They told me the same thing. My sister bought one and she was told at the time she first brought it in, that there is not a fix.
They told me that they were working on it as well. WELL! I am going to file and suggest others to do the same thing...If enough complaints come through in regards to the same problem, they are bound to get off their behinds and do something to really fix this issue...
The Lemon Law claim in my state is 2 years/24 thousand miles for the same problem under warrenty for 4 times...OR 2 times for the same problem and the judge can rule that it is a safety issue...Then Nissan has to comply....
THey are also NOT a member of the BBB, and they don't have to respond if they don't want to...But at least the complaint will be there..
I am also thinking about clicking the link at the bottom of the BBB website because they provide our local news stations investigator information....

I too am filing a BBB Lemon Law claim. The squeal started two days after I took ownership. Originally they said it was brake dust when I called in. That didnt sit well so I made an appt for them to look at it. They turned the rotors, and squeal returned in two days.

I called for them to repair it, they refuse to take it in saying they have no fix that is a sure thing. I called Nissan corporate to make a complaint. After a week, they said there is no fix. I asked for a fix or my money back, they said file a complaint at the BBB. I did.

The service rep even lied to me, saying there was a TSB saying not to do anything for this squeal, that they are working on it. How pathetic is that, working on it since 2003. If I had known about this, I wouldnt have bought the vehicle. If this is how they handle brakes, what about the rest of the vehicle?

I really like the ride, the interior (except the worlds worst "premium stereo").

I would never have let them turn the rotors, and if had my choice I'd make them put on new ones to bring them back to normal.

Still, pathetic that they cant fix a brake squeal that has been going on for years.

Here in Florida, there is mediation, and the complaint goes to BBB as well as the State Attorney General.

wish me luck.

Finally sent my lemon law complaint to Nissan Corporate by registered mail, with return receipt. Once they get it, they have ten days to get my car inspected.

Guess the poopie hits the fan now...

I am not wildly enthusiastic on your chances.
"Use, value, safety."
That's what the FL lemon law is all about.
There is nothing about squealing brakes that would compromise Use of same.....or Safety.
So, your only chance IMO is value.
You will need to keep hitting them, saying that the squeal detracts from the vehicles value.

And one other thing, you don't get a chance to direct the repair.
If they say they want to turn the rotors, and you say no, then they have every right to escort you off the property.

So, be reasonable, base your case on supposed lost value, and good luck.

Its my opinion that it certainly does detract and lower the value.

They already turned the rotors once. We all know that doesnt work for this. So if they turn them again, it still wont work. They refused twice to repair it after they turned the rotors and that didnt work.

I like a lot of things about my Murano, but the loud squeal of the brakes in the morning is absolutely embarrasing..

My question is this... we have 56K on our MO, and we've had the squeak for a while now. Obviously it's not under warranty anymore, and a TSB is not the same as a recall, so can I assume that I'm gonna be spending some $$ to get them to "fix" this?

The car is coming off lease in September, so I'm hesitant to shell out a bunch of cash to fix it.

Thanks...

 

[PVal]

There is not a fix...I have spoken with the Manufacturer and they have told me that they have been aware of the problem, but don't have a fix for it at this time...They are working on one, but I think that is a bunch of bull...

Depends how nice your dealer is. You are correct in that TSBs are not recalls - i.e. they are just updated service procedures. If you can get them performed under warranty, then its free, but out of warranty, all the TSB serves as is peace of mind that the fix will probably work.

At 56k, you might be due for a front brake job anyways.

Well, Nissan got my lemon law complaint. Now there is newfound interest in my problem. They are getting a "Technical Specialist" to look at it. They have ten days to fix it then, and if they fix it and it still is a problem, guess its buy it back time for them.

I really do like the Murano. They looks, ride, seats, etc. I have been getting decent mileage. The stereo sucks, but I was going to fix that.

Wish me luck

I am about to get mine ready to send as well...I am watching your progess.....I wonder how this will end...

 

[powerglide]

7000 miles and still squaking all the time (not just on back up)
dealer giving me the run around

any new developments on this front folks?

 

[Backdoctor]

Well thanks to a lemon law complaint the replaced my brakes. Days later it squealed once, but ya know what, its been colder than a witches nose and not a squeal in a while.

Now, what about the noisy brake pedal?

better call them on that.

03 with Squeaky brakes

Just purchased a 2003 Murano with 35,000 miles on it. Few days later the brakes are squaking like everyone elses when backing up only. I know there is a TSB for this and was wondering since I have a 2003 and the original warranty was 3/36 will the dealership do the repair or should I expect a hassle?

Thanks - other than this we are loving the 2003 Murano.

Buried in this thread is my experience. I did the TSB, it was gone for a day and back again. The noise is gone now except for a couple of times that I heard it ever so faintly. Very frustrating for you now but it should go away by itself. Thought by now at 35K it should be gone. If you can get them to do a TSB, great, I'd go for it as you get new pads. My guess is they will pull the more than 3 year rule and warranty is gone.
Good luck.

My breaks squeak as well, really annoying!!!:banghead:

 

[SATELLITEGML]

seems like this particular thread is a bit old but, i can vouch for the squeeky brakes in the morning and so forth, but lately it seems to have become more frequent, even when driving slowly. Is it possible to have the dealer replace the disks in case of glazing?

Had mine changed and it did not help a bit...Both items were replaced, brakes first and then the rotaters..

 

[SATELLITEGML]

is it possible that its not even the brakes themselves, because the squeaking noise only happens when my foot is lightly on the brakes. It almost sounds like the whistling from a boiling tea kettle. im going to see if i can record the noise.

Yes, its really loud especially when it rains or its really humid outside...

They said it had something to do with the brake assembly and that there was not a fix...This little tidbit they fail to disclose before you purchase the car...I would not have bought it if I had known...
