SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Recently my 2007 Nissan Murano was dragging a little on slow speeds. I checked the wheels and found the driver's side rear brake had more brake dust then the other side. I pulled the wheels and found that the brake caliper was froze. I bought two "new" calipers and rotors and replaced them. I then used an Air driven suction device to replace all the fluid in the system and bleed the air out of the system. When I started it up the brake pedal was very spongy so I brought to the local tire Kingdom about 1/2 mile away and let them bleed it out. They stated that the master cylinder was now no good. I purchased a "new" master cylinder installed it, and re-bleed the system. The pedal was still dangerously spongy and low so on 06/14/202I the vehicle to the local Nissan dealer. After a few days they stated that the "ABS Brake Actuator" was not functioning. I questioned why the ABS warning light didn't come on and they didn't know. The dealer said the part was no longer available new so hey offered to get one from LKQ scrap yard for $780.00 and for $220.00 more it would be covered for a year. I looked into the issue and found that the 2009 Murano's were recalled for this issue, so I inquired what year was the part coming out of. They didn't know so I got one on my own from the exact same vehicle and brought to them to install. A few days later they stated that the new "Master Cylinder" was defective. I went back to Nappa Auto and bought another one and gave to them to install and re-bleed the system. My question is a vehicle with an ABS warning light a Brake System warning light and even just a Engine check light never came on, why not? The dealer has no answer for me and I am concerned that this will happen again and possibly at a higher rate of speed. Can you investigate this incident for me? Thank you for your time and consideration.

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. However, the high pitched noise that I was told was caused by the bearing, still persisted. I then decided to tow the vehicle to the body shop as upon visual inspection under my vehicle, the rear sway bar was resting on my exhaust and I felt it u safe to drive. Spoke with the body shop owner the next day, he informed me that my car was very unsafe and could not be driven because the rear subframe was so rusted and corroded, there "is practically nothing left to it." Body shop owner said that this could result in a dangerous, possibly fatal accident.

Purchased vehicle about 8 months ago, tires needed replaced badly a few weeks ago. During the change I was advised vehicle needed a wheel alignment due to tires going inward. Well today after picking up vehicle I was informed my rear sub frame of vehicle is severely corroded and unsafe to drive, rear body bushings are basically holding up by nothing. After visiting website this seems to be a common finding this year. My thoughts would be they stop selling this year and manner of vehicle due to safety concerns

ON MARCH 14TH, I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN MURANO FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. I WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BOTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE THROTTLE BOTTLE THE MURANO FELT LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER WHEN I ACCELERATED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ON. CONTACTED THE SELLER AND HE SAID THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES OR ANYTHING. I FOLLOWED UP WITH GETTING THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, TRANSMISSION FUEL AND FILTER CHANGED, A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND AN OIL CHANGE. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH UP UNTIL EARLY APRIL OF 2021. THE VEHICLE NOW SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S IN LIMO MODE. NO MECHANIC WANTS TO WORK ON IT AND I FEEL COMPLETELY CHEATED AND AT A TOTAL LOSS. VADDEN NISSAN CONSTANTLY HAS AN EXCUSE NOT TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE AND AT THIS POINT, IT'S JUST VERY FRUSTRATING. I'VE SPEND THOUSAND OF DOLLARS ON THIS VEHICLE ONLY FOR ME TO STILL BE AT SQUARE ONE. I'M ALSO AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY BEING IN TRAFFIC AND HAVING TO TURN ON MY SAFETY HAZARD LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE NORMAL IF I RESTART IT BUT GOES RIGHT BACK INTO LIMP MODE.

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 WAS STARTING TO DRIFT AND SWAY UNUSUALLY AS IT WAS DRIVEN WHICH FIRST BROUGHT MY ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECIEPTS IF COPIES ARE NEEDED FOR VERIFICATION OF THIS FAILURE. I ALSO HAVE MANY PHOTOS OF WHICH I ATTACHED A COUPLE FOR YOU FILES. I WOULD WELCOME A ONSITE REVIEW IF NEEDED. THESE MURANOS ARE A DEFINITE ROAD HAZARD AND A HAZARD THAT IS NOT EASILY SEEN OR IDENTIFIED UNLESS YOU CRAWL UNDER THE CAR TO ASSESS ITS CONDITION WHICH IS WHY I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL MOTORIST WHO DRIVE AND ARE ALSO ON THE ROAD WITH THIS CAR. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CONCERN.

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

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY (IN MIDDLE OF NOWHERE)CAR STARTED JERKING/SHAKING/VIBRATING & CLUNKING/BANGING SOUND, FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER MILLIONS OF NAILS. CAR COULD BARELY DRIVE AT 40 MPH IN SLOW LANE W/HAZARDS UNTIL I COULD GET TO SAFETY AN HOUR AWAY. CAR CANNOT GO ABOVE 5 MPH TO GET IT HOME. RPM GOING WACKY NO POWER WHEN STEP ON GAS BUT ENGINE REVS. ENGINE LIGHT ON STEADY THEN FLASHES WHEN CAR GETS GOING AT ONLY 5 MPH (CANNOT GO FASTER) BUT I FINALLY GOT THE CAR HOME & I WAS SAFE. NOW CAR CAN'T BE DRIVEN & MUST BE TOWED TO A GARAGE. CAR HAS OIL LEAK & I REPLACED THE OIL PAN ALONG WITH FAULTY ALTERNATOR WHICH KILLED BATTERY JUST 2 MONTHS AGO. BOUGHT CAR USED 2/1/20. HAS 110,000 MILES NOW. ENGINE HOT/SMELLS HOT BUT TEMP GAUGE DOESN'T REFLECT THAT. I WAS NEARLY KILLED ON FREEWAY BY PASSING TRACTOR TRAILERS & TRAFFIC HAVING TO SPEED BY ME RECKLESSLY WHEN IT HAPPENED TO AVOID COLLISION-NO WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS & SCARY. I SEE THERE ARE NEARLY 600 OTHER CASES EXACTLY LIKE THIS!!! SINGLE MOM WITH 2 KIDS IN CAR - VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT SOUNDS BY READING COMPLAINTS THAT IT'S THE TRANSFER CASE?
