2007 NISSAN MURANO — Complaint #653074
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:SHOES/LININGS filed January 11, 2008
NHTSA complaint #653074 (ODI reference 10214477) concerns a 2007 NISSAN MURANO and was filed on January 11, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 26, 2007. The vehicle had 900 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:drum:shoes/linings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN MURANO cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:drum:shoes/linings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 NISSAN MURANO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
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
