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 !
The rear subframe has been rotting for some time before being discovered. The driver side sway bar link in the rear has broken. joint points are ready to break as well. Tires leaning inwards. The contact stated that the manufacturer has not provided any assistance for this vehicle or for the one they owned previously.

The subframe was noticed last night.
The rear K-frame of the vehicle is broken near the mounting for the left side of the rear sway bar. This caused the rear tires to wear excessively on the inside edges of both tires, this wear is not easily seen from the outside of the vehicle. It is fortunate that the vehicle had developed an exhaust leak and the tire wear was discovered at this time before anything more catastrophic happened, the tires were worn down to the steel belting on the inside edges had they worn anymore they would have resulted in a blowout and loss of control of the vehicle which could have resulted in a serious accident. There were no warning lights displayed. The incident was reported to the vehicle manufacturer.

The rear K frame member is rotted out causing the wheels to tilt in and seems like it-??s ready to come off. I was told it was because there-??s two holes in the front of the member causing water to get in and sit inside and rust out the frame.
Rear suspension making "banging" noise when turning. Mechanic states rear suspension cradle badly corroded resulting in passenger side sway bar being disconnected. Sway bar connection pulled away from frame leaving gap in frame. Mechanic states unrepairable due to extensive frame corrosion.
Rear Subframe split in half, without any warning. The tires inside edges were worn to the point of failing and the frame is detached from the body, creating potential crash and death.
We were driving 35 MPH, and the rear tires started squealing. We pulled over and saw that both rear tires were slanted inward and the left rear was twisted, not going straight. I tried to drive it further and the rear tires would not turn. After going a block, we parked it and got a ride home. The next day, we had it towed to the local Nissan Dealership. They inspected it and told us that the rear subframe had given out, due to rust. Thankfully, we were not going fast, as this situation made the whole rear suspension disconnected from the vehicle. I have called Nissan Customer Affairs, and they just quote what the warranty is on the vehicle. They say they can do absolutely nothing for us. Many Nissan Forums have multiple customers posting a similar problem. Who buys a car, and the frame just gives out? I am extremely disappointed with Nissan's lack of responsibility and customer service. I'd like them to offer some resolution. Ironically, we also own a '13 Nissan Murano. I am very concerned that the same thing could happen to this vehicle in the next few years. If that's the case, I'm going to sell it in a year or two. Please help us out NHTSA. Thank you for your time.
I just purchased my 2006 Nissan Murano still making payments and I noticed when I am driving it feels like the back is riding on ice. I drove it on the freeway and was so scared of the way the car felt like I had no control of the steering it felt as if it was goingvto fishtail. I did take it back to the car lot I bought it from to have someone take a look at it and they gave me the number of a mechanic. The mechanic asked if they were paying for the diagnostic and I thought thats what the warranty was for but was told the warranty only covers the tranny and engine. So they said they would get ahold of the owner and ask him if they can pay for it that was 4 or 5 days ago and still no word back. I plan on taking the car to get it checked out if I can find someone to diagnose it free I am on disability and still making payments on the car so have very little money left after all my bills.
The rear sub frame on the driver's side of my 06 Nissan Murano AWD is broken and it's cracked on the passenger side. When driving down the road you can feel the rear swaying back and forth. It's also caused my tires to flare out and wear on the inside edge of the tires.
The vehicle has a subframe that has rotted from the inside out. After doing research online, this is a common issue with most Murano's produced between the years 2004 and 2007 with around 120,000 miles. The result of this is loss of stability on the road while moving, and the potential for the rear suspension to come off of the vehicle. This also causes the car to not pass Pennsylvania state inspection regulations. Again, because this issue is caused from the metal of the subframe corroding from the inside out, it is a manufacturer's fault, no the driver/owners's. and because the majority of this make of car in these select years, shows coincidence is not to blame.
The fuel sending unit have a problem and my gas gauge is not work right and passage side door lock don't work right when lock the with the remote are door switch and when I start the vehicle up it take a long time to start up in the winter morning or when I turn the vehicle off it don't start back upright away.
We first started having issues with the ignition coils and spark plug going bad, causing our car to stop and shake. Had them replaced and a month later the car started making an ungodly rattle noise. Almost like a loud fan type noise. It gets louder the more you drive it. The several different shops that looked at it. All said the same thing, the lifters needed to be replaced and fast. And said unfortunately it was just a matter of time. Before my axle and navigation system went out mid drive. And I should contact you because this was Nissan issue to fix. And that we need to get rid of this death trap. Before it killed me and our family.
While my vehicle was on a lift to check the alignment, the mechanic noticed that the entire back suspension frame was completly rusted out. If I had been driving and hit a bump the wrong way, I would have lost the back end suspension and lost control of my car. After looking online about this problem, there were numerous and numerous complaints about this problem. I contacted Nissan and there has been no recall on this dangerous, faulty frame.
