| Manufacurer | Nissan North America, Inc. |
| Brand | NISSAN |
| Model | MURANO |
| Model Year | 2006 |
| File date | 07/02/20 |
| Component | SUSPENSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 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. |
