fix it.

The frame of the car has had a catastrophic failure, the rear frame has broken away from the body of the car on both sides. This has caused the car to be completely unsafe and unable to be driven. The broken frame was discovered as I was doing basic maintenance on the car, putting new brakes on the rear of the car and checking low air in a tire. At that time I discovered the brand new tires on the back were worn to the core on the inside and then I saw that the frame itself had broken away from the body. I have done repairs and maintenance on my own vehicles for many years, so I am the one that discovered the broken frame not a dealer or repair shop.

Driving to work in the rain the vehicle began to sway when breaks were applied. The back of the vehicle went right and the car went left. I moved to the right lane and the vehicle fishtailed! I was totally afraid that I could drive into a ditch or be killed on the highway. I drove very slowly to the repair shop, after inspection, I needed struts but then the mechanic looked further and saw that the rear k-subframe was completely corroded and unable to be welded. The one piece was completely apart from the other. A danger to drive. Once I began to look for a replacement part, I began to see how many other Murano owners have had the same issues with the subframe rusting out. This is absolutely crazy that this part is not recalled as the part is defective in the construction of it. Nissan should...

Had previously felt some shaking in car as accelerating on roadway. Did not realize at that time the my rear subframe was rusting out. When Murano was parked in driveway noticed that the back wheels where turned inward. After inspecting car found that there was a lot of rust on my rear subframe making it unsafe to use this vehicle anymore. Cost of repairs are well over 2,000. This vehicle had just turned 100k miles when this happened.

Rear subframe rusted tire bent in word

I took my car in to get a tire alignment and the mechanic could not do it and pointed out the rusted out sub rear frame on the driver side. I took to a auto collision shop and will not touch it for liability reasons. if im driving 70 mph down the interstate and the back wheel bends in from the rust, there is going to be a serious accident. i am without a vehicle at the moment till this is resolved. There are hundreds of posts of the same problem online and suprised there is not a recall. I am the least dramatic person but i fear for the safety of my life if i keep driving the way it is if not fixed.

When i applied the brakes the car pulled to the right so I brought it to my mechanic to find out the rear control arm bracket pulled out of the sub frame near the body bushing the rest of the car is not rotten only parts of the sub frame

To whom this may concern ,Y husband owns a Nissan Murano 2007 AWD. He uses this car as his daily as he has to travel for work from Shirley NY to Garden City NY 5-6 times a week . On Dec 10th as he was leaving home to go to work he got on the main road and his car lost control . Thank god there was no one around him and everyone was alert because his car almost caused a fatal accident . My father was able to tow it back home and I started calling mechanic shops to see who would be able to check his car and fix it asap . I finally get in touch with a mechanic and my father takes it to his shop the mechanic looked at the car and told us that his whole K Frame was rusted and came off completely...

I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano the end of June. The first time I drove it on a wet road I almost lost control, and I was driving well BELOW the speed limit. The next week I got different tires put on and took it for an alignment. The first independent service center I took it to showed me where the rear subframe on BOTH the driver and passenger were completely rusted through, and they told me I should drive the vehicle as little as possible until I got it fixed. I took it to a second independent service center to see if it could be fixed without having to be completely replaced, they told me they could not, nor could an aligment be done and that I should stop driving it immediately. I had only had the car for a month and a half before I had to park...

Rear crossmember rusted in two Was told by mechanic unsafe to drive Vehickle SHAKES and SHIMMIES

Rear K sub frame is 100% rusted out. The main front K suspension brace where it meets the mainframe is completely rusted off on both sides at front, The rear main mounting studs for rear of k brace are broke off at threads from rust. Where swaybar mounts at bottom of subframe. In my 20+ career of being a mechanic I have never seen anything like it. It is clearly an issue with the steel used when manufacturing this vehicle. I have seen cars from the 60's and 70's with much better frames (from the same geographic location) I cannot fathom this extreme safety hazard has not been recalled. I purchased this vehicle on date listed and found this issue before my family rode in it and I'm grateful for my knowledge and fear for those who would climb in unknowingly and risk death to their loved ones or others...

About a year ago my husband and I noticed there was alot of rust in the rear end on the sway bar and around it not to long after the sway bar looked as If it was going to come apart on the left side my husband got it to stay put for a little while but as time went on the truck just became more unsafe anytime we tried to drive it it was all over the road it's kept pulling to the left very badly we noticed that the back tires were not straight and bowing out my husband changed the front tire on the left for unrelated reasons and then the next day we was driving and the awd light started flashing we were heading home and went to take off from a red light when I hit the gas the whole rear end exploded into pieces...

Car started making noise from the rear it’s at the shop now they say it’s not drivable frame rusted and flaking tires leaning inward

The rear frame and rear control arms are completely rusted away. We had it looked at when it did not feel right while driving and it smelled like burning rubber when driving short distances. The mechanic refused to service it because of what he saw. It was not safe, which means it is not safe to drive. The tires are tilted in at the top. It is unsafe to drive. It has @ 141k miles. You all are endangering lives if you do not recall for this issue, as I have now seen multiple folks that have also complained about the same issue. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?? Now we have a vehicle that we can not drive, because it is not safe AND we can not sell, because it is not safe. Please reach out to me on or before 8/25/22, if Nissan is willing to resolve.

I was driving my Murano when out of the blue it started swerving almost uncontrollably and my tires were squalling. I thought I got a blown tire at first and luckily nobody was around me at the time or someone could have been seriously hurt or even killed as I was barely able to get it back under control. I pulled over to the side of the road and got out of the car. I instantly noticed that both my back tires where slanted heavily in at the top and heavily out at the bottom. I called a wrecker to take my car to the mechanic garage. They told me that the k-frame / sub-frame and completely rusted through and I was luckily not to have been in an accident. They told me to be able to fix it I was looking at close to $3,000. The car is completely...

The rear subframe crack due to erosion

Car started making funny noises from rear tires and was swaying. took it to local mechanic and found out the rear subframe and suspension has rusted away. According to research this is a common problem with this SUV

The rear passenger k frame is rusted in half...almost caused me to wreck with my 2 young kids inside... very unsafe... something needs to be done about this problem...

The rear subframe is extremely rusted and breaking into pieces in multiple areas. The vehicle shakes upon acceleration and slowing down. Due to being lower income I cannot afford to fix the subframe (estimated to cost $400 for the the frame not including labor). Also the vacuum lines dry rotted and fell apart.

The rear subframe of my 2007 Nissan Murano was rotted and broken and had to be replaced! Vehicle has been repaired for $1800.00.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH on wet and snowy roads the tire would go inward. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and informed the contact that the lower control arms needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to NHTSA ID Number: 10206391 (Suspension). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 210,000.

The rear subframe was corroded through and the sway bar was detached on the passenger side and is totally detached from the car

rear subframe was corroded through and the sway bar was detached on the passenger side.

A certified mechanic inspected my vehicle for a routine check up and noticed that part of my rear subframe was completely rusted out. He refused to install new rear tires on my vehicle due to a safety concern of the rear subframe collapsing on the mechanic. I was told not to drive the nissan murano due to the rear subframe completely detaching from the vehicle. My Murano fishtails when i go over bumps or traveling on the highway and my tires are caving inward. My certified mechanic mentioned that this is a common problem with 1st generation nissan murano models. Why has this not been recalled yet? Does someone have to get killed or seriously wounded in a car accident before a recall has taken place. I challenge NHTSA to investigate these incidents because I know I'm not alone and get justice for Nissan actions. I have spent over $10,000...

Unknown- I was driving and felt the car wobble but didn’t know what it was, when I got home noticed my back wheels ware sticking out,and I was scare,I had a mechanic look at it in my driveway because I’am afraid to drive it,and the mechanic said that it was rusted and I shouldn’t drive it cause I could cause a accident,I pick up my kids every day from school and I been asking for help picking them up,please help,this is the only car I have and my only way to bring and pick up my kids from school

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who discovered a massive hole on the subframe due to excessive corrosion. The contact then took the vehicle to the dealer where it was purchased where it remained in their possession awaiting an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred him to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 83,314.

The rear subframe rusted off on drivers side. I financed this car only 10 months ago and now I can not drive it. It is very dangerous to drive, and the mechanic told me I should no longer drive it because of how dangerous it is. I have seen numerous complaints about people having the same rear subframe rusting. I can not afford to get it fixed and I’m still paying on the car. I got it for $7,500 and have put over $2,000 in it. I still have $4,500 left on it. They need a recall, this is a safety hazard for not only the driver and passengers, but for civilians walking or driving by the car, which at any moment the tire can fly off. Please recall the vehicles before someone puts in a lawsuit.

Noticed bowing of my rear tires. Looked under car and noticed a lot of rust. Spoke to mechanic who said this is a known issues with murano-in particular corrosion if the rear subframe.

REAR SUBFRAME RUSTED/ROT. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BOTH REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT ARE THROWN OFF AND WHEELS ARE BENT INWARDS. FURTHER DRIVING CAN CAUSE REAR SUBFRAME TO COLLAPSE AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND DRIVER/PASSENGER. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE IMMEDIATELY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE

K frame rust, wheels tilting not safe to drive. Rest of vehicle fine,to bad this is not a recall. Really like vehicle otherwise.

THE REAR K FRAME (SUB-FRAME) OF THE VEHICLE IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES - THE REAR TIRES SLANT OUTWARD AT BOTTOM & MY GOOD TIRES NOW SQUEEL WHILE GOING AROUND TURNS - ONE SIDE OF THE REAR STABALIZER BAR IS NOW DETACHED FROM ALL THE RUST. THIS VEHICAL IS NO LONGER SAFE TO BE DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I SEE MANY SUCH REPORTS BUT CAN FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF A RECALL BY NISSAN - WHY IS THAT ?

The metal used to make the k frame on the nissan murano has failed. It has lead to numerous problems with this year of muranos. I believe Nissan should be responsible for fixing this problem. It is a huge safety problem and could kill someone.

Had driveshaft put on and asked mechanic to put sway links on that I had purchased. He called after putting driveshaft on and stated he couldn’t put sway links on until the sub frame was fixed due to it being rusted out and broke. He took a video to show me. He said the part would have to be ordered from Nissan and taken somewhere because he doesn’t do that kind of work. I took it to another garage abd they put up on the rack abd confirmed the sub frame was broke and needed replaced.

Crossover member is severely deteriorated and sway bar has broken out of the rear crossover member on both sides. Car only has 92,000 miles on it. Lower control arm can come lose and causing the wheel to detach from car. Sway bar was dragging the ground and upon inspection, noticed the deteriorated rear crossover.

Upon driving my vehicle, my ABS and AWD lights came on and it felt as though the abs brakes were engaging, despite being on a flat, dry road driving at low speed. My car was making a very slight, difficult to hear noise coming from the rear, a knocking noise of sorts. I also began hearing a high pitched, whirring noise as well, though I could not identify the location or source. Upon inspection by a mechanic, I was informed that 1. The rear subframe was rusted and would need to be replaced as it was causing the control arms to move when they should not. 2. Front driver's side wheel bearing was causing the high pitched "whirring noise" and needed to be replaced. I was told to take vehicle to a body shop to repair the subframe problem. I had the front wheel bearing replaced at the auto mechanic....

THE REAR SUB FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED IN TWO. THE REAR SWAY BAR FELL OFF IN THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

VEHICLES SUB FRAME HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH MAKING THIS CAR UNSAFE AND NONDRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESPONDING ODDLY WHEN STEERING AND I NOTED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE AT A ODD ANGLE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHEREBY I WAS TOLD THIS CAR WAS UNSAFE AND UNDRIVABLE DUE TO A TOTALLY RUSTED OUT SUBFRAME. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO ANOTHER SHOP TO INSTALL A NEW SUBFRAME WHICH COSTED ME $2000.00 TO REPLACE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN BABIED AND IS VERY CLEAN AND LOOKS NEW, I HAVE NEW TIRES, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, SHOCKS, STRUTS AND ALWAYS KEPT THIS CARS MAINTENANCE UP TO DATE. IT IS UNBELEAVABLE HOW THIS GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE COULD RUST OUT SOO BADLY ON SUCH A CRITICAL SUSPENSION COMPONENT. I GUESTION THAT THE METAL USED WAS UNSATISFACTORY FOR THIS CRITICAL COMPONENT. LUCKILY THIS PART DID NOT FAIL ME WHILE DRIVING ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE...

THE REAR SUBFRAME LITERALLY DISINTEGRATED. WHILE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE REAR WHEELS BOTH SHIFTED. LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE REAR WHEELS PRACTICALLY FELL OFF OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. LIVES ARE AT RISK, NOT JUST FOR THE OWNERS OF THE CAR BUT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE LOOK LIKE THIS THAT WASN'T IN A ACCIDENT. OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. THIS 2007.NISSAN MURANO IS NOT DRIVABLE. AND WORST OF ALL THE DEALER WANTS $4900.00

REAR SUB FRAME IS RUSTED APART.

THER REAR SWAY BAR BROKE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT IT WAS, THE ENTIRE UNDERBODY IS ROTTED OUT TO INCLUDE THE SUBFRAME. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE.

MYA 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE CITY ROADS WHEN THE REAR SUB FRAME BROKE UNEXPECTEDLY

THE REAR WHEELS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE POINTING IN THE REAR AND IT WAS DRIVING WEIRD. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE LOOKED IT OVER AND TOLD ME MY REAR SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED OUT AND HE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT WAS A UN SAFETY TO DRIVE. HE SAID IT COULD FALL APART ON ME

ALL 2007 NISSAN MURANO HAVE A REAR T FRAME THAT RUST OUT AND THE WHEELES GO INWOULD AND THE FRAME GETS SO BAD IT CAN SPLITE AS YOUR DRIVING AND NISSAN NEVER HAD A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF METAL THEY USED AND LET PEOPLE DRIVE THE CAR WHICH ANY MECHANIC WOULD TELL YOU IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE COST OF REPAIR ON THIS IS AROUND 3000 DOLLARS

REAR STABILIZER BAR BROKE OFF THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE. UPON TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR CRADLES WERE ERODED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A DRIVING HAZARD.
