| Description of the problem | The rear sub frame has rusted so much that the passenger side control arm for the wheel is loose, and the drivers side control arm broke away. There is surface rust on other components under the vehicle, but this part of the frame has completely deteriorated and renders the vehicle unusable unless the subframe and control arms are replaced. Nissan consumer affairs will not address the problem other than to state that the vehicle is out of warranty. However, online research and information from my auto repair shop tell me that this is a common problem with murano's. |
