Replying to: drew08 (Jul 02, 2008 9:14 am) I'm sorry that is happening to you. I purchased a 07 nissan murano in October with 12,000 miles on it and it started happening immediately after I brought it home. I have had the car checked out by 2 mechanics for opinions and Nissan. Nissan told me they "fixed it " but it had become worse in the last few days.   Did you say you lived in Florida? When I parked in the garage overnight it seemed to help. Can the humidty have anything to do with this? I'm at my wits end with this car and and not sure what else to do. Have you tried reporting this to the local problem solvers in your area?

I have an 07 with the very loud squeek in reverse. It's the craziest thing I've encountered over the 30+ years I've bought new cars (and I've bought plenty of new cars.) The dealership has worked on it twice resulting in a temporary fix with the noise coming back fairly quickly. I've talked to the dealership several times with their answer is that Nissan was working on it. I've spoken with Nissan's official customer service who (after quite a bit of talk) gave me the same answer. . .there is yet a solution to the issue. . .but I will be notified as soon as they find one.     It appears from reading here the problem has carried over to the 2009 model. It's too bad. I like the car. It does everything very well; but, that brake noise is a deal breaker for me. It is increditably annoying. I've given up hope they will find a fix (wondering if anyone is even looking for one) and learning to back up without using the brakes. Replies to this message: george78 (Sep 15, 2008 3:52 pm)

Replying to: dardson1 (Jul 04, 2008 7:05 pm) I have an '07 and had the problem worked on in May. Everything was great for a period of time but the "squeal" came back and it is now twice as loud as it used to be and very annoying and embarrassing. When it first happened after the fix, I was shocked at how loud it was. I haven't even bothered calling Nissan back because I don't think they have a fix for it. If they did, they wouldn't still be having this problem through all the years. I find it is most likely to happen when it's humid or has been raining. I live in a condo with a common parking area for the group of buildings I am in and I must say I feel very obvious when I leave in the morning. I've tried a few tricks but nothing seems to work. This and the lingering fear that the transmission is flawed lessen the driving experience on an otherwise enjoyable ride.
#20 of 25 my latest solution by dardson1 Sep 24, 2008 (7:16 pm)
I have found the squeak repair will last 3-4+ months. I've been taking it in every 4-6 months and asking for a repair which seems to work for another limited time. I'll be curious to see their response after 3yr. 36k bumber to bumper expires. Since the issue has never been resolved in any thing but a temporary fix, will they continue to honor my request to fix the problem? It's a heck of a pisser, but I'm hoping my ongoing request for a fix will keep them liable for the issue beyond the bumper to bumper warranty because the problem has essentially never been meaningfully repaired.

#21 of 25 Murano brake problem by ansett Sep 25, 2008 (8:12 am)
New 2007 Murano. Like most the brakes were squealing bad in morning and at times at slow speed in peak traffic. Back to Nissan many times.Complained to Nissan service at place of purchase. I was advised that it was normal and that there was nothing could be done. I advised i wanted to lodge an official complaint with Nissan Head office about the vehicle. 6 days later i recvd a call from HQ. I told them of the problem. They advised there was very little could be done except maybe work something out with service manager at place of purchase. Took vehicle back. I was told nothing could be done, but they would take the vehicle for a day or more and check it out. They Machined Disks, replaced Pads, greased between plates, and rebent spring clamps as pads were moving. To this day i have had not repeat of the problem. All of this was done at their expense. I have also seen at another post that the fitting of Ceramic Pads stopped the problem. Hope this can help others who are as dissapointed as i was.

Replying to: dardson1 (Sep 24, 2008 7:16 pm) That's what happened to me. Still have the problem even though they had tried 4 times to fix it already. I'd even filed a lemon law case with the Attorney Office but did not win the case since the problem was normal to them.

Replying to: drew08 (Jun 26, 2008 5:05 am) My squeal is fixed and my solution is to ignore everything Nissan Corporate tells you. I’ve been driving 4 weeks now and no squeal!   I bought my used 2005 Infi FX 35 with 29k miles on it around December of last year. I literally drove it back to the CarMax dealer every week for a month after first hearing the squeal. It only squealed at certain times… not consistently, but it was loud when it did squeal! So I recorded video of the squealing and hounded the heck out of the service department. They finally fixed it by installing Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads which are made of a softer material that does not squeal and is NOT made by Nissan. And of course Nissan would never tell you to buy an off-brand product to fix your Nissan/Infiniti car.   My problem was such a confusion for the CarMax dealer that they got the Nissan factory (located 15 miles from where I bought my Infiniti) to give suggestions, but none of the suggestions ever worked. The techs at CarMax spent over 3 months trying different types of Nissan factory brakes including changing out shims. The tech also found a couple of Nissan service requests that he followed up on, but all Nissan suggestions failed. My dealer even got the local Infiniti dealer in on it thinking they would be more help. The annoying thing about that is that I went to the local Infiniti service department at the same time I was harassing CarMax and the Infiniti dealer wanted me to spend over $1,000 to put all new parts (Nissan parts mind you) on the car which probably still would not have fixed it.   I hope this fixes everyone elses problems too even though I know each problem is unique. I do have to thank the Jackson, Mississippi CarMax dealer for all the time and money they spent. I know it should be normal in the business world, but I’m not used to having customer service that finally resolves the problem like this. Lars is the service manager and he spent hours researching this… so much that he earned a couple of certifications on brakes while he researched my problem. Lars never once got angry at me even though I pestered the heck out of him. NISSAN KNOWS the fix and won't say it. Thank You Lars!!!
#24 of 25 What is Wrong With My Brakes? by discount80 Jul 05, 2009 (9:23 am)
I have a 2009 Murano with 20k miles on it and for the last couple montsh I have been having loud squeals and squeeks when pressure is applied to the brakes. My question is what is the normal wear period on pads? is it possible I need pads or is this just more of the same problems with brakes making noises that people on here are speaking of? I look forward to anyones input. Thanks!

Replying to: fllemonlaw (Mar 06, 2008 10:24 pm) I had the same problem on my '07 when I got it new. There is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) which Nissan has sent to the dealers on this issue. They need to add a shim kit to your brake pads. I had the front done and then a few months later the rears done and for 2 years no noise.   You can search the TSBs for the veh on edmunds. Go to the dealer. Tell him about the TSB and make him look it up. If he doesn't know what you are talking about then go to a dealer than has some idea how to service the vehicles they sell.
