VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While driving with cruise control set at 80, I passed a vehicle and as I began to return to the driving lane from the passing lane, the control panel beeped and a warning "front radar unavailable due to obstruction" appeared and the vehicle immediately decelerated drastically and the cruise control was disengaged and disabled. I had to react quickly to avoid a rear collision by accelerating rapidly. There were no vehicles in front of me or on either side. The cruise was disabled for about 4-5 minutes. This happened a total of 12 times in a 5. 5 hour trip. I googled the problem and realized that it was ongoing for many years and involved a recall on other vehicles, but not mine.This is dangerous and should be a recall part before someone gets killed or seriously injured.

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.

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.

POWER TRAIN
Here is my experience: I purchased a 2015 Nissan Murano new in July 2015. My CVT transmission failed and was replaced under warranty by Nissan in June 2019 at 52,000 miles. Today 11-29-21, at 62,100 miles, my transmission failed again due to the transmission oil/cooler/radiator assembly failing to cause the cooling fluid and the transmission fluid to mix, resulting in having to replace the Transmission, Radiator, and associated assemblies for $6,600!

SUSPENSION:SUBFRAME/MOUNTING BRACKET
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the rear subframe detached from the vehicle due to rust. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic however, a diagnostic test was not performed. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. Update by owner: Car was repaired by a local shop at a cost of nearly $2000. Nissan America Customer Service stated this is their first complaint regarding this rear subframe (crossmember) failure. This was a false statement from Nissan consumer stated she knew of others who have filed formal complaints regarding the failure of this component. Since purchasing this vehicle, consumer heard these components have a high failure rate in regions where road salt is used in winter months, which comprises the majority of the U.S. Nearly a total loss of control occurs when this component fails due to gross misalignment of rear tires after failure, and my experience was fortunately at 20 mph.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, ENGINE
I am having transmission issues. The car vibrates when I am driving and accelerating between 15-50MPH. I also have water coming in my vehicle and causing mold from the passenger side. I have taken the car to 3 dealers and I have contacted Nissan. There has not been a resolution yet. I had the transfer case repaired twice within less than a month at a Nissan dealer. The vibrating/growling noise is still present. I simply want my car to be fixed

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The vehicle loses power at random times. I had my mechanic take a look at it who said it was my alternator. So, I brought a brand-new alternator and had him put it on and within 2 days it did it again. So, I took it back to my mechanic who said it was the alternator and the battery. So again, I brought another alternator and now a battery. 3 days later it lost power after taking my children to school, now no one knows what is going on and why it keeps losing power.
