I have a 2006 Nissan Murano and the rear subframe is having premature heavy rust causing the rear wheels to camber inwards. I noticed that 90% or the Murano around this year are concerned and it creates a extremely dangerous road safety issue Nissan should recall these car equipped with this subframe and save lives !
UNIROYAL TIRE FAILURE - COMPLETE TIRE TREAD SEPARATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OPERATING UNDER NORMAL WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SPEED.
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.

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR IN MY NISSAN MURANO. IT WILL JUST DROP DOWN SUDDENLY. AT FIRST I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VISOR DOWN AND MOVE IT FORWARD TO HELP PROTECT MY EYES FROM THE SUN. BUT THAT DIDN'T LAST LONG SINCE IT WILL JUST FALL STRAIGHT DOWN AND BLOCK MY VIEW. WHEN IT FALLS I CAN NOT SEE THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I AM NOT A TALL PERSON BUT I WOULD HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY SMALL TO SEE UNDER THE VISOR WHEN IT FALLS IN STRAIGHT DOWN POSITION. THE OTHER DAY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY SUN VISOR SUDDENLY DROPPED STRAIGHT DOWN .IT REALLY STARTLED ME CAUSE I LOST VISIBILITY. I SCREAMED CAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER. AS QUICKLY AS I COULD I LIFTED THE VISOR AND HELD IT IN PLACE AND CONTINUED BY JOURNEY. IT WAS PRETTY NERVE WRACKING. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURED MY PASSENGERS, MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. AND WITH TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED IT'S WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY DEALER SAID THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE AROUND $500. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY YET. THIS SUN VISOR ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ALL OF US OUT THERE ON THE ROAD DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. *TR

SOLAR VISOR NOT SECURE. HAS FALLEN REPEATEDLY DURING NORMAL DRIVING. PRESENTS MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS VIEW OF ROAD WILL BE IMPAIRED WHEN VISOR FAILS TO REMAIN IN UP POSITION.
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND IN THE FALL OF 2009, STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH MY SUNVISOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST MINE, BUT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, THE SUNVISOR RANDOMLY FALLS DOWN, SOMETIMES HITTING ME (OR MY FAMILY) IN THE HEAD. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALWAYS OCCURS ON ROUGH ROAD SURFACES BUT ALSO HAPPENS ON SMOOTH HIGHWAYS, AND AT RANDOM TIMES, OFTEN STARTLING ME OR WHOEVER IS DRIVING MY CAR. WE HAVE PURCHASED & REPLACED THE CLIPS THAT HOLDS THE VISOR BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE VISOR JUST DOES NOT LOCK IN THE "UP" POSITION. WE HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IS A $350-400 REPLACEMENT PART. OTHER OWNERS HAVE INDICATED THEY WILL NOT COVER IS UNDER THEIR "GOODWILL PROGRAM" EITHER.

SUNVISOR FALLS DOWN CREATING BLIND HAZARD. *TR
MY 06 MURANO SL BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL AND STALL. AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HAD BUMPED INTO ME, BUT AFTER NOTICING THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD NOT. I TRIED TO MOVE ON WITH THE TRAFFIC. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE BY USING THE GAS PEDAL. THEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE ON ITS OWN LUCKY FOR ME THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME BEGAN TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE I TRIED TO MOVE OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. I PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT MOVE ONCE AGAIN EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE WHILE IN THE LOWER GEAR AND SECOND GEAR JUST TO GET OUT THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. THEN OUT OF KNOW WHERE IT BEGAN TO DRIVE ON ITS OWN AGAIN WITHOUT ME PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THAT ALLOWED ME TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. AGAIN LUCKY FOR ME I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY THROUGH THE STAND STILL TRAFFIC. ONCE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I PUT IT IN PARK THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP. THEN I THOUGHT OK IT WILL MOVE NOW, BUT THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE ITSELF IN REVERSE WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I CALLED MY MOTOR CLUB AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT TWO OF MY TRANSMISSION HOSES BLEW AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ITS FLUID AND IT WOULD COST ME $711 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM NOT INCLUDING ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO SAY THAT I HAVE A LEAK AT MY ENGINE RUBBER O RING. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT MY VEHICLE HAS 82K MILES. ALTHOUGH I HAVE QUITE A FEW MILES ON MY VEHICLE I HAVE MAINTAINED ALL OF MY REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AS SCHEDULED. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE VEHICLE STALLING AND DRIVING ON ITS OWN. I HAD NO WARNING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
