THE REAR SUBFRAME LITERALLY DISINTEGRATED. WHILE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE REAR WHEELS BOTH SHIFTED. LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE REAR WHEELS PRACTICALLY FELL OFF OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. LIVES ARE AT RISK, NOT JUST FOR THE OWNERS OF THE CAR BUT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE LOOK LIKE THIS THAT WASN'T IN A ACCIDENT. OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. THIS 2

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO'S DIFFERENTIAL JUST FAILED ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS WITH THREE KIDS ON A HIGH WAY AND IT WAS PITCH DARK. THE ONLY THING I DID THAT DAY WAS TO CHANGE MY REAR TYRES AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS MIGHT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO IT. UPON RESEARCH FOR A NEW PART, I REALIZED THAT QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR MURANO AND I AM NOT SURE IF THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAD AT LEAST 3 ACCIDENTS IN MY MURANO WHEREBY I HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ALMOST STOPPED OR STOPPED, BUT THE ACCELERATOR KEPT ON PUSHING THEREFORE, HITTING THE NEXT CAR. BECAUSE IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS AND I AM NOT CARELESS, I FEEL IT COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MINOR IDLE FLUCTUATION OR POOR ACCELERATION DESCRIBED IN NISSAN MURANO MODEL 2007-RECALL NOTIFICATION. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT RECOURSE I MAY HAVE OTHER THAN JUST FIXING MY CAR; WHICH I INTEND TO DO. *TR
