| Description of the problem | 2009 nissan with 174,220 miles noticed steering wheel was not aligned and back wheels were not lining up. Also, when driving on the highway the car wants to sway to the left or right or both when a bump is hit in the road. The murano was taken to nissan dealer to have the car checked and they stated that the k-frame on the rear was rusted and broke completely in half causing my tires to flare out and worn to the belts on the inside of both rear tires. I have researched and found many complaints on 2005-2010 murano's with the same issue. This is surely a recall that the nissan manufacturer would need to replace. Now i will need the full k-frame replaced, new exhaust and tires. |
