NHTSA Complaint #10438930 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

WHAT ONCE WAS TWO DECENT SIZED RUST AREAS ON THE FLOORBOARD OF MY NISSAN ALTIMA IS NOW TWO GAPING HOLES IN WHICH YOU CAN SEE AND PUT YOUR HAND STRAIGHT THROUGH AND TOUCH THE GROUND OUTSIDE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE CARPET. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND MY MECHANIC POINTED OUT TO ME. THE IT ALL MADE SENSE BECAUSE WHEN EVER IT RAINED OR SNOWED BADLY IN MY AREA I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE WET FLOORS AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS LEAKING BUT I NOW KNOW IT'S THE TWO RUST CORROSION SPOT IN THE FLOORBOARD. AND SOME DAYS THE ODOR FROM THE WETNESS ON THE CARPET IS PUNGENT. ONE IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE OTHER IS RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH MY WARRANTY AND VEHICLE INFO BOOKS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE AND IT DEFINITELY SHOWS THAT RUST WARRANTY IS LIFETIME OR SOMETHING TO THAT NATURE I AM GOING TO LOOK AT IT ONCE AGAIN AND ENSURE IF THAT INFORMATION IS CORRECT. *TR
