Consumer Description

2002 NISSAN ALTIMA FRONT FLOORPANS ROTTING THROUGH. I FOUND OUT TODAY AND WAS SHOCKED! THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, BUT THE INSPECTION GARAGE POINTED OUT THE RUST. HE SAID HE SEES IT A LOT ON ALTIMAS AT AUCTION! I SEE ONLINE IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM,THAT NISSAN WONT ADMIT TO BEING AT BLAME. IT SEEM THAT A FLOOR PLUG WAS NEVER SEALED AT THE FACTORY AND THE RUST STARTS AT THAT POINT AND JUST SPREADS! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH HOLES IN YOUR FLOORS PREMATURELY! THE REST OF THE UNDERSIDE IS SOLID, SO IT ISN'T DUE TO ROAD SALT, OR THE WHOLE FLOOR WOULD BE ROTTED. ITS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEMS ON THOUSANDS OF CARS! *KB
