2007 Nissan Murano complaints

IN FEBRUARY 2008 DURING AN OIL CHANGE, FLUID LEAK WAS DISCOVERED BETWEEN CVT (TRANSMISSION) AND TRANSFER CASE. ON 2/5/08 DEALER MADE FIRST ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. THEY STATED THAT SOME CVT BOLTS WERE LOOSE AND WERE TIGHTENED. VEHICLE WAS RETURN TO ME AS FIXED (MILEAGE 11303). ON 5/12/08, VEHICLE WENT BACK TO DEALER FOR SCHEDULED 15K MAINTENANCE WHERE THEY FOUND IT STILL LEAKING. NEW TRANSFER CASE WAS ORDERED AND VEHICLE WENT BACK IN FOR INSTALLATION ON 5/15/08. ON 6/10/08, DURING A 3 WEEK VACATION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY DURING BUSY COMMUTE TRAFFIC AND MADE CLUNKING NOISES. PULLED OFF HIGHWAY AND CALLED NISSAN N.A. AND TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER IN VICTORIA. DEALER DETERMINED THAT DUE TO HUMAN ERROR, PROPELLER (DRIVE) SHAFT WAS NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED DOWN DURING TRANSFER CASE INSTALL AND HAD FALLEN OFF THE CAR. VEHICLE REPAIRED AND EXPENSES REIMBURSED BY DEALER IN CALIFORNIA. IN MARCH 2009, OIL CHANGE AGAIN REVEALED TRANSFER CASE LEAKING. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE TC SEAL BUT FOUND TC DAMAGED DUE TO MISSING VENT TUBE. DEALER REPLACED WITH ANOTHER TRANSFER CASE ON 3/9/09. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE COMMON WITH AWD MURANOS. I HAVE PERSISTENTLY CHECKED FOR SIGNS OF LEAKS. OTHER OWNERS HAVE NOT BEEN AS DILIGENT AND HAVE EXPERIENCE NUMEROUS FAILURES DURING OPERATION ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A DANGER AS VEHICLE WILL STALL AND FAIL ON THE ROAD. *TR

MY NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE. THE SEAT FLOPPED AROUND AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE VERY CURVE ROAD AT THE TIME. THE SEAT DROPPED TO THE LEFT AND THE SEAT BACK WENT BACKWARD. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION; THEREFORE, CAUSING ME DRIVING HAZARD. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WANT $400 FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I AM FINDING THAT THERE ARE MANY MURANO OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE PART NISSAN USED MUST BE DEFECTIVE. I EVEN ASKED SOMEONE IN MY OFFICE THAT ALSO OWNS A MURANO AND HE TOO IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 07' NISSAN MURANO, WITH 39,000 MILES. IN THE LAST WEEK THE DRIVERS SEAT STARTED TO LEAN TO THE RIGHT WHEN I TURNED TO THE LEFT. TODAY I FELT A CRACK IN THE BACK OF THE SEAT. IN INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT A CROSSBAR HAD BROKEN AT A SEAM. NOW MY DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS AND PROBABLY IS NOT THE SAFEST IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN, I READ ABOUT 03'S, 04'S, 05'S AND NOW MY 07' HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF NISSAN WILL FIX IT YET DUE TO IT BEING OVER ON MILES FOR MY WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SUNVISOR IN MY MURANO. I KNOW IT IS REALLY COMMON PROBLEM IN MURANOS. AS YOU REALIZE IT IS SAFETY ISSUE. I HOPE IT WILL BE RECALL FOR SUNVISOR IN MURANO.*TR

BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT. SEAT ROCKS. *TR

I WAS ON HWY 10 TRAVELING FROM HOUSTON TO NM, HEADED WEST JUST PAST EXIST 138 IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAS JUST FINISHED FUELING UP MY VEHICLE AND WAS BACK ON THE HWY. I RAN OVER SMALL OBJECT IN THE ROAD THAT CAUSED A PUNCTURE IN THE BACK OF THE FUEL TANK. I WAS SIGNALED BY PASSING CALL TO PULLOVER IMMEDIATELY AS THERE WAS FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF THE VEHICLE , MAKING IT AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD & UNDRIVEABLE. I WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND MY BOYFRIEND DURING THIS INCIDENT WHO ALSO RAN OVER THIS SAME OBJECT AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIS VEHICLE (BMW). I CALLED NISSAN THE NEXT DAY ( I HAVE REFERENCE # ) & I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR 2007 REGARDING FUEL TANK PUNCTURE PROBLEMS .HE SAID THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND NOT MY MODEL YEAR. THE FUEL TANK DOES APPEAR HOWEVER TO BE EXPOSED AND APPEARS TO BE PRONE TO THIS PROBLEM . THERE ARE APPROX 17500 MILES ON THIS 2007 MURANO. THE FUEL TANK WAS PATCHED THE NEXT DAY, AND THE SUV DRIVEN TO IT'S DESTINATION WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND PARKED UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. A NEW FUEL TANK WILL BE USED TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ONE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY INSURANCE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN . THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN ON THE HWY AS IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN LOCALLY ON CITY STREETS PRIOR. THE SAME OBJECT DID NOT CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MY BOYFRIENDS VEHICLE NOR FOR THE OTHER CARS WHO RAN OVER IT AS WELL. *

THE POWER DRIVER SEAT HAS A "WEAK LINK". IT'S NOT A "TRACK" IT'S A BRACKET THAT WAS NOT DESIGNED STRONG ENOUGH AND EVENTUALLY SHEARS OFF AT TWO POINTS DRIVER SEAT IS LOOSE OR BROKEN BRACKET PART NUMBER 87450-CA684 WAS THE "OFFENDING" PART PER MY INVOICE. *TR

A 2007 NISSAN MURANO BOUGHT NEW MAY 2007AND SINCE NEW THE VEHICLE HAS MADE A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND FROM THE BRAKES WHEN IN REVERSE. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT THE CONYERS NISSAN DEALER BUT EVEN THOUGH THE ITEM WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION THEY SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT. ANOTHER INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALERSHIP THE WHOLE DAY, TO NO AVAIL. THE MOST RECENT VISIT AND AFTER ANOTHER COMPLAINT THE SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED THE SERVICE BULLETINS AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS ONE ISSUED FOR THAT PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. HOWEVER THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND DURING A RECENT ROUTINE SERVICE VISIT THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS WHICH HAD TO BE RE-SURFACED AND TURNED AT A COST OF $250.00 PLUS TAX. WE DO NOT FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CHARGE SINCE THE PROBLEM EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AT FIRST. THEY ARE CITING THE BRAKE WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRES AFTER 12000 MILES CLAIMING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR CAUSED THE PROBLEM. IF THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM FROM THE START THEN THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BECOME AN ISSUE. *TR

FOR EIGHT MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY CAR WINDOWS GOING DOWN MYSTERIOUSLY. NISSAN, MURANO, 2007, SL, TOURING PACKAGE, 4 DOORS W/HATCH. OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, SHUT OFF, LOCKED AND NO ONE INSIDE IT; IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER (HOT, COLD, DRY, WET); WHEN PARKED INDOORS OR OUTSIDE. TWO FRONT WINDOWS ALWAYS MYSTERIOUSLY GO DOWN BUT ON SOME OCCASIONS REAR WINDOWS GO DOWN TOO ALONG WITH FRONT ONES. I THOUGHT IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR, BUT HAVE RULED IT OUT AFTER HOW FREQUENT IT OCCURS. TWO MONTHS AGO IT OCCURRED WHEN PARKED OUTDOORS; A HEAVY RAIN STORM OCCURRED SOAKED THE VEHICLE AND REQUIRED PROFESSIONAL CLEANING TO REMOVE WATER. A MONTH AGO IT OCCURRED PARKED AT A BUSY MALL PARKING LOT. I WAS SHOCKED TO COME OUT AND FIND THE WINDOWS DOWN AND CAR NOT SECURE. THREE WEEKS AGO IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT PARKED OUTDOORS; IT WAS FILLED WITH DEBRIS IN THE MORNING DUE TO A WINDY NIGHT. IN THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF IT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES, WHILE IN A GARAGE. TODAY, OCTOBER 8, 2008 IT HAPPENED TWICE AND I WITNESSED THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. IT OCCURRED THE 2ND TIME JUST AS A RAIN SHOWER WAS STARTING. THE CAR HAD TO BE COVERED WITH A TARP FOR THE NIGHT TO PREVENT RAIN FROM GETTING IN IT IN THE EVENT THE WINDOWS GO BACK DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE WHEN THE WINDOWS WILL NOT STAY UP. THE PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK, CAR IS AT RISK OF BEING DAMAGED FROM INCLEMENT WEATHER INSIDE IT, VEHICLE IS AT RISK FOR THEFT OR BEING VANDALIZED DUE TO NOT BEING SE

I OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND THE DOOR LATCH SNAPPED CLOSE ON MY INDEX FINGER. I HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR LATCH TO RELEASE MY FINGER. SEVEN STITCHES, XRAYS OF THE FINGER AND A TETANUS SHOT FOLLOWED. NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE, THIS OCCURRED ON A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. *TR

BRAKES ON OUR 2007 NISSAN MURANO, WITH OVER 7000 MILES, STILL SQUEAL EXCESSIVELY IN REVERSE. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH EVENTUAL DAMAGE TO PADS AND/OR ROTORS AND SUBSEQUENT BRAKE FAILURE. AT THE DEALER FOR A SCHEDULED SERVICE VISIT, SERVICE MANAGER RECENTLY CLAIMER "ALL CARS HAVE SAME BRAKE NOISE" AND "ALL BRAKE PADS ARE THE SAME", AND "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THE BRAKE NOISES ARE NORMAL." *TR

IN FEBRUARY 2008 MY 2007 MURANO DEVELOPED A WINDSHIELD STRESS FRACTURE. IT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND INSTALLED BY A GLASS COMPANY. AS OF TODAY I HAVE ANOTHER STRESS FRACTURE OF THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

THERE WAS A DISTINCT CLICKING COMING FROM THE FRONT AREA OF THE CAR AS I ACCELERATED. WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS DEBRIS IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED ON DECEMBER 7, 2007. ON DECEMBER 22, 2007, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN COLD WEATHER, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT THEN STALLED AGAIN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. ON JANUARY 9, 2008, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND THREW THE CONTACT INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT BRUISED HER CHEST. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIMMED AND THE RADIO SHUT OFF TEMPORARILY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY LOST POWER AND WOULD ONLY SHIFT INTO LOW GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ON JANUARY 11, 2008. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SHE SMELLED A STRANGE ODOR. THE FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK TO A FULL TANK. THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO DISPLAY INACCURATE READINGS AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER ON JANUARY 20, 2008 AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED AGAIN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,900 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,200.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO THAT WE PURCHASE A FEW MONTHS AGO. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED, THERE IS A HORRIBLE SQUEAKING/WHISTLING/GRINDING NOISE THAT OCCURS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY CONSISTENTLY STATE THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION BUT NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THEM AND ONLY OFFER A SUGGESTIVE CHANGE IN BRAKE PADS AND USING A SPECIAL GREASE TO LESSEN THE NOISE FOR A FEW DAYS. THEY EVENTUALLY CHANGED OUT THE ROTORS ON THE LAST TRIP A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND TOLD US THE PROBLEM NISSAN STATES IS THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE "NISSAN BRAKE PADS" AND THERE IS TO MUCH METALLIC IN THE PADS NOW WHICH IS CAUSING THE NOISE. SINCE THAT VISIT, WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND HAD AND "AFTER-MARKET BRAKE PAD" PLACED ON THE CAR SINCE NISSAN STATES IS WAS ONLY A PROBLEM WITH THEIR MAKE OF BRAKE PAD. WE VERY QUICKLY LEARNED THIS WAS NOT TRUE! THE NOISE AND GRINDING IS WORSE. IT HAS EVEN BECOME NOTICEABLE ANYTIME YOU APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES DO NOT FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GRABBING CORRECTLY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $40K FOR A CAR AND NOT HAVE SECURITY WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I THINK THE DEALERS SHOULD REPLACE THE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

BRAKES/EXCESSIVE SQUEAKING ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE. HORRIBLE SOUND. *TR

WHILE GENTLY APPLYING BRAKES, THE VEHICLE SOMETIME LUNGES FORWARD AND THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED HARDER TO CONTINUE SLOWING AT THE SAME RATE. A NISSAN AREA TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH ME. I TOLD HIM HE WAS STOPPING TOO QUICKLY TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM. I NEVER COULD GET HIM TO TRY IT WHILE STOPPING GENTLY. IT MAY BE A SITUATION RELATED TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION DISENGAGING FROM ENGINE BRAKING AND ONLY HAPPEN ON WHILE DOWNHILL BRAKING. *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN MURANO A FEW MONTHS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH VERY LOUD SCREECHING NOISES WITH THE BRAKES. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT IN LUBBOCK, TX AND TO A DEALER IN HOUSTON. BOTH SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MURANOS AND THEY ARE HOPING FOR SOME SORT OF FIX FROM NISSAN. THEY BOTH SAID THAT TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO REPAIR INITIATED FROM THE FACTORY. I WROTE AN EMAIL TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE AND THEY DID NOT CARE TO RESPOND. SINCE THE BRAKES ARE SUCH A VITAL PART OF AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY AND THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT RIGHT I WANT TO ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. IF IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED WOULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO HOW TO RETURN THIS CAR UNDER THE "LEMON LAW" AS WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING IT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERS AND BOTH RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM BUT NEITHER CAN RECOMMEND A FIX. I DO NOT BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR WE BELIEVE IS UNSAFE. *TR

I HAVE A NEW 2007 NISSAN MURANO SL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE AND BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED, THERE IS A HORRIBLE SCREECHING/SQUEALING NOISE THAT OCCURS. IT IS A VERY LOUD NOISE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM FAR AWAY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE IS GOING FORWARD. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO WORK EXCEPT FOR THE NOISE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER COUNTLESS TIMES AND THEY SAY A FIX IS BEING WORKED ON, BUT NO RESOLUTION AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER IS LYING TO ME, OR IF NISSAN IS REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. I TOOK THE MURANO IN TO BE FIXED THINKING THEY HAD A AN OFFICIAL SOLUTION, BUT ALL THEY DID WAS INSPECT THE BRAKES. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED SOON AS I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS WHERE 06 AND 07 MURANO OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH BRAKE SQUEAL. IT IS SO LOUD MY NEIGHBORS CAN HERE IT FROM THERE HOUSES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE THE BRAKES FAIL AND SOME GETS HURT. *JB

WHEN I STOPPED COMPLETELY (I.E., STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, ETC.) I COULD MASH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 2 MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH THROUGH A PUDDLE OF ANY SIZE, WATER SPLASHES ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

ON TWO OCCASIONS WITH HEAVY WET SNOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME STUCK. BOTH TIMES IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER TO CLEAR THE ICE BUILD UP FROM UNDER THE ARM AND INSIDE THE HOOD. THIS CREATED AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATION. *JB

DUE TO CLOSE PROXIMITY (AND SAME "LEVEL") OF BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL, THE THROTTLE IS ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED WHEN TRYING TO STOP (UNDER BRAKING). THIS CAUSES THE BRAKING TO BE LESS EFFECTIVE (ENGINE WORKING AGAINST BRAKES), WITH MODERATE LOSS OF CONTROL, UNUSUAL RESULTS, AND NEAR ACCIDENTS. THIS HAS OCCURED THREE TIMES TO ME, AND HAS OCCURRED TWICE TO MY WIFE, ON THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE BOTH BEEN DRIVING MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES FOR MANY YEARS, AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO EITHER OF US BEFORE. THEREFORE, IT MUST BE AN "UNUSUAL" DESIGN CAUSE ON THIS VEHICLE.

1. BRAKES SQUEAK IN REVERSE HORRIBLY!!! ALWAYS WHEN RESTED A FEW HOURS AS WELL AS OVER NIGHT BUT NEVER IN FORWARD. 2. ONE TIME HESITATED TO START. KEPT CRANKING, AFTER 2ND ATTEMPT , STARTED, PHEW! WOULD HAVE BEEN MIGHTY EMBARASSING AT THE PARTY FOR A NEW VEHICLE NOT START! OTHERWISE I LIKE THE S.U.V... *JB

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO SE AWD. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE AND BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED, THERE IS A HORRIBLE SCREECHING/SQUEALING NOISE THAT OCCURS. IT IS A VERY LOUD NOISE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM FAR AWAY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE IS GOING FORWARD. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO WORK EXCEPT FOR THE NOISE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER COUNTLESS TIMES AND THEY SAY A FIX IS BEING WORKED ON, BUT NO RESOLUTION AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER IS LYING TO ME, OR IF NISSAN IS REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. I WILL NOT TAKE THE MURANO IN TO BE FIXED UNTIL NISSAN HAS AN OFFICIAL SOLUTION, AS I DO NOT WANT THEM RANDOMLY REPLACING PARTS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED SOON AS I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS WHERE 06 AND 07 MURANO OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH BRAKE SQUEAL. *JB
