| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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. | |||
