SERVICE BRAKES
The brake pedal suddenly feels spongey out of nowhere. The car stops when the pedal hits the floorboard of the car. This has happened to me a couple of times now ever since I had my car. I have took it to my local pep boys but all they did was replace my brake pads. It fixes the problem for a couple months but it ends up happen again. There are no warning lights showing up for my ABS or any of the braking system.

POWER TRAIN
When stepping on the gas after stopping at a stop light or similar situation, the car acts like it's stalling for 2 - 3 seconds before finally going forward. It's intermittent. I've been told by the Nissan dealership that when they did the diagnostic check, that the error code P0868 came up long enough to be caught for the report but did not stop at that error code. This error code says it's "Fluid pressure low". My Nissan advisor said that it is not a hard failure because it did not stop at this error. However, they do recommend that the transmission be replaced. I have been reading a lot online about other Murano owners having this similar issue or an issue with their transmission. I had it at the dealership twice before this last result I mentioned above.

SUSPENSION
the rear subframe is rusted all the way through from the inside out. I work at Toyota Motors Manufacturing Indiana and I happen to work in the are that builds subframes for siennas and highlanders if toyota had a known issue such as this with such a safety concern there would for sure be a recall. This was discovered from a knocking noise in the rear of the vehicle we elevated the rear and removed the passenger side rear tire and discovered all the rust falling out using a screwdriver to check around it would pass completely through the subframe.

SERVICE BRAKES
My car’s ABS failed to turn on even when braking from a far enough distance in the snow and caused me to rear end a car at 5 mph. I was holding down the brakes from 20 cars away and it felt like my brakes were unresponsive and all the way to the floor as my car continued sliding. Nissan’s voluntary recall was performed of flushing out the brake fluid and replacing it with the DOT 4 and it still failed as a working remedy for its defective ABS from what I have read from other owners. I love my car but might have to sell due to feeling unsafe driving in the snow. Please fix this Nissan before another accident occurs due to your defective ABS.

SUSPENSION
Noticed a rattle in right rear of vehicle. Upon further investigation the k frame is rotted into two pieces where a body mount travels thur the structure steel frame. The corrosion is vast on this steel frame. There have been other complaints on various years same models. This is a very dangerous thing to break during driving because the entire wheel support connects to the corroded frame member. I have read on the internet that this is a issue with the k frame. The vehicle is well cared for and this repair is something I think should be a safety recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After multiple repairs the brake light and battery light continue to come on. My vehicle turned off while driving. I believe it's a faulty voltage regulator for the alternator. This seems to be a common issue for my type vehicle.

SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the brake pedal would intermittently depress to the floorboard without warning. The contact initially had a family member replace the brake master cylinder; however, the failure returned the following day. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who recommended that the ABS actuator be replaced. The contact then called the manufacturer and was informed that there was a recall on her vehicle for a brake fluid flush, and the vehicle was towed to a dealer. A diagnostic test was performed, and a brake fluid flush was also performed on the vehicle. The failure returned soon after the repair. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that she had to pay a diagnostic fee to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,300.

SUSPENSION
The rear subframe of my 2010 Nissan Murano completely rusted out prematurely and broke when I was driving on a highway. I could not control the car. I almost crashed. The left wheel folded under the car. I had to have the car towed to the repair shop. The car was put on a lift. The rest of the metal on the under carriage is only mildly rusted. The rear subframe, however, is totally rusted out. I could have been killed. Nissan knows about this problem. Obviously inferior metal was used to make the rear subframe. Nissan should have a recall for this problem. It is a safety issue.
